Short Sales and the Banks

by Nancy on June 28, 2010

Nancy Austin There’s going to be a revolution. There are 180,000 people waiting to close on short sales. Banks are not moving quickly enough to close by the June 30 deadline. It turns out that Congress hasn’t fully approved the extension of that deadline. Does anyone remember how revered the banks used to be? Does anyone wonder why they aren’t anymore?

Homeowner credit

by Nancy on June 28, 2010

Nancy Austin Doesn’t look like Congress is going to extend the tax credit deadline this week. In all liklihood, if passed, will have to be retroactive to get the $8,000 credit. if the congressman were waiting for a tax credit, don’t you think it would have already been extended?

[EDIT]

As Nancy Austin’s assistant, I wanted to share my experience as I strolled through Botsford Commons.

I am over 50 and I viewed this complex as if I might move there.  It didn’t take me long to fall in love with this comfortable and most importantly QUIET atmosphere.  I strolled down the winding road that circled the clubhouse.  I would breathe in deeply and take in all the nature around me.  Am I in a city??  Surely I must be in the country.  It’s this fragrant pocket of sunshine, trees, and life.

So what is life like here, I ask myself.  I’m decide to peek in on one of the condos that recently sold.  I walked into a lovely home with neutral colors, 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a fireplace and my own deck to sit quietly drink my coffee in the morning!!  Discreetly Included in the condo are:

  1. No steps at the entrance door so you do not have to step up or anywhere
  2. unless there is a basement. Some units have basements.
  3. Pull cords in case of emergency
  4. Security 24 hours
  5. Bathtub with built in seat and grab bars
  6. Walk-in shower with built in grab bars
  7. Attached garage

Additonal amenities offered on the premises in addition to the wonderful condos are:      Clubhouse with indoor pool, dining room, movie theater, library, crafts.Also included for residents are day trips, health-care options, independent-living apartments, physical therapy, cardiac rehabilitation  and  other professional services should the resident need to be transferred to assisted living or the Alzheimer’s Unit.

This year eight of the condos sold and only one remains for sale.!!! Most of the condos are two bedroom but a few are three bedroom.

As I got in my car to leave, I took one more ride around the circle and said: ”I could definitely liver here!!”
