Covenant Homes
Nantucket Housing Needs Covenant Program
One of Housing Nantucket’s central programs is the Nantucket Housing Needs Covenant Program. The Covenant Program offers home ownership opportunities to moderate income year-round islanders (those earning below 150% of median income). The Covenant Program has created 115 permanently affordable homes on the island, and counting.
The Covenant Program allows a property owner with more than one residential dwelling on a parcel to sell one of those dwellings at a permanently affordable price. (The program also allows an owner to sell off the development rights for a portion of the parcel.) The sale and resale of the covenant home is subject to a price cap. This price cap is based on median income (as determined by HUD) and current interest rates. It is reset once a year in January.
The 2024 Maximum Sales Price Cap is $702,465.
Covenant Buyers must meet residency requirements, earn below $204,450 per year, must have less than $351,233 in unrestricted assets, and may not own residential Nantucket real estate at the time of purchase.
The 2024 transaction fee is $3,512, paid by the seller.
