Jumbo Outweighs

 

A very unusual event has occurred - which is Jumbo rates have dipped below Conventional Conforming Loans (backed by the government)!  

 

 

This is quite an unusual event, but some people are theorizing that the stricter standards and higher credit scores required are yielding lower rates for these higher loans as banks and other financial institutions are looking to attract well-heeled clients with low risk.   In the Washington, DC markets Jumbo loans are not unusual with starter home prices exceeding $700K in close in neighborhoods.

We are seeing the same thing here in Florida the bank now want to hold some of the prime mortgages since many clients have been paying cash for high end property here.

It has been interesting. I'd take advantage of it now because I'm sure the market will make adjustments and things will get back to "normal."

For some time, the rate difference between conventional and jumbo loans have been pretty close, but I was surprised to see the change you described.

Make it a great weekend!
