FHA Raises Loan Limits for 2025: What It Means for Nome Buyers
FHA has increased loan limits again for 2025, giving Alaska buyers more purchasing power in tight markets like Nome.
Why This Matters
Higher limits mean more homes now qualify for FHA financing
Buyers who need low down payments (as little as 3.5%) have more options
Important for Nome where construction costs, materials, and freight keep home prices elevated
Helps first-time buyers who might’ve been priced out last year
Local Impact
Nome’s housing stock is unique — older homes, Toyo heat, remote logistics — but many still qualify under FHA. The higher limits help bridge the affordability gap and keep financing options open as winter hits and inventory tightens.
