The median owner-occupied home in Broadlands is valued at about $896,900. HMDA data show 369 non-conforming (jumbo) first mortgages in Loudoun County in 2024. Whether your loan counts as jumbo depends on the loan amount and the limit for your county in the year you apply.

Where the conforming limit ends and jumbo begins

Every year FHFA publishes the maximum loan size that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can purchase. That ceiling differs by county, and some high-cost counties have a higher ceiling than others. Any first mortgage above the figure for your county is a jumbo, also called a non-conforming loan.

The line matters because it decides who sets the rules. A conforming loan follows standardized guidelines. A jumbo follows whatever the lender or the investor buying the loan requires, which is why two jumbo offers can look quite different. Ask any lender you speak with to confirm the limit for the county where the property sits before you assume which side of the line you are on.

Why jumbo underwriting asks for more documentation

A lender holding a large loan without a government or agency backstop wants a clear view of your ability to repay. Expect requests for complete tax returns, all pages of bank and brokerage statements, and written explanations for large deposits. Self-employed borrowers are often asked for business returns and a year-to-date profit and loss statement.

Credit review also tends to be stricter, and some files go to a second underwriter for review. None of this means you will not qualify. It means the lender needs to see the story behind your income and assets, so organized paperwork can make the process smoother. Programs vary by borrower, property and investor.

Jumbo appraisals, reserves and refinancing in Broadlands

Expect the appraisal to carry extra weight on a large loan. The appraiser has to support the value with nearby sales, and in neighborhoods with few comparable homes that can take time. A low value can change how much you need to bring to closing, so build some cushion into your timeline.

After closing, lenders want to see that you still have money set aside. These reserves can come from checking, savings, brokerage or retirement accounts, though each type may be counted differently. Owners refinancing a jumbo, whether to change the loan structure or take cash out, go through a similar review of assets and property value.

Questions Broadlands borrowers ask about jumbo loans

Is a jumbo loan only for buying a home?

No. Owners of high-value homes also use jumbo refinances to change from an adjustable to a fixed structure, adjust the term, remove a co-borrower or take cash out. The same closer look at income, assets and appraised value applies. If your current balance has dropped below the conforming limit for your county, a conforming refinance may also be an option worth comparing.

Why might a jumbo loan need two appraisals?

Some lenders and investors require a second appraisal or an additional review when the loan amount is especially large. Higher-value homes often have fewer comparable sales nearby, so a second opinion helps the lender confirm the value supporting the loan. If two appraisals are required, the lender usually relies on the lower value, which can affect how much you need to bring to closing.

Can I get a jumbo loan if I am self-employed?

You may be eligible. Self-employed borrowers usually provide personal and business tax returns covering more than one recent filing, along with a year-to-date profit and loss statement and business bank statements. Lenders typically average income over time and look for stability or growth. Some investors offer alternative documentation programs, though terms and requirements vary by borrower, property and investor.

What are reserves, and why do jumbo lenders care about them?

Reserves are liquid funds you still have after paying your down payment and closing costs, usually measured in months of total housing expense. Jumbo lenders often look for more reserves than conforming lenders because the loans are larger and lack agency backing. Checking, savings, brokerage and some retirement funds may count, though retirement assets are sometimes valued at less than their full balance.
