Loan Limit Wrangle to Resume in September

August 5, 2011
Look for the tug of war between proponents and opponents of extending high-cost loan limits for Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac and the FHA to go down the wire and even heat up when Congress returns from its summer break in September, Hill watchers predict.Unless Congress intervenes, the “emergency” high-cost market conforming loan limits that were enacted in 2008 will expire on Oct. 1.
