FHA increased the loan limits in 2008, and then lowered them January 1, 2009 and THEN raised them back UP on February 24, 2009!  WOW!

What's the New Limit?So, if you are considering a purchase in NC, you might want to check out the NEW FHA Loan Limit for the County you are interested in!

Wake County/ Johnston County Limit $295,000

Durham County/Orange County Limit $334,650

New Hanover County/ Brunswick County / Pender County  $303,750

Onslow County $306,250

Guilford County /Forsyth County $271,050

Mecklenburg County/Union County/ Cabarrus County $303,750

Iredell County $271,050

Buncombe County $303,750

FHA loans do not have a limit on the amount of income your family earns (like USDA does) and they allow you to receive a gift for your downpayment!  FHA Guidelines is a bit more forgiving when it comes to credit, and you can purchase a home with a foreclosure or bankruptcy in your credit history!

If you are interested in purchasing property in a NC county I didn't list - please click here to check the new limit in your area!  Don't forget, you might qualify for an $8,000 check from the new stimulus plan if you purchase property this year!  Please read this for more details on how to qualify for the Government's Tax Credit!!

Thanks for the info, Eleanor!  Do you have the limits for Alamance, Caswell, Chatham and Randolph counties?  Generous limits combined with the tax credit may spur some decent activity!

**Update - I just re-read the post and clicked on the link to look up that info.  I appreciate all the effort you put into sharing such valuable info!**

Carol!  Glad you found the information you need!  You know those counties (Alamance, Caswell, Chatham and Randolph) also have MANY areas that qualify for USDA 100% home loans!  It's a GREAT time to buy!

Terry!  We have MANY properties in the $300,000 range that now qualify for FHA financing!  Woo Hoo!
