Who is the Methow Housing Trust?
The Methow Housing Trust is a community land trust whose homeownership program bridges the gap between modest local wages and the increasing cost of purchasing a home in the Methow Valley.
Methow Housing Trust Neighborhoods

(9 homes to be completed 2022-2023)
Up to 50 Winthrop units planned for development over the next 9 years!
Twisp: Canyon Street (13 homes)

How does homeownership through a community land trust work?
Local residents purchase the house and the Methow Housing Trust retains ownership of the land so that the house will remain affordable for future generations of Methow Valley homebuyers. MHT homes earn a guaranteed amount of equity every year, that is passed on to the homeowner.
When a homeowner goes to sell their home, it is sold to the next eligible applicant in the MHT waitpool.
