VA Loans For Home Seekers

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VA_loan

The Veteran Loan program is designed for veterans who meet the minimum number of days of completed service. Some of the other eligibility requirement for the VA loan program[4] and some specific home loan benefits include the length of service or service commitment, duty status and character of service. The program does allow for benefits to Surviving Spouses.

The VA does not have a minimum credit score used for pre-qualifying for a mortgage loan.

Homeownership is a dream for many citizens.  There are a variety of resources available to assist prospective homebuyers.

Unfortunately, even though home ownership in Virginia Beach can be very affordable, the cost of a down payment or closing costs often act as a barrier to buying. In addition, many people do not know enough about how to become a homeowner or how to qualify for a mortgage.

I’ve been a fool more than once in my life; ( and ) really, it’s a luxury few can afford.  Certainly not me, I have suffered the consequences of [ such behavior ] and am trying 2 avoid it both now and the foreseeable future while time runs out  meanwhile

              Rigby was ruining the reunion for Kelly.   Well,actually, he was ruining Kelly’s memory of the reunion—the now week-old funeral/wake of bill jones last Sunday.  There had been a decent turnout of friends and good feelings—stuff that Kelly was in short supply of these days– And despite Jonesy’s passing it had been a good time.

  And part of that good time was Rigby’s absence.  Because, even though Kelly had contacted ( rigby ) in the first place,  he was immensely happy that the out of state realtor had been a no-show, which is what, he , Kelly had wanted all along.

 In fact, Kelly didn’t even want to tell Rigby at all about the sudden death of their longtime buddy.   He had helped contact some friends and colleagues that he wanted to see, but actually only got in touch with Rigby because Marty had asked him to.  

 So he had gotten on LinkedIn and tapped out a message to Rigby.  No big deal, it took all of four, five minutes maybe less.  But the fucker never got back to him.   What’s more, Rigby had contacted Marty later and said how he was coming and no doubt, had shared how shocked he, Rigby, was that Jonesy, 70 year-old bachelor still living in the same nabe for more than 40 years had passed on.

 Boo-hoo,  what a crocodile-tear motherfucker and yet he couldn’t pass a word back to Kelly!  Not a “thanks” or “that’s shame, I’ll try to make it” or “ I can’t make it”. Whatever. It was small change, he knew.  After all he and Rigby were mere acquaintances these days. For years now, maybe decades, not rivals, not friends—just two guys who used to work together and for a short while lived together in a slum tenement 5th floor walk up, back when the Williamsburg community was filled with Hispanics and Hasidic Jews ( hasids ) and not too many whites.  And definitely not whites with money.

 It didn’t help that the last time he saw Rigby at a similar reunion event 5 years back,  Georgie-boy had just entered the meeting room and pointedly looked at Kelly who was standing then with a small crowd of people and cracked ,  “ I thought you were dead.,” before moving on with greetings to others as he worked the room like some hack politician.

 [ Truth be told that same reunion/ get together was the last time that he saw Jonesy alive.  He had been out of touch with Jonesy for years even though though they had been very close buddies in the ‘70s.   The next decades they both managed to live in Brooklyn but not socialize; mostly because the black school teacher stayed weird,  never married nor had kids and had kept up his aging beatnik cum social justice “hero” routine  in Williamsburg,  while Kelly moved onto to Park Slope and then to Staten Island middle-classing himself up in the process.]

 But way Back then when it all started Rigby,  Marty, Kelly and JOnesy  were all VISTA volunteers sent  to help fight poverty in this very rundown north Brooklyn community in the ‘70s.  These days Kelly was fighting his own underemployment by flailing away at home on the computer and on the phone to sell clients;  a contractor working 20 cents on the dollar commission for an online advertising group,

 It was a losing battle which his wife began to remind him about more and more frequently.  But right now Sunday p.m.  instead of  thinking what clients he should go after or for that matter, who would hire a 60 year-old dude for media work or any kind of work,  he was instead thinking about Rigby sitting pretty in suburban Virginia and studiously, casually? ignoring him from afar.

