Georgia Reverse Mortgage Lending Limits
Georgia, known as the “Peach State,” is home to over 10.6 million people, with more than half a million of those residents being homeowners aged 62 and older. This means that many Georgians may be eligible to access the benefits of a reverse mortgage.
As of January 2024, the average home value in Georgia is $315,612, which is well below the HECM reverse mortgage lending limit of $1,209,750. This allows many Georgia homeowners to fully utilize their home’s equity.
Georgia’s rich history dates back to its founding as a British colony in 1733, making it the last of the original 13 Colonies. The state played a significant role in the Civil War and was later home to civil rights leader Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., whose legacy continues to shape the nation.
Georgia’s warm, humid climate makes it an ideal location for agriculture, with the state being the world’s largest producer of pecans and famous for its peach crops. The state’s major cities, including Atlanta, Columbus, Augusta, Macon, and Savannah, offer a variety of cultural and historical attractions, from the High Museum of Art in Atlanta to the beautiful historic squares of Savannah.
If you’re a homeowner aged 62 or older in Georgia, a reverse mortgage could be a valuable financial tool for your retirement. Whether you want to eliminate monthly mortgage payments or access additional funds from your home’s equity, All Reverse Mortgage, Inc. (ARLO™) is here to help. We’re ready to answer your questions and guide you through the process.
