The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced the new maximum conforming loan limits for 2025, but what does that mean for you?

It means you have more home purchasing power than you think. Not only that, if your loan is below the FHFA’s maximum limit, you could see lower interest rates.

Here’s how it looks for 2025:

1 unit: $806,500
2 units: $1,032,650
3 units: $1,248,150
4 units: $1,551,250

Curious about how this could impact your homebuying plans? Let’s talk!
