FHA loan limits are a ceiling placed on loans guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA). These limits are based on the national conforming loan limits and can change every year. Current loan limits are in effect until December 31, 2024.
FHA loan limits vary by county and are set based on home prices in each area. After all, a 2,000 square foot home in Des Moines is likely priced much differently than a similar home in San Diego.
This is one of the most common questions borrowers ask. The FHA sets the loan limit floor at 65% of the national conforming loan limit and sets the limit ceiling at 150% of the national conforming loan limit.
The standard FHA loan limit in 2024 is $498,257 for most U.S. counties, an increase from $472,030 in 2023.
