Conforming Loans

Conforming loans are conventional loans that meet bank-funding criteria set by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. Both of these stock-holding companies buy mortgage loans from lending institutions and secure them for resale to the investment community. Every year, form October to October, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac establish limits on what constitutes a conforming loan in a mean home price.

What is a Conforming Loan?

This list of conventional conforming loan programs includes:

95 % (LTV) Loan to Value No PMI
95 % or less (LTV) Loan to Value PMI or No PMI
REFI PLUS Fannie Mae Unlimited LTV/CLTV
(Combined Loan to Value)

Benefits of Conforming Loans

Buying back mortgage loans allow these agencies to provide a continuous flow of affordable funding to banks that reinvest their money back into more mortgage loans. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac only buy loans that are conforming, to repackage into the secondary market – effectively decreasing the demand for non-conforming loans.
