Q: What is the FHA loan limit?
A: FHA loan limits vary throughout the country. FHA Maximum Loan Amounts are set by HUD for every county in the United States. Maximum loan amounts vary from one county to another.
Because these maximums are linked to the conforming loan limit and average area home prices, FHA loan limits are periodically subject to change.
