Do you want to buy a home, but you have little or no money for the down payment and/or closing costs?  The USDA mortgage program may be for you.

What is USDA financing? The United States Department of Agriculture provides low cost, insured loans to home buyers within their income guidelines for homes that are in rural areas. This is one of the few programs left for 100% financing. For more information on the program and income elibility, click here.

With a USDA mortgage, you can include your closing costs into the loan as long as the home appraises for the total amounty financed. You also will not have to pay PMI (private mortgage insurance) if you buy and close before October 1, 2011.  If you close after October, 2011, the USDA loan will require PMI which will increase your monthly payment.

There are homes for sale in Bucks County, PA that are eligible for USDA financing. Linda Tremblay and Marcie Purcell would love to help you find a home.

Like most of you, I am anxciously awaiting spring.  It seems like this past winter lasted forever and there were enough snow storms for this year and next. The end of winter is near and we are now going into the spring season. Having said that, here are some dates for you to remember that pertain to this time of the year.

Tomorrow, March 8, is the end of Marti Gras, commonly know as Fat Tuesday (Or Doughnut) Day.  It is the day before the first day of lent (Ash Wednesday as celebrated by the Catholic religion).

On Sunday, March 13 at 2 AM, you need to change your clocks one hour ahead. This is the beginning of Daylight Savings Time, which gives us an extra hour of daylight.  I love this time of the year.

The first official day of spring (the Spring Equinox) is March 20.

The beginning of the spring real estate market?  Now.  There are still lots of choices out there for home buyers, at reasonable prices.  Mortgage rates are also still low.  Between low prices and mortgages, it could cost you less money to buy a home, then to rent one.  If you happen to be looking for a home in the Bucks or Montgomery County areas of Pennsylvaania, Linda Tremblay and Marcie Purcell would love to help you.  Both of them live in Quakertown and specialize in Quakertown homes for sale as well as the surrounding areas of Perkasie, Doylestown, Sellersville, Chalfont, Pennsburg, Souderton and others. 

The art teachers from the Quakertown Community Scool District will be hosting a Make and Take Art Project:Design a Windsock on Saturday March 5, 2011.  The event will be held in the Strayer Middle School Cafeteria fro 9 AM until 11 AM.

The materials will be provided, so the only thing you need to bring is imagination. Windsocks are going to be created to welcome spring.

This is just one of the activities that are held in the Quakertown area, making it a great place to live.  It is a great time to buy a home and if you are looking to buy or sell a home in Quakertown, Linda Tremblay and Marcie Purcell would love to help you.
