On December 2, the Federal Housing Administration announced new FHA loan limits for the 2021 calendar year.

The FHA sets a floor loan limit for the lowest cost areas throughout the country and a ceiling loan limit for the highest cost areas around the country. All 2021limits fall within those two ranges and are set at 115 percent of area median house prices. 

• The FHA’s floor and ceiling loan limits will see a 7.4% increase in 2021
• The floor loan limit will increase to $356,362, up from $331,760
• The ceiling loan limit will increase to $822,375, up from $765,600
