Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac Mortgage Loan Limits are increasing approximately 7% effective Jan. 1, 2018. The new loan limit is $453,100, up from $424,100. FHA pegs their loan limits to Fannie & Freddie's loan limits. Any mortgage above those limits are considered jumbo loans and normally carry a higher interest rate than the conforming loan rates. So if you're considering buying a home, you're now able to obtain a larger mortgage without paying the higher interest rate for a jumbo loan.
Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors (NAR), predicts that mortgage interest rates will start increasing in 2018.
