This guarantee lets lenders offer favorable terms: no minimum credit score is set by VA, no down payment is required, and no PMI. Borrowers pay a one-time funding fee to fund the programveteransunited.com; disabled vets and certain survivors pay $0 fee.

After a brief downturn, the residential property market rebounded strongly through 2025. August marked the seventh consecutive month of home price gains, with values rising +0.7% nationally for the month abc.net.au. Prices are now up ~4% year-on-year, and the median Australian dwelling costs about $849,000 abc.net.au michaelwest.com.au. This broad recovery has lifted nearly every region – in August, values climbed in every state except Tasmania michaelwest.com.au – and experts note it’s being driven by classic supply-demand imbalance. “Once again we are seeing a clear mismatch between available supply and demonstrated demand placing upwards pressure on values,” says Tim Lawless, research director at CoreLogic michaelwest.com.au. He notes home sales are tracking slightly above average, even as the number of properties for sale remains about 20% below typical levels for this time of year michaelwest.com.au. In short, buyers are back while many sellers stay on the sidelines, creating fierce competition for limited stock.
