WHAT IS THE ESSEX OWNOPTION PROGRAM?

Essex is offering a new path to homeownership that is affordable, realistic and attainable. Called the OwnOption program, it allows you to lease a home with an option to purchase. What makes this program unique is that you are building equity with every payment. Plus, the purchase price is locked in for the term of the lease, which is 3 years. At that point, you can either qualify and assume the current loan, or apply for a new one. You can select a new home, or a quality used home in the area you want to live. It is that simple!

​
