Home prices force loan limits higher
The Federal Housing Administration announced plans on Thursday to increase loan limits in 2017, announcing a significant jump in counties set to increase compared to last year.
Due to home price increases, the FHA said that most areas in the country will see a slight increase in loan limits in 2017.
These loan limits are effective for case numbers assigned on or after Jan. 1, 2017, and will remain in effect through the end of the year.
