new conforming loan limits

Someone posted in this website yesterday that the "conforming jumbo" ($417,000 to $729,750) does not apply for co-op's and you can only get the 6% or lower rates for co-op's at $417,000 and lower...

I guess Freddie/Fannie won't accept them...although "conforming jumbo's" have been having problems on their own even on apts and houses...

I'd like an answer as well. It's come up before and nobody seems to have a clear answer.

When "agency conforming" was first introduced, coops were excluded. About 2-3 months after, they added coops to the mix. So yes, coops count as agency conforming. Now, I don't know what current rates are, but "agency conforming" is still slightly higher than regular conforming (but much lower than jumbo). There are hidden fees at this special level that are baked into the rate.

I have such a mortgage on my coop.

I have such a mortgage, too. They do exist.
