Inside the Highland mortgage market.
Highland occupies the eastern Inland Empire transition zone between San Bernardino and the national-forest foothills, attracting buyers priced out of Los Angeles and Orange counties who need drive-commute access to the 210 freeway corridor.
That market shapes the loan. In San Bernardino County, the 2026 one-unit conforming limit is the national baseline of $832,750. Most Highland purchases sit comfortably under that $832,750 line, which keeps conventional, FHA, and FHA options on the table. Limits per FHFA 2026; verify your scenario with us.
