What loan size keeps a Mesa mortgage conforming?

The 2026 conforming loan limit for a one-unit home in Mesa is $832,750, the figure FHFA set for Maricopa County. Maricopa 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. For two units, the Maricopa County conforming limit is $1,066,250.

As a first-time buyer in Mesa, where do I start?

Start by checking which of FHA and conventional loans you qualify for, since those are the loans first-time buyers in Mesa use most. FHA loans allow 3.5% down with a credit score of 580 or higher, under HUD's rules. HUD's 2026 FHA limit for one unit in Maricopa County is $557,750.

Which Mesa neighborhoods do you serve?

The Maricopa County conforming limit for one unit is $832,750 in 2026.

Yes, because a licensed partner broker in Arizona originates the Mesa loan while Choice Home Mortgage, licensed in California, coordinates it. Choice Home Mortgage is licensed in California (NMLS #2629064) and has no Mesa office, so the application, documents and updates run by phone and online.
