Perched on top of a hill overlooking Cedar Lake is this adorable cottage with 2 bedrooms, large eat in kitchen and living room. The Million dollar view can be seen from everywhere in the home and is wonderful.
And this is the view-of course a photo can never do justice to the real thing. Take a drive out to Cedar Lake, Indiana and stop by-you'll be glad you did.
Many clients see the ripe dangling fruit of short sales and their eyes sparkle. I'd like to put out a word of caution before you fall victim to your own imagination. A short sale occurs when a home owner is in financial distress and he is asking his lender to accept less than he owes on the home as satisfaction for the debt. Many buyers look at these homes in the MLS and see a cheap way to buy more house than they would normally be … (0 comments)

A client in Crown Point, Indiana asked me today what is a short sale and I thought I would give you my take on the issue. In today's economy many people are finding themselves up side down in their mortgages and this means they are heading for foreclosure. Being upside down means that the house is worth less on today's market than the seller owes to the lender. In order to avoid foreclosure they elect to try something slightly less damaging and that is where the short sale comes in. In a nut … (2 comments)

I'd like to use my blog to invite everyone … (2 comments)
Today was the day Little Bubba went to kitty heaven. He had a good run of 15+ years in my lap and chasing butterflies in the garden. We will miss him. I thought I would share a cute story and appeal from my favorite animal charity in honor of my Bubba. The Independent Cat Society is a no-kill cat shelter in Westville, Indiana. They house many cats of all kinds and ages and are a permanent home to some and a way station for others. I am sharing a delightful story from their … (8 comments)

When ever I have first time home buyers I end up explaining what it means for the mortgage company to hold tax and insurance in escrow. Part of that explanation involves the promise of the little annual surprise from the mortgage company. Mine came today-it was a check for $59.74 followed by a drop in my monthly mortgage payment of $6.58. That's not much but it pushed the payment from just over $1000.00 to just under $997.00-looks so much better. … (2 comments)

Most first time buyers don't have the cash for both the down payment and closing cost. It has become common practice for the buyers to ask the seller to pay this fee. It is a way of getting the sale done in a difficult market. Buyers can no longer ask the sellers for … (3 comments)
I had the opportunity to show two townhomes that happen to be HUD properties. They where both very nice and extreme bargains when compared to other townhomes in the same complex of the same style. My client asked me, "how do you buy a HUD home?" So, I thought I would do a brief description of the process for other buyers who have wondered about this unique buying opportunity.
First of all, a HUD home is a home that was financed with FHA backing and has gone into foreclosure and now … (1 comments)
