“These ten selected applicants will be ranked from 1 to 10. Applicants ranked #1 and #2 will move on to the financing and closing process of homeownership,” a news release describes.
If either person “is unable to secure financing within the specified time, the next ranked applicant will be considered, continuing this process until both homes are sold.”
The homes located at 15300 Southwest 296th Street feature four bedrooms and two bathrooms, with sizes of 1,813 square feet and 1,777 square feet. The purchase price is $394,000.

“To place it into context our median home value in Miami-Dade county is close to $600,000 — many families individuals young find that median price to be an impossible goal to attain," Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins said when the lottery was announced.
