New FHA loan limits were recently announced, which is good news for home buyers and those looking to refinance their current loans. If you're new to loan limits and not sure why this is exciting news, here is a quick primer:
When you apply for an FHA loan, there's a limit on how much you can borrow before it's considered a jumbo loan, disqualifying you from all the FHA benefits. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) recently increased the loan limits on FHA loans for most of the U.S., which is an excellent thing for home buying hopefuls across the country.
The conventional loans that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac back have a standard loan limit. VA loan limits follow the same guidelines, but FHA loan limits are more complicated.
That's because the FHA uses two factors to define their lending limits. The first factor is the area you live in, and the other is the type of property you're purchasing. It typically works out that if you live in a low-cost area, the "floor" will be lower. In contrast, high-cost areas have a higher "ceiling."
The FHA defines high-cost areas by averaging the income level and the average cost to purchase a property. They also take into consideration the market demand.
The lending limits also differ depending on the type of property. A two-unit property, for example, will have a higher limit than a single-family home.
The FHA loan limits for 2021 range from $356,362– $822,375. However, keep in mind that ceiling amounts vary by county. For example, the max loan amount on a single-family home in a low-cost county is $356,362, while the max in a high-cost county is $822,375.
