Pontedera is an affordable condominium project developed by HomeSight, a non-profit housing developer and mortgage broker. Currently, Pontedera is approximately 70% completed with occupancy slated for 2010.
The homes are priced to appeal to first-time homebuyers, many of whom earn less than 80% of the area’s median income. For those earning less than 80% of the median income, HomeSight can provide up to $70,000 in assistance that is repaid when the buyer sells or refinances. For buyers earning up to 120% of median income, HomeSight can provide a second mortgage to eliminate the need for mortgage insurance. Finally, Pontedera is the only condominium development to offer the city’s 12-year property tax exemption; available to buyers of one-bedroom units earning up to 100% of median income or up to 120% for two- and three-bedroom units.
The development is conveniently located close to dowtown at South Dearborn and Hiawatha Place South and offers one-, two- and three-bedroom homes plus live/work units.
