What financing a Baytown home really takes.
Baytown is structurally tied to the ExxonMobil Baytown Complex — one of the largest US refineries — and the broader Houston Ship Channel petrochemical corridor, providing a stable blue-collar and engineering workforce; it is one of Harris County’s most affordable markets, with a major refinery reconfiguration project sustaining employment through the decade.
That market shapes the loan. In Harris County, the 2026 one-unit conforming limit is the national baseline of $832,750. Most Baytown purchases sit comfortably under that $832,750 line, which keeps conventional, FHA, and conventional options on the table. Limits per FHFA 2026; verify your scenario with us.
