Other areas such as Alaska have been designated high cost areas, even though our property value here in California are significantly higher. This is something that should be revisited by the powers that be, and instated as a permanent loan limit that increases as cost of living increases.

But bad news for buyers. Anyone who buys with this artificial prop in place will see an immediate and significant decline in the value of their home as soon as the prop is scaled back.
