Figures are medians of loans actually originated in 2025, as reported under the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act. They describe what borrowers received, not what you would be offered: HMDA contains no credit scores, so these numbers cannot be read as pricing for any individual. Lender fees are reported for 68.3% of loans here — see methodology.
Loan limits here in 2026
- Conforming limit
- $1,089,050
- FHA limit
- $1,089,050
- Median home price
- $947,000
- That home, 20% down
- $757,600
A median-priced home with 20% down leaves $331,450 of room under the conforming limit, so the ceiling rarely binds on an ordinary purchase.
This is a high-cost area: loans above $832,750 are still agency-backed here, as high-balance, where a plain conforming loan would stop. How limits work
Median price is HUD's figure for the 2026 limit calculation, not a live market quote.
