Larimer County's 2026 FHA limit of $634,800 sits $93,513 above Colorado's standard floor of $541,287, giving Estes Park buyers significantly more purchasing power than most Colorado markets. At Estes Park's median price of $695,000, FHA requires just $24,300 down — saving $114,700 versus a 20% conventional down payment. Monthly MIP runs approximately $310 at that loan size, with a one-time upfront MIP of $11,700 typically rolled into the loan.
Estes Park's median price of $695,000 exceeds the $634,800 FHA ceiling. FHA works best for entry-level buyers targeting properties priced below $658,000. For purchases above that threshold, conventional high-balance or jumbo financing is required.
