Your buying power just leveled up
Your conforming loans just got a little bigger. Starting October 9th, we are expanding our conforming loan amounts to loans up to $750,000. That’s an increase of almost $24,000 from current limits, which capped out at $726,200.
That means you’ll be able to get a larger mortgage for your home. With home prices still stubbornly high over the last year, these updates will help you finance the purchase of a home that falls outside the current conforming loan limits of traditional mortgages.
New, higher limits for our Expanded Loan Amount Conforming Program
Eligible Loan Amounts:
- Loans available between $726,201 and $750,000
Here’s why this matters
Let’s say you’re buying a home for $850,000 and you’re putting in a 10% down payment. That means you’ll need a loan for the remaining $765,000. In most states, this would be called a jumbo loan or a non-conforming loan. Those loans typically have stricter underwriting requirements (i.e., higher credit score requirements, lower Debt-to-Income, lower maximum Loan to Value, etc.) and less favorable pricing options.
With the Expanded Loan Amount Conforming Program, you could get that $850,000 home in conforming terms, not jumbo terms. That means better pricing options and more flexible underwriting requirements.
Find out if you qualify
There are some rules on who can get this loan and what type of home it can be used for. You must be purchasing a one-unit residence that you will use as your primary residence. And you must meet the minimum credit requirements.
