Congress Authorizes New Higher VA Loan Limits for rest of 2012

VA Loan Limits increased for Remainder of 2012 – up to $1m in California

Congress and the President have worked together to authorize the Veterans Administration to increase the 2012 VA Loan Limits for California for the remainder of 2012.   The formula for generating the VA Loan Limits was altered by Congress in 2008, and has now been resinstated beginning August 6, 2012.

The VA Jumbo Loan allows Veterans and Active Duty Military Personnel to purchase homes in higher cost areas of California and Washington at loan amounts more inline with local housing costs.    Many Vet’s can purchase up to $1m with zero money down.

Some examples of the new VA Loan Limits in California are: Veterans in Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura, Brea, Pasadena, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Long Beach may qualify for a 100% VA Jumbo loan up to $675,000. San Diego County cities including San Diego, Oceanside, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Encinitas, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, la Mesa and National City a Vet can borrow up to $518,750 with no money down when buying a house. San Jose vets can go up to $831,250 with no money down VA Purchase Loan. Bay Area Vets buying a home in San Francisco, Alameda, Oakland, Fremont, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo, Daly City, etc can qualify up to $1,000,000 for a 100% VA Loan as well. We also offer VA Loans that exceed these limits with the appropriate amount of Down payment on purchases, or equity on Refinances.
