Luxury Highlands Real Estate Benefits From Low Jumbo Rates

Lynn Kimball, Highlands real estate

Luxury Highlands real estate benefits from low jumbo rates.  Jumbo rates have made history, falling below rates for smaller home loans for the first time on record.  This is great news for buyers of luxury homes in Highlands NC, offering a great deal of savings over the lifetime of a loan and perhaps even luring some buyers into the market.

Traditionally a jumbo home loan is one that is for more that $417,000.  The amount can be higher in more expensive areas of the US, but in essence jumbo loans are a big part of luxury home transactions that involve a loan.  Jumbo loans are also not federally backed loans.  Over the past 6 or 7 years jumbo loans were typically .25 to 1.8 points higher than conforming loans.
