FSH Direct Sale Homes

The Office of the Provost, Faculty Staff Housing (FSH) continues to offer on- and off-campus ground-leased homes for purchase via lottery. Periodically, homes listed but not sold via lottery are listed for Direct Sale.

Direct Sale Homes are offered on a “first come first served” basis to Eligible Faculty who:

Satisfy all of the Eligibility Criteria for the Direct Sale home; and
"Submit an Offer" for the home as outlined on the website for the home; and
"Complete the Purchase" of the home, as outlined on the website for the home.

Eligible Faculty may reserve only one FSH home at a time. Eligible Faculty who have a reservation or a contract on a single-family home are not eligible to participate in a FSH Direct Sale or FSH Lottery for another FSH home. This does not apply to those who have a reservation or a contract on a FSH condominium home. (updated May 23, 2019)

Notices

Reduced Interest Program - As a result of the University’s long-range planning process, the President and Provost have approved a change to the Reduced Interest Program (RIP) for faculty and clinician educators effective June 1, 2018. This change should help address the affordability challenges of first time buyers who purchase a home within the qualifying area.

The loan amount will increase from $100,000 to $300,000. All of the other terms and conditions of the loan program will remain the same, including the interest rate of zero percent. (updated June 1, 2018)

Building Homes and Jobs Act - In September 2017, the Governor signed the Building Homes and Jobs Act approved by the California legislature, which as of January 1, 2018, imposed a new fee in the amount of $75.00 to be collected by each county for every real estate instrument required by law to be recorded. This fee is commonly known as the affordable housing fee.

This fee will now be charged on most of the documents prepared by Faculty Staff Housing related to real estate transactions requiring recording with the county (e.g. a Home Improvement Project that requires a Notice of Non-Responsibility, a lease change, etc.). If Faculty Staff Housing records the documents, the fee will be collected. (updated February 20, 2018, revised October 3, 2018)
