Because the 2018 Fannie/Freddie loan limits are in and that may mean big savings for many.
The new loan limits are $484,350 for Conforming loans and $726,525 for Hi Balance loans.
Let’s say the last time you took out a loan, the balance was above the old $453,100 (2017 conforming limit) or just above $636,150 (the old 2017 hi baance limit). You would have paid a substantially higher rate then if you were below those limits. Therfore, due to the new higher loan limits, you may be able to lower your interest rate and monthly payments.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (November 28, 2018) – Mortgage applications increased 5.5 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association’s (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending November 23, 2018. This week’s results include an adjustment for the Thanksgiving holiday.
“After several weeks of market volatility, 30-year fixed mortgage rates decreased four basis points to 5.12 percent last week. Homebuyers responded, with purchase applications 1.7 percent higher than a year ago, and after adjusting for the Thanksgiving holiday, they increased almost 9 percent from the previous week,” said Mike Fratantoni, MBA’s Chief Economist. “The rise in purchase activity was led by conventional purchase applications, which surged almost 12 percent, while government purchases were essentially unchanged over the week. This also pushed the average loan size for purchase applications higher, which likely meant there were fewer first-time homebuyers in the market last week.”
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with conforming loan balances ($453,100 or less) decreased to 5.12 percent from 5.16 percent, with points decreasing to 0.46 from 0.48 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent loan-to-value ratio (LTV) loans. The effective rate decreased from last week.
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages with jumbo loan balances (greater than $453,100) remained unchanged at 4.88 percent, with points increasing to 0.31 from 0.29 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans. The effective rate remained unchanged from last week.
The average contract interest rate for 30-year fixed-rate mortgages backed by the FHA increased to 5.11 percent from 5.08 percent, with points remaining unchanged at 0.63 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans. The effective rate increased from last week.
The average contract interest rate for 15-year fixed-rate mortgages remained unchanged at 4.53 percent, with points remaining unchanged at 0.51 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans. The effective rate decreased from last week.
The average contract interest rate for 5/1 ARMs increased to 4.29 percent from 4.24 percent, with points decreasing to 0.42 from 0.51 (including the origination fee) for 80 percent LTV loans. The effective rate increased from last week.
