What is a Conforming Loan Limit?

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are restricted by law to purchasing single-family mortgages with origination balances below a specific amount, known as the “conforming loan limit.” Loans above this limit are known as jumbo loans.

Loan limits for mortgages originated in 2009 are set under the provisions of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Seattle's conforming loan limit for a single unit home can be up to $567,500*.

*always check with your lender for individual circumstances
