Keizer prices, programs, and the path through.
Keizer incorporated in 1982 specifically to prevent annexation by Salem, preserving its own municipal identity; positioned on the north side of the Salem metro with River Road North as its commercial spine and the Willamette River its western edge, the city delivers suburban amenity at entry-to-mid price points well below the Portland metro.
That Keizer market shapes the loan. For Keizer, 2026 conforming tops out at Marion County’s $832,750 baseline on one-unit Keizer homes. With Keizer homes mostly under $832,750, conventional plus FHA plus down-payment-assistance all work on Keizer files. Keizer itself prices solidly middle-of-market. Per FHFA’s 2026 schedule — we’ll check your exact numbers.

Are certain Keizer neighborhoods outside your coverage?
No. Every Keizer neighborhood is covered, McNary Estates, West Keizer, Claggett Creek area and Chemawa/Gubser corridor included.
