About JumbTX

JumbTX is an independent, informational website about jumbo mortgages and high-value property financing in Texas. It is written for buyers and owners who want to understand the process before talking with a licensed lender.

We are not a lender, mortgage broker, loan originator or real-estate brokerage, we are not NMLS- or TREC-licensed, and we do not list properties or take applications. Earlier versions of this site displayed loan-volume figures and property listings; those were removed because they were not backed by a real business or licence.

Verify any lender on NMLS Consumer Access and any real-estate agent with the Texas Real Estate Commission before you work with them.

What we cover

• What is a jumbo loan? – Loans above the conforming loan limit set each year by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
• Qualifying – Typical credit, down-payment, reserve and debt-to-income expectations.
• Rates & pricing – What drives jumbo pricing and how it compares with conforming loans.
• Ranch & land – How financing large-acreage Texas property can differ from a standard home loan.
• Refinancing a jumbo – When refinancing a large balance may or may not make sense.
• Calculators – Jumbo payment, affordability, rental and investment-return calculators.

How we write

Articles are written for general readers and are reviewed and updated periodically. They are not written for your specific situation and may not reflect the latest rule changes. Where possible we point to the official source (for example a government agency or regulator) so you can check the current rules yourself.

Advertising

This site may display advertising (for example Google AdSense). Advertisers do not write or approve our articles, and an advertisement is not an endorsement.
