Community Development Affects Downtown Raleigh Real Estate

Community Development Affects Downtown Raleigh Real Estate

5/13/2009 - Sarah Tingen What do you think about this?

The City of Raleigh is "aquiring" rental homes downtown through a City Owned Housing program and is subsidizing rental rates!

The rates for the housing are averaging around $350-$500.

The City has an inventory of 170 homes and continues to ensure that reduced rent and "forgivable loans" will be available downtown.

Some questions to consider are:

• Will this affect property values?
• Will the scarcity of purchasable housing make rents go up and house values appreciate?
• Will the presense of low income tenants promote crime?
• Will there be a lack of "homeownership pride" and therefore neighborhood deterioration?
• Will the community revitalization promote faster downtown growth?

If you make less than $26,200 (average Realtor® salary is 25k), you can get a newly renovated home downtown for below average rent!
