What You Need to Know About the 2025 Conforming Loan Limits
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) has announced the new conforming loan limits for 2025, and it’s great news for anyone looking to finance their dream home with a conventional loan. These updates reflect the growing housing market and ensure more opportunities for you to access competitive loan options. Let’s break down what this means and how it can benefit you.
What Are Conforming Loan Limits?
Conforming loan limits are the maximum loan amounts eligible for purchase by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. These limits vary based on the number of units in a property and whether the home is located in a high-cost area. Essentially, they determine the size of the loan that qualifies for conventional financing.
The 2025 Loan Limits at a Glance
For 2025, the baseline loan limits have increased, making it easier for you to borrow more under conventional loan terms. Here are the new limits:
Why This Matters to You
With these higher limits, you may be able to:
- Purchase a larger home or one in a more competitive market without needing a jumbo loan.
- Refinance a high-cost mortgage into a conforming loan with potentially better terms.
- Take advantage of lower down payment options available with conventional loans.
These loan limits are effective for loans delivered to Fannie Mae starting January 1, 2025. Loans originated before this date may still qualify, provided they meet the 2025 limits upon delivery, so check with your lender to help you with the details.
