Property Description
1219 Western Montgomery County Even a poor farmer can make it on this land: 173.9acres, with 110 tillable, mostly in one field, all tile drained and at a low elevation for a longer growing season than is normal in the area. You'll find the well-drained and relatively high lime Mohawk silt loams soils here (also some Palatine, Fredon, and Palmyra - you can get excited now!). Except for the 25 acres that was in corn last year, the remainder of the farm can be certified organic. The remainder of the land is divided between pasture and woodland. Timber can be harvested no but the owner recommends waiting another 10years. A stream winds through the length of the property and there is a pond behind the barns. There are over 7000' of road frontage on this plus additional along I 90 (no access of course). Great views across the Mohawk Valley are from nearly everywhere. The main barn is like new and measures 60x104'. It can be put to many purposes, but right now is used for hay storage and chickens and heifers. A drive-by manger is across the front and solar panels are on the roof. The former dairy barn has a completely new roof, trusses and everything. It is 55x75' and is used as a large pen for goats. It has a cement barnyard and tie's own drilled well. . There is a 16x24' leanto with a pen that spans between the main barn and the silo room, which is attached to a 25x32' storage barn. There are 2 Harvestore silos, 20x60 and 20x32'. There are 2 more principal farm buildings, a 23x43' storage barn and a 40x48 insulated shop. It has a sales desk and inner office. And a second drilled well. The home is a classic limestone colonial built in 1853. It serves as the home for the owner and can be viewed as exemplifying the reason why bachelor's quarters have the kind of reputation they have. Expect messy and dirty and you will not be disappointed. It is close to original condition, slate roof, mock fireplace, wide plank floors, with the superior original woodwork. It has an eat-in kitchen, full bath, office, storage and dining and living rooms downstairs, with another full bath and 2 large bedrooms upstairs. Both upstairs bedrooms have 2 walk-in closets. 2177 square feet of living space and is wheel chair accessible. Heat is with gas space heaters or if you wish to heat the entire home, there is a self-feeding coal furnace. There is no upper end as to how how you can keep this home. A developed spring from across the street is the home's water supply. This farm has been in the family since 1929 and 7.5% owner terms may be available to help finance the farm to the right party. After a lifetime here, he is ready to move. Taxes are only $6500 and the price is $1.2M. Here is some sweetening: 5 acres on the corner are in a progressive lease for solar batteries. Once final approval is given, that will pay an anticipated $80000/year. If you want machinery, the following is available by private treaty, up to whenever an auction is scheduled: CIH 1896 4WD tractor w/cab, CIH 2096 tractor w/cab, MM 335 tractor, McCormick tractor, White-Oliver 244LL tractor w/loader, Case 995 tractor, and an Oliver tractor (motor is out). 2 Gehl 2412 mower-conditioners, 2 CIH seeders, NH spreader, White 7300 combine, Oliver combine, JD dozer, Woods 0121 ~8" brush hog, 2 Kubota RTV 4x4s, feed mixer, Valac material wagon, 3ph forks and bale wrappers, Case 621 payload, Woods RM59 3ph mower (~5'), McCormick hydraulic black blade, Alameda Super Cart, several running gears, pickups, and steel storage containers.

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.
