VA provides 199.3% more home purchase loans in Wisconsin in Q4 2023

Re 6

There were 880 VA home purchases in Wisconsin in the fourth quarter of the VA's fiscal year 2023, totaling $273 million in loans, according to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

By comparison, there were 294 VA funded home purchases in Wisconsin for the third quarter, totaling $90.6 million.

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.
