What to know about getting a mortgage in Virginia
Virginia splits into the high-cost Northern Virginia market — where elevated county loan limits apply and jumbo pricing matters — and the rest of the state, where prices and carrying costs are moderate. The state’s large military population makes VA loans unusually common, and lenders here tend to price them aggressively.
The 2026 conforming loan limit in most Virginia counties is $832,750 for a single-family home (designated high-cost counties go higher). Loans above that are jumbo — expect tighter underwriting and different pricing.
The borrower-quoted offers above were submitted by real Virginia residents in the last 30 days. We score every submission for fraud signals before publishing, and verified offers carry a verified badge after we OCR the Loan Estimate.
The credit-union rates are taken from each lender's public rate sheet on the effective date shown. We don't take affiliate fees, sell contributor data, or rank lenders by commission. The full methodology is on the methodology page.

Frequently asked: mortgages in Virginia
Straight answers, grounded in the data on this page.
What is the best mortgage rate in Virginia right now?+
The lowest conventional 30-year rate we're tracking in Virginia this week is 6.125% from PenFed Credit Union, 0.42% below the U.S. average of 6.550%. It's a real posted rate, not a teaser — your actual rate depends on your credit, down payment, and loan type.
How much do you need to put down for a house in Virginia?+
The median home price in Virginia is about $385,000, so 20% down is roughly $77,000. Many buyers put down far less: conventional loans go as low as 3%, FHA 3.5%, and VA/USDA can be 0% for those who qualify (with mortgage insurance when you put down under 20%).
Which credit unions can Virginia residents join for a mortgage?+
Virginia residents can currently get posted mortgage rates from Navy Federal Credit Union, PenFed Credit Union, TOWER Credit Union, and others. Many credit unions let anyone join through a small one-time association membership — each one's eligibility and exact join steps are on its page.
What first-time homebuyer programs does Virginia have?+
Virginia's housing finance agency is the Virginia Housing. Virginia Housing offers first-mortgage programs with down-payment assistance grants up to 2.5% of the price. These programs work through participating lenders, so you can (and should) still compare the program rate against the credit-union rates on this page.
What is the conforming loan limit in Virginia?+
For most Virginia counties the 2026 conforming loan limit is $832,750 for a single-family home (designated high-cost counties go higher). Loans above the limit are jumbo, which typically means tighter underwriting and different pricing.
Does RatePerch take referral fees from lenders in Virginia?+
No. We don't take affiliate or referral fees, sell contributor data, or rank lenders by commission. Borrower-quoted rates are submitted anonymously by real Virginia residents, and credit-union rates are copied straight from each lender's public rate sheet.
