Conforming loan limits (also VA and FHA limits) are increased from time to time to keep up with housing prices--if they weren't, the limits would still be stuck back at $50,000, and that wouldn't be very useful to homebuyers. Has little to do with declining credit quality.

And by the way, ALL loans sold in the secondary mortgage market are granted to "qualified credit only"---this isn't new, either.<gg>>
