Affordable for-sale housing

 

For-sale affordable housing assistance programs

 

The Housing Commission has programs to help buyers purchase below-market rate homes. Built by private sector developers meeting City of San Diego affordability requirements, these homes are available at reduced purchase prices.

 

Note, in most cases, you don’t have to be a first-time homebuyer to purchase for-sale affordable homes as long as you do not receive any financial assistance through other Housing Commission programs. Note, a “first-time home buyer” is defined as someone who has not owned real estate in the last three years.

 

Note, in addition to newly constructed units, buyers may also purchase For-Sale Affordable Homes when they are resold by the original buyer. If you are interested in purchasing a resale home, please complete and return the prequalification worksheet. Your name will then be placed on an interest list and we will contact you when an affordable unit is being resold if you appear to meet the eligibility criteria.

 

Click here for more information about purchase assistance for below-market-rate homes (and see list below). Currently, there are a limited number of For-sale affordable homes.  As more homes become available, information will be posted here.
