susanne novak: Columbus OH - 5 NEWER Suburban HUD Homes w/ 18 pictures and a VIDEO TOUR! Listed 12/11/09! - 12/14/09 06:41 AM
Five HUD Homes Built Between 1996 and 2006
Did you ever wonder why many Columbus HUD homes are not very old? Most of our previews were built after the year 2000. We are talking about almost new homes that only one owner occupied before they were foreclosed on.
In the first half of this decade many builders made arrangements with FHA to underwrite their own loans. This made it easy for them to sell their newly built homes to buyers that could not otherwise afford a new home. Large portions of new subdivisions were financed by FHA backed loans. Some of the … (0 comments)

susanne novak: Dublin, OH and Westerville OH: Large 4 BR HUD Home Listings at Affordable Prices! - 12/08/09 11:47 AM
Four Bedroom HUD Homes in Dublin and Westerville
In my last post I indicated that more and more HUD homes listings appear in the northern suburbs of Columbus. Many families with school age children look at these areas to buy a new residence for their family. In the past most suburban homes were too expensive and out of reach for them.
This has changed. Now that HUD homes are available in desirable locations, such as Dublin, Westerville, New Albany, Powell, and literally in all school districts surrounding Columbus, it is more affordable than ever to move to the suburbs. Add the … (0 comments)

susanne novak: Boomerang HUD Homes are Great Deals - Opportunity is Knocking! - 12/05/09 12:55 PM
Why Boomerang HUD Homes Are Great Deals
It's late in the year, but HUD homes are still going strong. Some of our featured HUD homes are in contract for much less than asking price. I figured you may be interested in the offers HUD accepted for these homes.

For those of you who just joined our blog , I want to first explain what boomerang HUD homes are.  Boomerang homes are Columbus houses that "come back"; HUD homes that fell out of contract and were relisted (possibly for a lower price) a second or third time. These boomerangs offer the best opportunity for owner … (3 comments)

My client is a first time buyer and so thrilled that he won the bid for this particular home! We've been on the hunt for about a month, submitted several offers and always came up short. This time it was meant to be!

HUD Homes at Buckeye Lake and Last Week's Bidding Results

This may not be the time when you are thinking about living at a lake, but that's exactly where we found a couple of HUD homes … (0 comments)

susanne novak: Columbus OH - Suburban HUD Homes w/ 18 pictures and a VIDEO TOUR! Caution: 2 of these have MOLD! - 11/17/09 12:28 PM
Warning: Mold In 2 Featured HUD Homes
Do you read the property disclosures on the HUD Website? You probably noticed that many Columbus HUD Homes seem to be effected by mold.
Mold occurs frequently in Ohio, especially, if the inside of a house gets wet and there is not enough air circulation. Minor mold damage can be remedied by drying out the house, removing any damaged drywall, and treating the effected areas. A full blown mold remediation, however, can be costly and may take some time to complete. Mold may also prevent you from getting FHA financing.
Two of the Columbus houses featured … (2 comments)
