2019 KENTUCKY LOAN LIMITS FOR FANNIE MAE CONVENTIONAL LOANS
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced the new Kentucky maximum conforming loan limits for mortgages to be acquired by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Starting in 2019, the maximum conforming loan limit for single family homes will be $484,350 in Kentucky which is an increase from $453,100 in 2018.
How does this impact Kentucky homebuyers in 2019?
This increase in loan amount means more properties will be available at a lower rate for Kentucky homebuyers, without affecting the sellers in a negative way due to lower rates for conforming loans versus jumbo mortgage pricing. The same would also hold true for homebuyers who apply for Kentucky FHA or VA mortgages in Kentucky . The new VA loan limit is now $484,350 and the FHA loan limit is expected to rise to $304,750.
As a reminder, the new loan limits are available for conventional conforming loans and VA guaranteed loans today. The new FHA loan limit is effective January 1, 2019.
