Is Extending the Jumbo Conforming Limit Necessary?

There are proposals in both the House and Senate to keep the conforming jumbo loan limit at $729,750 until the end of 2010 : “While those [jumbo] loan limits aren’t scheduled to go down to $625,500 until January 1, if not maintained at the higher level now, the mortgage industry will begin to plan for loans at the lower amount,” according to a joint press release by the chairs of the appropriations committees in both houses of Congress, Sen. Daniel Inouye (D-HI) and Rep. David Obey (D-WI).