   George Rigby had played the game well and was reaping the rewards, among which was ignoring Kelly without any impunity.   Kelly was far from the levers of favor or power that guys like Rigby loved and feared.

 ?Probably Rigby would have ignored Jonesy if the situation had been reversed  and it was Kelly who had died and Jonesy who had been doing the contacts.   Because like Kelly, Jonesy wasn’t relevant any more.  

 On the other hand, Marty he looked up immediately because Marty was wired.  The still trim attorney had heard from Rigby no doubt right away. For sure, because Marty had community contacts with local housing groups and had clout.  The aging attorney could still bring influence, good will and ultimately money to the table.

   BUT now  or rather where can we go fromhere???  Back to the podcast ,b rother! And maybe steal some idears from Van’s other victims

  Now drifting into  in daydream overdrive Kelly  immediately saw himself  and “ the Great Rigby” on a grassy palisades engaged in an old fashioned, single shot pistol duel where he turned and fired first  butg away and then shitface turned and fired a direct hit to Kelly’s chest which exploded in blood.  No wait, he took the first shot and winged Rigby instead, who fired back..

 “Jeff !!,  where are you????  

“Upstairs, “  

“ Quick, I need you down here in basement”  

yeah, yeah coming “ he answerd , hoping it wasn’t a flood from washing machine or anything that demanded cleanup of

JEFF”  a shell burst, incoming disaster brewing…

Now Offering Service to Stop Foreclosure in Williamsburg, Virginia

Williamsburg, VA - With Dependable Homebuyers in Williamsburg, one has the ability to sell their home quickly and painlessly. While they have always worked with homeowners in a variety of situations, they would like to announce their new service geared towards Williamsburg homeowners who find themselves behind on payments. The fact that homeowners can sell their home even in the face of an impending foreclosure is something only offered by a handful of professional home buying companies. Dependable Homebuyers is a national home-buying company with experience in Williamsburg, VA and beyond.After a certain point, it is important that a homeowner understands when making mortgage payments is no longer possible. Acknowledging this point can sometimes help a homeowner to get ahead of impending foreclosure proceedings. Selling a home quickly to Dependable Homebuyers means selling the property to them directly. When they purchase a home, they also purchase everything that concerns the current state of that home. Nothing further will be required of the homeowner, once they have completed the fast-paced process of selling to Dependable Homebuyers.Because of their experience in buying homes all across the country, including Williamsburg, they have some invaluable advice for homeowners facing foreclosure. It comes down to selling the home quickly before the foreclosure process has gone too far. Their home buying solution is tailored for properties in thei exact situation and is available today. This solution takes into account the speed with which the foreclosure process can move and provides homeowners the professional guidence that they need to navigate the foreclosure process. After bringing both of these services together, it becomes clear that their solution is perfect for someone who needs to sell and sell quickly and are behind on payments.Interestingly enough, even if a homeowner is not behind on payments, there is still an excellent chance that Dependable Homebuyers will be able to purchase their Williamsburg home a fair price in an expediented fashion. This route is appealing for homeowners who are familiar with the challenges of selling a home through traditional means. There is the task of finding a realtor, which can be time-consuming unto itself. There are also matters related to inspections, appraisals, repairs, and so much more. Taken as a whole, it is not difficult to see a process that can take months, even years. This is not a process designed for anyone who is trying to sell their home as a means of staving off foreclosure which is why Dependable Homebuyer's newly announced solution fills a much need void in the marketplace.Selling to Dependable Homebuyers is a process that can be started and finish in as few as two weeks. For anyone who needs to sell their home before it is too far along in the foreclosure process should contact the company as soon as possible. Once a homeowner contacts Dependable Homebuyers, the home-buying company then conducts its own research and provides a cash offer within a matter of hours. If the homeowner accepts, they can receive their money once the property closes. It is imperative that a homeowner facing foreclosure should act quickly. The last thing anyone actually wants to experience is to have a bank foreclosing on their property. By keeping in mind the possibility of Dependable Homebuyers, this is not something a homeowner has to necessarily worry about. Dependable Homebuyers goes as far as even buying hoarder houses as described at https://www.pressadvantage.com/story/24842-dependable-homebuyers-is-now-buying-hoarder-houses-in-williamsburg-virginia. Source: https://ift.tt/2TPtjKs ActiveRain Post: https://ift.tt/2WhwCHd Homebuyers’ ActiveRain profile can be viewed here:https://ift.tt/2CrpqRg Homebuyers’ ActiveRain blog can be viewed here:https://ift.tt/2Qp0gvx Dependable Homebuyers109 Warwick Hills, Williamsburg, VA 23188(757) 347-0457

