The housing market has continued to show signs of improvement in Oregon. As a result, select banks and lenders are starting to loosen mortgage qualifying requirements and allowing for lower down payments, even on Jumbo loans. A Jumbo loan is a loan amount that exceeds the conforming loan limits of $424,100. Some high-cost locations in OR can exceed this limit, but most the country is at $424,100. Down payment requirements for non conforming Jumbo are generally always higher, until now. Jumbo loans all the way up to 95% loan to value are now available to buyers in Portland, Eugene, Salem, etc. Additionally, existing home owners that want to refinance can also benefit from the higher loan to values. Here is a listing of the latest jumbo qualifying criteria: This applies to both Jumbo purchase and rate-term refinance transactions nationwide. Questions?

Jumbo loans are ideal for home buyers looking for luxury homes in higher cost locations in Oregon. These loans are designed to simplify home buying in pricey markets by covering the full cost of the loan, so there is no need for borrowers to drain their cash reserves.
