Jumbo Loans in Murray, Utah

Conforming loan limits are set annually by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. In most Utah counties, the limit for a single-family home is updated each year. Properties priced above this limit require jumbo financing. We can confirm the current limit for your county and help you determine whether conforming or jumbo financing is the right path. Some high-cost areas may have higher conforming limits.

Jumbo loans typically require a minimum credit score of 700–720, a down payment of 10–20% (some lenders offer 10% down with strong reserves), 6–12 months of reserves after closing, and a debt-to-income ratio below 43%.
