The average VA purchase loan amount for Iowa in fiscal year 2025 was $286,225, according to figures provided by the VA Home Loans Index.

By comparison, Iowa’s average VA purchase loan amount for 2024 was $269,938.

This represents a 6% increase in average loan value from the previous year.

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.

Several VA housing programs can help eligible individuals buy, build, or repair their homes. These include Purchase Loans, Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loans (IRRRL), and Adapted Housing Grants, which are designed for veterans with service-connected disabilities.
