Imperial
Jumbo Loan Limits in Imperial County California in 2016
The term “jumbo” mortgage applies to loans for exceptionally high dollar amounts. Each year, Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC), the government-affiliated agencies that market mortgages within the U.S., define the point at which a traditional mortgage ends, and a jumbo begins. These types of loans are increasingly popular-and necessary-for buyers trying to borrow large amounts to purchase their homes. In Imperial County as people begin to shop for homes again, many require jumbo loans.
A number of different jumbo loan options are available to people living in the Imperial area – through either the FHA jumbo loan program or through a number of private lenders (such as US Bank) who each have different requirements when it comes to LTV, debt to income ratios, credit scores and down payments.
For 2016 the Imperial County conforming loan limit is 417,000 and it is also the FHA jumbo loan limit for Imperial County.
