Jumbo Loans in Scottsdale, AZ

A large share of Scottsdale purchases run above the conforming limit, so jumbo structure and pricing decide the deal. Ricky's office sits on Hayden Road in the middle of it.

Jumbo Loans in Scottsdale: what you need to know

A jumbo loan is any mortgage above the conforming loan limit set annually for Maricopa County. Jumbo loans are underwritten to the lender's own guidelines, which means structure, reserves, and documentation matter more than on a conforming loan, and the right lender can make a big difference in rate and approval.

• Financing well into the multi-million range for purchases and refinances
• 10% to 20% down options for strong borrowers
• Fixed and ARM structures, including interest-only where appropriate
• Asset depletion, bank statement, and RSU income options for complex borrowers
• VA jumbo with zero down for eligible veterans

The Scottsdale market

Scottsdale is the Valley's luxury and second-home capital. Golf communities, gated HOAs, high-rise and mid-rise condos in Old Town, and custom builds in the north end mean financing here is rarely plain vanilla. Condo project approvals, HOA reviews, and jumbo pricing decide more deals in Scottsdale than credit scores do.

Frequently asked questions

What is the jumbo loan limit in Scottsdale?

Any loan above the conforming limit for Maricopa County is a jumbo. The limit is updated every January. Call for the current number and how your loan amount lands against it.

How much down do I need for a jumbo loan in Scottsdale?

Typically 10% to 20% depending on loan amount, credit, and reserves. Larger loan amounts require more down and more reserves.

Are jumbo rates higher?

Not necessarily. Jumbo pricing is often at or below conforming for strong borrowers. We price both and show you.

I'm self-employed. Can I get a jumbo loan in Scottsdale?

Yes. Full-doc with two years of returns is the standard path, and bank statement or asset-based programs exist for borrowers whose returns understate their income.
