Rocket Mortgage also set its conforming loan limit at $1,267,500 for Alaska and Hawaii, effective immediately. Kyle Schoenmaker, Rocket Pro's SVP of sales, stated that the company's liquidity and balance sheet allowed for this early implementation, aiming to better serve partners and their clients, especially in a challenging market.
The FHFA sets baseline conforming loan limits each November, which dictate the maximum mortgage size that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac can purchase.
