If you’re eyeing a home priced above the conforming loan limits, a jumbo mortgage might be your best path forward. Use this example scenario to understand your monthly payment, cash-to-close, and income requirements—before you make an offer.
Purchase Overview
| Detail | Amount |
|---|---|
| Purchase Price | $1,500,000 |
| Down Payment (10%) | $150,000 |
| Loan Amount | $1,350,000 |
| Estimated Interest Rate | 5.99% (fixed) |
| Loan Term | 30 years |
Monthly Housing Expenses
| Component | Monthly Cost |
|---|---|
| Principal & Interest | $8,085 |
| Property Taxes | $1,000 |
| Homeowners Insurance | $500 |
| HOA (if any) | $0 |
| Total Monthly Payment | $9,585 |
Cash to Close
| Description | Total |
|---|---|
| Down Payment (10%) | $150,000 |
| Estimated Closing Costs (3%) | $45,000 |
| Total Out of Pocket WITHOUT Seller Credit | $195,000 |
| With 3% Seller Credit | $150,000 |
Pro Tip: Requesting a seller credit during negotiation can help cover closing costs and reduce your cash needed at closing. Ask your loan officer how much your seller can legally contribute toward fees and prepaids based on your loan structure.
Optional Interest-Only Strategy
| Option | Monthly Amount |
|---|---|
| Interest-Only Payment | $6,739 |
If you’re not planning to stay long-term or want to invest the payment difference elsewhere, an interest-only loan might be a strategic option. Speak with a lender about pros and cons.
Income Needed to Qualify
Most jumbo lenders evaluate your debt-to-income ratio (DTI) carefully. Here’s what you’d need based on standard DTI thresholds:
| Requirement | Estimate |
|---|---|
| Monthly Income to Qualify (DTI ≤ 43%) | $22,291 |
