Fannie Mae issued their confimation that the current loan limits of 2010 will continue through 2011 with certain "high cost areas", like Seattle, Bellevue, Everett or Tacoma, retaining the temporary high balance loan limits for loans originated through September 30, 2011.
High Balance loans are set to roll back to lower limits previously set with loans originated October 1, 2010. For the great Seattle area, that means that loan amounts over $506,000 will be considered non-conforming (jumbo rates and underwriting guidelines) for a single family dwelling. I'll be sure to write more about this as that time approaches. Click here for loan limits effective October 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 in Washington.
