According to one local contact, Erica Spellacy with Pacific Capital Mortgage, ericaspellacy@hotmail.com,...
No lenders have acknowledged these increases. FHA may allow it but the lenders have to have the recourses to approve, fund and sell these larger loans before they can move forward.
But here's the good news...
FHA requires only 3% down, allows for more lenient underwriting standards and NO longer requires a termite clearance.

HUD releases new California loan limits
By Matt Carter, Wednesday, March 5, 2008.
HUD released the new FHA loan limits for California today -- the rest of the country will get theirs tomorrow -- and median home price data that allows you to calculate the new conforming loan limit for Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae (it's 125 percent of the median home price, or $417,000, whichever is more, up to a maximum of $729,750).
All told, 14 California counties saw their loan limits for FHA, Fannie and Freddie bumped all the way up to the $729,750 cap. Most were in the San Francisco Bay Area or northern California (Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Monterey, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara) with five more in the L.A. area (Los Angeles, Orange, San Benito, Santa Barbara, and Ventura).
