Thus, Q4 of FY2021 is considered July 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021.

Now, let’s see how the beautiful state of Hawaii is doing!

VA Purchase Loan Volume

VA Purchase Loans offer U.S. veterans and military service members the opportunity to become Hawaii homeowners using their VA home loan benefits.

Since home prices are high in Hawaii, it’s important to know that the VA loan limit for Oahu and all of the Hawaiian islands for 2021 is NO LIMIT for VA buyers with full entitlement. That means if you get pre-approved for a two million dollar home, then you can buy one with no money down using your VA loan.

The VA Purchase Loan Volume in Hawaii for the Q4 of FY2021 is:

  • Total Purchase Loans: 935 (compared to 894 in Q4 of FY2020)
  • Loan Amount Avg – Purchase: $734,473 (compared to $657,249 in Q4 of FY2020)
  • Total Loan Amount – Purchase: $686,731,907 (compared to $587,580,799 in Q4 of FY2020)

VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (VA IRRRL) Volume

VA Interest Rate Reduction Refinance Loan (IRRRL – you can pronounce it “Earl”) allows VA mortgage holders to seize upon current low interest rates and refinance their existing home loans.

The VA IRRRL Volume in Hawaii for the Q4 of FY2021 is:

  • Total IRRRL Loans: 871 (compared to 2,113 in Q4 of FY2020)

VA Cash-Out Refinance Loan Volume

A VA Cash-Out Refinance (also called VA Equity Cash-Out) gives borrowers an opportunity to take cash out of their home equity or refinance a non-VA loan into a VA-backed loan. Taking cash out of home equity may help to pay off debt, pay for school, make home improvements, or take care of other needs.
