First Time Home Buyers in South Bend Indiana

Tim Vicsik (Home Gallery Realtors) — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 15:09:43 -0500

First Time Home Buyer programs have become scarce! I've spoken with the St. Joseph County Housing Administration and we still have one program available to first time buyer's. I retrieved the following criteria from their website and is considered current as of 4-7-2008.

First Time Homebuyer Program

What is the First Time Homebuyer Program?

We offer a $17,000 ten-year forigveable second mortgage to individuals and families who are income eligible.

How do I qualify?

1. Your annual household income must be at or below 80% of the St. Joseph County Area Median Income (AMI). Guidelines for 2006 according to household size are below.

2. You must be a first time homebuyer to qualify for assistance. There are certain exemptions for displaced households.

3. You must qualify for a mortgage sufficient to purchase a home. The grant reduces the mortgage amount the family must qualify for and acts as a down payment. Only lenders from the provided approved list may be used. The mortgage should be a 30-year fixed rate loan between $65,000-$110,000 depending on your mortgage pre-approval.

4. You must have been employed at the same job for the last 6 months.

5. You must attend a Homeowner Counseling Course/Workshop and receive a Certificate of Attendance.

I've also been told of a program called MCC which details will be coming shortly. It's not specific to first time buyers, but does show some tax advantages. Any questions please feel free to call or email! If you'd like to research the South Bend Indiana housing market please visit us online at www.timvicsik.com.

South Bend Indiana HUD and Foreclosure notes

Tim Vicsik (Home Gallery Realtors) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:50:02 -0500

- From HUD (US Department of Housing and Urban Development): The Atlanta Homeownership Center approved the use of two Sales Initiatives on HUD listings in (Illinois, Indiana, North, and South Carolina). The $100 Downpayment is now available for HUD listings with an effective date of October 5, 2007.

100 Down Payment on HUD Homes!

HUD has announced several new sales incentives on HUD homes that will make
these homes more affordable for homebuyers.

HUD has a special program for a limited time only which allows an owner-occupant buyer to pay only $100 down, instead of the usual required 3% down, and HUD will pay up to 3% of allowable closing costs.

- Homeowners in St. Joseph County and the cities of South Bend, Mishawaka, Granger, Osceola, and Notre Dame now have a resource for Foreclosure awareness and prevention. It's called The Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network. Below is a snipet from their website...

"The Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network (IFPN) is a public-private partnership of community-based organizations, government agencies, lenders, realtors, and trade associations that has devised a multi-tiered solution to Indiana's foreclosure problem. This statewide initiative includes a targeted public awareness campaign, a telephone helpline, an educational website, and a network of local trusted advisors."

Offering third-party non biased information to the general public, IFPN is out to make a difference in Indiana and in a time of need. The state of Indiana is one of the highest Forclosure states in the US, this is a giant step towards lowering that statistic!

Eddy Street Commons moves forward

Tim Vicsik (Home Gallery Realtors) — Thu, 20 Mar 2008 21:32:17 -0500

Even at a tenuous time nationally for the bond market, a $36-million bond to finance the Eddy Street Commons project sold successfully Wednesday, the City's last major hurdle before the start of a $200-million development that will transform South Bend.

Crowe Chizek and City Securities, representing the City of South Bend, reported that the city will have the full $35 million available for the project after the bond issuance costs, according to Don Inks, director of economic development.

The 25-year bond will cover the cost of constructing a 1,280-car parking garage, development of on-site infrastructure as well as improvements along Eddy Street and the extension of three city streets.

"The quick sale of these bonds highlights both the strength of this project and the City of South Bend's fiscal stability," said Mayor Stephen J. Luecke. "Eddy Street Commons, one of the region's largest single developments in decades, now can move forward on a sound footing."

Indianapolis-based Kite Realty Group, which is developing the project on property owned by the University of Notre Dame, is preparing to begin construction as soon as it officially acquires the property. Because the parking garage is surrounded on all sides by other structures, construction will begin first on that facility along with the utility infrastructure and an extension of Napoleon Street by the City of South Bend.

The $200 million mixed-use development also includes:

Two hotels - a nine-story, 255-room full-service hotel (with three floors of condominiums) and a six-story, 139-room limited-service hotel.
More than 20 stores and restaurants among 89,000 square feet of retail space.
75,000 square feet of office space.
Hundreds of town homes, apartments and condominiums.

The for-profit venture is expected to generate more than $52 million in property and sales tax revenue over 10 years for the city, some of which will support the project. An economic impact study shows that Eddy Street Commons will directly create 779 jobs during construction and another 1,132 jobs over 10 years within the development itself. Indirectly, another 1,254 jobs will be created outside the development, increasing local household earnings by a projected $109 million.

The next phase will bring more private investment and development that will stretch from Eddy and Edison to LaSalle and Lafayette, from the edge of the University to the center of the City, from Gown to Downtown."

Long-term planning with neighbors, Notre Dame and other partners began more than a decade ago and set the stage for this transformative development in the Northeast Neighborhood.

On a parallel path, a residential area immediately south of the Eddy Street Commons will experience redevelopment as the neighborhood is re-platted with 60 market-rate and affordable homes. Tax-increment financing supported by the Eddy Street Commons will make the additional $15 million development possible. In addition, to the east, the city and Notre Dame are working with Project Future, an economic-development organization for St. Joseph County, on a 10-acre technology and research park.

"I believe this development will draw from suburban development more than from downtown," Luecke said. "It will bring more people back to the downtown area. This project will create vitality, energy and enthusiasm to help grow development in South Bend."

Condominiums For Sale near University of Notre Dame

Tim Vicsik (Home Gallery Realtors) — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:44:29 -0600

Many buyers have figured out the value of purchasing a Condo for the Student or avid Alumni. The cost of On Campus housing or Home Game Rentals is often higher than a Mortgage Payment for a Private Condominium or Townhome. It's become a National trend, one that won't likely change any time soon. Buying a Condo as a second home for Alumni Events or housing for your precious Student in lieu of paying outrageous rental pricing just makes sense.

The same is true of the South Bend and Notre Dame Indiana condo market. With so many Condominium Complexes just minutes from campus it's no wonder buyers are making the move. Additionally, it's no longer just Oak Hill Condominiums readily available. We have numerous locations now available and one for almost every budget!

For Example:

North Douglas Condominiums- New Construction just minutes from campus. Available in 2 and 3 Bedroom units and priced below $150,000

Irish Crossings-Newer Construction almost in sight of ND Campus. Pricing starts around $300,000.

North Shore Club-Well established complex just 4 or 5 minutes from campus. Available in 1, 2, or 3 Bedroom units and priced from $50,000 up to $150,000. Many units have a water view!

We have so much more available to you as a Condo Buyer than just a few years ago. If you'd like more information on the twenty or more Condo Complexes available, please visit the South Bend Real Estate website and browse the Condos page.

If there's a particular Condo / Townhome complex you're interested in and you don't see it listed, feel free to call or email me.
