What happened
The VA home loan program rules are interacting with high-cost market prices, using conforming loan limits as a reference point in Orange County. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs states that a borrower with full entitlement has no VA loan limit, provided the loan amount is affordable and the property appraisal supports the purchase price of the home. This applies in Orange County, where the median single-family price was $1,475,000.

Why it matters
In Orange County, the VA home loan guaranty is one of the few purchase options where the conforming loan limit set by the Federal Housing Finance Agency for 2026, which was $1,249,125, is not the maximum ceiling. The VA guarantees a portion of a loan made by a private lender.
A proposed bill has been introduced that aims to improve veteran support through enhancements to the VA Home Loan Program.
