Why Would You Want to  Purchase a CLT Home?

1. You are purchasing a renovated or new home at a lower price than its market value, typically 20% or lower.

2.  You may need to put very little down or nothing on the house if your bank’s appraisal determines  that the loan to value is 80% or less.

3.  You are typically paying less for your mortgage, taxes, and insurance than you would a rental.

4.  You are building wealth for your family by steadily paying your monthly mortgage; ie gaining equity in your home that can be used to purchase another home or help with important expenses such as tuition or training programs. You will share the appreciation so that the house will remain affordable for the next buyer.

5.  Your children have a home, not moving from one rental to another.

6.  You are purchasing a home with a 99-year lease on the land.  You use the land as if you own it.  You can put a garage on it, plant trees, put up fences, keep pets and install children’s playgrounds. The purpose of the lease is to retain affordability to all future buyers.

7.  Under most circumstances, your heirs can inherit the property.

8.  CLT home ownership provides people with increased stability and security.

9.  You are joining a community of homeowners with the support of an organization that exists to help you become a successful homeowner.

10.  As a CLT homebuyer you will receive our New Neighbor bundle of useful gifts for your new home.
