Alpine Mortgage Broker — Jumbo Loans Sized to Alpine Prices

Jumbo Financing

Jumbo Loans Through an Alpine Mortgage Broker

Jumbo starts at a 660 score with us. That is the floor to be considered at all. The score that gets you a given down payment rises with the loan amount, and above $2 million the maximum loan-to-value starts to come down too. Read each row as covering loans up to that amount:

A score between 660 and those figures still has a route, usually with more money down than the row shows. The underwriter will also want reserves: on a loan over $2 million, plan on six months of payments in the bank after closing, and twelve over $3 million. Over $2 million there are two appraisals, and on a one-of-a-kind house in Alpine two appraisers do not always land in the same place. Our New Jersey jumbo loan page covers the full program.

Property Taxes

Alpine Property Taxes and Your Debt Ratio

The average Alpine property tax bill in 2025 was $23,291, according to the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs. The Bergen County average was $13,992. That Alpine figure works out to about $1,940 a month in escrow before you pay a dollar of principal or interest, and the underwriter counts all of it in your debt ratio. Jumbo allows up to 50% of your income for all your debts, and 45% once you borrow more than 85% of the price.

The bill on the house you want can be well above or below the town average, so we work from the actual tax record on that address. Pull it early and you know whether the house fits your ratio before the inspection, not after.

Income Documentation

Self-Employed? An Alpine Mortgage Broker Has Another Route

If you own a business, your tax returns may show far less income than the business actually earns. Bank statement loans qualify you on twelve to twenty-four months of deposits instead, from a 600 score, with 10% down open at 700 and above on loans up to $1.5 million. Our Bergen County bank statement guide walks through how the income is calculated.

Buyers with large savings or investment accounts but little regular income can qualify on the assets themselves. The asset-based mortgage starts at a 600 score with 20% down. If you would rather not document income at all, see our no income verification mortgage for Bergen County.

Moving Within Alpine

Selling One Home to Buy Another

If you are selling a house to buy the next one, the transfer fee on your sale matters to your down payment. Since July 10, 2025 New Jersey’s fee on sales over $1 million, often called the mansion tax, is paid by the seller, not the buyer. It is a percentage of the whole price: 1% up to $2 million, 2% up to $2.5 million, 2.5% up to $3 million, 3% up to $3.5 million and 3.5% above that. On an Alpine sale that can be a six-figure line on your closing statement, and it comes out of the proceeds you were planning to put down. The New Jersey Treasury notice sets out the rates.

Tell us what you expect to net from the sale and we will size the new loan from that number, not from the sale price.
