Loan Types
What is the difference between jumbo, conforming, and FHA loan limits?
Context
Loan size determines which set of rules and pricing a lender applies to your file.
The short answer
Conforming loans fall at or under the annual Fannie/Freddie limit; loans above it are jumbo and often have stricter credit, reserve, and down-payment requirements. FHA has its own county limits that sit between the two.
Things to keep in mind
Which bucket you land in affects pricing and guidelines, and limits are set annually, not by DMF. DMF does not place jumbo loans.
Next step
Contact DMF to see whether your loan amount fits the conforming or FHA limit; if it does not, we can refer you to a jumbo lender.
