What is a mortgage loan limit?
Mortgage loan limits are the upper boundaries for how much a home buyer can borrow on a mortgage. Loan limits vary by county and home type.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) sets mortgage loan limits for conforming mortgages and the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) sets loan limits for FHA mortgages. In Cook County, the 2023 conforming mortgage loan limit for a 1-unit home is $726,200. The 2023 FHA mortgage loan limit for a 1-unit home is $472,030.
Conforming and FHA mortgage loan limits change annually to reflect changes in local and national home values. Loans that exceed conforming loan limit sizes are commonly called jumbo mortgages. As of 2023, there are no mortgage loan limits for VA loans or USDA loans.
