  • Fed Rate Cuts and Higher Conforming Loan Limits: What It Means for Buyers in 2026
    Jan 30 2026

    The Fed has lowered interest rates and conforming loan limits are increasing for 2026. In this episode of The Loan Doctor Podcast, Richard Brandt breaks down what these two major changes mean for homebuyers, homeowners, and investors.

    We cover how lower rates impact mortgages, credit cards, and consumer loans, why the new $832,750 conforming loan limit matters, and how it compares to jumbo loans. You will learn the real differences between conventional and conforming loans, what lenders look for when approving a mortgage, and how credit, income, down payment, and debt ratios work together as a full financial picture.

    Richard also explains why the lowest rate is not always the best choice, how strategy matters more than shopping numbers, and why starting the mortgage process early can save you thousands. If you are thinking about buying, refinancing, or planning for 2026, this episode will help you make smarter financial decisions.
