What to do

AWACS interpretation · not source language

What to review: No change is mandatory, so first review whether the higher 2025 limits ($806,500 baseline and $1,209,750 for high-cost areas), now in Essent's systems, may apply to your conventional loans that are eligible for Essent mortgage insurance.

QC implications

  • Sample conventional loans eligible for Essent mortgage insurance and confirm the limit used is the 2025 figure: $806,500 baseline or $1,209,750 for high-cost areas.
  • Check that any loan-limit eligibility decision made after Essent's systems were updated matches the 2025 limits.
