                  It seems like that it\'s possible that the congress would allow GSEs(Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac) to temporarily increase the conforming 
loan limit so taht it will provide a \'short term lift of the current Jumbo Loan Market.
But it\'s unlikely that the conforming loan limit will be increased 
in the near future.
(In California)On Sep 20th, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote a 
letter to Congressional leaders asking for a state exception 
to the GSE conforming loan limit ($417,000):
“The current GSE conforming loan limit for lenders willing to 
originate conforming mortgage loans for median-priced homes in 
California is $417,000; however, according to the California 
Association of Realtors, the median price of a single family 
residence in July was $586,030. Again, this disparity makes 
these products practically irrelevant in California,” 
Gov. Schwarzenegger writes in the letter to Congress.
