Can the home be sold? 

Habitat homes can be sold.  Like any home, there are times when it is more advantageous and times when it is less advantageous to sell.  Generally, the longer a homeowner stays in the Habitat home, the better the outcome of selling the homes. 

Habitat homes will be sold with a Right to Repurchase and Shared Appreciation Agreement. This means that the owner must offer Habitat the right to repurchase the home before it can be sold on the open market. A Shared Appreciation agreement gives Habitat shared equity in the appreciated value of the home. This agreement allows Habitat to be a faithful steward of the time and money donated to ensure that Habitat homes stay affordable.
