Monroe County's 2026 FHA limit of $990,150 sits $448,863 above Florida's standard floor of $541,287, giving Marathon buyers significantly more purchasing power than most Florida markets. At Marathon's median price of $745,000, FHA requires just $26,100 down — saving $122,900 versus a 20% conventional down payment. Monthly MIP runs approximately $330 at that loan size, with a one-time upfront MIP of $12,600 typically rolled into the loan.
Most Marathon purchases fall comfortably within the $990,150 FHA ceiling. FHA is a strong fit for first-time buyers, repeat buyers with limited down payment, and borrowers with credit scores down to 580.
Florida's Hometown Heroes program offers up to $35,000 in down payment and closing cost assistance for eligible buyers including healthcare workers, teachers, and first responders.
