Definition of Jumbo Loan from Mortgage Glossary

Jumbo Loan

A loan that is larger than the limits set yearly by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac ($359,650 as of 1/1/2005). Because jumbo loans cannot be funded by these two agencies, jumbo loans usually carry a higher interest rate. Also called a non-conforming loan.

For Alaska, Hawaii, and the Virgin Islands, the limit is 50% higher. Spread between conforming and jumbo loan financing rates varies with the economy.
