We rehab homes throughout Hamilton County to provide lower-cost options for home buyers. Our homes are move-in ready and feature new appliances, systems, and/or roofs to ensure buyers are not encumbered with large, unexpected expenses in their first few years of homeownership.
Bold Pathways, our 18-month impact report, highlights The Port’s work from January 2021 – June 2022 to transform unproductive real estate for job creation, homeownership, and thriving neighborhoods.
We start with a vacant, blighted home. These homes in otherwise thriving neighborhoods drag property values down and put additional strain on limited municipal resources. The Hamilton County Landbank and the National Community Stabilization Trust are a source of many of our homes.
We detail the work needed to rehab each house in an RFP and solicit responses from general contractors. Our rehab process is thorough – from the floor to the roof – and everything in between. We check in on progress regularly to make sure work is on time and to our standards.
The HURC makes it a priority to upgrade appliances and systems to ensure buyers don’t encounter major and expensive repairs in their first few years of homeownership. We update homes with current amenities and color palettes that future homeowners desire.
Our homes are listed on the MLS after comps are pulled and a market rate price is established. Homes attract a lot of interest from neighbors and friends and are often on the market for a short period of time before a contract is signed.
