What is a jumbo loan and when do I need one?
In most Utah counties, a loan above the conforming limit is a jumbo loan; Summit County and a few high-cost areas carry higher limits. Jumbos have stricter credit, reserve, and documentation requirements because no agency guarantee stands behind them, though rates are often competitive with conforming loans. They come up most in Park City, the Salt Lake foothills, and luxury southern Utah purchases.
