The local figures answer the first question: Murfreesboro, TN is connected to Rutherford County for this 2026 source comparison. For borrower planning, the published one-unit conforming limit is $1,029,250, while the published one-unit FHA limit is $1,029,250. Those figures organize different program categories; $1,029,250 is not a conventional loan offer, and $1,029,250 is not an FHA eligibility finding. For Murfreesboro, TN, starting with Rutherford County keeps the limits attached to the county or county-equivalent area used in the official files. Borrowers in Murfreesboro, TN still need to confirm the selected property's location and legal unit count, because the relevant Rutherford County row follows the property rather than the city label or mailing address alone. Around Murfreesboro, TN, mailing cities and ZIP codes can cross county boundaries, so the official property jurisdiction should be verified instead of inferred from a familiar place name. Keep Rutherford County as Murfreesboro, TN's confirmed county row before comparing the $1,029,250 and $1,029,250 program boundaries.
Rutherford County's conforming limit rises from $1,029,250 for one unit to $1,979,350 for four units, while the FHA figures move from $1,029,250 to $1,979,350. In practical terms, the higher $1,979,350 and $1,979,350 amounts apply to the published four-unit category; they do not apply to a one-unit home merely because a borrower wants a larger loan. In Murfreesboro, TN, a legal unit count should be verified from reliable property information before a multi-unit limit is used. For the decision at hand, the $1,979,350 and $1,979,350 ceilings do not resolve occupancy, appraisal, rental-income treatment, reserves, or other multi-unit program rules, so the amount in the table is only one part of the product discussion.
