Conforming Loans

A conforming loan is a mortgage loan that follows or “conforms” to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac established guidelines for the size of the loan and your particular financial situation.

What is a Conforming Loan?

A conforming loan is most commonly identified by its size, which generally is limited to $484,350 for single-family homes in the continental United States.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are both Government Sponsored Enterprises, which means they’re backed by the U.S. government.

Key Aspects to Remember:

  • Conforming loans follow guidelines pertaining to your debt-to-income ratio, credit scores, income, and minimum down payment.
  • Most conforming loans require between a 5 percent and 20 percent down payment.
  • Conforming loans often offer lower interest rates because they are backed by government enterprises.
