Question 1

What is the jumbo loan threshold in Siskiyou County?

Accepted Answer

Any loan exceeding the FHFA conforming limit requires jumbo financing. Siskiyou County follows the baseline limit — not a high-cost area adjustment.

Question 2

Can I use a jumbo loan to buy ranch land in Fort Jones?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but lenders evaluate mixed-use rural properties carefully. Agricultural income and acreage complicate underwriting — not every jumbo lender will touch it.

Question 3

How much down payment do jumbo loans require?

Accepted Answer

Most jumbo lenders want 20% down minimum. Some allow 10-15% with stronger credit and reserves, but options shrink in rural markets.

Question 4

Are jumbo rates higher than conforming rates?

Accepted Answer

Often yes, though the gap shifts with market conditions. Rates vary by borrower profile and market conditions — get quotes to see the actual spread.

Question 5

How long does a jumbo loan take to close in Siskiyou County?

Accepted Answer

Allow 45-60 days. Rural appraisals take longer and title searches on large parcels add time. Pick a lender with rural California experience.

Question 6
