Jumbo Loans

These are mortgage loans which are issued beyond the conforming limits set by the Federal Housing Enterprise. They are not normally purchased, guaranteed or securitized by institutions like Freddie Mac and Fannies Mae.

Because they are beyond the said limits they are listed on a high risk basis, which yields higher returns. However, currently the spread between jumbo loans and conventional mortgage loans have reduced.
