FARM Home Loans Act of 2025
This bill amends the Farm Credit Act to expand rural home loan eligibility. It adds "accessory dwelling units" (like guest houses or converted garages) to the definition of qualifying property features and increases the maximum property size for loans from 2,500 to 10,000 square feet. These changes directly affect rural homebuyers and lenders by allowing more property types and larger homes to qualify for Farm Credit loans. The policy change specifically modifies existing loan criteria without altering funding levels or creating new programs.
