There were 3,675 VA home purchases in Georgia in the first quarter of the VA’s fiscal year 2026, totaling $1.3 billion in loans, according to the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

By comparison, there were 4,436 VA funded home purchases in Georgia for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2025, totaling $1.6 billion.

The VA assists service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses to achieve 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 eligible individuals buy, build, or repair their homes. These include Purchase Loans, Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans (IRRRL), and Adapted Housing Grants, which are designed for veterans with service-connected disabilities.

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