Get Paid To Purchase! How First Time Home Buyers Are Cashing In.
January 20th, 2009 categories: Real Estate News
Not only are first time home buyers cashing in on buying at such low prices but they are borrowing money at historically low rates. If that wasn’t enough to make you want to jump into this buyers market with both feet than a federal tax credit of $7500 should get you moving.
This tax credit like all good things is available for a limited time. You must buy your first home before July 1st, 2009.
With many of our clients getting into houses with mortgage payments less than they are paying for rent, I can’t think of why anyone would pass up this opportunity to own a home. If you are interested in finding out if home-ownership is a possibility for you give us a call asap. We can help you through the whole process from qualification to closing. We love making home-ownership a reality for our clients.

Pulte Homes West Park
January 14th, 2009 categories: New Homes Roseville
Today I went and visited the new home community Amberly Place in West Park by Pulte Homes. West Park is one of Roseville’s newest master planned communities. The concept is to integrate housing with schools, restaurants, shopping, trails, and parks. All within walking distance of home. A great idea if you ask me! Being able to walk to coffee, or get a bite to eat with the family with out having to get in the car is a luxury that most suburban areas don’t have.
Amberly Place has homes that range in size from 1919 Sq ft. to 3315 Sq ft. The prices start in the low $300,000’s and top out at the mid $400,000’s. The smallest one story home offers 3 bedrooms with a den, and the largest home offers 5 bedrooms plus an office and bonus room.
If you bought a home when the market was hot like we did than you will be surprised to find out that these new homes come standard with granite counter tops in the kitchen, as well as, stainless steel appliances. Something you used to have to shell out big bucks for. They also come with maple cabinets, and a complete security system.
If upgrades aren’t enticing enough than how about the vaulted ceilings in the Dorchester Model(picture above)?? I know ooh la-la. It was my favorite model. Impressive vaulted ceilings and an open rail bonus room upstairs give this home such an elegant feel. It was very open and bright. It also has a downstairs master.
They don’t have any homes ready for immediate move in right now but if you put a deposit on a lot they will start building one for you.
Just like in any home purchase you should talk to your Realtor when you start considering the purchase of a new home. Your Realtor must accompany you the first time you visit the new home community in order to work with you during the purchase process. A Realtor is an important resource in a new home transaction.
