When determining the future purchase price, several factors come into play:
1. Current Market Value: When selecting a home, we purchase the property, and the price is based on today’s market value or at the price that the seller has set.
2. Length of the Rent-To-Own term: Based on the area and property type, a conservative annual appreciation rate is determined based on historical market data. For instance, if the market data suggests an annualized appreciation rate of 7%~10%, we will use 4%~5% as the basis for our calculation. Depending on the length of the program (usually 2~4 years), the appreciation rate is then applied to calculate the future purchase price based on today’s closing value.
3. Approved mortgage amount from our Credit Team
Verification that the end purchase price will be within the expected approval mortgage budget in the future as provided by the mortgage expert.
Benefits of a pre-determined future purchase price:
– Stability and Predictability: By fixing the future purchase price, the problem of market volatility is removed, hence removing uncertainty on affordability in the future
– Predictable Down Payment: Fixed purchase price means a fixed down payment amount, eliminating the problem of trying to catch up with housing price
– Equity Building Opportunity: As the market appreciates above and beyond the pre-determined purchase price, the client can build equity through the program
