There is good news for homebuyers in Florida in 2026. The FHFA has just announced that the conforming loan limits have been raised for 2026. Higher conforming loan limits will help more homebuyers purchase a home without needing to take out a jumbo mortgage.
The Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) announced, “In most of the United States, the 2026 CLL value for one-unit properties will be $832,750, an increase of $26,250 from 2025.”
This increase is based on the increase that the FHFA found in house prices between Q3 2024 and Q3 2025. They found that the average home price increase was 3.26%. So, they used that percentage to adjust the baseline loan limits for 2026.
Conforming loan limits can vary from county to county, with the majority of counties set to use the national baseline. In higher cost counties, the conforming loan limits are also higher.
Miami is located in Miami-Dade County. These are the 2026 conforming loan limits for Miami-Dade County:
For comparison, here are the 2025 conforming loan limits for Miami-Dade County:
The Miami-Dade conforming loan limits are the same as the baseline conforming loan limits that apply to most counties in the US.
Moreover, all Florida counties fall into this same category. None of them are classified as higher cost areas with higher limits. So, no matter what part of FL you want to buy a home in, these same conforming loan limits apply.
The main benefit of higher conforming loan limits is that it makes it less likely that FL homebuyers will need to apply for a non-conforming “jumbo” mortgage.
Qualifying for a jumbo loan can be more challenging than qualifying for a conforming loan, because the requirements for your down payment and credit score are stricter.
Being able to apply for a conforming loan instead of a jumbo loan helps more homebuyers qualify and may also result in a more competitive interest rate.
You also may be able to buy the home you really want with a conforming loan, instead of waiting until you qualify for a jumbo loan or missing out on the chance to own your dream home altogether.
With a conforming loan, you may find it easier to accomplish your financial goals as a homeowner, now and in the future.
