Conventional Loans in Southlake, TX

I'm Bond Peter Njoku (NMLS #2670329), your Southlake mortgage loan officer. Southlake is among DFW's most prestigious markets — Carroll ISD, Town Square retail, and luxury homes priced $700,000–$2M+. The conforming loan limit is $806,500; anything above that is jumbo territory. For Southlake buyers, conventional covers the lower end of the market and VA (for veterans) is available with no loan limit. I'll match you to the right program for your target price.

Understanding conforming vs. jumbo in Southlake's market

Southlake's price range goes well beyond conventional's $806,500 conforming limit. Here's how to think about financing options by price range:

  • Under $806,500: conventional financing available (620+ credit, 5–20% down)
  • Over $806,500: jumbo financing (typically 720+ credit, 15–20% down)
  • Veterans: VA loans have no loan limit — $0 down regardless of price
  • FHA max: $524,225 — covers very little of Southlake's market
  • Conventional PMI: best rates at 740+ credit, cancels at 78% LTV

Most Southlake buyers I work with are either targeting the $600,000–$806,500 conforming range with conventional, or are veterans leveraging VA's no-limit benefit. I'll assess your target price and recommend the right program.

Buying near or at the $806,500 conforming limit — the entry tier for Southlake — puts you in conventional territory with Fannie/Freddie pricing. At 740+ credit and 10–20% down, rates and PMI are very competitive. Going above $806,500 crosses into jumbo, which typically requires higher reserves and slightly different underwriting. I'll advise on the best structure for your specific purchase price.
