The Veterans Administration announces higher temporary loan limits for Orange County CA for the remainder of 2012.
Under the recently signed Honoring America’s Veterans and Caring for Camp Lejeune Families Act of 2012, the Department of Veterans Affairs reverted to a previous method of calculating maximum guaranty. The change resulted in VA loan limits increasing in San Diego County as well as other counties throughout the country.
New current temporary VA loan limit in Orange County CA is $675,000.
What that means to the consumer:
An eligible buyer utilizing their VA loan eligibility to purchase a home in Orange County CA can finance 100% of the sales price up to $675,000. If that buyer decides to purchase a home above $675,000, then a calculation will be applied to determine the amount of down payment required
