If you, like so many Americans, are looking for a starter home, you are probably feeling pretty frustrated right now. Prices are up, interest rates are high, and a shrunken inventory means many buyers simply can’t afford to buy a starter home. On top of that, owners looking to sell starter homes are finding themselves stuck, unable to sell without having to take on a much higher interest rate than what they’re paying now.A home is much more than just an address where someone receives mail. A home is a stabilizing force in our society. A home allows us to put down roots and become a part of a community. Home ownership is so crucial to our identities that becoming a homeowner is considered the crowning achievement of the American Dream.
Yet for too many people, owning a home doesn’t seem like it will ever be attainable. And that is a problem not just for people priced out of the housing market. It’s a problem society-wide. It prevents us from achieving goals that everyone shares.
As Michigan State Housing Development Authority (MSHDA) Chief Executive Officer Amy Hovey tells Michigan Advance, “If we want economic growth, if we want educational attainment, if we want folks to be happy, if we want crime to go down, it’s all dependent on people having stable quality housing.”
As Hovey points out in the same article, the lack of housing in Michigan isn’t just a problem for people with low incomes. Professionals in our workforce like teachers and police officers are feeling the pain of the housing crisis.
At Creek Valley Properties, we are committed to being part of the solution to the workforce housing challenges across Michigan. Our solution lies in factory-built precision homes which, when installed on land, provide middle-income Americans with a genuine opportunity to own a home.
The everyday heroes who form the backbone of our communities: nurses, teachers, firefighters, police officers, second and third shift workers at General Motors or Amazon, young professionals, young couples starting their careers, and everyone in between are the people we strive to support.
By offering high-quality, affordable housing options, we are not only addressing the housing crisis, we are also empowering middle-income individuals to secure a stable and comfortable future. At Creek Valley Properties, we believe that everyone deserves a place to call home, and we are proud to contribute to making this a reality for more Michiganders.
At Creek Valley Properties, we know that buying a home is a major life decision. We’d love to help you find the right manufactured home for you. Call or text us at 248-495-8664 or reach out via email to jibe@creekvalleyproperties.net. We look forward to working with you.
