A 'jumbo loan' in Arizona is a mortgage that:

AHas a loan term exceeding 30 years, disqualifying it from Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac purchase under secondary market qualified mortgage guidelines
BExceeds the conforming loan limits set by FHFA and cannot be purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie MacCorrect
CHas an adjustable interest rate by definition, since fixed-rate loans above the conforming limit are classified as conventional fixed regardless of their balance
DRequires no down payment from a qualified borrower, since private lenders who hold jumbo loans in portfolio are not bound by Fannie Mae's minimum down payment rules

Why Exceeds the conforming loan limits set by FHFA and cannot be purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac Is Correct

Answer B: Exceeds the conforming loan limits set by FHFA and cannot be purchased by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac

A jumbo loan exceeds the conforming loan limits established by FHFA (varies by area, typically $766,550 in most Arizona counties in 2024). Since it doesn't conform, it cannot be sold to Fannie/Freddie and typically has stricter requirements.
