Application Overview:
This housing lottery is for the purchase of deed-restricted single-family homes limited to 80% and 100% Area Median Income levels in the Anvil Mountain Subdivision. The estimated completion date of the home builds is between October 2024 and Fall 2025 - subject to change. This application round includes two homes restricted to an 80% income limit and one restricted to a 100% income limit. See the chart below of the 2023 San Juan County Income Limits. Use the SJDA Income Calculator (Excel Sheet) to calculate your income level.
Step by Step Instructions:
- Calculate your income level using the Income Calculator. This tool provides an estimate of your income level. If your application wins the lottery, please be aware you must provide SJDA copies of tax returns, bank account statements, and other sensitive information that allows us to verify your income level. During the initial application process, please do not share any sensitive information. Please note you must maintain your income level eligibility between the time you enter the lottery and the time of closing. Additionally, talk with your lender to understand how you must maintain your credit score from the pre-approval letter to the closing time.
If your income level is below 100% AMI, you may proceed to complete this application.
- Review deed restrictions based on what AMI level you qualify for. For example, if you have an income level of 100% or lower, review the Attainable Lot Deed-Restriction LotXX_100AMI. If you have an income level of 80% or lower, review the Attainable Lot Deed Restriction LotXX_80AMI. Be sure you are eligible and comfortable with being subject to the restrictions before proceeding with the application. Example floor plans for review are available below. Floor plans are subject to change based on the number of family members and AMI level.
FloorPlans A-715 or FloorPlans A-745
- Contact a lender and get a mortgage pre-approval letter. Recent guideline changes with the Federal National Mortgage Association make it more difficult for lenders to navigate the loan terms for deed-restricted homes. Therefore, SJDA strongly recommends working with HomesFund approved lenders and/or the Colorado Housing and Finance Authority (CHFA) approved lenders to find a mortgage product tailored to the purchase of affordable housing. Be sure to share with them the Deed Restriction of the Unit you qualify for and the Anvil Affordable Sale Prices of the homes.
*Note: if you win the lottery, be prepared to take the HomesFund Homeownership Class - this course is a requirement to receive a loan through HomesFund.
