The Office of Federal Housing Enterprise Oversight

OFHEO analyzed possible impacts from a House bill and a Senate bill.

The House bill, H.R. 1427, would allow higher-cost areas a new limit that would be the lower of either the median area home price or 150% of the current limit — that equates to $625,500, which is the current limit in Alaska, Hawaii, Virgin Islands and Guam.

The Senate bill is similar but the increase would only be for the year after it was enacted.
