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.
