FHA Loan Limits Restored By Congress
On 17th November 2011, FHA loan limits have been restored to their previous limits by the U.S. House and Senate. Now the limits will be 125% of the median home price which was 115% earlier. According to an estimate by NAR, several hundred counties where FHA loan limits fell at the end of September will now rise back up to the previous level. These new loan limits will provide help, liquidity and stability to the buyers.
It is expected that the President Obama will soon sign this legislation. These limits will be effected as soon as President Obama signs the bill. After that, FHA will send a mortgagee letter to the approved lenders. The mortgagee letter will contain a list that’s been updated to reflect the new limits. The restored loan limits are in a broad-based bill that includes funding for a wide variety of federal operations and programs. It may take a couple of weeks for FHA to update the database and release the mortgagee letter.
The NFIP (National Flood Insurance Program) has also been extended by this funding bill till December 16 in order to allow lawmakers time to consider long-term authorization of that program, which is an NAR priority.
