Routt County's 2026 FHA limit of $1,089,050 sits $547,763 above Colorado's standard floor of $541,287, giving Yampa buyers significantly more purchasing power than most Colorado markets. At Yampa's median price of $285,000, FHA requires just $10,000 down — saving $47,000 versus a 20% conventional down payment. Monthly MIP runs approximately $130 at that loan size, with a one-time upfront MIP of $4,800 typically rolled into the loan.
Most Yampa purchases fall comfortably within the $1,089,050 FHA ceiling. FHA is a strong fit for first-time buyers, repeat buyers with limited down payment, and borrowers with credit scores down to 580.
