New FHA Loan Limits for Lancaster PA

By

Lancaster PA Real estate, Lancaster FHA HomesSome good news for Lancaster County homebuyers - FHA recently raised their top loan amount quite a bit, to $383,750.  That means that first-time homebuyers can still access the better mortgage rates FHA offers while buying more home.  In fact, $383,750 really is a big number for Lancaster County, PA.  If you're a first-time homebuyer here, you can do quite well for that level of sale price!

Also going up was the two-family property top loan rate, to $491,250.  Again, you can buy a pretty substantial property in Lancaster County for that level of sales price.

Read my recent article on the increasing dominance of FHA financing in the home market here.  I predict we'll see FHA loans in Lancaster increase tremendously throughout this year.

Jeff, with the limitations on alternate financing these days, FHA is going to be increasingly useful for buyers.  The new limits make FHA even more relevant.

Brian - it will be interesting to see how many loans get written this year as a % of total loans in the US.  I bet it'll double.
