MISSION-DRIVEN HOMEOWNERSHIP DEVELOPMENT · GREATER SEATTLE

Homes Greater Seattle families can actually buy.

Clear Urban Development creates affordable homes for purchase, built efficiently without compromising quality, so more low-, moderate-, and middle-income households can own a home and keep it.

For Greater Seattle homeowners and partners who believe more quality homes should be within reach.

Why we build

Homeownership is slipping out of reach for too many working households.

In King County, buying the median-priced home takes roughly $214,000 in household income, far above the typical household’s ~$122,000. Clear Urban Development creates affordable homes for purchase: townhomes, plexes, and ADUs, built efficiently without compromising quality. That way more low-, moderate-, and middle-income households can own a home and keep it.

Read our why

The ~$214,000 figure is a Clear Urban Development estimate based on a 20% down payment, approximately 6.6% 30-year fixed rate, taxes and insurance, and housing costs at or below 30% of gross income. It is not a loan qualification or guarantee.

Our mission

Clear Urban Development creates affordable homes for purchase in Greater Seattle, built efficiently without compromising quality, so more low-, moderate-, and middle-income households can achieve and sustain homeownership.

The opportunity is personal

A zoning change is only the beginning.

A property’s potential depends on more than a headline unit count. Site conditions, local rules, design choices, costs, financing and your own goals all matter. We make those moving parts easier to understand before you commit to a direction.
