The Kokomo market

Kokomo home loans, the honest version.

Kokomo’s residential market is anchored by Stellantis’s Kokomo Transmission and Indiana Transmission plants, employing several thousand union workers whose wages support consistent purchase demand; Indiana University Kokomo adds a renter-to-buyer pipeline among young graduates.

That market shapes the loan. In Howard County, the 2026 one-unit conforming limit is the national baseline of $832,750. Most Kokomo 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.
