There's good news for VA and FHA buyers in 2009. Loan limits for VA loans haven't changed. And even though FHA loan limits for high-cost areas have dropped from last year, so have home prices. That means it's not too late to take advantage of these low-interest loans offered with low, or even no, down payment.
