State Limits for VA and FHA Construction Loans
The FHA has established maximum loan amounts that they are able to insure. These loan limits are calculated and updated annually, and are influenced by the conventional loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The type of home being built, such as single-family or duplex, can also affect these numbers. VA limits are set by lenders.
Starting in 2020, loan limits no longer apply to new VA Loans. The Department of Veterans Affairs (commonly referred to as the VA) can now back larger loans than previous allowed. This change doesn't mean that you have unlimited borrowing power. Your lender will still have credit requirements that you need to meet as well as maximum loan amounts based on their own standards. The bottom line is that it should be easier for veterans to get zero down payment loans nationwide, regardless of home prices.
More information is available at the VA website.
The FHA has a maximum loan amount that it will insure, which is known as the FHA lending limit. These loan limits are calculated and updated annually and are influenced by the conventional loan limits set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The type of home, such as single-family or duplex, can also affect these numbers. For 2024, the FHA floor was set at $498,257 for single-family home loans. Also, for 2024, the FHA ceiling was set at $1,149,825 for single-family home loans. This represents the highest amount that a borrower can get through the FHA loan program.
