Lending Limit Increases Make Fresno County Mortgages More Accessible Than Ever!

Affordable financing is now more accessible than ever! As of December 2017, conforming loan limits have increased throughout California, making it easier for first-time homebuyers to obtain mortgages. In Fresno County, we have seen increases in lending limits for Conventional loans, Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans and Veterans Affairs (VA) loans, all of which are mortgage options offered by De Young Mortgage!

An affiliate of legacy homebuilder De Young Properties, De Young Mortgage provides financing services to homebuyers and homeowners from across the Valley, offering low mortgage rates and a variety of down payment assistance programs. De Young Mortgage takes pride in being a reliable and reputable mortgage company in the Central Valley, offering a full-range of quality financing options including, but not limited to, the three loan types for which lending limits have increased this year: Conventional, FHA and VA loans.

So, what are each of these loans and which one might be right for you?

Conventional Mortgage Loans

A Conventional mortgage loan is a home loan that conforms to the loan limits set by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (Freddie Mac) and the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae), but is not guaranteed or insured by a federal government agency. If you have a strong credit score and intend to make a sizeable down payment on your home, this loan may offer a better rate, more flexibility and fewer provisions when compared to other loans!

The new Conventional mortgage lending limit for a single-family home in Fresno County is $453,100!

FHA Mortgage Loans

An FHA mortgage loan is a type of home loan backed and insured by the Federal Housing Administration. These loans have more lenient credit score and down payment requirements, designed to help low to moderate income homebuyers realize their dream of home ownership. The home of your dreams may not be far from reach with an FHA loan from De Young Mortgage!

The new FHA mortgage lending limit for a single-family home in Fresno County is $294,515!

VA Mortgage Loans

A VA mortgage loan is a type of guaranteed home loan made by private lenders to eligible veterans for the purchase of a personal home. These loans are guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. Most members of the military, veterans and National Guard members are eligible to apply for these loans, which offer competitive rates and benefits to eligible veterans! VA home loans start with $0 down programs.
