Deposit Schedule Coming Soon. Per Affordable Housing HHFDC units, most have been 5%. Buyers are able to make more deposits if desired.

The owner is required to be an owner occupant for 10 years. The buyback program gives the HHFDC the first option to purchase the property in the event of a sale or transfer during the first 10 years of ownership. Owner occupancy is a requirement during this period. The restriction automatically terminates at the end of 10 years from the recording date.

SAE is Shared Appreciation Equity. This is the sharing of the property’s net appreciation with the HHFDC in exchange for the buyer’s opportunity to purchase at below market prices. The SAE percentage is calculated prior to closing and once determined, does not change.

The SAE must be paid when the property is sold, transferred or rented. Owners also have the option of paying it off at any timeafter closing.

The HHFDC will require documentation to support the buyer’s application. Some examples are: current year tax returns, W-2, 2 months of paystubs, and a letter of pre-qualification from a Lender. Lenders will have different requirements to determine loan pre-qualification.

The formula is: Original Fair Market Value (determined by appraisal prior to closing), minus Original Purchase Price, divided by Original Fair Market Value, and rounded to the nearest one percent.

Affordable housing units must be used a primary residence for 10 years before renting it out.

The estimated maintenance fee is $0.50 per square foot.
