THE REAL ESTATE MARKET – WANT TO BUY FORECLOSURES IN CASHIERS, HIGHLANDS, GLENVILLE, SAPPHIRE OR LAKE TOXAWAY, NC?

merry — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 11:20:22 +0000

Some people are daunted by the current real estate market. Do you invest now or wait and see what’s going to happen? One way to know you’re buying the very best possible deal on a home in Highlands, Cashiers, Glenville, Sapphire and Lake Toxaway is to buy a foreclosure property. Foreclosure properties are well-known for being as good a deal as anyone can get anywhere. Generally, foreclosures ARE the best possible home purchase to make. When considering a foreclosure home to purchase, remember that the home is probably going to have to have some repairs made, and there will be some appliances that will need to be purchased. If spending $25,000 to repair and replace, does it make financial sense to purchase a foreclosed property? In many cases, it does. In SOME cases, it doesn’t. Point being, when considering a foreclosure, bear in mind what might have to be spent…do your due diligence before closing! Have a home inspection. Get a contractor’s opinion. Price appliances. If you can get a good deal on a home and not go through the repair/replace process, that could be the answer. Talk candidly to your Realtor. See what’s out there in your price range, foreclosure or not. If you decide that a foreclosure property is right for you, your Realtor can guide you safely through the process. Make sure to look carefully at what you’ll need to do in order to make that purchase. You’ll need to have proof of funds or a current pre-qualification letter from a lender. Earnest Money deposits will need to be certified funds. The process can take a while, so be patient. You may be asked to come up with forms or other paperwork you don’t normally have to provide in a “normal” transaction. Please listen to the experts.

In the end, your purchase will be something everyone hopes you’ll be proud of! I can help you navigate those waters and land on shore with ease. I hope if you’re considering any kind of Cashiers Home, Highlands Home, Glenville Home, Sapphire Home or Lake Toxaway Home purchase, you’ll call on me. I have the experience, tenacity and patience to get through the process with relatively little inconvenience to you, the Buyer. I have some foreclosures listed that may be of interest to you! Let me know how I can help you.

Great Buys in Cashiers Homes for Sale

merry — Tue, 30 Mar 2010 20:40:36 +0000

There has never been a better time to purchase a wonderful mountain home in Cashiers, Highlands, Glenville, Sapphire or Lake Toxaway, NC. Why? The stability of homeowners in this area has historically been rock solid. There is now evidence of INstability in some areas, of financial deterioration. The evidence is shown in the upward spiral of properties that are foreclosures or short sales. As a side effect, the foreclosures have forced sales prices down somewhat to a very affordable level for most folks. Although these distressed sale properties are bad news for the people who are the former owners, they really represent opportunity for those who have money to invest. The investment can be for personal enjoyment or could be held for several years to become a great re-sale property. We must also realize that the amount of foreclosures and short sales in our beautiful mountain area is NOTHING compared to metropolitan areas hard hit by down-sizing companies and other dilemmas being experienced by our larger employers. So, be sure to ask your favorite realtor (and I hope that’s me!) about foreclosures and short sales in the Highlands/Cashiers area to find the best deals around for mountain properties!!

Extended Home Buyers’ Tax Credit

merry — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:45:54 +0000

Many of us interested in buying a home have been put off by the uncertainty of these economic times and the housing market itself. Frankly, the time to buy a home is NOW! Not only is housing inventory high right now, but there has been an extension of the government incentive of First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit. In fact, it has been expanded to include current homeowners as well.

The definition of a first time homebuyer is somewhat liberal. The purchase must occur between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010 and the maximum allowable credit for first time homebuyers is $8,000. In order to qualify, the buyer (or spouse) must not have owned a home in the past three years. Single buyers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples with incomes up to $225,000 may receive the tax credit. If income exceeds these amounts, some buyers may still be eligible for the credit. The amount of the credit decreases for buyers who earn between $125,000 and $145,000 for single buyers and $245,000 for homebuyers filing jointly. The amount of the tax credit decreases as his/her income approaches the maximum limit. Homebuyers earning more than the maximum qualifying income – over $145,000 for singles and over $245,000 for couples are not eligible for the credit.

There’s also good news for current homeowners, wishing to purchase a new or existing home between November 7, 2009 and April 30, 2010. If those current homeowners have used their home being sold or vacated as a principal residence for five consecutive years within the last eight, they are also eligible for up to a maximum $6,500 in tax credit.

Not only is the tax credit available on single family homes, but also on other primary residences such as condos, townhomes and co-ops purchased for $800,000 or less. As long as a written binding contract to purchase is in effect on April 30, 2010, the purchaser will have until July 1, 2010 to close and still qualify for the credit. The credit does not have to be repaid if he/she occupies the home for three years or more. However, if the property is sold during the three year period, the full amount of credit will be recouped on the sale.

The above information should instill enough confidence in some of us to help us get off the fence we’ve been sitting on. The buyers’ market we’re in right now won’t last forever and neither will the enticement of the Extended Home Buyer Tax Credit. Now, more than ever, is the time to consider that home you’ve wanted or needed!
