He said that the subsequent owners had to finance or make a downpayment equal to the appreciated value of the unit. He said in a recent resale this amounted to $30,000. Because of this situation, Hamilton believed that only a very few people would qualify for the unit. After a lengthy discussion, the Commissioners instructed Hamilton to develop severa~ options for capping the appreciation rate so as not to allow such a large yearly increase in the cost of the units. 1.5) Restru~turing of the 1980 Housing Price Guidelines.
