VA issues fewer Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans in New Hampshire in 2023 vs. 2022

Re 9

The VA issued 1,332 Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans in New Hampshire during the 2023 fiscal year, totaling $529.6 million, according to figures provided by the Veterans Affairs Home Loans Index.

This is a 43.5 percent decrease from 2022 when 2,653 loans totaling $936.6 million were issued.

The VA assists service members, veterans and eligible surviving spouses to achieve 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.

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.
