The ebony hardwood floors and white walls allow the room's style elements to take center stage. The 18 ft marble fireplace wall, the striking light fixtures, the niche under the stairs for showcasing art or collectibles, and the dimensional tiles are only the beginning. The kitchen is definitely a focal point with the main kitchen wall featuring a 3 dimensional backsplash accent tile, high gloss modern soft close cabinets with one touch releases that contrast nicely with the matte finish charcoal cabinets in the center island. A refined and tasteful honed granite countertop with full waterfall edge wraps the island in a soft matte finish that pairs well with the high gloss of the perimeter cabinets.

The loft is flooded with natural light from the wall if windows, overlooks the great room, and offers the opportunity for private relaxing on the upper level. Returning to the main level and off the kitchen, step outside onto a lovely side deck that overlooks the pool and back yard. The pool has been tastefully updated in pebble tec and features a patio large enough for sunbathing, lounging and gathering with an area for tables or additional seating.

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.
