Conforming Loan Limits for 2008 left unchanged

By
Mortgage and Lending with Absolute Mortgage

With the state of our markets it suprises me that they left the loan limits alone.  Here in Washington it is very easy to surpass the loan limits and the underwriting for Jumbos is more strict.  Well atleast the rates are great right now with a 30 yr fixed just below 6% and 100% loan at 6.5%.  Good Luck to all.

I'm suprised they didn't drop it.  With all the pending trouble maybe they wanted the wiggle room to operate.  No telling what goes on behind those closed doors.
