A $750,000 loan is NOT a jumbo loan in 2026 in most US counties. The 2026 conforming limit is $766,550 standard and $1,149,825 in high-cost areas.

However, if your loan exceeds $766,550 even by $1, you enter jumbo territory and face higher rates and stricter qualification standards (720+ credit score, larger reserves).
