Conforming Loan Limits Increased for 2020
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced conforming loan limits for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac for 2020.
What Are Conforming Loans?
Conforming loans are mortgages that are equal to or less than the dollar amount established by the conforming loan limit set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) and meet the funding criteria of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. Conforming loans are advantageous due to the low-interest rates affixed to them (for borrowers with excellent credit).
