Attainable Homes means home ownership for more Calgarians

If your household income is within $53,000 - $80,000 per year and you qualify for a mortgage, home ownership may be closer than you think!

Attainable Homes Calgary, an initiative of the City of Calgary, can provide you with up to 10% of the down payment for a new home. Not only that, but you can purchase the home at a deeply discounted price thanks to the City’s ability to buy in volume. Right now, Calgarians who qualify for the program can purchase a brand-new condo in the prime NW community of Beacon Heights for as low as $182,000.

Attainable Homes is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the City of Calgary that was created to put home ownership within reach for thousands of hard-working Calgarians.

I’ve heard from many people who say that this seems too good to be true. It is true. The only unfortunate part is that it won’t last forever.

While Attainable Homes will continue to provide the down payment to qualifying buyers, the pricing of the units in Beacon Heights is only guaranteed until June 15. The property is under construction now and is scheduled to be completed in early 2012.

And these are nice places—units have granite counter tops, black appliances, ceramic tile flooring and heated underground parking.

So if you think you might just qualify to own your own home through Attainable Homes, apply online right now.
