These limits apply to single-unit properties in most areas. Loan limits may be increased in higher cost of living areas, like Hawaii and Alaska, as well as counties in certain states.
These new limits help to boost homebuyer purchasing power, making larger loans more accessible in the current market. This can also assist homeowners whose loans were once considered “JUMBO,” or above the previous conforming loan limit, refinance their mortgage to obtain a lower rate and possibly even qualify to eliminate their mortgage insurance.
How Does This Impact Your Purchasing Power?
“The increase in the FHA base loan amount is going to empower first-time home buyers, or buyers looking to do their first move-up home purchase, to participate in a more competitive housing market,” says FBC Mortgage Regional Manager Jay Zerquera. “They are able to put down as little as 3.5% for a down payment, allowing them to compete with other offers without depleting their savings.”
In certain areas, real estate values can vary significantly based on location. “A higher loan limit provides buyers with the flexibility to explore homes in different neighborhoods or regions, allowing them to choose a location that aligns with their lifestyle and preferences,” says FBC Mortgage’s Scott Stinson.