Single family home sales up, prices down from last year

More sales and lower prices could prove encouraging for emerging residential developments in the city such as Quarterpath, pictured here. (Rodrigo Arriaza / Virginia Gazette)

Potential homebuyers in the Greater Williamsburg area have a lot to think about as the real estate market steadily improves during the first quarter of 2018, with more homes sold and at lower prices than in the first three months of 2017.

The Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors reports that 12 more single-family homes have been sold from January to March in Williamsburg, James City and York counties than in the first quarter of last year.

The group, which is comprised of more than 400 Realtors across the Greater Williamsburg area, covers Williamsburg, James City County, York County, New Kent County, Charles City County, Newport News, Hampton, Surry and Gloucester.

“I feel right now that we’re going to have another very good spring in terms of home sales,” said Lisa Noon, president and CEO of the Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors. “Overall, we’re looking to see 2018 be another good year.”

Michael Hartnett, Williamsburg branch manager for mortgage lending company PrimeLending, says he has seen an overall increase in interested homebuyers looking for mortgages across the Peninsula.

“I would say it’s definitely heating up,” Hartnett said. “What I do is I look at how many people are pre-approved and are looking for houses, and my pipeline of people who are ready to go to try and find a house is definitely bigger than last year.”

Hartnett says possible reasons for the increase in closed sales include a low inventory, which encourages potential homebuyers to act fast, as well as lower prices.

“People say they’re just looking, but all of a sudden, they decide to sign a contract,” Hartnett said. “They say they’re just going to look right now and come back later on, but while they’re here, they’re seeing that there’s just not a lot of inventory so if they see something they really like, they’re jumping on it.”

Average selling prices for single-family homes in Williamsburg and James City and York counties have gone down by $22,747 in the first three months of 2018 when compared to figures from last year. This marks the continuation of a downward trend in pricing that started last December, according to reports released by the area Realtors Association.

As a result, homes are selling faster, but for less. Homes across the Greater Williamsburg area sat on the market for an average of 43 days before being sold during the first quarter of 2018, a full three weeks less than it took for homes to sell during the same three month period in 2017.

Jay Mitchell, president of the Virginia Realtors Association, says this quick turnaround in sales matches a statewide trend.

“As you can tell, we’re already into a season where inventory is tight and properties are moving quickly,” Mitchell said. “There’s not a ton of inventory out there, so people are finding what they need if they’re lucky, and they’re getting what they want fairly quickly.”

Home inventory

Inventory has steadily improved in Williamsburg, James City and York counties since the beginning of the year, but numbers in the region are still recovering from the drop that followed the end of last year’s peak in the summer selling season. At the end of March, the three localities reported a combined inventory of 680 homes, which is well under the 793 homes on the market last August.

Mitchell says this drop in supply is partly due to homeowners deciding to expand their homes rather than put them on the market.

“A lot of people are comfortable with their house or they’re deciding that they want to do some improvements,” Mitchell said. “The economy, while it’s volatile, is pretty good, so they can say ‘I really like where I live, I think I’ll make some enhancements to the house I’m in and keep it.’ ”

Allen Barber, president of Johnson Mortgage Company, says entry-level homes in the $125,000 to $250,00 range tend to sell much faster than high-end luxury homes or those in gated communities such as Kingsmill or Governor’s Land.

“There seems to be plenty of product at the higher end of the market, and since prices have been hit pretty good over the last 10 years at the upper end of the market, they’ve never really recovered from 2006 back to their full values,” Barber said. “At the lower end of the market, supply is much, much tighter. There are very few houses on the market and a lot of times, there are multiple bidders for the same house.”

