Hollywood home loans, the honest version.
Hollywood sits at the midpoint between Miami-Dade and Fort Lauderdale’s employment centers while keeping its own 2.5-mile Atlantic beachfront on the famous Broadwalk; Intracoastal neighborhoods and lower entry prices than Miami Beach make it a durable value position.
The loan has to fit the Hollywood picture. In Broward County, a Hollywood one-unit purchase conforms up to 2026’s $832,750 baseline for Hollywood files. With Hollywood homes mostly under $832,750, conventional plus FHA plus first-time-buyer all work on Hollywood files. As a market, Hollywood runs solidly middle-of-market. Per FHFA’s 2026 schedule — we’ll check your exact numbers.

Hollywood questions we hear most.
What's the 2026 conforming loan limit in Hollywood?
In Hollywood, a one-unit home can carry a conforming loan of up to $832,750 for 2026, under FHFA's limit for Broward County. Broward 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.
As a first-time buyer in Hollywood, where do I start?
Start by checking which of conventional and FHA loans you qualify for, since those are the loans first-time buyers in Hollywood use most. Some conventional programs accept 3% down from first-time buyers. An FHA loan on one unit in Broward County can go to $667,000 in 2026 (HUD).
Do you cover all of Hollywood?
Yes, we cover all of Hollywood, including Emerald Hills, Hollywood Lakes, Central Beach and Hollywood Hills.
