Nashville-Davidson County Jumbo Mortgage

This page updated and accurate as of 02/07/2023 Jumbo Loan

Nashville Jumbo Home FinancingNashville and the surrounding locations have experienced rapid growth in recent years. Nashville currently adds about 100 new residents each day.  Job growth and the real estate market in general, have steadily increased in recent years.  With a solid real estate market comes the need for more expanded mortgage options.

For the high-cost homes, the Jumbo financing options have historically been limited.  However, that has changed with the recent expansion of more low-down payment programs. Jumbo loans today come in all shapes and sizes, below we will outline the approval requirements home buyers should know. Note: Jumbo loans in Tennessee are those that exceed the standard Fannie Mae limit. In most TN counties this limit is set to $726,200. In a handful of counties (Davidson County included), the limit is slightly higher.
