How to Search the VA Condo List
Open the VA Condo Report
Use the button above to go to the VA's official condo search.
Search by Name or Location
Enter the condo project's name, or search by city, state, or ZIP code. Projects often use a legal name that's different from the name on the sign.
Check the Status
A status of Accepted means the project is approved for VA loans. Other statuses mean it isn't approved right now.
Confirm With Your Lender
Ask your lender and agent to confirm the approval before you write an offer.
What If the Condo Isn't Approved?
The HOA or your lender can submit the project to the VA for review. The VA looks at the condo's legal documents, budget, and insurance. It can take weeks and isn't guaranteed, so if you're on a tight timeline, it's usually easier to focus on projects that are already approved. Ask me early, and I'll help you check approval status before you fall in love with a unit.
