Hi "Movinback"....I work with several brokers who I know can help you...would like to chat with you about what your needs are and the style you prefer before blindly offering names & numbers. Local representation is key and makes such a difference in securing a home and getting an offer accepted...especially in these times when there are so many short sale opportunities. Qualification for super jumbo, new rules re; HVCC & appraising,.etc... will be discussed but to answer your question...no, it is not totally dead...Many high end homes have bindered or gone to pending status in the past few weeks...I know I do not have to tell you that the rates are low, prices down and inventory high...this could very well be considered the perfect storm. Call me on my cell at 203-257-6994 or visit my site at http://www.vanderblue.com
I wish you the very best wherever you end up...look forward to seeing you around Fairfield County!
all the best, Julie

Hello. Super Jumbo financing is still available, it is just harder to obtain and more expensive. You need to speak with a Mortgage Consultant who is very knowledgeable in this area and has several sources of financing to be able to offer you the best programs and interest rates available. When you contact a mortgage professional, make sure you explain exactly what you are trying to do, give accurate answers to their questions, and don't be afraid to probe them for questions. This is a very big investment and you should be very comfortable with the process as you proceed. Get any estimates/quotes in writing and examine all fees for the specific loan program you are interested in. You should request a "Good Faith Estimate" and a "Truth in Lending" form from them. These will list the interest rate you are being quoted, the costs to close the loan, and the annual percentage rate. With this information you can compare that program to other programs and companies. Good luck with your fianancing!
