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

Friday, January 20th, 2012

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.

Here's one of the most fun things I can think of!

In Cashiers, Highlands, Sapphire and Lake Toxaway, Highlands, Glenville, there are so many wonderful things to do, it’ll amaze you!  Just being here is a wonderful thing in and of itself.  This is one of the things I am most amazed by.  I LOVE the wildlife!  This past summer, we had a family of bears living somewhere around our house.  There are two cubs and a mother that have entertained the entire neighborhood during their evening walks! 
My Friend...the Llama!

My Friend...the Llama!

Here, we have mountain waterfalls, lakes, wildlife

I guess you wouldn’t expect to see llamas in this neck of the woods!  There is a family who has a llama farm in Glenville Homes for Sale.  They are such friendly critters.  They seem to want to get close to people just for the heck of it.  I guess you just never know who or what you’ll run into in these mountains!  Always surprises, and always good!!!

The news is out…Congress has voted on and passed a bill just today (11/6/09)  that will not only extend the first-time homebuyer tax credit of $8000 per family, but will also give additional tax breaks to certain homeowners trading up.  Passed overwhelmingly by Congress, the bill would provide a $6500 tax credit to homeowners who are buying a new, primary residence beginning December 1st.  The language mandates that to get the credit, the homeowner must have owned their home for five consecutive years of the previous eight.  BUT there are caps on the tax credits.  They only apply to individual buyers who make no more than $125,000 and $250,000 for couples annually.  There is also an anti-flipping provision:  Any homeowner who collects the credit and sells within three years must return the money.  The FTHB was extended to cover consumers signing a contract by April 30 and closing by June 30. 

 

If you or anyone you know is interested in taking advantage of this unprecedented attempt to give a “shot in the arm” to the otherwise slagging real estate market, you now will have the opportunity to do so!  What a great way to end the year, with your own personal first home or home up-grade!!

 

Please be sure to let me know if I can help you in any way…I would be pleased to discuss the possibility and would be delighted to assist you with Cashiers homes, Sapphire Homes or Lake Toxaway Homes!  Even here, in the mountains of Western North Carolina, we have very good buys that would be appropriate for first time home buyers or those folks looking to upgrade their current home!
