The Killeen market

What it costs to buy in Killeen — and how to finance it.

Killeen is structurally anchored by Fort Cavazos, one of the largest US Army installations in the world, creating a permanent, rotation-driven demand base insulated from civilian cycles; VA-eligible buyers are a disproportionate share and 0%-down VA financing dominates.

The loan has to fit the Killeen picture. In Bell County, a Killeen one-unit purchase conforms up to 2026’s $832,750 baseline for Killeen files. Under that $832,750 line — where most Killeen purchases sit — conventional, FHA, and VA (primary) all stay in play. FHFA resets these limits each year; we verify before we quote.
