It is commonly known that FHA loans are more readily available to those with less than perfect credit than conventional loans.  So why would FHA lend those with a blemish or two on their credit history “jumbo” amounts of money? Well, the answer has little to do with the borrower’s credit score and everything to do with the prevailing home prices in the area of the purchase.  The government has come to realize that in certain areas of the country, Bergen County New Jersey being one, that many homes cannot be purchased for the previous maximum FHA loan amount of $362,790.  That is why in March 2008, FHA temporarily increased their maximum loan amount to $729,750.  Although a temporary provision, it has already been extended through 2010.
