KeyStep helps you own, not rent.
Why It Feels Harder Than Ever
The numbers don’t lie. These are the hurdles today’s buyers are facing — and why KeyStep exists.
60% pay more in rent than a mortgage — and still don’t qualify.
Down payment savings stop 51% from buying a home.
78% say home prices don’t match their quality.
73% don’t expect prices to drop anytime soon.
57% saw housing costs rise in just the last year.
81% of renters want to buy — 61% think they never will.
KeyStep Exists to protect…
In today’s housing landscape, the distance between renting and owning has grown wider. Meanwhile, institutional investors and corporate landlords have rapidly absorbed housing stock, transforming homes into financial assets and pricing out fledgling communities.
KeyStep fills this gap. We provide support for Step-Ready buyers who are close to qualifying but left behind by conventional systems. Our long-term approach empowers individuals to step into homeownership.
