Jumbo Loan
Financing Larger Home Purchases With Customized Solutions
Jumbo Loans for High-Value Home Purchases
When purchasing a property that exceeds conventional loan limits, a jumbo loan may be your best financing solution. Jumbo mortgages are designed to finance higher-priced homes that go beyond conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
Whether you’re buying in prestigious neighborhoods around Prescott, Prescott Valley, Chino Valley, or Dewey-Humboldt, or investing in luxury or custom properties in Northern Arizona, Greg Riordan offers jumbo lending strategies tailored to your financial profile.
What Is a Jumbo Loan?
A jumbo loan is a non-conforming mortgage used for home purchases above the standard conforming limit — meaning it cannot be purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
In 2026, conforming loan limits for most of Yavapai County fall in the range of traditional conforming limits (check annual adjustments). When your purchase price exceeds those limits, you’ll likely need a jumbo mortgage — a higher-balance loan with flexible underwriting designed to support larger home investments.
Why Choose a Jumbo Loan?
Jumbo loans are appropriate for:
- Luxury homes and estates
- High-price single-family homes
- Unique or custom-built properties
- Properties in high-value neighborhoods
With jumbo financing, borrowers may benefit from:
- Competitive interest rates
- Flexible loan structures
- Financing tailored to individual financial profiles
Greg Riordan specializes in helping buyers navigate jumbo underwriting and structure loans that align with long-term financial goals, not just purchase price.
