Common questions
What is the 2026 FHA loan limit in Wexford County?
Homebuyer.com lists $541,287 as the 2026 FHA limit for a one unit home in Wexford County, and $832,750 as the conforming limit for a conventional loan. Few homes here come near either number. The typical county value on Zillow was $232,555 in September 2026, well inside both caps.
Why are so many Wexford County homes listed as vacant?
The 2020 census counted 16,418 housing units in the county, and 17.1% of them were vacant on census day. The homeowner vacancy rate, which counts homes for sale and empty, was only 1.5%. The gap points to cabins and lake homes used part of the year, which the census counts as vacant when nobody lives there full time.
