High balance jumbo super conforming mortgage loan limits by County 2011


For loans originated on or before September 30, 2011, the "temporary" high-cost area loan limits will apply and will be the same as the 2010 high-cost area loan limits, up to a maximum of $729,750. Presented below is a table detailing the County loan limits for Maryland, DC, and Virginia.

The limits are especially favorable to the DC Metro area, including Montgomery County, Frederick County, and Prince George's County with loan limits being $729,750.  Howard County, Anne Arundel County, and Baltimore County get left out with a $560,000 loan limit.  

What are the County loan limits?

The County Loan limits are somewhat like a speed limit in the mortgage market.  Fannie sets the limits which means they will secure loans originated up to the specified amount.  Anything above the specified loan limits and you are required to use a private backed Jumbo mortgage product with have higher rates and different terms. 

** Don't forget about our second mortgages to allow you to go above the loan limits with only 10% down - keeping you out of jumbo mortgage rates.

Loans originated on or after October 1, 2011 are slated to go back to the "permanent" high-cost area loan limits up to a maximum of $625,500.

Ok, Sorry I Have to Make the Call...I Think That Lenders are Off the Deep End Here

Linda makes a point about an appraiser requiring something very trivial and causing major problems for her transaction.  This is another reason why working with a local community bank with direct access to underwriters is crucial.  Here at my bank, 1) we use a local rotation of appraisers, so we can guarantee the appraiser quality, and 2) our underwriters are here in our office, so if something like this comes up we will know about it early on in the transaction and can determine a strategy about how to move forward, instead of coming up in the 11th hour of the transaction, potentially putting the entire deal in jeopardy. 

Via Linda Humphrey, M.D., Broker/Owner HHC Realty (Humphrey Home Connections Realty, Reno, Nevada):

This is NOT a post about the causes of the real estate market collapse. Many causes, many guilty parties, many innocent bystanders caught in the crossfire. One of my favorite topics of debate and conversation. But not today.

Still...despite the multifactorial nature of the meltdown, I think that MOST of us would agree that there was, well just perhaps, a need for a bit of tightening in lending standards a few years ago. Maybe an actual job and actual income WAS, after all, a good idea. Who knew? Maybe some documentation of said income made some sense. Who would have thought? Maybe even providing some extra documentation along the way, FICOs and such, was a worthwhile endeavor when hundreds of thousands of dollars were being loaned. I totally get that, and I try hard to be patient and sympathetic as my buyers' lenders, the good ones that are still employed, now work to create a file to be reckoned with.

Ship shapeBut, somewhere along the line towards making things shipshape, we got maybe just a smidgeon carried away. Don't get me wrong...I am a doctor, I am well versed in the art of ass covering. Spiffing the chart...been there, done that. Has nothing to do with improving patient care; I get it. Heck, I have to deal with the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Hospitals on a regular basis, whose primary interest it is to discover heinous discrepancies that must be corrected immediately, else why would their future intervention be needed? But I digress...

Today, I phoned a lender to let hDeal breakerer know that, although SHE had a holiday yesterday, I was hard at work arranging for a deal to close escrow on a time frame they had established. Need to be on record by Friday, so I'm told. Ok, so on this deal, which already has two appraisals, two inspections and a slew of repairs done by the seller, I have just arranged for a reinspection to assure that all repairs they require are completed. "But what about the appraisal?" she says.  What appraisal??? "Well the appraiser called out for some repairs too." Um...yes, he noticed that a couple of outlet covers were missing, is that what you mean? "It needs to be rechecked," she explains. So, you are telling me that you need to waste an appraiser's time, likely several hundred dollars worth, returning to the property to verify that two plastic, $1.50 each, outlet covers were screwed into place? You have GOT to be kidding me! Don't you think the inspector, who will be there reinspecting repairs, probably has the expertise to make that call? Guess you just can't take that chance when ass covering is at stake.

Poll time: how many of you think that the reason the real estate market tanked is because banks weren't nit-picking trivial home repairs? Anyone? Bueller? ANYONE?
