Agents searching for Land Trust properties will now be able to easily identify Land Trust homes for sale. The new selection was added to help identify properties for sale that are part of the Central Ohio Community Land Trust (COCLT). The listing agent can now select “Land Trust” in the Additional Acceptance Conditions field to identify these properties.

Land Trust homes are a shared equity model of homeownership. The COCLT owns the land and the homebuyer owns the dwelling. These homes will require pre-purchase homebuyer education and proof of income eligibility.
