Reduction in FHA loan limits

As of October 1, 2011 the Federal Housing Administration will be reducing the FHA Loan Limits.

The current limits in Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach counties is $417,000.  The limits for these counties will be reduced to $345,000.  This reduction will affect any loan that has not been approved by an FHA Direct Endorsed underwriter.

If you are looking for homes above this price range or even under contract and not yet approved and you are expecting to finance your home with an FHA insured loan, you will be affected by the drop in the FHA loan limit.

Please remember these are loan limits, not limits on the purchase price. Buyers can always make up the difference between the purchase price and the loan amount by increasing your down payment.