As far as the kinds of home proving to be market movers, Noon points to a recent surge in sales for entry-level attached homes at an average price of $240,694 across the region. On the other hand, average prices for detached houses sit at $373,728. She says recent retirees moving to the area have opted for condominiums rather than detached single-family houses.

“Interestingly, our detached market has been a little bit slower than our attached market,” Noon said. “We’ve got a really strong marketplace in the attached home sales — those are condos and townhouses — that are very popular in our area because we do have a lot of retirees … moving into the Williamsburg area.”

Despite sales performing well, recent increases to interest rates by the Federal Reserve may make those exploring the possibility of investing in a home cautious.

The Federal Reserve raised its key short-term interest rate by 0.25 percent in March, citing concerns about inflation. This marks the sixth rate increase since December 2015, and Noon says at least two more rate increases are expected this year. The current average for 30-year mortgage interest rates is 4.33 percent; and it was at 4.15 percent in 2017.

Sources agree that sales will begin to pick up in the transition into the summer months. This follows a typical yearly trend, where sales increase and the home supply improves during the summer selling season, then drops back off in the fall and into winter.

“The market should start picking up from here out,” Barber said. “The supply should get better because a lot of people want to move, especially families who like to move after school’s out, so you should start to see properties listed for the next couple of months that have not been on the market in the wintertime. I would think that we should get a little boost to our supply situation over the next couple of months, which will help the buyers.”

“Typically April is a month where we see a great deal of activity,” Noon said. “There are some good signs that April is probably going to be a very solid closed-sales marketplace.”

16 Wrenfield Lane Featured in Greenwich Time

Summer may be over, despite the unseasonably warm temperatures this region has experienced. Those people who have a chance to walk through the backyard at 16 Wrenfield Lane might not be convinced autumn has arrived because the gorgeous perennial gardens on this nearly two-acre property are brimming with color, especially from its numerous rose bushes.

Then again, these gardens were designed to produce “an ever-changing bounty of color from spring to summer and right into fall,” according to the realtor.

If the gardens and the overall landscaping look this good now imagine how beautiful they will be next spring and summer. Until then, the next owners of the property and the custom red brick Tidewater colonial house will just have to “settle” for spending time indoors. This house has 4,827 square feet of living space with a number of places to sit and relax and to entertain family and friends including the classically elegant formal living room and the casual sun room.

The house is set high on a hill “next to heaven,” the realtor said, well back from the road at the end of a cul-de-sac. It has a distinctive Mansard wood roof. The house was built in 1990 and was influenced by the houses in the Tidewater area typically thought of as southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina but the Tidewater region does not have defined edges. “A historian may consider Tidewater to be the location of early Colonial settlement around the Chesapeake Bay up to the 1730s,” according to the website www.virginiaplaces.org. Colonial Williamsburg lies within that boundary.

The focal point of this home’s front entrance is its butterfly staircase. There is a covered front porch at the far end of one side. Inside, the house is very well thought out and laid out, and it is imbued with warmth, charm, privacy, and quality. It has intimate spaces and places for large scale entertaining. It can accommodate a comfortable, casual backyard picnic or an elegant garden party or wedding.

The two-story foyer provides a center hall reception space. The entryways from one room to the next are arched and topped with keystones and there is entablature above the front door from the interior. That attractive millwork sets the tone for the rest of the house, which has architectural points of interest in almost every one of its 11 rooms. And yet, the realtor said, “The drama is in its simplicity.” The house does evoke thoughts of a simpler time and way of life while it also dovetails nicely into modern living. It has seven bedrooms, an in-ground swimming pool, an office or library, flexible rooms that can be used a number of ways to suit the needs of its occupants, and lots of storage space.

There are four more bedrooms, all en suite, on the second floor, and on the lower level there are two more rooms, both which could be bedrooms or could function as play or game rooms. One of those rooms has a full bath.

This house is walking distance to Ox Ridge Elementary School. Commuters take note, this house is just over a mile from the Talmadge Hill train station in neighboring New Canaan and only two miles from downtown Darien and its Metro North train station.

Additionally, there is a separate buildable 1.387-acre lot available for purchase at $1,400,000.
