Confused?? Mortgage rates for conforming v.s non conforming mortgages??
I thought the limit in Nassau county for the FHA non conforming loan rate was now anything under 729k??
However, when I called around to a few banks they said anything above 417k is considered a Jumbo mortgage. They said they do not have to follow the FHA limit.
How does this work? Where can you get the best interest rate and have it still considered FHA limit of under 729k?
Hope that makes sense? Or is there some stipulation as to who qualifies for it??

Over $417k is no longer "jumbo" it's "high balance conforming". So you dont get jumbo rates but you do pay 0.25% higher than the conforming rate (at least at Wells Fargo this is the case).
I guess you decided to leave the city  Good luck with the search!

As of now, we have a contract finally out on our apartment. As long as they get board approval by our co-op board...then yes we are free from the city!!!! LOL. So now we just wait and see.
It will be crazy though, if all goes through our close date is in the beginning of Nov and our  arrives Dec 21.
Hope you are doing well!!!!!
