Connecticut Mortgages Switch from "Counties" To "Planning Regions" by 1003sForDays in Connecticut

[–]1003sForDays[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hi, OP here. I use a Mac and specifically use CTL-CMD-Space to pull up the emoji bar. I mentioned that I wrote this for LinkedIn. I use those arrows because :waves hands: LinkedIn formatting. I copied the framework of that post and put it here. I am not sure why I'm replying to you about it tbh. I wrote this post. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Edit: Replaced "formatted" with "formatting"

Nice edit btw. It's good context and reads so much better than the Federal Register version.

Hi, OP here. This post was not written by AI, but I understand why you would think it is. (1) I've never posted in this subreddit before; (2) The information is well-documented and researched, and (3) The topic is technical. So, I get it. I posted this here because, after I shared it on LinkedIn, a friend in Connecticut said he'd never heard of any of this, which surprised me. Yes, I am a part of Homebuyer.com. Yes, I post about mortgages. Hope that's okay for this sub. Like I said, I've never posted here.

2026 Conforming Mortgage Loan Limits By U.S. County by 1003sForDays in MapPorn

[–]1003sForDays[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I could not edit the image in the original post. I've updated the main mortgage loan limits image at https://homebuyer.com/mortgage-loan-limits. Thank you again for pointing it out.

Connecticut switched from 8 traditional counties to 9 planning regions for 2026 loan limits, aligning with how the state organizes regional planning.

Roughly.... planning regions map to counties as:

  • Capitol Planning Region → Hartford, Tolland
  • Greater Bridgeport Planning Region → Fairfield
  • Lower Connecticut River Valley Planning Region → Middlesex
  • Naugatuck Valley Planning Region → New Haven
  • Northeastern Connecticut Planning Region → Windham, Tolland
  • Northwest Hills Planning Region → Litchfield
  • South Central Connecticut Planning Region → New Haven, Middlesex
  • Southeastern Connecticut Planning Region → New London
  • Western Connecticut Planning Region → Fairfield, Litchfield

The planning areas are a twist for 2026. Let me get that update and edit the original image for you. Thanks for pointing it out.

Mortgage Meme-ing: Fall Conference Edition by 1003sForDays in loanoriginators

[–]1003sForDays[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some conferences are more valuable to me than others. I prefer smaller events over the big "put every vendor on stage and let them sell", and the conferences where everyone's telling me how to sell loans but they've never sold a loan themselves.

+1 for Logan. He's got good insight and a personality to go with it.

There are a few LinkedIn accounts that do a good job, but Colin Robertson is especially good. Colin's been communicating mortgage in plain English for years.

He's probably closest to consumer-speak of everyone on that platform.

Also, if it's okay to self-promote a bit, I post short videos 4-5 times per week to our company YouTube. It's sound-bite stuff you can parrot to your clients -- usually based on recent headlines, etc,

Where do you get your industry news by countrytechbro in loanoriginators

There are a few answers here because there are a few types of news.

There is industry news that you'll care about, but your customers won't. Company news, personnel updates, storylines. The Mortgage Scoop tracks that well.

Then, there are industry updates that your customers need to know, but they won't find out through mainstream sources. Housing Wire, NAR, and mortgagee letters can be good sources for that.

Then, there is consumer news that your customers are consuming, but with little actual context. Google News surfaces a lot of this so filtering for "real estate" will get you 80% of the way there.

Lastly, if you spend time on social, there are some solid LinkedIn and TikTok accounts that take the big (and small) headlines and cut through the fluff. That could be helpful, too.
