Property Description
MCM fans rejoice! 1677 Willowood is a lasting testament to the mid-century era. Inspired by the boldest of all MCM campuses, the General Motors Technical Center, (where the original owner worked for 30 years), this atomic ranch is bold, dramatic, visually powerful, & structurally amazing. Expansive use of commercial grade materials make this home unique & beguiling. The expansive great room is the homes anchor, giving access to the rest of the home. The kitchen feels both commercially capable AND warm and inviting. There is wood cabinetry, stainless steel shelving, exposed brick, and brand new high end gas range. The lavatory is conveniently located off the kitchen (out-of-the-way, yet very handy). To the front of the house, you will find an open room that could be used as a den, office, or even a 4th bedroom (w/ an appropriate divider). This room also has a closet, & access to the utility room, which houses many of the updated mechanicals. The hallway leads to the 3 bedrooms, (primary feat. 2 closets), a throughly modern & updated full bath (w/ custom tile work in the shower & around the tub), & a terrific laundry room which is spacious, bright, & inviting. The NW bedroom closet has a hatch which opens to the “tunnel”, a crawl space down the center of the home! Changing visually throughout the day & evening, the materials & finishwork here are striking in nature, & range from high end to raw. The setting of the home is equally wonderful. At the very end of a dead-end block, the 100x300 ft lot is perfectly utilized. The home is set back for privacy, there is a fenced area between the house & garage, (3 car in size w/ 2 newer doors), & a gazebo welcoming all to the expansive, open lawn area that completes the backyard. The HVAC system inc. new heating baseboards in 2016, & the addition of a heat pump system in 2017. The roof, electric, plumbing, flooring & drywall work was done in 2016. The concrete drive (w/ built in turnaround), was installed in 2019. This is Art you can live in, Make Home Here.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
