City of Lakes Community Land Trust

Description: The CLCLT offers condos, townhomes and single-family homes for sale at below-market prices for qualified buyers. Only households at or below 80% of Metropolitan Median Income (MMI) are eligible to purchase a Community Land Trust home. Given funder requirements, some CLCLT homes are only available to households earning less than 60% MMI or 50% MMI (see CLCLT website for details).

The land trust model allows buyers to purchase homes that they otherwise would not have been able to afford and allows them to receive all of the benefits of homeownership, including mortgage interest deductions. Upon sale of the home, the CLCLT resale formula gives the CLCLT homeowner 100% of their earned equity (the amount they have paid down on their mortgage) plus 25% of any market equity (the change in market value for their home). This allows the home to stay affordable for future buyers.

Visit CLCLT’s website to see the list of available homes.

“A few of the reasons I love Dayton’s Bluff: eagles building a nest in the tree across the street; the breathtaking views of downtown; immediate access to hiking and biking trails; two minutes to the Farmers Market; eclectic architecture; and engaged and involved neighbors.”
