Opinion: <\/span>Jumbo Mortgages Are Haunting the Housing Market and Things Could Get Really Scary<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mortgage underwriting standards have eased considerably in the past couple of years; one of the largest U.S. mortgage originators now offers a jumbo mortgage of up to $1 million with only 10 percent down if you have a FICO score of at least 760.  Borrowers who can scrape up a down payment of between 30 percent and 40 percent might be able to receive up to $3 million. One smaller lender is now offering home buyers a loan as high as $2 million with a FICO score as low as 640.  This score was considered sub-prime during the bubble years in the early 2000s.
