Conforming Loan Limits Have Increased


 


Great News for Homebuyers!

 

With historical home price appreciation defining the past year, conforming mortgage limits are increasing in 2022.

Qualified borrowers will now be able to take out larger loans backed by government–sponsored Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, FHA, and the Department of Veterans Affairs!

In Santa Clara County, the conforming mortgage limit jumps to $970,800 for a single-family home (it was $822,375 in 2021). That means that if you qualify, you can borrow $148,425 more than you could have borrowed if you’d purchased a home last year. Get the details at the link below.

Capital Gains Income Limits Are Up, Too!

 



How Capital Gains are Taxed

 

Did you know that your total taxable income is a big determiner of how much capital gains tax you’ll pay? In 2022, you’ll be allowed to earn a little bit more than you did last year, so even if you get a raise, you may not pay a higher capital gains rate when you cash out your investments.
