Statement on the Conforming Loan Limit for 2008 On November 15, 2006, OFHEO announced that any decline in the house price index used to establish the conforming loan limit would not result in a decline in that limit for 2007. OFHEO also committed at that time to providing updated guidance on how future reductions in the house price index would affect the conforming loan limit. On June 20, 2007, OFHEO released on its Web site for public comment a proposed revision to its existing Examination Guidance entitled ‘‘Conforming Loan Limit Calculations’’ (the original proposal). Today, OFHEO is publishing in the Federal Register for public comment a revised version of that proposed guidance (the revised proposal). Both the original and revised proposal provide for holding the conforming loan limit constant, rather than having it decline, should the relevant house price index decline by a de minimis amount. The $650 decline in the conforming loan limit implied by last year’s house price decline falls within the de minimis range as originally proposed and as proposed here. Consistent with this intention of having a de minimis change exception to potential reductions in the loan limit, OFHEO is today affirming that the current $417,000 conforming loan limit will not be reduced in 2008, without regard to any reduction in the relevant house price index in 2007. Should the relevant house price index show an E:\FR\FM\22OCN1.SGM 22OCN1
