VA provides 12.0% fewer home purchase loans in Georgia in Q2 2023

Re 10

There were 3,669 VA home purchases in Georgia in the second quarter of the VA's fiscal year 2023, totaling $1.2 billion in loans, according to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

By comparison, there were 4,168 VA funded home purchases in Georgia for the first quarter, totaling $1.4 billion.

The VA assists service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses in achieving homeownership through loans provided by banks and mortgage companies.

A portion of the loan is guaranteed by the VA, which allows the lender to provide better rates.

Several VA housing programs can help members buy, build or repair their homes. Benefits may include home purchase loans, interest rate reduction refinance loans, and adapted housing grants geared toward veterans with a service-connected disability.

The VA's fiscal year stretches from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.
