The housing scene for Dallas-Fort Worth veterans has been positive so far in 2020.

The market saw the number of Veterans United Home Loans double year-over-year, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs data.

The VA backed 1.2 million loans in 2020 than it did in the previous fiscal years combined and the most in the 76-year-old benefit program. It was the ninth consecutive year that VA purchase loans increased year-over-year.

Twenty-eight cities saw VA loan usage increase by 100 percent or more.

D-FW had the fifth-largest increase in the nation year over year, behind Fayetteville, N.C.; San Diego; Honolulu, and Colorado Springs.

Nationwide, the number of VA loans rose at a 114 percent pace.

In VA refinance loans, D-FW ranked third for the biggest percentage increase, trailing only Houston and San Antonio. The number of VA refi’s in D-FW rose 886 percent.

Nationally, VA refinance loans increased 241 percent year over year. Refinance loans were up more than 100 percent for every veteran age demographic.
