Loan Options

Conforming & Non-Conforming

Conventional Loans

Conventional home loans can either be categorized as “conforming” or “non-conforming.” A conforming conventional loan is one that is backed and purchased by a government-sponsored enterprise, such as Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. In order to be considered a conventional loan, it must meet their criteria, and as of 2023 cannot exceed $726,000 in financing.

Loans that do not meet the criteria of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac are defined as non-conforming loans. Most often this is the result of the loan exceeding the maximum dollar amount for conforming loans. Once a loan surpasses the $726,000 limit, it is referred to as a jumbo loan.

Adjustable Rate Mortgages

Conventional Loans

Adjustable rate mortgages are structured to allow the interest rate applied to a loan to fluctuate with the market. Commonly these loans include a shorter period at the outset during which the rate is fixed, with the adjustable rates applied for the majority of the term. Rates are adjusted throughout the lifespan of the loan in relation to the nationwide prime rate, which is set by the Federal Reserve.
