Affordable Housing: The Greatest Challenge for Loveland

Recent statistics and data collected demonstrate that one of the biggest challenges currently facing the authorities in the city of Loveland is housing affordability.

In recent years, prices in the city and throughout the state of Colorado have reached such significant increases that the possibility of buying a home has become an almost impossible dream to achieve. These high prices are turning the real estate market into something so exclusive that it can only be reached by a few or only those with millionaire incomes.

The shortage of affordable housing is demanding more opportunities from the market and official authorities for people with middle or low incomes, as families with these incomes have been searching for affordable property for years and have not been able to achieve anything.

Both city officials and the Loveland Housing Authority, along with real estate developers, are creating methods to increase the availability of affordable housing, eliminate obstacles to affordability, and create real and lasting change that aligns with the wages and incomes of the general population.

To begin making housing more affordable, it is important first to achieve ease and unanimity when a person applies for financing or a mortgage loan from different companies, banks, or any type of mortgage lender; normally, all handle different initiatives, forms of loans, and interest rates that often differ from one another.

Expert agents point out that in Loveland, what most affects housing affordability is more the financing than the high prices of the homes; therefore, it is very important for the authorities to start by properly managing loans to control and more appropriately address the high demand for housing.

The Loveland Housing Authority has recently partnered with a major construction company, which has committed to developing affordable housing on one of its properties. According to the signed agreement, the company will allocate a percentage of construction for people who earn less than the average income and are eligible to purchase a home.

To ensure that the implemented affordable housing measures are lasting, people eligible to obtain a home from the program must sign a restricted deed. This type of deed determines that the home has restrictions in terms of its price for future sales.

Finally, the authorities and other people interested in solving the housing affordability problem in the city of Loveland state that they are also working on reducing fees. Their effort is dedicated to finding the most appropriate way to implement fees, and they believe these should be determined by the size of the property and not by fixed rates.
