Ownership Resources

Resort communities tend to have higher land, labor, and material costs that contribute to overall higher housing costs. The benefits of living near work are many: less impact to the environment by reduced auto emissions, more free time for family and recreation, more time to participate in community activities. If you hope to live near your workplace in a resort, you’ll need to make budgetary judgments on what you realistically can afford.

The Housing Authority has several missions: to help people obtain safe, decent, energy-efficient rental and for-sale housing, and to guide prospective homeowners and current residents to home-buyer counseling and mortgage loan products.

Creating a personal or household budget is a good exercise in deciding whether you are ready to make the commitment to leap from rental housing to qualifying for a mortgage loan.  The lenders listed below can help you pre-qualify as a buyer, so you may better purchase housing appropriate for you.
