Tomorrow: September 9 at 11:45 a.m.–1:00 p.m.!!!!

For many people, owning a home can feel out of reach—but it may be more possible than you think.
Shanty Creek Resort is excited to host Habitat for Humanity Grand Traverse Region for a free lunch-and-learn about new affordable homeownership opportunities in Kalkaska. This event is open to members of the local community.

Bellaire Center Ballroom – Lakeview Hotel
Join us for pizza, cold beverages, and an informative conversation about:
· Who may qualify for a Habitat home
· How the homeownership process works
· Affordable, low-interest mortgage options
· How to take the first step and apply

Habitat is building new three-bedroom townhomes in downtown Kalkaska. The Habitat team will be available to answer questions and help attendees better understand this potential path to owning a home. There is no obligation—just an opportunity to learn what may be possible for you or someone you know. Space is limited, so please register in advance at www.habitatgtr.org/shanty.

🏠🌳Why buy a Habitat home instead of buying on the open market?🏠🌳

Habitat’s Homeownership Program was created for people who are financially ready for homeownership but face barriers in today’s competitive housing market.

Many of our buyers try the open market first, only to find themselves:
• Outbid by offers well above asking price (sometimes by cash buyers)
• Unable to find a home within their budget
• Finding only homes that need significant repairs
• Without a down payment.

Habitat Grand Traverse Region can help:
• We work with several partners, so qualified buyers do not need a down payment.
• Regardless of the value of the home, we make the payment affordable for your budget.
• Unlike the open market, our buyers aren’t competing against one another.
