Loan Limits
For 2026, the conforming loan limit for a single-family home is $766,550 in most areas — and up to $1,149,825 in designated high-cost counties. Loans above those caps are jumbo mortgages. Ryan and Steve confirm the exact limit for your county and purchase price before you shop.
Conforming limits decide whether a conventional loan can be sold to Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac — which usually means more competitive pricing than jumbo.
These figures are the national baseline and ceiling for one-unit homes. Your county may sit anywhere in that range — and multi-unit properties have higher caps.
Using last year’s limit or the wrong county is a common way to mis-size a pre-approval.
Going over the conforming ceiling does not end your search — it changes the financing mix.
