Chris~ I've been hearing rumors that the limits might not go down in January 2009. Are there any special sessions or meetings scheduled that you know of that may delay the drop in loan limits?

Interesting that the government is doing everything possible to stagnate and slow the real estate and mortgage market.  Lower the loan limits, kill Nehemiah.  All the while giving the lenders a bailout.  Makes lots of sense.

Hi Chris, I would like to agree with Rob, but there is a reason for where the limits are and it is based on home sale prices. We lost over $70k in the change, but FHA is still the way to go. Good info Chris.

In Orange County, CA the limit is $625,500, which is actually quite a bit higher than our pre-temp limit of $362,590, but less then the temp limit of $729,750. But then again, I never did a loan higher than $620,000 and most of what I'm seeing now if no higher than $350,000. Hopefully the new limits won't effect your business too much.  -T Storm
