      FHFA Loan Limits

      The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) today announced the conforming loan limit values (CLLs) for mortgages acquired by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac (the Enterprises) in 2025.  In most of the United States, the 2025 CLL value for one-unit properties will be $806,500, an increase of $39,950 (or 5.2 percent) from 2024. 

      High-Cost Areas

      For areas in which 115 percent of the local median home value exceeds the baseline conforming loan limit value, the applicable loan limit will be higher than the baseline loan limit.  HERA establishes the high-cost area limit in those areas as a multiple of the area median home value, while setting the ceiling at 150 percent of the baseline limit.  Median home values generally increased in high-cost areas in 2024, which increased their CLL values.  The new ceiling loan limit for one-unit properties will be $1,209,750, which is 150 percent of $806,500.
