VA provides 25.0% more purchase loans in Arizona for 2020 vs. 2019

Re 1

The number of VA purchase loans in Arizona for 2020 was 15,763 and totaled $4.7 billion, according to figures provided by the Veteran’s Affairs Home Loans Index.

By comparison, there were 13,985 VA purchase loans in Arizona for the previous year, totaling $3.8 billion.

The VA assists service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses 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 members buy, build or repair their homes. Loan types may include home purchase loans, interest rate reduction refinance loans (IRRRL), and adapted housing grants, geared toward veterans with a service-connected disability.
