FHA loans are not limited by the baseline FHFA CLLs but they are based on the values. FHA calculates forward mortgage limits based on the median house prices in accordance with the National Housing Act. These limits are set at or between the low-cost area and high-cost area limits based on the median house prices for the area.
Low-cost area mortgage limits are set at 65 percent of the national conforming limit
High-cost area mortgage limits are set at 150 percent of the national conforming limit
