The Temple market

Temple home loans, the honest version.

Temple is the medical-professional and family residential anchor of the Killeen-Temple metro — home to a flagship Baylor Scott & White Medical Center campus and within commuting range of Fort Hood — creating a dual military-and-healthcare demand base structurally independent of single-sector risk.

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