Conforming Loan Level Increases to $766,550

Conforming Loan Level Increases to $766,550

Updated – 02/22/24

With an ever-changing real estate market, the Federal Housing Finance Agency has once again increased Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac’s loan limits, by offering conforming loans up to $766,550 for a single-family home in the Central Valley. What does this mean? This new limit means some qualifying borrowers may be able to qualify for conventional pricing with lower interest rates rather than relying on a jumbo mortgage, which typically have more stringent criteria. Bottom line, the increase to the maximum conforming loan amount gives purchasers and refinance borrowers expanded access to mortgage credit at lower rates. In terms of raw dollars, this is the biggest leap in the conforming loan limit history, bumping it by more than $75,000.

Here at De Young Mortgage, we see this as an opportunity to assist more clients with a conventional mortgage at lower interest rate. Let one of our dedicated Loan Officer professionals review your income, savings, liquid assets and debt situation then thoroughly review the various mortgage rates and options available to you.

Conventional Mortgage Loans

A Conventional mortgage loan is a home loan that conforms to the loan limits set by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), but is not guaranteed or insured by a federal government agency. If you have a strong credit score and intend to make a sizeable down payment on your home, this loan may offer a better rate, more flexibility and fewer provisions when compared to other loans!

The new Conventional mortgage lending limit for a single-family home in Fresno County is $453,100!

FHA Mortgage Loans

FHA Mortgage Loans

An FHA mortgage loan is a type of home loan backed and insured by the Federal Housing Administration. These loans have more lenient credit score and down payment requirements, designed to help low to moderate income homebuyers realize their dream of home ownership. The home of your dreams may not be far from reach with an FHA loan from De Young Mortgage!

The new FHA mortgage lending limit for a single-family home in Fresno County is $294,515!
