California VA Loan Limits for 2025

VA Loan Limits for 2025 – VA loans now available up to $2m with no money down in California

The Veterans Administration has announced the VA Loan Limits for California for 2025.   The new California VA Loan Limits for 2025 have increased in all areas.  The real good news is that the Blue Water Navy Veterans act removed the maximum VA Loan Limit for Veterans with full entitlement available.

We now offer zero down VA Loans up to $2m for qualified Veterans.

The VA Jumbo Loan (aka VA High Balance Loan)  allows Veterans and Active Duty Military Personnel to purchase homes in higher cost areas of California and Washington at loan amounts more in sync with local housing prices. Qualified Vet’s can purchase up to $2M with zero money down in Bay Area counties such as San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa as well as Los Angeles and Orange county.  In fact – with current rules – you can purchase a home with your VA Home Loan Benefit up to $2m with zero down anywhere we lend -the only limitations are what you can afford.

Some examples of the new VA Loan Limits in California are:  Veterans in Los Angeles, Orange County, Brea, Pasadena, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, and Long Beach may qualify for a 100% VA Jumbo loan up to $2m.   San Diego County cities including San Diego, Oceanside, Chula Vista, El Cajon, Encinitas, Carlsbad, San Marcos, Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, and La Mesa   a Vet can borrow up up to $2m with no money down when buying a house.   San Jose Vets can go up to $2m with no money down VA Purchase Loan.  SF Bay Area Vets buying a home in San Francisco, Alameda, Oakland, Fremont, Contra Costa, Marin, San Mateo, Daly City, etc can qualify up to $2m for a 100% VA Jumbo Loan as well. This applies to Veterans with full entitlement available.  If you have partial entitlement, your maximum zero down VA loan will be reduced from the VA County Loan limit by the amount of your charged entitlement.  Please give us a call so we can help determine if your entitlement can be restored to full, giving you the most benefit for your next VA Loan.

We also offer VA Loans that exceed VA County Loan Limits for Veterans with partial entitlement available with the appropriate amount of Down payment on purchases, or equity on Refinances, with a max VA Jumbo Loan amount of $2.0M.

VanDyk Mortgage is a proud VA Lender serving many states including California, Colorado, Texas, Tennessee,  Washington, and more.

Reminder – No maximum VA Loan Limit for Veterans with full entitlement available.  Of course you have to show adequate income to make the payments, but the ceiling is individual now.
