Q:  What does this new "Economic Stimulus Act" mean for the Housing Market?

A:  One of the key features of this act was to raise new loan limits for FHA Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac conforming loans.  Raised limits is a solution to the current housing market slow down.   The new limit provides for raised loan limits to 125% of the HUD published  median prices, not to exceed $729,950.   This new limit will stimulate lower interest rates in the mortgage market - the ultimate outcome will help thousands of new home buyers and those who wish to re finance to prevent foreclosure.
