Financial Information
| Payment Range | Estimated Cash Contribution | |
| Available Unit | $1,760-3,600 | $6,250 |
This home is priced as low as $250,000; the estimated all-inclusive monthly payments for this home will be between $1,760-3,600. Habitat requires our homebuyers to finance the purchase of their home with a mortgage. This payment range includes mortgage payment, estimated homeowner’s insurance, and estimated HOA dues (this home is exempt from property taxes). Please see HOA section below for more details.
Your specific monthly payment will be based on your income and household size. Homebuyers must show that they can afford this payment without being cost-burdened. For most households, this means earning a combined $70,440 or more per year. If your total household income is below this threshold, but you have significant funds to contribute towards your cash contribution, you may still qualify. If you are unsure, you are still encouraged to apply!
Applicants must show that they have at least $6,250 for the minimum required cash contribution at the time of applying. Your exact cash contribution may be higher depending on your specific financial situation. Additionally, if you have over $26,250 in liquid assets*, you must contribute all but $20,000 of your liquid assets towards your cash contribution. For example, if you have $36,250 in savings, you would need to contribute $10,250, keeping $20,000 in your savings.
*”Liquid assets” means money that you have immediate access to in accounts such as checking & savings accounts, or money market accounts that you can withdraw from without penalty. This does not include money in stocks, bonds, IRAs, 401ks, life insurance, annuities, or physical assets.
| Household Size | Maximum Income Limit (80% AMI) |
|---|---|
| 1 | $81,700 |
| 2 | $93,350 |
| 3 | $105,000 |
| 4 | $116,650 |

The Bigger Picture
Why Affordable Homeownership Matters
Across Washington state, housing costs continue to outpace incomes. Today, more than half of renter households and nearly one in four homeowner households are considered cost burdened, meaning they spend an unsustainable portion of their income on housing.
In King County, the challenge is especially acute. As of May 2025, the median price of a single-family home reached $1.03 million. With a typical 20% down payment, a household would need an annual income of roughly $250,000 to afford homeownership — putting it out of reach for many working families.
As housing costs rise, many neighbors face displacement, pushing them farther from jobs, schools, and the communities they call home. At the same time, construction costs continue to climb, and the region faces a severe shortage of affordable housing options.
The Housing Continuum
The housing continuum illustrates how different housing options are supported over time. Emergency shelter, transitional housing, and rental housing typically rely on ongoing subsidies to remain affordable year after year. Habitat for Humanity’s work sits at a different point on the continuum: affordable homeownership.
Through a one-time subsidy, Habitat homes are made accessible upfront and then remain permanently affordable, allowing homeowners to build stability and equity without requiring continued public subsidy. This model creates long-term affordability while opening the door for future households to do the same.
