What is a jumbo loan?
A jumbo loan is a mortgage that exceeds the conforming loan limit set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency. In most Kansas counties in 2026, jumbo territory begins above $806,500 for a one-unit property. Jumbo loans typically require higher credit scores, larger down payments, and more reserves than conforming loans.
In Kansas, jumbo loans are most commonly seen in Johnson County (Leawood, Overland Park, Mission Hills), parts of east Wichita, and premium Lawrence neighborhoods.
