can someone here confirm that the new amount for jumbo conforming is 749k from 729k? I'm trying to get a loan, make 200k a year, putting 27% down, with a 690 credit score and nobody will finance me. one person even said my sub 700 score is subprime!

You should consider yourself lucky nobody let's you make a mistake!
 
When we were loan shopping a few months back I noticed that each lender had a different number for distinguishing between prime and subprime. I think Countrywide was setting theirs at 700 and B of A was 680. They take your middle score. I recall someone posting that B of A loans sucked, but twice now we've found their no fee mortgage plus the best deal out there and they were really easy to work with.

BofA's No Fee Mortgage Program is pretty good, especially if the loan amount is low ($250k or lower). Although their rate is somewhat higher than other lenders, they do not charge you an garbage fees, pay for the appraisal, pay for the title/escrow/closing costs, and on top of that they actually pay for the PMI if your loan is over 80% LTV. So when you take all those items that they pay for, the actually rate gets better and better as your loan amount goes down.
