The conforming loan limits for loans funded by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae now have temporary new limits.
In the past, buyers who needed a loan larger than the conforming limit (i.e., the JUMBO loan) of $417,000 paid a higher interest rate. For many, the significant increase in the monthly payment was enough to keep them out of the buying market, especially in areas like Carlsbad (and San Diego in general) where median home prices generally exceed this limit.
The new limits, in place for loan that originated between July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2008, are $697,500 for a 1-unit dwelling, and up to $1,341,350 for a 4-unit property.
These changes are expected to bring more buyers into the pricey Carlsbad and San Diego housing markets, and coupled with the declines in prices we have seen in the last few years, increase the affordability level for many.
