Debate Over Conforming Loan Limit

Sedona luxury real estate could be eligible for better loans

Sedona luxury real estate is often priced above the current conforming loan limit of $417,000. Instead, Sedona luxury real estate often needs a jumbo loan in order for financing to go through. The high interest rates have caused trouble for some.

Now, though, there is a debate over the conforming loan limit. As part of last week’s economic stimulus package (most notable for the tax rebate announcement), the Bush Administration and House leaders agreed to increase the conforming loan limit to allow higher-priced markets access to loans that could be bought by Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae.

The Senate, however, is a different story. Some worry that raising the conforming loan limit would do more harm than good.
