Congress failed to extend the FHA and GSE Loan Limits. On October 1, those limits will decline in 669 counties in 42 states. The new limits will now be equal to 115% of median home price (down from 125%), and the high cost gap will fall from $729,750 to $625,500. NAR has a guide available to determine the new loan limits and it is available on REALTOR.org:
