Dream Big With
a Jumbo Loan

Big home goals need bold financing.
We’ve got you covered.

Got your eye on a home in a coveted neighborhood with more square footage, a killer view, or the kitchen of your dreams? It might come with a price tag above standard mortgage loan limits, but that’s not a problem when you’ve got Utah First by your side.

Utah First jumbo loans are built for bold buyers ready to step into something a little bigger and a lot more exciting. Whether you’re moving up, buying in a red-hot market, or finally springing for the home that checks every box, we’ll help you finance a high-value property with friendly local service and flexible options.

What’s a Jumbo Loan?

Jumbo loans are mortgages for high-value luxury homes, large properties, and houses in competitive markets. They allow you to buy above standard lending limits and get the place you actually want, not just the one that fits the cap, all without the extra hurdles. Instead of piecing together multiple loans or tapping into complicated financing, you get one clean solution under one roof, literally.

At Utah First, we specialize in making big loans feel like no big deal. You’ll get expert guidance, local decision-making, and a process that’s clear from day one. We’re here to help you go bigger with confidence and spend more time planning the housewarming party and less time on paperwork!

Why Choose a Jumbo Loan?

Here’s what makes Utah First jumbo loans the MVP of high-dollar home buying:

  • Bigger Loans, One Simple Package: Get the full amount you need in a single, streamlined loan — even if your dream home is a little extra.
  • Flexible Financing Options: Not a fan of one-size-fits-all financing? Neither are we. Choose from flexible terms and structures built around your goals.
  • Competitive Interest Rates: Think bigger means higher interest? Our jumbo loans come with competitive locked-in rates that keep your monthly payments in check.
  • No Hidden Hassles: Our process is easy and works around your timeline. From application to closing, you’ll have a dedicated team making sure everything moves smoothly.

Who Are Jumbo Loans For?

Don’t let the name fool you! Jumbo loans aren’t just for those in higher tax brackets. They’re for anyone buying a home priced above the limits of a typical mortgage.

Whether you’re buying a primary residence, second home, or investment property, a jumbo loan makes it doable to say “yes” to the home you really want.

Consider going jumbo if:

  • You’ve found the one, and it’s priced above standard loan limits
  • You’ve got good credit, stable income, and big-home ambition
  • You don’t want to duct-tape together multiple mortgages to make it work
  • You’re buying a one-of-a-kind house, second property, or something with views

Not sure if your dream digs count as “jumbo”? Let Utah First walk you through it.

How Do I Qualify for a Jumbo Loan?

If you’ve been dreaming big but sweating the loan process, take a breath. Getting qualified is totally doable — especially with a lender that actually knows your name and looks at the full picture, not just the numbers.

You’ll typically need:

  • A solid credit score
  • A low debt-to-income ratio
  • Proof that your paycheck is paychecking and assets are stacking
  • A down payment with some heft, usually 10% to 20%

We get that life isn’t black and white, and we’re not here to gatekeep. So if you’re close but not quite there on the requirements, let’s talk. We’re pros at helping people achieve their jumbo dreams!

FAQ

What’s the difference between a jumbo loan and a conventional loan?

Conventional loans are great if your dream home is mid-sized and moderately priced. But when your taste (or neighborhood) calls for something bigger, you’ll likely need a jumbo loan.

These go above standard borrowing limits and give you the flexibility to buy the home you really want without slicing and dicing your mortgage into multiple loans. You’ll need a little more documentation, but you’ll enjoy conventional rates.

Do jumbo loans require a larger down payment?

Yep — usually around 10% and 20%, depending on your financial profile. But don’t worry! We’ll help you find a number that doesn’t break your budget (or your spirit).

Can I use a jumbo loan to buy a second home or investment property?

Absolutely! Want a cabin in Park City? A rental in Sugarhouse? A beach house without the beach? Jumbo loans work for second homes, vacation spots, and investment properties, too.

What credit score do I need for a jumbo loan?

Shoot for 700+. Higher scores can sometimes mean better rates. But if you’re in the ballpark, we’ll work with you. We see the person, not just the number!

Is it harder to get approved for a jumbo loan?

More paperwork? Sure. But harder? Not when you have us on your team. Our job is to simplify, guide, and cheer you on so you don’t have to decode mortgage speak or chase down documents alone.
