A Choice For Financing A Home, Deland, Florida

 

I know some of you out there think you can’t afford a home but I know something that you might not know:

Finance Your Home with HomePath

Have you heard of Homepath?  HomePath financing is available only on Fannie Mae-owned properties, (aka REO and Bank Owned). Homepath offers great buyer benefits — low down payment, flexible mortgage terms, no mortgage insurance requirement, and more.

As you know I am a Real Estate Agent and I am very impressed with most Fannie Mae Homes. They are usually move in ready. I like to hold open houses in Fannie Mae homes because they are clean, with fresh paint, new or very clean flooring, lights work, air conditioning and heat work, beautiful homes with great prices. The quality of these homes is amazing.

Below is the link to the website. Check it out, you just might be able to buy a home!

Should You Remodel Or Move To A New Home?

 

When your house no longer suits you, you can move or remodel. Find out which big change is the right investment of your housing dollars.

Deciding whether you should move or remodel? The most important things you need to consider are the four things you can’t change: your home’s value compared to the rest of the neighborhood, how much you love your neighborhood, the size of your lot, and the cost to move your stuff to a new house.

Just about everything else—remodeling costs, the hassle of living in a construction zone, or the ability to live happily without one more bathroom—is a personal preference. After all, your home isn’t just your largest investment; it’s also the place where your family lives.

1. Will remodeling make your home better than everyone else’s?

To make the right move-or-remodel decision, you have to know:

• Your home’s value. Easy. Just ask a REALTOR® to estimate it and tell you how it compares with the value of the other homes in your immediate neighborhood. Ask her what she thinks your house will be worth after the improvements, too.

• Your neighbors’ home value. Hit some open houses. Seeing the inside of area homes will inspire you; help you make good choices about finishes, room sizes, and how much to spend; and, admit it, entertain you.

• Your remodeling costs. Once you’ve got your renovation vision, get a quote from a home improvement contractor or, if you’re remodeling it yourself, tally the costs of the items on your supplies shopping list.

Then add the remodeling costs to the value of your home. If the number you get is more than 10% above the average value of homes in your neighborhood, you’re over-improving and probably won’t be able to sell for what you put into the remodel.

Here’s why: No one wants to buy the most expensive home on the block (your home) if they can spend the same money to get a similar home on a block of higher-priced homes. Would you pay $200,000 to live on a block where all the other homes are valued at $100,000? We hope not.

Make home improvements that are typical for the neighborhood. Don’t put granite countertops in a trailer, and don’t put laminate countertops in a Trump Tower condo. Your tour of open houses gives you a chance to verify that your planned remodel isn’t an over- or under-improvement for the neighborhood.

2. Do you love where you live?

Want to keep your kids in the same school district, but can’t find or afford a bigger, better house? Love the neighbors? Have an easy commute to work? Stay put. If you’ve soured on the traffic, the neighborhood’s crime rate, or the nosy neighbors, move on.

3. Do you have room to expand?

If your remodeling plans include increasing the overall size of your home, the size of your lot may be the deciding factor in whether to move or remodel. If you live in a 1,500 sq. ft. ranch on a 3,000 sq. ft. lot, you might be able to add a second story to turn it into a 3,000 sq. ft. two-story, but you’re not likely to add 1,500 sq. ft. at ground level. And if you have a septic tank and well, the location of those will limit how and where you add onto your home (or cost you a bundle to move).

4. Can you afford to move?

Consider these moving costs: sale costs for your existing home, shipping your household goods, buying window treatments and possibly furniture for the new house, costs to fix up your existing home before sale, higher utility costs (if your next house is bigger), insurance cost differences, and property taxes.

The Cutest Deland Home I’ve Seen In A Long Time

I fell in love with this little charmer the second I laid eyes on it.

The hooks are waiting for the swing to be installed on this cute porch.

 

If I lived alone this would be the house I would buy. It is located in a charming community just blocks from downtown Deland. 

When I walked in the door the sunlight was coming thru the windows and bouncing off the walls.  The hardwood floor could be originals from 1905, I’m not sure. The sound of my heels clomping across the boards filled the rooms.  There was no stuffiness like in some older homes and the feeling was light. I was amazed at the size of the kitchen in this small house. It has been updated with a newer sink and stove and my imagination begins to picture how it might have looked back in the day. I wondered who the woman of the house was that ran this kitchen. Pots boiling on the wood stove, the smell of fresh-baked bread in the air.  The family room and dinning room both have windows that look out to the front yard and street so you can see your neighbors coming before they even ring the door bell.  The bedrooms are small but I’m going to call them cozy, with a grin on my face. The stairs have been replaced but I know a place in Deland where you can find restoration pieces to return it to its original charm. The stairs leed to a finished attic space that can be used for storage space, closet space or an art studio. There was just something about this house that pulled my heart-strings, and I fell in love.  So cozy and so darn cute.
