The VA issued 4,650 interest rate reduction refinance loans in New Mexico in the 2025 fiscal year, totaling $1.6 billion, according to figures provided by the VA Home Loans Index.
This represents a 25.6% increase from 2024, when 3,876 loans totaling $1.3 billion were issued.
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.
