Hawaii Jumbo Loan FAQs

What is the jumbo loan limit in Hawaii?

Hawaii conforming limits reach $1,249,125 for 2026—the highest in the nation ($1,299,500 in Maui County). Loans above this threshold require jumbo financing, which is common given Hawaii median prices.

What credit score do I need for a Hawaii jumbo loan?

Most Hawaii jumbo programs require 700+ credit scores, with optimal pricing at 740+. Some programs accept 680 with compensating factors like larger down payments or significant reserves.

How much down payment for a Hawaii jumbo mortgage?

Hawaii jumbo loans typically require 10-20% down. On a $2M Honolulu property, expect $200,000-$400,000 minimum down payment. Some programs offer 10% down up to $2M.

Are jumbo rates higher than conforming loans?

Historically yes, but the gap has narrowed significantly. Current jumbo rates often compete closely with conforming rates, especially for well-qualified borrowers with 740+ scores and 20%+ down.
