Nearly 20% of today’s buyers will use an FHA loan, or “helper loan,” to purchase a home. FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration, which has the ability to approve buyers who may have smaller down payments or less-than-perfect credit.
However, the FHA takes on more risk when lending to these buyers, so they also set a limit on how much buyers can take out with an FHA loan. Most Minnesota counties have a 2022 FHA loan limit of $420,680. Thirteen of the more expensive Minnesota counties have a higher limit of $448,500, including:
- Anoka, Carver, Chisago, Dakota, Hennepin, Isanti, Le Seuer, Mille Lacs, Ramsey, Scott, Sherburne, Washington and Wright
