Conforming Loan Limits 2014

Conforming Loan Limits Remain the Same

Realtors across the country welcomed news from the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) last week that current conforming loan limits will remain in effect until further notice. Mortgage and real estate professionals have been debating how an increase might affect the market for months. If the FHFA would have reduced the loan limits for Fannie and Freddie loans, borrowers might have been forced into higher-priced loans, aka jumbo loans, which contain higher rates and higher associated fees.

Conforming Loan Limits

A conforming loan limit is the maximum size for loans that can be purchased by government-sponsored enterprises Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac. Maximum conforming loan limits for mortgages acquired by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac will remain at $417,000 for one-unit properties in most areas of the country.

High-Cost Area Limit Increases

2014 high-cost area loan limits have increased for 18 counties due to a high-cost area adustment or moving into a high-cost area. The high-cost area loan limits are established for each county and published on Fannie Mae’s website here.
