What is a Jumbo Mortgage?

When you find a beautiful home in the Reading, PA area, or anywhere in the nation, with a purchase price that exceeds the maximum conventional loan amount, a jumbo mortgage could be a good fit. It can provide competitive rates and terms that may help you avoid taking out a second home loan.

A jumbo mortgage is any mortgage that exceeds the current conventional loan limit of $417,000 ($625,500 in various locations), as defined by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, but does not exceed $2.5 million. 

Jumbo mortgages are generally available on first homes and vacation homes, but borrowers must be able to meet stricter requirements, such as high credit scores (700 or better), low debt-to-income ratios, and larger down payments (at least 20%). 

The locally knowledgeable Bellco FCU mortgage experts will evaluate your creditworthiness based on your past credit use, debts, assets and your current income. Then we’ll calculate how much you can afford to borrow and guide you through the process.

If the terms of the jumbo mortgage are not right for you, Bellco FCU offers home mortgage options with various terms and requirements, including 15- and 30-year fixed rate mortgages, FHA mortgages, VA mortgages, USDA mortgages, and more. We can assist you with a mortgage program that best fits your goals. 

Finding the right mortgage, whether conventional or jumbo, will set a solid foundation for successful homeownership. Bellco FCU in Berks County, PA has the tools, information and expertise to help you make the right decisions. Contact us today to learn more!
