2026 Loan Limits in Ventura County
The FHA loan limit for a single-family home in Ventura County is $1,035,000 for 2026, and the conforming limit is $1,035,000. Anything above the conforming figure is a jumbo loan.
Those two numbers are not always the same. HUD sets FHA limits between a national floor of $541,287 and a ceiling of $1,249,125, based on local median prices. The FHFA sets conforming limits with a baseline of $832,750 and the same $1,249,125 ceiling. In lower-cost counties the FHA limit sits below the conforming baseline, which is why a borrower there can sometimes finance more with a conventional loan than with FHA.
