Key Advantages

Why conventional mortgages stand out

Keep your cash where it matters.

Every dollar saved on program fees can go into your home, your furnishings, or the savings that help you sleep at night.

PMI that knows when to leave.

Private mortgage insurance is not permanent. With a conventional loan, it drops once you build enough equity, freeing cash for what matters.

Reward for the work you’ve done.

Strong credit pays off here with better terms, lower costs, and more control than a one size mortgage.

Freedom to choose the home you want.

Conventional guidelines give you flexibility to buy the property that fits your life, not just your loan.

Bought in Salt Lake City with Abigail at Oxford and every part of the conventional purchase exceeded expectations. Responsive communication, honest advice, competitive rate, and a closing that happened exactly when they said. Abigail set a standard I'll measure every future lender against.

Outgrew our starter home and needed more space. Abigail at Oxford handled the conventional purchase on our new Kansas City place while we navigated selling the old one. Timing was tight and Abigail made sure the lending side never caused a delay. Upgraded our home and our lender.

We had 10% saved and Angellise at Oxford showed us the conventional option still made more sense than FHA for our Seattle purchase. Yes there's PMI for now, but Angellise explained it drops off once we hit 80% equity. Lower total cost over time. Angellise played the long game for us.

Good credit score and Bailey at Oxford got us a rate that reflected it. Conventional purchase in Minneapolis with terms that made us feel like the years of responsible borrowing actually counted for something. Bailey rewarded our discipline with an outstanding rate.

We shopped three lenders for our Raleigh purchase. Angellise at Oxford beat both other quotes on a conventional loan. Better rate, lower fees, and the communication was in a different league. Choosing Oxford was the easiest decision in the entire home buying process.

First time buyer but we came prepared. Had our down payment saved and credit in good shape. Angellise at Oxford matched our preparation with an efficient conventional purchase in Indianapolis. Great rate, clear process, and we felt like Angellise respected the work we'd put in to get here.

Get Your Mortgage Answers
Ask a Mortgage Expert
What is a conventional loan and why do buyers choose it?

A Conventional Loan is a traditional mortgage not backed by the government, which gives buyers more flexibility in how they qualify and repay. Many choose a conventional mortgage for predictable payments, competitive interest rates, and the option to remove PMI once enough equity is built.

What credit score do I need for a conventional loan?

Most lenders require a credit score of at least 620 for a conventional loan, and higher scores can unlock better rates. A strong credit history shows lenders you are reliable, which often results in lower monthly payments over the life of your conventional mortgage.

How much down payment is required for a conventional loan?

A conventional loan usually requires at least 3 to 5 percent down, though putting 20 percent down allows you to avoid PMI. Flexible down payment options make conventional mortgages accessible while rewarding buyers who save more with long term savings and lower costs.

Does a conventional loan require private mortgage insurance (PMI)?

Yes, most conventional loans require PMI if your down payment is under 20 percent. The good news is that PMI on a conventional mortgage can be removed once you build enough equity, unlike FHA loans where mortgage insurance often lasts for the life of the loan.

Can I refinance with a conventional loan?

Yes. A conventional loan can be refinanced to lower your rate, shorten your term, or tap into home equity. A conventional refinance gives you flexibility to adjust your mortgage as your financial goals change.

What types of homes qualify for a conventional loan?

A conventional loan can be used for single family homes, condos, townhomes, and even certain multi unit properties. Conventional mortgage guidelines often make it easier to qualify for the property you want compared to other loan programs.

Is a conventional loan better than FHA or VA?

A conventional loan is often the best choice for buyers with higher credit scores and larger savings, since it can offer lower long term costs. FHA and VA loans may be better for buyers with limited credit or no down payment. The right option depends on your financial goals and how you want to manage monthly payments.

Can I get a jumbo loan through a conventional loan?

Yes. A conventional loan includes jumbo loan options for homes that exceed standard loan limits. Jumbo conventional mortgages offer competitive rates and straightforward terms without requiring multiple loans to cover the purchase price.

Who is a conventional loan best suited for?

A conventional loan is best for buyers with steady income, good credit, and some savings for a down payment. This type of mortgage rewards preparation by offering lower long term costs, flexible terms, and the chance to remove PMI once enough equity is built.

How fast can I close with a conventional loan?

With a conventional loan, you can close in as little as 14 days when all documentation is prepared before the process begins. Having paperwork ready allows the lender to move quickly, giving you a faster path from offer to keys.
