The company, according to Mayberry, strives to create comfortable financial mediums for those seeking home ownership. According to YouGov, many millennials and Gen Z members between 18-25 and 26-41 prefer home ownership over renting. However, the biggest roadblock is affordability. Mayberry Homes seeks to combat that through the company’s recent contract with the City of Houston. Mayberry Homes held their groundbreaking ceremony on March 13th commemorating the partnership.

“So,when I reflect on the groundbreaking, it was certainly a milestone with an overwhelming turnout despite the shift in weather,” Mayberry detailed.
He admitted that he didn’t think anybody would attend saying, “to my surprise, not only were all the chairs filled, which were 80 chairs in total, but about 40 people standing outside and around the tent, observing in support of this collaborative effort.”

The City of Houston is set to forgive the $2 million loan from the Uptown Tax Iincrement Reinvestment Zone Series 2021 Affordable Homes Fund to finance the infrastructure for the mixed income development. However, what does this mean for potential homeowners?
Mayberry says the forgivable loan from the city will be coupled with the subsidized land purchased received from the Midtown TIRZ.
“When you couple both of those subsidies, it then enables us to go in and develop the land, build and sell homes at 40% to 50% below market rate. This allows prospective homeowners confidence to afford an opportunity to stay in the area that otherwise, they may not have been able to afford,” he said.
Mayberry admits that home building projects in inner-city neighborhoods has its own contingencies that often do not providing quality, affordable homes in our surrounding neighborhoods buildng toward the future.” the City of Houston and Midtown TIRZ partnership. We are not in the business of gentrification, but we do seek to revitalize these historic areas returning them to their former glory while making it attractive and affordable for prospective homebuyers within the community.” he detailed.
Home ownership is still a challenge for those unaware of how to get started, but Mayberry Homes is committed to debunking naivety for prospective buyers, “Buyers at 80% AMI or below will be eligible for a large subsidy from the City of Houston. So that’s going to help offset the high interest rates that are realized today with seemingly no end in sight,” he described.
“While interest rates continue to go up, we are happy that the city has downpayment assistance available for prospective home buyers that otherwise wouldn’t be able to qualify.”
Mayberry wants people to believe in affordability with flexible options and security.
“We provide a quality, affordable home at a truly affordable value, with the help of the City of Houston, Midtown TIRZ, and other community partners,” he detailed. “This gives us longevity, and creates opportunities of a bright future within reach.” attract mainstream builder investments in established, older neighborhoods.
