New FHA Loan Limits

Los Angeles County and Orange County FHA loan limits are rising January 1, 2009.  What does that mean to todays home buyers?  This means that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loans remain high through the end of 2008, buyers can qualify for higher loans on homes closing prior to the end of this year.  Once the New Year rolls around buyers will have less buying power due to the lower loan limits.  This is true for all residential loans, including; homes, condos and residential investment property under 4 units. 

Whats the big deal?  Lower maximums loan amounts means decreased buying power. 

Today is November 16, 2008.  It is still possible to find and close on a home or condo before the new lower loan limits take effect.  If you have been thinking about buying, were contemplating putting that purchase off until after the New Year and are in the price range that would be affected by the new lower FHA loan limits, you might want to consider getting out there right now while you can still take advantage of the higher FHA loan limits.  Remember, your escrow must close prior to 12/31/2008.
