Fischer Homes is expanding their paired patio home offering to include a two story floor plan.  Fischer initially introduced the Wembley floor plan in early 2018.  The Wembley is essentially a ranch condo (duplex style, side by side single floor with only one shared wall).  The Wembley model of paired patio homes have been selling well but some buyers would prefer a two story configuration, thus the introduction of the Hudson floor plan.   Click the link for details.The Hudson is over 1600 sq ft of living space with the bedrooms on the 2nd floor.  Standard configuration is a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bath, 2 car garage with 9 foot ceilings.  An option is to convert bedrooms 2 & 3 to a second owner's suite.  Starting price is in the $170,000s.  Just as the Wembley, there will be a shared wall with ...

Fischer Homes is offering a new type of housing in Florence Kentucky's Whitestone Links community.  Fischer Homes is calling this new housing type "paired patio homes".  As an agent with a specialty in Greater Cincinnati low maintenance housing, when I first heard the term I was intrigued.  Paired patio home is a new term and after researching I think Fischer Homes has a potential HUGE hit on their hands!First, what IS a paired patio home?Basically think attached ranch condos, but better that your typical area attached ranch condo.Commonly attached ranch condos are 3-4 units attached to each other in one of two configurations.  You might get a quad style (take a box and everyone gets their corner) or a side by side by side (by side), so two end units and 1-2 more middle units.Each of th...

When a HUD home comes out on market, the asking price is usually the FHA appraised value of the property.  Lately, we are starting to see an exception to this norm in the Northern KY area, so buyers will need to be on alert! When viewing the property on the main page of the official HUD website at www.hudhomestore.com, you will need to note what is listed in the "AS IS" section on the main page.  If the price here is noted as "$0", then chances are that the listed price is HIGHER than the FHA appraised value!  Let me repeat that, because this is the real news....if the price listed in the "AS IS" section of the main page on HUD's website is noted as "$0", then chances are that the listed price is HIGHER than the FHA appraised value! In order to find out the current FHA appraised value, ...
