Fox Hollow in Trinity is home to some of the area’s most sought-after subdivisions; the gated community of Upper Montclair is one.

Nestled on an oversized corner lot that is just over .25 acres is this beautiful 2 Bedroom, 2 Full Bath, 2 Car Garage home plus den/home office.

A lovely assortment of trees and shrubbery accent the exterior.

The oversized, screened lanai is vaulted; creating more of a wide, open feel with views of the scenic neighborhood, yet still presenting plenty of room to furnish a private outdoor retreat.

Clean lines, clever architectural niches, and soaring ceilings welcome you to the home’s interior.

The spacious foyer is adjacent to the sunny home office with its set of classic French doors. This room would also make for the perfect library or tranquil sitting room.

A cool, airy feeling throughout is provided courtesy of the Great Room plan.

The appealing kitchen is spacious with tons of cabinetry/counter space, a flush-mount stove top, pantry, recessed lighting, and a breakfast bar for casual dining, in addition to a windowed breakfast nook offering views of the lanai and the living room.

Both baths are immaculate with lovely finishes, while the master bath boasts an indulgent garden tub, dual sinks, a separate shower stall, and ceiling height peek-a-boo windows that provide light and a dramatic flourish.

With its recently painted exterior, new roof in 2014, and newer A/C in 2010 all you’ll need to do is move in and then lounge on a chaise by the heated community pool.

Don’t Sell Yourself Short

/in , , /by

In any buyers’ market, the quest for the best deal is foremost on the property seeker’s mind. But there are many misconceptions about what constitutes a great opportunity.  Just because a home is listed as a “short sale in Trinity!” does not mean it is your best option. And the same goes for bank owned properties; on all fronts, buyers need to be very sure about what they are getting themselves into.

Short Sales in Trinity – Pricing vs. Value

For instance, a “short sale” does not mean it is listed at a better price than other homes in the neighborhood. The lender wants to recover as much of the money owed to them as possible, so the amount they agreed to accept from a buyer is typically pretty much in step with fair market value.

Besides, there are a ton of motivated sellers on the market whose homes are priced as well as any short sale. The difference to the potential buyer is that these sellers are adjusting their prices commensurate with market fluctuations. Today’s short sale property could potentially be worth less after the three, six, twelve months that it can take to get the contract to the closing table.

Property Condition

A short sale property may not be receiving the best care. Since the seller is likely encountering financial difficulties, they may be prohibited from consistently maintaining  it.

And if you go down the road of a bank owned home, you won’t have benefit of a real live seller with whom to negotiate repairs; and the pool, roof, and lawn may not be in the best condition. You are instead dealing with a financial institution that is backed by a battery of attorneys; your list of repairs and your concerns are inconsequential.

Short sale or bank owned — you may not just be capitalizing on someone else’s misfortune; you may very well be inheriting a headache, tread cautiously.

Trinity Foreclosures

 The homes for sale inventory may offer a large selection of foreclosure opportunities, but sometimes an inexpensive home can cost you plenty.

We’ve heard stories from other agents about home buyers who have had to make offers on a number of different homes because the home inspection reports came back full of high ticket repair items. These issues ultimately made the cost of the home not only prohibitive, but quickly took the “great” out of the “deal.” (Besides, many REO (real estate owned) properties carry an “As Is” status, so you can’t even negotiate repairs.)

Great neighborhoods and gorgeous homes can harbor some overwhelming issues like leaks that have gone unattended creating structural and mold damage, and a host of other little things that turn into big things when a home is abandoned.

Oftentimes a distressed home owner has other priorities that don’t include conducting their property maintenance checklist and spending money on things like gutter cleaning, window caulking, roof repairs, pool upkeep, and other run of the mill repairs.

The other reality is that people who are planning their strategic foreclosure or are filing bankruptcy are not necessarily going to be concerned about the future value of their home. They’ve already deemed it without value as they no longer intend to pay their mortgage; so therefore, they don’t tend to the property.

In this market, sometimes you really do get what you pay for and a $300,000 home for the price of $100,000 may be worth just that and you’ll need to pump a lot of money into the home to repair and restore it to its former glory.

Regardless of an incredible opportunity, always have a thorough home inspection conducted by a trusted professional and don’t start measuring for window treatments until you have assurance that your new home is what it seems.
