Year Built:	1996
Notes:	A truly rare find in the heart of Williston. This charming 3 bedroom, 2 bath Cape is located on 3 acres of wooded land. While conveniently located near the Village and retail amenities, this home is very private being situated back from the road and shielded by the trees. The first floor of the home is both cozy and spacious. As you enter the home, you are greeted by the living room featuring a wood stove and the home's private den just to the right of the main entrance featuring hardwood floors. As you continue on the home opens up to the remodeled kitchen featuring butcher block countertop overlooking the wonderful great room with vaulted wood ceiling and gas fireplace. The great room has tons of natural light from its many windows as well as the door leading to the home's private back deck, which peers out over the expansive lawn and large wooded lot. Back inside the first floor, you will find one of the home's three bedroom as well as a 3/4 bath. Moving upstairs you will find two spacious bedrooms as well as the home's full bath. The lower level is finished and thanks to the grading of the lot it has a good amount of natural daytime light. The real gem of this home is the expansive outdoor area. In addition to the deck, there is a stone patio, garden areas, berry bushes and paths leading to the Allen Brook. This home is also close to Williston's top notch local schools and an easy commute to the Airport, UVM Medical Center and Lake Champlain. A must see and a rare find.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest.

The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered.

VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale.

This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments.

Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
