Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find the official 2026 conforming loan limits?
The FHFA (Federal Housing Finance Agency) publishes official conforming loan limits at fhfa.gov. CTC cross-references FHFA data on every file where loan limits are relevant.
Does Colorado have a statewide conforming loan limit?
No — Colorado's conforming loan limits vary by county. Most counties use the national baseline ($832,750 for 2026), but high-cost counties have higher limits up to $1,249,125.
What happens if my loan amount exceeds the conforming limit?
The loan requires jumbo financing, which means different underwriting (manual), higher reserve requirements (typically 12+ months), and rates that vary by investor. CTC identifies the right jumbo investor for each property location.
