Home buyers looking to purchase via FHA financing in Atlanta need to act fast if they plan on taking advantage of the increase FHA loan limits set in the Housing & Stimulus Bill passed in 2008. That bill has set our single family limits at $346,250, but that number will be lowered to $320,850 starting in 2009.
