House leaders have struck a deal with the White House to increase Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac loan limits from $417,000 to a maximum of $730,000 during negotiations on a $150 billion economic stimulus package.  The stimulus package, which Congress is expected to pass in a few weeks, also increases the Federal Housing Administration loan limit permanently. This increase reflects an agreement between the House and Senate banking committee chairmen to increase the FHA and GSE loan limits to 125% of median area home prices, with a $730,000 cap.Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson
