Loan limits

Your loan limit is determined by calculating the percentage of your new loan compared to its existing market value or purchase price.  For example, if your home is worth $500,000 and you owe $400,000 then you have an 80% Loan-to-Value.

If the loan is for a new purchase most banks will only accept the lower of the purchase price or the appraised value.  If the appraised value comes in higher than the purchase price most lenders will not accept the higher value for calculating your down payment requirements.  Remember that your loan to value is based on the lower of the two.  If you are putting 20% down on a $500,000 home and the appraisal comes in at $475,000 - the bank will only loan you 90% of the $475,000 so you have to come up with 100% of the change in value .
