Conforming loans are conventional loans that meet bank-funding criteria set by Fannie Mae (FNMA) and Freddie Mac (FHLMC). Both of these stock-holding companies buy mortgage loans from lending institutions and secure them for resale to the investment community. Every year, form October to October, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac establish limits on what constitutes a conforming loan in a mean home price.
The primary advantage of a conforming loan is that, for borrowers with excellent credit, they typically offer lower interest rates, which means lower monthly mortgage payments and less money spent over the life of the loan. We offer the best conforming loans in Houston, TX and surrounding areas.
Buying back mortgage loans allow these agencies to provide a continuous flow of affordable funding to banks that reinvest their money back into more mortgage loans. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac only buy loans that are conforming, to repackage into the secondary market – effectively decreasing the demand for non-conforming loans. Texas Premier Mortgage is a qualified Conforming Loan Lender servicing clients in The Woodlands, Spring, Conroe, and does business in surrounding areas such as Houston, as well as the entire state of Texas.
