The homes, a townhome in West Vail and a condominium in East Vail, are deed-restricted with sales prices of $635,000 each, well below market value. Applications for both lotteries are available from the town of Vail and are due by 3 p.m. July 14.

The West Vail home is a Chamonix Vail Townhome located at 2347 Upper Traverse Way Unit B. This is a 1,581 square-foot, three-bedroom, three-bath, two-car garage townhome. The Chamonix Vail townhomes were built in 2018.

The East Vail home is a Pitkin Creek Park Condominium located at 4061 Bighorn Road, #12L. This is a 1,146 square-foot, two-bedroom, two-bath condominium with loft space, bonus room and one designated parking space. Amenities include an on-site grocery and liquor store, pool, hot tub and a nearby bus stop.

Both homes have a 1.5% annual appreciation cap.
