Garfield County's 2026 FHA limit of $1,249,125 sits $707,838 above Colorado's standard floor of $541,287, giving Silt buyers significantly more purchasing power than most Colorado markets. At Silt's median price of $385,000, FHA requires just $13,500 down — saving $63,500 versus a 20% conventional down payment. Monthly MIP runs approximately $170 at that loan size, with a one-time upfront MIP of $6,500 typically rolled into the loan.
Most Silt purchases fall comfortably within the $1,249,125 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.
