The Federal Housing Administration's recent decision to raise the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage limit to $1,209,750 for 2025 demonstrates commitment to asset-based borrowing, enhancing homeowners' financial options.
While the borrowing power increases, industry analysts are divided on the implications of the new limit given current high-interest rates, suggesting potential benefits and drawbacks for the reverse mortgage market.
Reverse mortgage industry professionals, including Jonathan Scarpati of Finance of America, express optimism that the new limit will broaden the use of proprietary products, helping homeowners beyond the HECM options.
Lisa Moriello from loanDepot highlights the excitement for the increased HECM limit, noting its potential to provide more opportunities for older homeowners to leverage their home equity effectively.
