Effective with loan closings after January 1st, 2015 the conventional loan limits for King, Pierce, and Snohomish counties will increase from $506,000 to $517,500. This is good news for folks who are looking to purchase with only 10% down as many Jumbo options require 20% down to get the best rates. We expect FHA and VA to follow suit, but they have not made a formal announcement yet.
