Bloomfield Hills is known for wooded lots, custom homes, Cranbrook and the Bloomfield Hills Schools, and many of its homes sell for well above the conforming loan limit. That makes the choice between a jumbo loan and a larger down payment on a conforming loan one of the first decisions to get right.
Tania also helps Bloomfield Hills homeowners refinance, tap equity for renovations, and finance a move to a smaller home or condo.

Tania matches Bloomfield Hills buyers and homeowners with the program that fits their budget, timeline and goals.

In Michigan, taxable value uncaps when a home is sold, so budget on the new value, not the seller's tax bill.
A Principal Residence Exemption (Form 2368) exempts your home from up to 18 mills of school operating taxes.
A refinance isn't a transfer of ownership, so it doesn't reset your property taxes.
A full pre-approval tells you your price range and makes your offer stronger with Bloomfield Hills sellers.
For 2026, the conforming loan limit for a one-unit home in Oakland County, which includes Bloomfield Hills, is $832,750. A loan above that amount is a jumbo loan. Limits are higher for two- to four-unit properties.
It depends on the program, the loan amount and your credit. Many jumbo loans call for 10% to 20% or more down, and some allow less for well-qualified borrowers. Tania can show you the options for your price range.
Often, yes. If your down payment brings the loan to $832,750 or less, you can use conforming financing. For example, on a $1,000,000 home, 20% down leaves an $800,000 loan, which is under the 2026 conforming limit.
Many jumbo programs look for a credit score of 700 or higher, with the best pricing at higher scores. Lenders also review your debt-to-income ratio and cash reserves.
No. Many homes with a Bloomfield Hills mailing address are in Bloomfield Township. The municipality affects property taxes and some local services, so check it for any home you are considering.
Probably not. In Michigan, a home's taxable value uncaps when ownership transfers, so your property taxes are recalculated after you buy. Budget based on the new taxable value rather than the seller's current bill.
