1 These are the maximum potential loan limits for designated high-cost areas. Actual loan limits are established for each county (or equivalent) and the loan limits for specific high-cost areas may be lower. The original principal balance of a mortgage must not exceed the maximum loan limit for the specific area in which the mortgaged premises is located. For specific loan limits for each high-cost area, as released by the Federal Housing Finance Agency, visit http://www.fhfa.gov/webfiles/22760/FullCountyLoanLimitList2012_HERA-BASED_FINAL_Z.xls |
