UPDATE!
Government Announces Conforming Loan Limit Increases
The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight (OFHEO) today announced
it has temporarily increased limits on conforming loans offered by government-sponsored
enterprises, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, from $417,000 to as high as
$729,750 in fourteen counties in California for loans originated between
July 1, 2007 and Dec. 31, 2008. Fannie and Freddie are reported to be
working out new underwriting standards and expect to begin offering
the new loans soon.
Also, on Wednesday, the government raised the conforming loan limit
for mortgages guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration, and
has begun offering the maximum limit of $729,750 for 14 California counties,
up from $362,790, for loans originated between now and Dec. 31, 2008.
The Fed’s economic stimulus package approved earlier this year
called for temporary increases on conforming and FHA loan limits to
allow troubled borrowers to refinance out of sub-prime loans and make
it easier for many new buyers to qualify for mortgages in high-cost
areas, particularly in California where home prices remain among the
highest in the nation.
