Here is a list of some essential things to know about jumbo mortgages in Pennsylvania:

Loan limit: the jumbo loan limit for Pennsylvania is $806,500, except for Pike County where it is $970,800.

Down payment: most lenders usually ask for 20% down, but you can still get a loan with 10% down, particularly for the purchase of a residential property.

Mortgage insurance: lenders usually require borrowers to pay monthly mortgage insurance. But you can reduce the premium significantly by increasing the down payment.

Qualification: qualification standards for jumbo loans are not all that stringent. With a 680 credit score, 43% debt-to-income ratio, and proof of consistent income, you will almost certainly qualify for a jumbo mortgage.

Types: your options depend on the lender’s packages. But generally, there are adjustable-rate loans (most have a maximum period of 10 years) and fixed-rate loans of 15, 20 and 30-year terms.
