What is the allowed sales price of density bonus “for-sale” housing?
For homes reserved for sale to very low-, low-, and moderate-income buyers, the Commission uses a formula to establish the affordable sales prices. The formula, which limits monthly housing costs to approximately 30% of the maximum monthly income for the size of household assumed to reside in a particular unit (i.e., the number of bedrooms plus one), assumes a 10% down payment and considers the monthly mortgage payment(s), private mortgage insurance, property taxes, home owner’s insurance, and, if applicable, homeowner’s association dues.
