FHA’s mortgage limits are set at 65% of the national “conforming” loan cap, which recently increased to $420,680 this year.
The FHA high-cost limits 150% of the conventional loan limit, which is now $970,800 in some locations. High-cost locations like South Fla, CA, CO, VA, NY, etc are those where 115% of the median home price is greater than the floor ($420,680) but less than the ceiling ($970,800). In these areas, the limit equals 115% of the median home price.
Reminders for those using the FHA mortgage:
- The FHA loan limits for 2022 apply to both FHA purchase and streamline /cash-out refinance transactions.

2022 VA Mortgage Limits:
VA loan limits follow the same as the conforming limits listed above. VA loan amounts that exceed the standard conventional caps are considered VA Jumbo loans and will require a small down payment.
2022 USDA Mortgage Limits:
USDA Rural Housing loans do not have set loan limits. Instead, borrowers qualify based on their debt to income ratios. The general guideline is borrowers’ housing expenses (mortgage payment, taxes, and home insurance) should not exceed 30% of their gross income. Since USDA loans DO have household income limits, this will generally limit the size of the permitted loan amount to below conforming limits. Read more about the USDA loan limits.
