More great news! The Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announced loan limits will increase in over 3,000 counties in 2018. The new basic standard loan limit is now $294,515 (up more than $18,000.) However, in many areas of the country, the loan limit is even higher because it is based on the median house price in the county. Because limits vary by the median price in each county, use this link to check county limits where you live now or want to move: https://entp.hud.gov/idapp/html/hicostlook.cfm.
