Full disclosure: The Tim is employed by Redfin<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yesterday over on the Redfin blog<\/a>, I dug a little deeper into the conforming loan limit changes, pulling detailed sales data from all around the country by zip code to see which areas would be most affected by the change.<\/p>\n

The result was another Google FusionTables zip code heat map. Below I have embedded the Seattle area. Note that to calculate the percent of sales that would be affected, I assumed 20% down. Click on any zip code to see the breakdown. Red represents 20% or more affected, Orange for 10% to <20%, Yellow for 5% to <10%, and Blue for <5%.\n\n\n\n
