Jumbo Home Loans

You need to qualify for the largest loan possible

Save significant amount of money in interest payments

Your monthly payment will be significantly higher than with a 30-year mortgage

You plan on staying in the home long-term

Level principal and interest payments for the full term of the loan

Benefits of the fixed rate are not realized until after the seventh year (A 7 Year Jumbo ARM is a better option if loan is paid-off within seven years)

You think interest rates will increase

No risk that changing market conditions will increase your monthly payments

Interest rates on Jumbo fixed rate loans are typically higher than conforming fixed rate loans

You don't expect your income to increase significantly over the coming years

You plan to be in your home 5-10 years 

Payment stability - your rate and principal and interest payment adjust only every five years

Rate is typically slightly higher than a Jumbo 5 Year ARM

 You want peace of mind knowing that your rate adjusts only every five years, not annually

Rate is lower than a fixed-rate mortgage, increasing your buying power

You're looking for an initial low rate and payment, but afraid of annual rate increases 

Smaller number of rate adjustments during the life of the loan may save you more money

 Lower payments allow for more cash flow

The loan is  assumable, with lender approval

If you want a longer initial fixed period than the 3 Year ARM

Initial fixed interest rate for five full years; rate adjusts every 6 months thereafter

It's riskier if you don't expect your income to increase over the initial five-year period to cover the change in monthly payment
