Conforming Loan

Plain-English definition with Kansas context. Written for homebuyers, not mortgage bankers.

What is a conforming loan?

A conforming loan is a mortgage that meets the size limits and underwriting guidelines of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, making it eligible for purchase by these government-sponsored enterprises. For 2026, the baseline conforming loan limit in most Kansas counties is $806,500 for a one-unit property.

More detail

Loans above the conforming limit are classified as jumbo and follow different (usually stricter) guidelines.
