Conventional Loan Limits for 2010 to Remain at $417,000

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced November 12, 2009 that the conforming loan limit will remain $417,000 for 2010 for most areas in the U.S. except specified higher limits in certain cities and counties which does not include any city or county in Wisconsin or Illinois. The conforming loan limit is the maximum size of loans that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can purchase in 2010.

Following the provisions of HERA, FHFA has set loan limits for “high-cost” areas in 2010. These limits are set equal to 115 percent of local median house prices and cannot exceed 150 percent of the standard limit, which is $625,500 for one-unit homes in the continental U.S.

In addition, below is a list showing only those areas where 2010 loan limits are set by the high-cost area provisions in HERA. The 2010 high cost limits also remained at the 2009 levels. These areas have loan limits above $417,000 for one-unit properties in the continental U.S. and above $625,500 for properties in Alaska , Hawaii , Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands. These high cost limits are set to expire on December 31, 2010.
