Chicago 5% Down Jumbo Loan

Chicago 5% Down Jumbo Loan

A Chicago 5% down jumbo loan is a mortgage amount over the conforming loan limit (set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency), which is currently set at $726,200 for a one-unit property in most of the country, Clark County included.  If a home buyer’s mortgage amount is $726,200 or higher, the loan is considered jumbo.  The good news is 95% Jumbo mortgage financing is available in Chicago. Home buyers with little down payment now have some great financing options with as little as a 5% down payment.

Below we have listed our current Jumbo loan to value credit requirements for primary homes loans in 2023:

  • 95% Loan to value: Up to $1,500,000 with 700+ credit score. Buyers can choose 1 loan up to or a 1st and 2nd mortgage combo.  Both Jumbo options have no monthly PMI
  • 90% Loan to value:  Up to $2,000,000 with 720+ credit score.
  • 85% Loan to value: Up to $3,000,000 with 740+ credit score.

The same factors examined when applying for any home loan are looked at when applying for a jumbo loan. However, qualifying for a jumbo loan often requires higher FICO credit scores, lower debt-to-income ratios, higher savings reserves than qualifying for a standard conforming home loan.

Jumbo Mortgage Requirements For Chicago Home Buyers:

  • Income must be documentable with W2 and pay stubs.  Self-employed borrowers will need to provide two years of tax returns.
  • Assets must be documented – two months of savings, retirement accounts, etc.
  • Your credit history (this is important, but Jumbo’s credit standards are flexible). A FICO score of 680 or above is needed to obtain loan approval.
  • Single-family homes and condos are eligible.
  • Primary Residences, Second homes and investment properties are eligible.  Down payment requirements will increase 10%-20% when the property is not a primary residence.

Chicago Jumbo Loan Benefits:

There are many benefits jumbo loans offer when compared to other methods for financing more expensive homes.

  • Financing available up to $6+ million
  • The convenience of one loan for the entire loan amount instead of having multiple mortgages
  • No monthly PMI option
  • 5% down payment for amounts to $1.5mil
