Super conforming mortgages were created in 2009 under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act which authorized Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac to establish “high-cost” area loan limits to accommodate the appreciation of home values. The purpose of this limited-time program is twofold: providing lenders with liquidity while lowering financing costs for borrowers in these areas.

At Community Mortgage, we continue to arrange super conforming loans for homeowners in the greater San Diego area. Also known as a “high-balance” conforming loan, these loans allow qualified borrowers to pay a lower interest rate, despite the fact the loan is available for a more expensive home

In short, super-conforming mortgage can be used to purchase or refinance a primary residence, second home or investment property. Eligible properties include single family residences, multi-family (2-4) units, Planned Unit Developments (PUDs), and Condominiums.

OTHER FEATURES

A super conforming mortgage eliminates the need for a borrower to take on multiple mortgages, which is more efficient and cost effective. Additionally, the credit requirements for high-cost loans are not as strict as jumbo mortgages and borrowers with credit blemishes may still be eligible. Community Mortgage will work to help you obtain a pre-approval from a lender that offers super conforming mortgage loans.

For homebuyers who are unable to come up with a large down payment, requirements for super conforming loans may be as low as 10 percent, provided that the borrower obtains mortgage insurance. Moreover, seller concessions up to 9 percent are permitted toward closing costs.

Finally, for those looking to refinance an existing mortgage, it is possible to refinance up to 90 percent of a primary home’s value, and a cash out refinance is permitted up to 75 percent of a primary home’s value.
