2023 FHFA Limits for Conforming Mortgages by State & County

Current Conforming Loan Limits

On November 29, 2022 the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) raised the 2023 conforming loan limit on single family homes from $647,200 to $726,200 - an increase of $79,000 or 12.21%. That rate is the baseline limit for areas of the country where homes are fairly affordable. In higher-cost areas like San Francisco or New York City the single-family home loan limit can go as high as $1,089,300.

Here is an overview of the 2023 limits based on the number of units in a building. Limits in the third row apply to Alaska, Guam, Virgin Islands, Washington D.C & Hawaii.

Units 1 2 3 4
Continental U.S. Baseline $726,200 $929,850 $1,123,900 $1,396,800
Designiated High-cost Areas $1,089,300 $1,394,775 $1,685,850 $2,095,200
Alaska, Hawaii, Guam & U.S. Virgin Islands $1,089,300 $1,394,775 $1,685,850 $2,095,200

Across the continental United States & other U.S. territories the breakdown of the above limits is as follows.

Limit Counties Info
Low limit 3,071 Includes 2,984 continental counties along with Puerto Rico, American Samoa and the Northern Mariana Islands
In between 57
High limit 103 98 counties plus Washington, D.C., Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands

Loans for amounts above the current conforming rates are considered jumbo mortgages. Jumbo loans typically require a higher credit score & a larger downpayment than conforming loans. It is also quite common for jumbo loans to charge slightly higher interest rates.

The conforming loan limits historically have also applied to other government-backed housing programs.

1

The FHA set the floor at $472,030 while setting their ceiling at $1,089,300. Those FHA loan amounts correspond to 65% of the baseline conforming limit & 100% of the high-cost area conforming limit.

 

2

The U.S Department of Veterans Affairs does not cap VA loan amounts. Historically they used the conforming loan limits to determine the maximium amount of liability they can assume, which means loans above those amounts would typically require a pro-rated cash downpayment from the borrower. The Blue Water Navy Vietnam Veterans Act of 2019 did away with VA loan limit for those who do not have a current outstanding VA loan & have never defaulted on a VA loan.

 

3

The HECM reverse mortgage maximum claim amount is set to $1,089,300, which is the 150% of the baseline conforming mortgage limit.

 

Federal Subsidies Enable Longterm Fixed Rates

The United States federal government subsidizes homeownership to help make homes affordable. One of the means by which they help subsidize homes is through government-sponsored enterprises (GSE) Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac. These companies package & securitize home loans from other loan originators. This creates a bond-like intrument called mortgage backed securities (MBS) which enables institutional investors to invest in the real estate market. This, in turn, add liquidity to the marketplace and lowers mortgage rates.

Fannie Mae. Freddie Mac.

The securitized market enables homeowners to lock in low fixed rates for extend period of time, with the 30-year fixed being the most popular loan option. For your conveniece, here is a table of current fixed mortgage rates in your local area.

In most countries (outside the United States) home loans are usually structured as variable or adjustable rate loans which rise and fall as market conditions change. The benefit of fixed rates is it allows homeowners to build their family budget using a plan for stable payments for an extended period of time while improving price stability across the broader housing market & overall economy. Countries where variable rate loans are more common see far larger shifts in housing prices as interest rates change. For example, in 1997 Hong Kong property prices fell by 70%.

The United States economy is heavily reliant on the consumer and is heavily debt levered. During periods of economic instability in the United States the Federal Reserve buys large quantities of Treasuries and MBS to hold down interest rates and add liquidity to the marketplace. On March 3, 2020 the Federal Reserve Open Market Committee (FMOC) cut the Fed Funds Rate 50 basis points to the range of 1 to 1.25%. On March 16, 2020 the FOMC lowered the Fed Funds Rate another 100 basis points to a range of 0 to 0.25%. In the 4-month period after the COVID-19 crisis hit the Federal Reserve not only slashed the Fed Funds Rate twice to zero but they also expanded their balance sheet by $3 trillion dollars to over $7 trillion. A number of factors have led to 2020 being a record year for mortgage volume with Fannie Mae projecting $4.1 trillion in total loan volume.

  • The FOMC lowered the Fed Funds Rate & yields on other Treasuries fell in the face of the COVID-19 crisis. Mortgage rates also fell sharply (reaching all time lows) dramatically lowering monthly loan payments.
  • Many homeowners took adventage of falling rates to refinance their mortgages. Fannie Mae projected $2.7 trillion of total mortgage volume in 2020 would be refinance loans.
  • Many people who saw social unrest and lockdowns in urban areas and could work from home decided to either move outright or buy a second larger home further away from major cities.
