2025 to 2026 conforming loan limit changes, county by county

A reproducible, first-party comparison of every county-level entry in the official FHFA Conforming Loan Limit files for 2025 and 2026. Every number below is computed at build time from the two source CSVs — join keyFIPS_State_Code + FIPS_County_Code. FHFA loan-size limits are not borrower, property, product, or lender eligibility decisions.

Conventional.Loans (operated by Bolt Home Loans LLC, NMLS 2784913). “2025 to 2026 Conforming Loan Limit Changes: County-Level Explorer.” Computed 2026-07-29 from official FHFA 2025 and 2026 County Loan Limit Lists. https://conventional.loans/research/2025-to-2026-conforming-loan-limit-changes

Methodology and limitations

  • Rows joined by 2-digit FIPS_State_Code + 3-digit FIPS_County_Code.
  • Rows present in only one file are reported as added/removed rather than matched.
  • Percentage changes are computed on the 1-unit limit and rounded to four decimal places in JSON, two in the table.
  • “Increased/decreased/unchanged” classification uses the 1-unit dollar delta.
  • FHFA loan-size limits are not offers, quotes, or eligibility decisions.
  • See our Methodology and Source Policy.
