Jumbo Loan Closing Cost Considerations

For homes in this price range, you may need a jumbo loan:

  • Higher reserves required: 6-12 months of payments in savings
  • Second appraisal possible: Some jumbo lenders require two appraisals
  • Stricter documentation: Full income verification, multiple months of statements
  • Lower LTV caps: May require larger down payment than conforming loans
