On Dec. 20, 2013, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) announced a 25-day extension for communities who wish to request a change to high cost area loan limits. The new deadline for appeals is Jan. 31, 2014. The National Association of REALTORS® and other industry groups urged HUD to extend this deadline. This will allow communities more time to present data to HUD which could result in a reevaluation of loan limits for a particular area.
Details for appealing loan limits are included in Mortgagee Letter 2013-43.
