When you need a jumbo loan in Marathon
In Monroe County, a loan above $990,150 — the county's conforming loan limit in our model — is a jumbo loan. The Marathon median of $745,000 is below that line, so jumbo financing mainly applies to the market's higher-priced homes. With 20% down, you can buy up to about $1,237,688 before the loan crosses into jumbo territory.
For a $1,089,165 Marathon purchase with 15% down ($163,375), the jumbo loan is about $925,790 and principal and interest run near $5,852 a month in our model, before taxes, insurance and HOA dues.
