What do the 2022 FHA Loan Limits mean for you?
This means that if you are buying a home using an FHA loan, you may be able to purchase a house up to $435,900 with only a 3.5% down payment. Even if you are not a homebuyer, you will be able to refinance a house up to that value with 3.5% equity.
In high-cost areas, like several counties in California, you will be able to buy a home up to $1,006,000 with only a 3.5% down payment. This is assuming you qualify on all other loan parameters and requirements.
These limits/ceilings are for 1-unit properties like Single Family Residences, Townhomes, and Condominiums. If you’re buying a multi-unit home, the loan amounts can be much higher as you can see from the table above.
