2023 FHA Loan Limits

As of January 1, 2023, the FHA will increase its floor for one unit properties to $472,030 – up significantly from its limit of $420,680 in 2022. For other types of properties, the 2023 FHA loan limits are as follows:

The figures above are the maximum loan values for each county. This is not the maximum sales price. For example, if the sales price is over $472,030 (for 2023), as long as the loan amount is less than the maximum, you are within guidelines. Sales price is not to be confused for maximum loan limits. The upfront mortgage insurance that gets rolled into the FHA loan also does not count towards the maximum value.
