FHA Loans in Wyoming
The FHA loan limit in Wyoming is $472,030 for a single-family home. FHA loans require just 3.5% down payment and accept credit scores as low as 580.
Wyoming's FHA limits at the baseline cover the majority of the state's housing market. The notable exception is Teton County (Jackson Hole), where median home prices exceed $2 million and FHA is essentially irrelevant. FHA works well in Cheyenne, Casper, Laramie, and Sheridan where prices are moderate. Wyoming's rural character means many properties fall outside FHA's property eligibility requirements — manufactured homes, properties on large acreage, and homes without year-round road access may not qualify for FHA financing.
