New 2009 FHA loan limits

The Treasure Valley will see a decrease in the FHA loan limits for 2009.  Ada and Canyon counties will both adjust.  New limits will be $271,050.  This is a significant drop from the 2008 limit of $303,750.  There is still time for a purchase at the higher limit, but not much.  The drop isn’t a huge surprise as FHA hopes to maintain their stellar positioning, especially in light of problems with Fannie and Freddie.  FHA currently requires 3% down from the borrower, though rumors abound that an increase to 3.5% is in the works.  While the seller is no longer allowed to partcipate in the down payment, gifts, community seconds and loans from employers are still viable alternatives.
