The Government Housing Authority sets the maximum Mortgage Limit for FHA loans that vary by state and region. In some states, you may be able to get financing with the loan amount up to $ 729,750 with a down payment of 3.5 percent. The conventional financing for a loan that Fannie Mae or Freddie Macintosh can buy today is $ 625,000.

On December 7, 2017, the Government Lodging Organization (FHA) announced a change to the 2018 loan limit for FHA Forward and FHA-insured Home Value Change Home loans (HECM).
The borrowing limit will increase for FHA Forward loans in almost every region across the country, due to rising home values. There is no area with maximum rate within the maximum limit of the loan. The loan limit for Mortgage Conversion House Equity (HECM), which is an FHA reversed mortgage is also increasing.
