what is the new conforming loan limits
Jumbo Loans. Jumbo loans are too large to meet the guidelines of a conforming loan. For example, if you are buying a home in a county in which the conforming loan limit is $417,000, and you are taking out a single mortgage for $500,000, you'll need a jumbo loan. As jumbo loans do not meet the standards of a conforming loan, they are more difficult to sell on the secondary market.
