Where Hawaii veterans are buying.
With the $0-down VA benefit, a typical Hawaii buyer in the $892,000 range can move in with only closing costs and prepaids — no down payment and no monthly PMI. The VA funding fee, unless waived, may be financeable into the loan.
Veterans with full entitlement have no VA loan limit — the $1,873,675 2026 FHFA conforming loan limit figure only matters for borrowers with reduced or partial entitlement, or when calculating remaining bonus entitlement. A borrower with full VA entitlement does not have a VA loan limit, subject to lender approval, ability to repay, and the appraised value or purchase price. The FHFA one-unit county conforming loan limit matters primarily when calculating remaining bonus entitlement for a borrower who does not have full entitlement, and it may affect whether a down payment is required.
Widows and widowers of HI veterans qualify too.
An unremarried surviving spouse of a Hawaii veteran who died in service, from a service-connected disability, or who is receiving VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) may qualify for the VA home loan — no down payment, no monthly PMI, and a funding-fee exemption (closing costs, prepaids, and escrows may still apply). Two statutory exceptions preserve eligibility after remarriage (age 57+ on/after Dec 16, 2003, or a terminated remarriage).
Many surviving spouses who may be eligible have never been told the benefit exists. The way to find out is a VA eligibility determination. Your Certificate of Eligibility (VA Form 26-1817) is issued through the Regional Loan Center that serves HI.
