Military Homebuyers Take Different Paths

Military homebuyers are dominating the housing market—with active-duty service members and veterans taking wildly different paths to homeownership. Active-duty buyers, younger and often relocating for jobs, are moving hundreds of miles away and snapping up big suburban homes, many with kids. Veterans, older and usually repeat buyers, prioritize proximity to family and friends, often buying without kids. Both groups heavily rely on VA loans, with many securing homes with zero down payment—a legacy benefit dating back to 1944. Interestingly, older veterans make up the bulk of homebuying vets, while younger millennial vets are far less represented. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
