Jumbo Loans in Tempe: 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 Tempe market

Tempe is Arizona State University, a dense rental market, and a mature suburb south of the 60 that families rarely leave. Condos and townhomes near campus, single-family in South Tempe, and investors everywhere in between.
