Dublin Opens Applications for Two $399,595 Below-Market Townhomes; Deadline November 16

DUBLIN, Alameda County — October 23, 2026. The City of Dublin announced on October 19 that two below-market-rate homes are available at the Dublin Centre development. The one-bedroom townhomes each measure 1,079 square feet and are listed at $399,595 under the city’s affordable homeownership program. According to the city’s official announcement, applications are being accepted through 4 p.m. November 16, 2026.

Who can apply?

The announcement identifies homes designed for one- or two-person households, with maximum household income of $136,750 for one person and $156,300 for two people. Buyers must be first-time homebuyers, and the home must be their primary residence. City rules also include monitoring, resale controls and other program requirements. A household below the published income ceiling is not automatically preapproved to purchase.

Where is Dublin Centre?

Dublin Centre extends north from Dublin Boulevard toward Gleason Drive between Tassajara Road and Brannigan Street. The offer is associated with Risewell Homes. Prospective applicants should verify which lots and homes are actually available, whether there is a lottery or preference-point ranking process, and whether prices and financing terms meet their circumstances before signing anything.

What paperwork is required?

Prospective buyers must submit a BMR prequalification application, mortgage loan preapproval, and documentation for applicable preference points. The official application details are at Dublin’s DCprequal portal. The posted deadline is precise; waiting for an open house or assuming the city will extend it could result in a missed opportunity.

What does below-market-rate mean?

The lower sale price comes with limits intended to preserve affordability. Resale and owner-occupancy conditions can affect how an owner may sell or lease the home later. An applicant should request the full deed restrictions, permitted financing options, homeowners’ association fees if relevant, tax costs and estimated closing expenses before making a binding commitment.

Can someone apply for more than one affordable housing offer?

Dublin has published other BMR offerings with separate size, price, income and application rules. Treat each as a separate application and read its current terms; qualification for one development should not be assumed to qualify a household for a different opportunity. The city’s website is the primary source for the correct deadline and current program documents.
