Another 167 residences are planned at Aspen’s Burlingame Ranch, a worker housing complex. The city is trying to gauge buyer interest in the units.
By the close of last week, 155 people had signed a reservations list for future units at Burlingame — a number that might change by Friday, when Chris Everson, city affordable housing project manager, prepares a summary on the Burlingame pre-sale effort for the council’s July 18 work session.
Of the 155, 50 people had qualified as buyers through the Aspen/Pitkin County Housing Authority — a step that means documenting their local work history and providing detailed financial information regarding their income, assets and debts.
The city has not directed those who sign up on the pre-sales list to prequalify with a bank — a move that would give the council some assurance that workers who say they’d like to buy a Burlingame unit actually could qualify for a home loan.
