What Arlington buyers ask us first.
What's the conforming cap on an Arlington home loan?
A conforming loan on a one-unit Arlington home can go up to $832,750 in 2026, which is FHFA's limit for Tarrant County. Tarrant County uses the $832,750 national baseline, so a larger loan is a jumbo loan, which each lender prices and underwrites under its own rules.
Do Arlington first-time buyers have good loan options?
Yes. First-time buyers in Arlington can choose from FHA and conventional loans, and down-payment assistance where they qualify. FHA loans allow 3.5% down with a credit score of 580 or higher, under HUD's rules. For FHA, the 2026 one-unit limit in Tarrant County is $563,500, per HUD.
Does it matter where in Arlington I'm buying?
