The previous floor was $200,160 based on 48% of Freddie Mac loan limits.
HUD FHA has 30 days after enactment to define the Area Median Prices (AMP), and publish the new loan limits.
The new limits will be the lesser of 125% of the AMP or $729,750 which is 175% of 2008 Freddie Mac limits.
All low median loan limits will go to $271,050. The areas with high AMP can go as high as $729,750.
