Conforming Loans
Conforming loans typically refer to loan amounts that conform to government service standards as determined by Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. These two government agencies, set up in the early 1940's, were established to help people finance new homes. The Conforming loan limit is $417,000 for single family homes. However, not all conforming loans are serviced by these government agencies. Below are the current conforming loan limits for 1-4 unit/condos, primary residences, and second homes:
- 1-unit: Up to $417,000
- 2-unit: $533,850
- 3-unit: $645,300
- 4-unit: $801,950
