Will Jumbo Loan Rates Ever Drop?
A few months ago when the Economic Stimulus Package was passed…there was lots of news about the new Conforming Loan Rates for jumbo loans. People were very excited at first saying that this would fix so many things…however, at the time…there were many skeptics, including me. Over the past month or two as this all has come into effect…unfortunately, many of the skeptics have been proven right.
Thankfully, the government has been quick to notice the problems that have been occurring and have been working hard to fix things. In the past couple of weeks we have begun to see rates drop on jumbo loans as well. There are still many questions to be answered and it still stands to be seen if they will allow these changes to become more long term or end at the end of the year. Thankfully, we are starting to see light in the mortgage industry…hopefully this will help out market rebound very quickly. The summer will tell alot!

Hi Samuel, the spread between conforming and jumbo-conforming is about 0.125-0.250% in rate right now…they dropped a week or so ago.

Thanks…I saw that they were finally beginning to fall…I didn’t know how much. Hopefully this will help some of the higher priced homes to start moving again.

Samuel, I hope so too because I don’t believe the lower rates will last due to inflation. This is a window of opportunity to have a conforming jumbo (up to $567500) with a rate under or close to 6%.

They will pretty much stay higher as they are riskier nowadays since values are continuing to decline nationwide. But we know at some point it will cease.
