The published evidence provides the starting point: Connecticut's statewide summary covers 9 county or county-equivalent records. For the decision at hand, within those records, the 2026 one-unit conforming limit runs from $832,750 to $977,500. That range may help borrowers see why the property county must be identified before a loan amount is assigned a conforming or jumbo category. In practical terms, the $832,750 to $977,500 range confirms that one conforming ceiling does not apply uniformly across Connecticut. The 9 record count keeps the range tied to the statewide source coverage in place of an assumed national rule. The $832,750 to $977,500 amounts classify loan size within the published program table; they do not establish a borrower's capacity, a property's value, or the price of financing. Before using the $977,500 statewide maximum, county, legal unit count, and expected base loan amount must be known.

Across the same 9 Connecticut records, the 2026 one-unit FHA limit spans $541,287 to $977,500.
