US conforming mortgage loan limit changes

Overview

The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced that conforming loan limit values (CLLs) will increase for 2026. For standard cost areas, the baseline for one-unit properties will rise by $26,250 to $832,750, with higher ceilings established for two-unit and four-unit properties, as well as high-cost markets.

Following this announcement, lenders Rocket Mortgage and CrossCountry Mortgage independently raised their internal one-unit conforming loan limits to $845,000. This internal adjustment, which is $12,250 higher than the 2026 national baseline, aims to retain higher-balance borrowers within conventional financing channels and prevent them from moving into the jumbo loan market.
