Confirming Loan Limit Raised to $484,350

The Federal Housing Financing Agency announced the "conforming loan limit" will increase to $484,350.00, effective January 1, 2019. While certain high cost areas (NYC and Washington, D.C.) will see an even higher conforming loan limit of $726,525.00, we'll be using the $484,350.00 limit in the Tampa Bay area. Loans exceeding the conforming loan limit are called "jumbo loans" and typically come with higher interest rates.
