Re 14

The average VA home loan amount in New York during the first quarter of the fiscal year 2024 was $320,705, a 1.8% decrease from the previous quarter, according to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

New York state's average VA loan amount during the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2023 was $326,484.

The Veterans Affairs (VA) assists service members, veterans, and eligible surviving spouses in achieving homeownership through loans that are provided by banks and mortgage companies, offering financial support and benefits unique to those who have served in the military.

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

A number of VA housing programs can help members buy, build or repair their homes. Loan types may include Purchase Loans, Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans (IRRRL), and Adapted Housing Grants, which are geared toward veterans with a service-connected disability.
