Jumbo loans are a bit more difficult to qualify for but not by very much as a credit score of 720 is fairly easy to achieve.
Buying A Modest Home

You do not need a jumbo loan if you are not buying a mansion.

It is not uncommon for regular homes to require more financing to buy than you can obtain through the use of a conforming mortgage.
Super High Loan Minimum
Risk Factor
Jumbo loans require a super high loan minimum.
Solution
Jumbo loans don’t start at $1 million dollars. Instead, the minimum amount for a jumbo loan is anything above the conforming loan limit of $647,200.
