New Placer County Listing!! 5555 Abbott Road Penryn, Ca

5555 Abbott Road
5555 Abbott Road

Nestled on 2.5 acres of serene landscape sits this gorgeous custom home. This country beauty was built in 2003, and offers 4266 Sq Ft of bright, open, spacious living space. The sellers thought of everything when designing this residence, and there is a laundry list of amazing amenities.

One of the most unique things about this home is that it is a two story home, but it lives like a one story. The gourmet kitchen, family room, master suite, laundry room, formal living room, formal dining room, den, and all other bedrooms are all located on the main level of the home. The second story is dedicated to a HUGE game room; equipped with a large built-in bar, half bath, balcony with stairs down to lower deck, electronic skylights, and walk-in attic storage for the home.

This home also has an over-sized four car garage with a huge storage above that could be turned into another room as well. The garage itself is approx 25 ft x 45 ft. There is space on the property to store an RV, boat, and all the other great toys you may have to bring along.

As I said before…there is a huge list of extras on this home. I would be happy to email you a flyer so that you can see for yourself. Click here to view the virtual tour of the home, and take a peek inside. Call me at 916-628-4598 to set up a private showing, or for any additional details about this lovely home.

100% Financing with NO Private Mortgage Insurance!!

Picture1Many home buyers are unaware that there is still 100% financing available to purchase a home. Not only does this loan program allow you to purchase with no money down,  it does not have monthly private mortgage insurance (PMI) either.  The loan program I am talking about is the USDA Loan.

Obviously, like most loans there are qualifying guidelines. There are income qualifications, as well, as some other factors that I will highlight below. I have found that this loan is fairly easy to qualify for. Most of the buyers I have had approved under this program have qualified.

Here are a few of the unique guidelines:

100% Financing (Zero Down)
For Rural Areas only( Lincoln Qualifies)
No Mortgage Insurance
Impound Account Required (Monthly Taxes & Insurance Collected with Payment)
Income Restrictions apply (based on number in household)
One 30 day late pay in the last 12 months okay
No Foreclosure / BK last 36 months
6% seller credit okay (Closing Costs)
No Manufactured Homes

If you are looking for a home, especially in Lincoln, this loan program is a “must consider”. This program has lost its funding in the past, and was not available so don’t wait. If saving for a down payment is the only thing stopping you from purchasing a home…CALL US TODAY!!! We can help you connect with the lenders working with this loan program to see if you qualify. 916-628-4598 or 916-628-8086

Franchise Tax Board Stops Accepting First-Time Buyer Tax Credit Applications August 15, 2010

Many first time home buyers are unaware that the tax credit offered by the State of California has most likely already run out for previously occupied homes. The Franchise Tax Board is still accepting applications until this Sunday August 15Th, but there was only $100 million dollars allocated to the program. They have already received over 30,000 applications and anticipate the funds to be gone some where in the neighborhood of 17,500 and 20,000 applications. They accepted more applications due to double submissions and invalid applications.

There are still funds available out of the $100 million allocated for a new home purchase. A home buyer has to be in contract before January 1, 2011, and close escrow before August 1st, 2011. However, if you are a buyer interested in getting the new home tax credit…DON’T WAIT…it is estimated that 70% of that credit is also spoken for, and is sure to run out before January 2011.

 The tax credits offered to buyers have been an excellent incentive to buy a home, and we hope that the government will continue to offer programs to help home-ownership become a reality.

Short Sale Testimonial

 
Sold! Sold! Sold!
If it was not for Sparky & Katie Pond from RE/MAX Gold my house would’ve gone into foreclosure, guaranteed!
I am speechless! These guys are awesome! Their professionalism, shocking! Integrity, commitment, negotiating skills,  … . Wow!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Thinking of doing a short sale, and getting a law firm involved? DON’T! Been there, done that. It’s a waste of money, and most importantly Life! It took me almost 16 months working with an attorney.  It hurts!

Sparky and Katie helped me get it  done in a matter of weeks.  No Law Firm for me from now on!
Not to mention the out of pocket expenses working with Sparky & Katie were ZERO!

All covered by the bank.

I would highly recommend Sparky & Katie Pond because they get the job done!

Thank you!

$10,000 California New Home Tax Credit

Everyday it seems like buying a home gets better and better. Now California is throwing in an extra $10,000 to buyers who purchase a new home after March 1st 2009. This is an incredible incentive to buyers in this market! Before the credits were tied to being a first time home-buyer, and meeting certain income requirements. Not now…this current credit applies to any new home buyer planning to use this new home as their principal residence for at least two years. There are minimal requirements to receive this credit. There are a few key things to know about the credit:

1) It does not have to be paid back.

2) It will be paid to the tax payer over three years. $3333.33 each year.

3) It must be your principal residence for at least two years.

4) The money is not unlimited. There is $100,000,000 allocated for this credit. It will run out. You can see how much money is left by visiting:
