Greetings from B & A Realtors
Greetings!

A Condo for $160,000?

Unheard of just a few years ago in The Villages Golf & Country Club.    Prices may never be lower!

The Villages are experiencing a depreciation in home prices like the rest of the Valley and nation.    Fantastic buying opportunities now exist. 

The Villages Golf & Country Club  is made up of over 2500 Villas and homes ranging in size from 650 - 2490 sq. ft.     The current offering prices are from $160,000 to over $1 million.   This community is a "hidden find" located in the Diablo Mountain range in the Silver Creek/Evergreen District of San Jose.
Buying 'as is': bargain or burden?

A down economy means big savings, but not necessarily a great deal.

Potential homeowners need to do their due diligence when considering purchasing a short sale or a foreclosure property.   In The Villages, unlike many other places in the area,  these properties will not be burdened with foundation, roof, and/or termite issues as those items are covered by the Homeowner Association dues.  

The bargain buys in The Villages may need some TLC and cosmetic updates such as bathroom and kitchen remodeling.   With such a saving in purchase price, this is a minimal expense to move into the gated privacy of an Active Adult Senior Community.


Clock is Ticking...

With rates near historic low levels and an $8,000 tax credit due to expire on November 30, 2009,   NOW is a great time to buy.   
Experts suggest signing a contract by October 15 to make the November 30 deadline -- the date the sale must be complete in order to cash in on the federal tax credit of up to $8,000 for first-time home buyers.


Take advantage NOW of the Free Money and bargain purchasing!

Thank you for becoming a FAN of B&A Realtors.  I welcome you, your family and/or friends to become my new neighbors in this beautiful community.

Sincerely,
