Changes in Conforming Loan Limits

Source: Informa Research Services

As part of the Economic Stimulus Act of 2008, Fannie Mae’s limit on conforming loans has been temporarily raised from $417,000 to $729,750, effective until December 31, 2008 in certain high cost metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). The limits on these new “jumbo-conforming” mortgage loans differ from area to area and have been based on the MSA’s median home price, with the upper limit capped at $729,750. If the median home price is less than $417,000, the conforming loan limit remains unchanged.

Please note that not all lenders will automatically raise their conforming loan limits. Inquiring directly with each lender is the best way to ensure you are assuming the correct conforming loan limit for your situation. Return to the rate tables.
