Do condos have an LLPA?
Yes, on conforming conventional loans above 60% LTV. The condo LLPA varies by LTV — typically 0.25-0.75 points at higher LTVs. The LLPA reflects the additional risk of condo collateral (project-level concerns) compared to single-family.
What this actually means.
Fannie/Freddie LLPAs include a condo adjustment that scales with LTV. At 80%+ LTV, condo LLPAs can add 0.5-1%+ in equivalent pricing. Below 60% LTV, the condo LLPA may be eliminated. Project-warrantability issues (Florida insurance/reserves concerns since 2022 statutory changes) can compound into additional pricing or denial. Subject to Fannie/Freddie matrices and project review.
Where this can move.
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac LLPA matrices update periodically. Credit, LTV, occupancy, property type, and loan purpose all stack.
