Central Valley, Calif. – April 2018 – Many first-time homebuyers will enter the real estate market this year, along with families who will move-up into a new home. Loan limit lending increases for 2018 has allowed many homeshoppers to finally enter into the market. Loan lending limit increases have created a real opportunity for many buyers, and Lennar’s simplification of the new homebuying process makes a new Lennar home an ideal choice.
“The Federal Housing Authority (FHA) increased loan limits all over at the start of the year, including in Kern, Fresno and all the counties where we have new home communities,” said Susan Wilke, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Lennar Central Valley. “It’s a great for prospective buyers, because it expands their purchasing power and allows some buyers to finally enter into the market.”
In Fresno, Kern, Merced, Kings, Tulare and Madera counties, FHA loan lending limits increased to $294,515 for single units. FHA loans are designed for borrowers unable to make a large down payment. The increase in lending limits will give many prospective homebuyers the purchasing power needed to enter the market in 2018.
