Nearly 1 in 5 homebuyers will secure an FHA loan when buying a house. FHA loans are backed by the Federal Housing Administration and they tend to act as “helper loans” for buyers who may have less to put down at closing or who may have less-than-perfect credit.
Because the FHA takes on more risk by offering loans to these buyers, they also limit how much borrowers can take out when securing an FHA loan. The good news: The FHA raised the limits for every single county in Wisconsin, in 2020!
Most Wisconsin counties now have an FHA loan limit of $331,760. Some of the more expensive counties have higher limits. If you’re considering an FHA loan in 2020, here are the FHA loan limits for each county in Wisconsin.
Remember, some cities span more than one county. Ask your REALTOR® or lender about the loan limit you can expect if you’re searching for homes near county lines.
