These loan limits apply to single-unit properties in most areas. Because real estate values can vary significantly based on location, loan limits may be increased for higher cost of living areas. This increase provide buyers with more flexibility in their home search, allowing them to find the location that best suits their preferences.

Increased loan limits also make larger loans more accessible, assisting homeowners whose loans were once considered “JUMBO,” or above the previous conforming loan limit, to refinance their mortgage for a lower rate and possibly even qualify to eliminate their mortgage insurance.

How Does This Impact Your Purchasing Power?

“Homebuyers can take advantage of higher loan limits, helping them to buy a home sooner than they thought possible,” says FBC Mortgage Area Manager Jared Varitek. “By leveraging these increased limits, aspiring homebuyers can maximize their buying potential and make their dream home a reality.”
