Military Housing and Real Estate Discounts in NC
If you or someone you know has ever served with the United States Armed Forces and is considering a move to North Carolina, check out some of these discounts on North Carolina homes and housing services.
Some of the many discounts available for veterans, active service personnel, and retired military include:
-
Discounts on real estate commissions and fees.
-
Discounts on new homes and new custom homes.
-
Incentives around home loans and banking.
-
Discounts on apartments and rentals.
Real Estate Discounts - If you've been reassigned anywhere in North Carolina, or if you're a veteran or retired military and moving to North Carolina, check out these different sites that offer military discounts on relocation, rentals, or real estate.
Military.com - Can search by state using the key words "relocation", "real estate", or "homes" to find various North Carolina or national companies offering incentives. Free sign up to see full details of discounts. Check with each company - some promotions are for active duty only, some are for veterans, some include retired military and National Guard or Reserves.
ArmyTimes.com - A bit tougher to search on this site. But you can also search the Army Times classified section for homes for rent or for sale. May not be discounted, but could be some information on NC real estate.
MilitaryCoupons.com - Not much that I could find for real estate, but they do have a banking and loans category.
MilitaryNow.com - There's a lot of information here on housing discounts. Searches are fairly easy, with subcategories like Housing and Relocation, Homes, Moving, and Storage.
MilitaryAvenue.com - Military Avenue offers discount information sorted by Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corp, or Coast Guard base. So find the base that's closest to your destination in NC, and use that to search for local discounts. MilitaryAvenue.com has a pretty comprehensive list, including apartments and rentals, real estate, and relocation.
There's even a large list of Fayetteville area real estate agents. It may take a minute or two to find the incentive for each - click through for more information, then click on the "military reward" link.
Stanton Homes offers a 3% discount on any new home, for active duty and retired military and veterans. This applies to any home. Can be combined with other military discounts offered in partnership with the Stanton Homes for Heroes program, including discounts from Sears, Timberlake Cabinetry, The Home Center flooring, real estate agents, and more.
There are also some special programs available for veterans and disabled soldiers and their families. Here are a few of the housing programs available in North Carolina:
Homes for our Troops - Builds specially-adapted homes for severely disabled soldiers and their families. Homes have been completed in Lumberton, New Bern, Roxboro, and Fayetteville. A home is under construction in Waxhaw, NC. Donations of labor and materials are accepted.
Fisher House - These homes are built on the grounds of a base or VA hospital. There is no charge for families to stay in a Fisher House while an Armed Services member is given treatment, which can involve travel for specialized services. There is a home at Womack Army Medical Center, Ft. Bragg, with another in planning stages. Monetary donations are accepted, and volunteers are welcome.
Please check with the individual companies offering discounts to find their terms and requirements. Some offer only to active military, others may exclude National Guard and Reserves.
Real estate agents - if you offer a discount to military personnel, I'd suggest submitting it to these sites. They are go-to places for anyone in the military looking for a way to stretch their paycheck a little further.

There are discounts listed for a variety of different services - just look at the menu bar on the left side. If you offer a special rate or promotion for military, you can submit a free or paid listing to the site so that military families are aware of your offer.
Our Military people deserve additional incentives, discounts, promotions and buyer bonuses.
We feel strongly about our military families, and are doing as much as possible to support them, including offering Specially Adapted Housing options. A big thank you to all who have offered these kinds of discounts!
Penny: Good resource. This information is great for the military family. You went over the top to let the military community you support them and businesses support them as well. Keep up the great work, we military families appreciate the efforts others do for us.
Michelle - happy to help. There are many businesses that are willing to support military families - just wanted to make them a bit easier to find.
I wanted to know more about your company. Is this only for houses in NC or can i get these types of discounts anywhere? I am a veteran and I am trying to move to the Atlanta Ga area next year. I know that thre are discounts a veterans can get.
Thank You
Tammy Coakley
Tammy - Stanton Homes currently builds in the Raleigh metro area, including about a 50 mile radius. It does seem to be hard to find military discounts on homes. Have you tried the different "discount centers" that I included links to above? I'm sorry, but I'm not aware of the name of a particular builder in the Atlanta area that might offer a discount to Veterans. You may want to try asking some real estate agents in the area if they're aware of anything. Best of luck to you!
