A conventional loan is a widely used mortgage option that is not backed by a government agency, offering flexible terms and competitive pricing. Loan limits are updated annually, and for 2026, the standard conforming limit for a single-family home is $806,500, with higher limits available in designated high-cost areas. This makes conventional financing a strong option for a wide range of home prices and borrower needs.
