2026 Loan Limits in Edwards, Eagle County
Edwards is in Eagle County, one of Colorado's high-cost areas, where both the high-balance conforming and FHA limits reach $1,249,125 in 2026. Loans up to $1,249,125 are still Fannie Mae / Freddie Mac eligible — but at high-balance pricing, which carries a small rate premium over the $832,750 standard conforming baseline. Any loan above $1,249,125 is jumbo and requires portfolio or non-agency financing. Eagle County is a high-cost area, and FHA is generous here at $1,249,125 — at or above the $1,249,125 conforming limit — so Edwards buyers can use 3.5% down at price points that are jumbo territory almost everywhere else. HUD set that number off the Edwards area median sale price of $1,225,000. On 2-4 units, conforming runs $1,599,375/$1,933,200/$2,402,625 and FHA $1,599,375/$1,933,200/$2,402,625, which is how a lot of Edwards buyers house-hack a duplex with 3.5% down.
