Recent rate and loan limit changes

Conforming loan limits have just recently been moved up to $359,650. The limit will be in effect for any loans funded after Jan. 1, 2004. Up until then, the limit is $333,700. Conforming loans are those that are bought by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. They are generally the lowest interest rates for 30 year Fixed, 15 year Fixed, and 3, 5 or 7 Year ARMs.

Also, the Prime rate recently rose to 5.25%, up from 5.00%. The Prime Rate is published in the Wall Street Journal and is the basis for many consumer and business loans, especially Home Equity Lines of Credit.
