Land Trust Homeownership: Example of a Resale

How is the resale price of a home determined? The price of the house is tied to the appreciation in Area Median Income.
  Example:
  Initial Median Income:  $74,600 (annual income for a family of four at 100% of AMI in 2004-05)
    What If:
    Annual change in Incomes = 4%
Could be more, could be less
10 years later
      Median Income would be: $110,426
    (48% total increase – due to compounding)
Initial Purchase Price: $300,000
    If
Change in Median Income = 48%
Then:
Maximum Price = $444,073
Total Appreciation = $144,073
  Total equity = Appreciation + Debt Reduction + Down payment
   
Avg. Rate of Income Increase
