What's the conforming cap on a Terre Haute home loan?
A conforming loan on a one-unit Terre Haute home can go up to $832,750 in 2026, which is FHFA's limit for Vigo County. That is the national baseline with no high-cost adjustment, so a loan above $832,750 is a jumbo loan. A two-unit property in Vigo County can borrow up to $1,066,250 and stay conforming.
What loans help first-time buyers in Terre Haute?
First-time buyers in Terre Haute most often use FHA, USDA and conventional loans. FHA loans allow 3.5% down with a credit score of 580 or higher, under HUD's rules. For FHA, the 2026 one-unit limit in Vigo County is $541,287, per HUD. USDA loans need no down payment on homes in USDA-eligible areas, for buyers within USDA income limits.
Which Terre Haute neighborhoods do you serve?
All of them, from Farrington Grove Historic District to Indiana State University area; the rest of Terre Haute is covered too.
