- Often 6–12 months of payments
- Documentation

Jumbo loan questions
A jumbo loan is any mortgage above the conforming loan limit for the county. For 2026, the conforming limit is $832,750 in most Colorado counties and higher in high-cost counties: $862,500 in the Denver metro, $879,750 in Boulder, $1,092,500 in Summit and up to $1,249,125 in Eagle County. Loans above your county's limit are jumbo loans.
Requirements vary by lender and loan amount. Typical guidelines include a credit score of 700 or higher, a debt-to-income ratio around 43% or lower, 10–20% down, 6–12 months of payments in reserves, and full documentation of income and assets.
Jumbo rates change daily and depend on the loan amount, down payment, credit and property type. Jumbo pricing is sometimes close to conforming pricing for strong borrowers, but not always. Call (303) 549-5277 for a current quote.
Yes. We finance jumbo second homes in mountain communities such as Vail, Aspen, Telluride and Breckenridge. Second-home jumbo loans often need a larger down payment and more reserves than a primary residence, and the home must be for your own use part of the year rather than a full-time rental.
There's no single cap. Each jumbo investor sets its own maximum, and loans above about $2 million (often called super jumbo) usually need more down and more reserves. Tell us the price range you're considering and we'll show you which programs fit.
Yes, interest-only jumbo options are available for qualified borrowers through some investors. They can help with cash flow, but the payment rises when the interest-only period ends. We'll walk through the full payment schedule before you decide.
