Property Description
Located in the low taxed community of Grindstone Twp is a 1 bedroom, 1 bath ranch style cottage on nearly an acre of surveyed land. The comfortable cottage has had a recent general building inspection, and the seller has ticked off several of the items that were noted by the inspector. The electrical has been updated, a new pressure tank for the well pump installed, some plumbing updated and a New Rinnai propane furnace has recently been installed for better heating of this this open concept cottage. The mud room entrance has been refurbished with new insulation, new pine boards on the walls and ceiling which really brighten it up and also has made it a more usable space. This home has a drilled well and septic system with leach field. The house is built on blocks and is capable of year-round habitation. The bones of the cabin are very good. The lot itself is nearly an acre in size and has nice frontage on a seasonal tributary stream that flows into the east branch of the Penobscot River a few hundred feet from the property. Mature trees provide shade in the summer and a wind break in the winter for the cabin. This cottage is located on RTE 11 North in Grindstone TWP 5.2 miles from the intersection of RTE 157 in Medway, ME and less than 6 miles from Interstate 95 exit 244. RTE 11 is a well-maintained road with year round access. Frequent visitors to this country home are deer, moose, beaver and river otters. This is a great location to view wildlife. Across the road from the property is a logging road that goes back into an area that is very good hunting. I have seen moose, bear, deer and grouse in that patch of woods that you can walk to that from the property. If you are looking for a comfortable ranch style cabin in a quiet country setting, this is a great one to view. Whether you are looking for a vacation home or a place to retire to, this property is a good one for that.

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.
