Property Description
Welcome home to 4725 Everest Ave in the beautiful Scenic Valley neighborhood. As you cross the threshold into your new home, you get a first glimpse of a wall of wide and tall windows in the living room just beyond the foyer. You are drawn into the open concept room, awed by inspiring light and view of the outdoors. You let your eyes gaze about the room, soaking up the wonderful features of the space before they invite you into the kitchen. There you admire the quartz countertops, maple painted and stained cabinets, reverse tray ceiling, tile backsplash, pantry and stainless steel appliances. From the kitchen, a twinkle catches your eye and as you turn towards it, you notice the gas fireplace with its built-ins on either side and immediately know what treasured items you will put on their shelves. Remembering there are more sights to see, you seek out the primary bedroom. Gliding along the luxury vinyl planks and into the bedroom, your feet are comforted by soft carpet as they walk around to the primary bath which has the walk-in shower you have always wanted as well as the walk-in closet that you can't wait to fill. Knowing the main level also has another bedroom, full bath and laundry room, you take the stairs to the daylight lower level, and you are delighted to see a great room which includes a bar set neatly under the window and already you are dreaming of how you will perfectly arrange your furniture. Crossing the room to a hall, you find two additional bedrooms and a full bath. In your mind you already live here and with one more area to explore, you are wondering how quickly you can move in. You ascend the stairs, float across the living room to the door which will take you to the wood covered deck you can't believe is yours. It is here, where you find your peace and know that this is where you are meant to be. Seller is a licensed real estate broker in the State of Iowa selling the property on their own behalf.

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.
