FHA loan limits for Wisconsin in 2017

FHA loan limits Wisconsin 2017

Loans backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) can be secured even if the buyer has a down payment as low as 3.5 percent. Many first-time buyers use FHA loans to help them secure a loan even when they don't have a large lump sum in savings.

FHA loans aren't designed to help buyers purchase luxury homes; they are considered "helper loans" because they assist buyers who may not be able to purchase a home otherwise. To ensure responsible borrowing for those securing an FHA loan, these loans have limits that are set by county. Below are the FHA loan limits for single-family homes across every county in Wisconsin.

Pro tip: Some cities are technically located across multiple counties, so check with your REALTOR® or lender to see what the loan limits are on specific homes near the county line.
