Loan Limits
Do FHA limits change every year?
Short answer
Yes. HUD updates FHA loan limits annually, typically effective January 1, based on the prior year's home-price data.
Plain-English explanation
Higher-cost counties move along with the FHFA conforming-limit changes. Lower-cost counties move based on FHA's floor formula. Always verify before structuring an offer.
What can change the answer?
FHA county loan limits update annually. Confirm the current limit on the official HUD lookup before structuring an offer.
