2022 VA Loan Limits by County
Updated: July 14, 2022
Legislation passed in 2019 effectively abolished existing loan limits for some VA mortgages, removing the upper limit on VA-backed loans.However, many lenders have eligibility rules that exceed the qualifications set by the VA.
Also, VA loan limits remain a factor for veterans with diminished VA loan entitlement who want to use a VA mortgage without a down payment. That includes veterans wanting to hold multiple VA mortgages at the same time or those who’ve lost a previous VA loan to default.
In those cases, lenders typically follow the conforming loan limits (CLL) for mortgages acquired by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, set each year by the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
So, while VA-backed mortgages are securitized – meaning packaged into bonds that are sold to investors – by Ginnie Mae (not Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac) some rules can be the same.
New VA Loan Limit Rules
As of Jan. 1, 2020, the federally-established VA conforming loan limit maximum no longer applies to veterans seeking“jumbo loans” or veterans living in higher-cost markets. This means veterans can obtain a no-down payment VA-backed loan in any part of the country, regardless of home prices.
In most of the U.S., the 2022 maximum conforming loan limit (CLL) for single unit properties is $647,200, an 18.05% increase from $548,250 in 2021. The ceiling loan limit for single-unit properties in most high-cost areas is $970,800 – or 150% of the $647,200 loan limit for most single-unit properties.
Removing loan limits doesn’t mean borrowers have unlimited borrowing power without a down payment.
Borrowers must still demonstrate sufficient income, and must meet lender credit requirements to qualify for a loan.
Lenders can continue to impose their own 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.
President Donald Trump signed a bill to eliminate this cap on June 25, 2019. The new law also temporarily increased rates for certain VA loans by 0.15-0.30%.
