New 2026 Loan Limits = More Buying Power

2026 Mortgage Loan Limits Are OUT — and Your Buyers Just Leveled Up

These new numbers open fresh doors for your clients (and fresh closings for you). Let's keep this tight, useful, and maybe even a little fun. SWEAT NEEDED

New Conventional Limit (1-Unit): $832,750

• 3% down → Buy up to ~$858,467

• 5% down → Buy up to ~$876,579

• If your buyer says, "We want to stay under $850k"

• You can now confidently reply: "Good news... so do the loan limits."

FHA ESTIMATE

FHA isn't official yet, but history says it's always 65% of conventional.

That lands at:

Estimated FHA 2026 Limit: $541,287

Great news for buyers who need flexible guidelines and low stress.

WHY THIS MATTERS TO YOU

• More buyers qualify for more homes.

• Move borderline jumbo buyers back into conventional.

• Buyers who paused in 2025 now have new options.

• More listings qualify for low-down-payment programs.

Translation: Your buyer pool just got a power-up.

TALKING POINTS FOR SHOWINGS

Use these lines:

• "Good news — this home now qualifies for 3% down even with the new 2026 limits."

• "Your budget actually expanded this year. Let's rerun the numbers."

• "FHA just opened the door to the mid-$500Ks for a ton of buyers."

• "This price point used to be jumbo. Now it's conventional territory."
