Max 100% Limit – $453,100

Can a Vet borrower more than the Delaware VA Loan Limits?

Veterans who are able to receive a certificate of eligibility can apply for a VA loan up to the maximum VA loan Limit for 100% financing.  Delaware Veterans can borrower more than the $453,100 limit but are required to put down at least 25% of the difference.  For example if a Veteran is purchasing a home in Delaware for $550,00, the Vet can borrower up to 100% financing at $453,100.   The difference between the purchase of $550,00 and $453,100, the Veteran must put down 25% of this difference.  See example below:

Purchase Price – $550,000

Maximum 100% Limit – $453,100

Difference – $96,900

25% of the Difference – $24,225 (Required Down Payment for VA loan)

Total Delaware VA Loan – $525,775  (95.6% Financing)

So in this case the Veteran can borrower about the Delaware VA Loan Limit of $453,100 and can get a 95.6% financing on a $550,000 purchase with a VA loan.
