About Our Homes
A typical new house has about 1,200 square feet of finished living space. Most homes have three bedrooms and one bathroom. Habitat uses green building practices to make homes and their utilities affordable. Homes are built with volunteers led by our Construction Manager.
What does it cost?
The value of each home is determined by a third-party appraiser and the home is sold at Fair Market Value to the homebuyer(s). Through various loan programs and partnerships, Habitat structures an affordable mortgage. Homeowners make regular monthly mortgage payments.
Habitat becomes the lender/bank after closing, we are not a landlord. We remain a source of support and information, and offer help as needed or when requested (ex: sharing reminders to file for property tax refunds).
