What is different in Ohio
- There are no high-cost counties in Ohio, so above $832,750 for a one-unit home a loan is jumbo.
- Jumbo purchases are concentrated in suburbs of Columbus, Cincinnati and Cleveland, where a strong file can still find competitive pricing.
- Two- to four-unit limits are higher, which helps investors and owner-occupants buying small multifamily homes.
- The 2.5% owner-occupancy tax reduction on a primary home slightly lowers the tax figure in your payment.
