2009 New Jersey Mortgage Limits

On January 14, 2009, in Tips And Advice, by Rick Pristas

The New Year has rolled in and brought with it an exceptional time to purchase a home in New Jersey.  If you are considering purchasing your first home or trading up you should start preparing yourself.  FHA loan limits go as high as $625,500 in Monmouth County, Ocean County and Middlesex County, NJ.

New Jersey home prices peaked a couple of years ago and are now back in  range of first time buyers.  Combine this with low FHA Mortgage rates and the $7,500 Tax Credit and it presents the perfect opportunity for the First Time Home Buyer to enter the market again with as little as 3.5% down payment.  Relatives making a gift down payment on behalf of the buyers will actually let them move into the home without having to worry about saving up for a large down payment.

The key is being prepared so when you find the right house you can make the offer without having to worry about qualifying for a mortgage loan.  In addition, being appoved subject only to an appraisal will make your offer stand out from others.
