SIX HOMECORP TOWNHOMES
​
In partnership with HOMECorp, the Essex Community Land Trust is pleased to announce 6 newly constructed townhomes that will be made permenantly affordable by the ECLT at the time of sale. There are 4 two-bedroom units and 2 three-bedroom units. Half of each bedroom type will be set aside for low-income households, while the balance will be available to moderate income households. If you are interested in applying to purchase an affordable home at Talbot Village, please click the link below to access the Preliminary Application as soon as possible and mail it directly to: Piazza & Associates, Inc., 216 Rockingham Row, Princeton, NJ 08540. Qualified Sandy impacted applicants2 will be given a priority to purchase these affordable homes. After Sandy impacted applicants, applicants who live or work in COAH region 2 (Union, Essex, Warren and Hunterdon Counties) will be given priority. Also, because there are no one-bedroom homes, preference will be given to households with more than one person. Within three weeks, you will receive a letter of determination with regard to your preliminary eligibility for the program. A random selection process to determine the priority order of the applications will be held. After that, applications will be processed on a “first-come, first-served” basis. When a home (of the size and type for which you were prequalified) becomes available, you will be notified in priority order. At that time, HOMECorp, on behalf of the developer, will send you the Final Application for Affordable Housing, which will require you to document your income and household membership. Maximum income, homebuyer counseling, ability to obtain financing and other requirements will apply.

Use the mortgage calculator to calculate the monthly cost of each home. We suggest using 5% as the interest rate and $1,500 for the annual insurance just to provide cushion. These two numbers vary and depend upon your mortgage company, the market, and the insurance company. Calculator may not be exact.

ECLT homeownership is only attainable to those who are income qualified. The below income levels are determined yearly by the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development. These levels are what the ECLT must use to determine eligibility, at 80% AMI. Furthermore, the monthly cost of the home must not exceed 39% of your gross monthly income. To calculate the estimated monthly cost of the home, please use the mortgage calculator on the right. To calculate 39% of your income use the percentage calculator below.
