Conventional Loans
Secured by government sponsored entities (GSE) such as Fannie
Mae and Freddie Mac, Conventional Loans can be made to purchase or
refinance homes with first and second mortgages on single family to
four family homes.
In general, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac's single family, first mortgage
loan limit is $417,000 in 2006. This limit is reviewed annually and,
if needed, changed to reflect changes in the national average price
for single family homes. The current loan limit applies to all conventional
mortgages delivered after January 1, 2006.
Jumbo Loans
Loans which are larger than the limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac are called jumbo loans. Because jumbo loans are not funded by
these GSE, they usually carry a higher interest rate and some additional
underwriting requirements.
Ask your loan officer about our in-house and secondary market jumbo financing options.
