West Saint Tammany Home Values

by Wayne Turner

The first half of this years home values are rolling steady.  Closed homes sales are up 5% (637 closed) from last year while the average sales price of a home has decreased slightly by 7.82%.  This is in part due to the increase in foreclosed and short sale properties being sold within St. Tammany Parish.  We have personally seen homes sales increase in the last two months.  We currently have 19 houses under contract and successfully managing 53 listing.

"HUD Homes. . .50% Discount"

by Wayne Turner

You have got to read this and pass it on to your friends and family.  HUD is offering homes at a 50% discount to Law enforcement officers, pre-Kindergarten through 12th grade teachers and firefighters/emergency medical technicians.  You must be a first time home buyer or have not owned a home for 1 year. 

What is a HUD home?  HUD homes in the simplest form are FHA foreclosures.  You can get a 50 percent discount off the HUD appraised value. For example, if HUD lists a home at $200,000, you can buy it for $100,000 provided; you occupy the home as your personal residence for the required 3 year occupancy period.  If you qualify for any FHA-insured mortgage program, your down payment is only $100 and your closing cost is covered by HUD.

How it works:  Buyers get a 1st mortgage on 50% of the appraised value which is the listed price of the home.  They get a 2nd mortgage on the other 50%.  Here is the BIG DEAL. . .There are no payments or interest on the second mortgage.  If you buy a $200,000 home your payment is based on just $100,000 at a fixed rate which is less that 5% interest.  Payment would be approx. $785 on a 30 year fixed loan (this includes taxes and insurance).   If you live in the house for 3 plus years then sell the home you keep any equity, profit and appreciation.  If you sell the home before the 3 year agreement a prorated portion of the profit will have to be paid back to HUD.  If you sell it after three years for what you bought it for you just made $100,000.
