What Is a Jumbo Loan?
A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA). For 2026, the conforming loan limit for most areas is $832,750. Any loan amount above this threshold is considered a "jumbo" loan and cannot be purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
In Houston's luxury and high-value neighborhoods — including River Oaks, Memorial, West University, The Woodlands, and Sugar Land — jumbo loans are often necessary to finance the home you want.
