We’re very pleased to announce that loan limits have increased for both Federal Housing Administration FHA loans and Department of Veteran Affairs VA loans. Any applications filed on January 1, 2017 or later will be subject to the limit increase.

Last week, we announced the news that the FHFA increased conforming loan limits. As a result, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) and Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) have also increased the limits for FHA loans and VA loans, respectively.
FHA loan limits have increased from $271,050 to $275,665. These new loan limits apply to FHA-insured loans that have an application date of January 1, 2017 or later.
VA loan limits will follow the new limits set for Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac conforming loans. The VA will use these limits to determine how much of the loan they will guaranty and how much an eligible veteran can borrow without requiring a down payment. Veterans should consult their loan officer for further details. You can also visit the Department of Veteran Affairs website for additional information about VA home loans.

If you are looking to buy a home in 2017, this is excellent news for you! With rising home prices and the market’s return to pre-recession growth, the loan limit increase signifies a growing market. Many homebuyers will now be able to afford larger homes or homes in more expensive areas with better loan terms.

Fall is officially here and you know what that means – cooler air, warmer clothes, fun seasonal activities, football, and a change in scenery. For many, changes in scenery are not only outdoors, but also in their home. Fall decorations are all about warmth. Incorporating warm colors, such as reds and oranges, and warm aromas, such as pumpkin, apple, orange, cinnamon, and other spices, make for a cozy home during the autumn season. Here are some décor ideas to help make your home feel like the perfect fall getaway!
Fall is back and I am loving it! Fall to me means football, cider and donuts, apple orchards, Halloween, leaves changing colors, and more football. It is my second favorite season. The drive up to our cottage at this time of year is great with all the different colors. I am sure all or you have the above as favorites along with my fall addition of babble. So away we go……..
