Here are the maximum conforming loan limits (CLL) for mortgages to be acquired by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac in 2022. In most of the U.S., the 2022 maximum conforming loan limit for one-unit properties is $647,200, an 18.05% increase from $548,250 in 2021. The ceiling loan limit for one-unit properties in most high-cost areas will be $970,800 — or 150% of $647,200.
Loan limits still apply to veterans with more than one active Department of Veterans Affairs loan, only partial entitlement available or those who have defaulted on a previous loan.
VA Loan Limit – New Rules
As of Jan. 1, 2020, veterans seeking to obtain what are commonly referred to as jumbo loans or veterans living in higher-cost markets will no longer be subject to the federally-established VA loan limit (aka conforming loan limit) maximums. This means veterans may obtain no-down payment VA-backed loans in all areas of the country, regardless of home prices.
Note: Loan limits still apply for those who have more than one active VA loan, only partial entitlement available or those who have defaulted on a previous loan.
What’s the Catch?
There is no catch other than that the removal of loan limits doesn’t mean unlimited borrowing power without a down payment. You’ll still need to have sufficient income and will need to meet a lender’s credit requirements to qualify for the loan amount. Lenders can continue to impose their own in-house maximum loan amounts. Loan limits will still apply to veterans who have more than one active VA loan or have defaulted on a previous loan.
Why Did This Change?
VA Loan Limits went away because the Department of Veterans Affairs can now back loans that exceed the conforming loan limit. A bill eliminating this cap was signed into law by President Donald Trump on June 25th, 2019. In addition, veterans looking to purchase a home, H.R. 299 will temporarily increase rates for certain loans by 0.15-0.30%. More about this change and other VA loan changes can be found here.

The Housing and Economic Recovery Act (HERA) of 2008 dictates that the baseline conforming loan limit must be adjusted annually for Fannie and Freddie in order to reflect changes in the average U.S. home price. Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands have special statutory provisions that establish different loan limit calculations.
