Homes that last: A study of homes that resell
Champlain Housing Trust, America's longest running non-profit offering permanently affordable homes, has released a study following the impact of their programs on past, current and future homeowners.
Among their findings were:
- Among homeowners they were able to track, 67.4% of them bought market-rate homes within six months of selling their CHT home.
- Affordability not only continued between successive generations of homebuyers, but improved - even when the favorable effect of falling mortgage interest rates was removed.
