This is 44,926 loans more than in 2019 when Virginia's VA loan totals numbered 35,492, in the amount of $12.2 billion.
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. 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.
The VA's fiscal year runs from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30.
