How Jacksonville buyers get to the closing table.
Jacksonville’s demand is structurally anchored to Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune and MCAS New River — together the largest Marine installation on the East Coast — creating a permanent, federally-funded renter and buyer pool that does not evaporate during civilian contractions; VA loans dominate across price bands.
That market shapes the loan. In Onslow County, the 2026 one-unit conforming limit is the national baseline of $832,750. Most Jacksonville 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.
