Financing for high-value home purchases that exceed conforming loan limits — in Vacaville, Fairfield, and across Solano County.
Buying a home priced above $1.2 million in Solano County? You're in jumbo loan territory. Jumbo loans are mortgage products designed for high-value properties — they offer flexibility on loan amount but come with stricter qualification standards. At Pacific Community Lender, we work with multiple jumbo loan partners to structure financing that fits the property and your financial profile.
A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Because these loans are too large to be backed by government-sponsored agencies, they carry their own underwriting standards and are funded by private lenders.

Jumbo loans typically work well if you:
Are buying a high-value primary home in Solano County
Are purchasing a second home or vacation property above conforming limits
Are buying a luxury investment property
Have strong credit (typically 700+, often 740+ for the most favorable terms)
Have significant cash reserves beyond the down payment
Have a stable, well-documented income (W-2 or self-employed with strong tax returns)
Because jumbo loans are not government-backed, lenders typically require stronger borrower profiles:
Credit score: Usually 700+ minimum, with 740+ preferred
Down payment: Often 10–20% (some programs accept less, some require more)
Debt-to-income ratio: Typically capped at 43% or below
Cash reserves: Many lenders require 6–12 months of mortgage payments held in reserves
Documentation: Full income verification, tax returns, asset statements
Appraisal: Often two independent appraisals required for very large loans
Every jumbo program is different — we'll match you with the lender whose standards align with your profile.
We review your credit, income, assets, and the property you're targeting to identify which jumbo programs you qualify for.
Once we lock in the right lender match, we issue a pre-approval letter you can use to make offers.
Once you're under contract, we move into full underwriting.
Jumbo underwriting is more thorough than conventional; expect 30–45 days from contract to closing.
Sign the documents, get the keys.
