Talks about a new mortgage product ("high balance") which will be available in 2009. This could be view as a replacement for the current conforming jumbo loan programs that they offer. According to the info in the .pdf document, it appears that the new limit will be no more than $625k per the Housing & Recovery Economic Act (it was going to remain at $729,750 if it was just up to the Economic Stimulus Act).
