About This Program in Steamboat Springs
With a median price of $1,150,000, most Steamboat Springs home purchases exceed Routt County's $1,089,050 conforming limit — making jumbo financing the standard, not the exception. Jumbo loans above $1,089,050 are not sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and are instead underwritten by portfolio lenders, each with their own guidelines. Down payment requirements typically start at 20% ($230,000) and can go lower on select programs with strong credit profiles.
