Jumbo 1 Program Discontinuation

As we’ve said before, at Plaza Home Mortgage^® we are always working to keep things simple for our clients. As such, we will be discontinuing our Jumbo 1 program, effective December 27, 2021. We’re confident that Plaza’s Jumbo AUS 1 and Jumbo AUS 2 will provide eligibility for virtually all scenarios previously offered on Jumbo 1, and there will be no reduction in program coverage or price competitiveness.
