VA Buyers in North Port: What October 2026 Sales Show

Quick answer: In October 2026, 9 homes in North Port closed with VA financing, at a median sold price of $350,000 (range $303,100 to $430,000). 7 of the 9 were new construction (built 2025 or later). North Port is about 87 miles and 105 to 115 minutes from MacDill Air Force Base (MacDill AFB) with no traffic, so it fits retirees, Veterans and remote workers better than a daily commute.

I'm a Military Veteran, and I help service members, military spouses and Veterans buy from Tampa south to North Port. October's VA sales tell a clear story here: brand-new homes at some of the lowest VA prices in the region.

Why VA buyers picked North Port in October

• Price: a $350,000 median VA sale, with every sale between $303,100 and $430,000.
• New construction: 7 of 9 were built in 2025 or later, mostly on lots in the original Port Charlotte Subdivision.
• Sarasota County: file homestead and Veteran exemptions with the Sarasota County Property Appraiser.

The honest drive

From US-41 at Sumter Blvd, with no traffic (OpenStreetMap routing, checked Nov 1, 2026):

• MacDill AFB, Dale Mabry Gate: about 87 miles, 105 to 115 minutes
• Bay Pines VA: about 77 miles, 100 to 110 minutes
• James A. Haley Veterans' Hospital: about 91 miles, 110 to 120 minutes

Rush hour runs longer. If you're active duty and reporting to MacDill AFB every day, I'll also show you Parrish, about 65 to 75 minutes closer to Tampa, and the Lakewood Ranch area.

New construction on a VA loan

Builder sales reps represent the builder.

Bring me as your agent on your FIRST VISIT to any model or sales center. Many builders require your agent to register you on that first visit, or you can lose your own representation.

Builder incentives often require the builder's lender. Compare that offer with your own VA lender. Credits toward normal closing costs aren't capped by VA, but concessions like paying your funding fee or a temporary rate buydown count toward VA's 4% limit.

*Builder incentives change often. Contact us and we'll help you find what's available right now.

VA loan basics in one minute

• No down payment as long as the price isn't higher than the appraised value, and no PMI.
• No VA loan limit with full entitlement. Your lender decides what you qualify for.
• VA doesn't set a minimum credit score; lenders set their own.
• No funding fee if you receive VA compensation for a service-connected disability, among other exemptions.
• New construction needs a one-year builder warranty on VA Form 26-1859 or a 10-year insurance-backed warranty.
