The Katy market in context.
Katy sits within Harris County, which means loan limits here carry real weight for buyers. The conforming loan limit lands at $806,500 and the VA county limit matches that figure. The FHA single-family limit comes in at $556,150, which is lower than what many move-up buyers need but covers a solid portion of the entry-level and first-time buyer segment. Master-planned communities like those found throughout the Katy corridor tend to attract a mix of buyers: relocating corporate employees tied to the Energy Corridor, growing families prioritizing Katy ISD, and investors drawn to the area's consistent demand. Home prices across the city vary meaningfully by subdivision age and proximity to I-10, so understanding where a specific property lands relative to these limits matters before you choose a loan program.
Every loan program we close, available across Greater Houston.
Because the conforming limit in Harris County reaches $806,500, most Katy buyers can finance a significant purchase with a conventional loan and avoid jumbo territory. Conventional financing works well across the master-planned communities and new construction neighborhoods throughout the area. FHA loans are a practical fit for first-time buyers targeting entry-level price points, particularly in older sections of Katy closer to the historic downtown area, though the $556,150 FHA limit does cap how far that program stretches. VA loans are available up to $806,500 for eligible veterans and active-duty service members with full entitlement. Buyers pushing above the conforming ceiling into higher-priced new builds can explore jumbo loan options. USDA eligibility may apply to select addresses on the outer western edges of the Katy area, so it's worth checking if you're buying further out.
