A conforming refinance is undertaken when refinancing a loan amount that falls at or below HUD’s designation for conforming loan limits (currently $417,000). Depending on the county where your property is located, homeowners can borrower up to $729,750 as HUD has enacted temporary loan limit increases in certain counties. Loans that fall between $417,001 and $729,750 go by several different names: super conforming, conforming high balance, conforming jumbo, and conforming plus. Loans that fall between these loan ranges are generally priced a little higher than those that are at or below $417,000.
