Steve is partially correct! Another factor is the construction restrictions. Any new construction must be inspected by VA approved inspectors during several stages. If the construction does not meet VA standards, it must be ripped out and made to qualify. Obviously, this would be too tedious and restrictive for TV. Many other builders don't build if you are getting a VA loan. I believe it is still true that once a new home is at least one year old, it may qualify for VA but will still be subject to passing a VA appraisal. As restrictive as this sounds, it is meant to protect a veteran from poor construction techniques! You may buy pre-owned via VA loan.
