For years after the financial crash homebuyers had to put down 20% to get a Jumbo Mortgage. Many would be home-buyers still believe this. 

Most people in the industry, including Realtors, know that you can put down much less than 20% down to get a conventional or FHA loan. They may not however know that 5% down Jumbo loans are available. 

Here are some reasons why Real Estate agents should tell their clients about lower downpayment Jumbo loans 

Benefits to a Low Downpayment Jumbo loan

  • A homebuyer may find a home in the perfect location , but the home needs work to update/modernize . This could lead to the buyer getting a much better price on the home and being able to make it exactly thiers. 
  • "Saving for a Rainy day" - Many times the 20% downpayment option plus the closing costs will drain the homebuyers accounts. This option leaves plenty for a rainy day fund
