Financing for loan amounts above conventional limits, built for higher-value properties.
When a loan amount exceeds the conforming limit set for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, it becomes a jumbo loan, funded by lenders who hold or sell those loans privately.
Jumbo underwriting looks closely at income, assets and reserves. Programs vary widely from lender to lender, which is exactly where shopping the file pays off.
We compare jumbo options across lenders — full documentation and alternative documentation — to find the one that fits your situation.
A jumbo loan is a mortgage larger than the conforming limit. In Bexar County that limit is $832,750 for a one-unit home in 2026, so a loan above it is a jumbo loan.
For context, the median value of owner-occupied homes in San Antonio is $235,700, according to the Census Bureau's 2020–2024 American Community Survey.
Jumbo guidelines vary much more from lender to lender than conforming ones, so we compare several for each borrower.
Every borrower’s situation is different, so the right next step is a conversation about your income, savings and timeline.
