Jumbo Loan Closing Cost Considerations
For homes in this price range, you may need a jumbo loan:

- 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
