The news for first-time condo and home buyers wanting low down payments keeps getting better. The new 2022 FHA loans have higher limits than previous years that allow buyers to purchase a new home or condo with just 3.5 - 10% down, depending on credit score, the loan type, and sometimes more flexible loan terms than conventional loans.
A previously revised policy also allows for certain individual condo units to be eligible for FHA loans, even if the condo building is not FHA approved.
FHA loans are federally insured mortgages, and because they are insured, lenders provide excellent rates for first-time buyers and those with no or less-than-perfect credit histories.
"The increase in loan limits, commensurate with the increase in home prices, will allow qualified individuals and families to continue to access FHA-insured mortgages to achieve affordable home financing," said Lopa Kolluri, principal deputy assistant secretary for housing and FHA.

What’s even better is that the FHA loan amounts for Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac loans have also significantly increased for 2022.
