Finance Options: What First-time Homebuyers Should Know

First-time homebuyers have a lot to think about, but probably the first thing is how they will afford a home. Fortunately, there are many programs designed to help first-time homebuyers make their dreams of owning a home come true. It all comes down to the amount of your down payment and your credit scores. Here are some of the options.

Low-cost Conventional Loans

Conventional loans are the more traditional loans, ones that are not affiliated with a government program but follow government regulated guidelines. If a homebuyer can qualify for a conventional loan, that’s great! Depending on the market rates, these loans can be some of the best around, especially now when rates are hovering below 4%!

With the relaxation of lending regulations over the past year, there are conventional loan programs available with as little as 3% down with no mortgage insurance premium! The applicant must meet the necessary guidelines, but this type of loan certainly is worth exploring.

FHA Loans
Loans that are insured by the Federal Housing Administration are known as FHA loans. These are loans given through private lenders, which are regulated by the FHA. FHA loans permit down payments as low as 3.5%. The most attractive feature for an FHA loan applicant is that FHA will allow for lower credit scores than those allowed for conventional loans. If your credit score is not pristine, this may be the place to turn.
USDA
The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) has a singly family guaranteed loan program. The loan program helps approved lenders offer low and moderate income households opportunity to buy a primary residence in an eligible rural area. The loans cover building, rehabilitating, improving or relocating the home.
While these loans can be extremely helpful to those who might not otherwise be able to afford a home, there are restrictions. However, if you meet the guidelines, USDA financing is a great program for many first-time homebuyers!

VHDA

VHDA stands for Virginia Housing Development Authority. The VHDA is a non-profit organization, which was developed by the Commonwealth in 1972. The VHDA’s mission is to provide mortgages, specifically for first-time homebuyers and developers of affordable rental properties. The VHDA uses no state taxpayer dollars. Rather, the organization raises money in capital markets to fund loans.

VHDA offers a variety of loans with low down payments. Borrowers might even qualify for assistance with down payments and closing costs. Note, though, that the VHDA sets its own rules for income eligibility.

VA Loans

VA loans are granted through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs (VA). The program is open to eligible veterans, current service members and surviving spouses. VA loans are made by private lenders and guaranteed by the VA.

One positive of VA loans is that these loans offer low-cost refinance options. They also offer protection if the borrower has difficulty paying the loan. These loans do not require a monthly mortgage insurance payment; however they do require a fee to be paid at closing. VA loans come with low or no down payment and are attractive to many eligible service members and their families.

With all these options, first-time homebuyers have a good chance of finding a program that meets their needs. It’s important to compare and contrast the options, though, to find the best rates and programs. A good mortgage lender can help educate first-time homebuyers and lead them through the process.

What You Should Know About Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and Power Lines

What You Should Know About Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) and Power Lines

Electromagnetic Fields, or EMF, has caused some stir locally, as Dominion Power plans to put up power lines in Western Prince William County. We thought it would be helpful to provide some research about EMF so people can make informed decisions, especially if they are moving into the area.

To start, EMF is the combined energy of electric and magnetic fields that surrounds any electrical device when it’s plugged in and turned on. Some people believe EMF may cause health issues, and they’re particularly concerned with living near power lines. How worrisome are power lines for your health? The United States Environmental Protection Agency has published some information about the safety of EMF.

According to the EPA, experiments have not clearly shown that exposure to EMF increases your risk for cancer. The issue is still being studied by scientists. They also say the strength of the field fades the further you get from the source.

Powerlines and smart meters do emit EMF; however according to the EPA, the fields from power lines have a much lower frequency than other types of EMF like microwaves or radio waves.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Science explains the difference between types of EMFs and which you may have to worry about as a potential health threat. Non-ionizing EMFs are emitted from sources like power lines, microwave ovens, computers, cell phones and Bluetooth devices. Non-ionizing EMFs are defined by the NIH as “low to mid-frequency radiation which is generally perceived as harmless due to its lack of potency.”

The other type of EMFs are ionizing and are emitted from sources like ultraviolet light, some gamma rays and certain x-rays. Ionizing EMFs are defined by NIH as “mid to high-frequency radiation which can, under certain circumstances, lead to cellular and/or DNA damage with prolonged exposure.”

If you happen to live near a power line, the amount of EMFs reaching inside your home will be very small.

NIH says that scientists have performed studies on the effects of EMF exposure to see if it causes disease. They said there were some studies that reported biological effects from EMF exposure, but many biological effects are within the normal range of variation and not necessarily negative health effects.

Both the EPA and the NIH essentially say that while EMFs should continue to be studied to ensure the safety of being exposed to them, there is not enough scientific evidence to say that there is any ill effect on your health from exposure to EMFs from power lines.

We at Jacobson Realty and Home Staging hope this information is helpful. If you would like to know more about our area, feel free to contact us.

Active Adult Communities in Gainesville, Haymarket and Bristow, and Surrounding Area of Virginia

Active Adult Communities in Gainesville, Haymarket and Bristow, and Surrounding Area of Virginia

You may have heard that 55 is the new 45. Builders are keeping this youthful spirit in mind when designing their active adult communities. These communities aren’t a place where you just play shuffleboard and grab the early bird special at 4. They are planned with active adults in mind. These builders realize that people are retiring later (and often are still commuting to jobs) and want engaging amenities conveniently located close to home. There are many communities in the Gainesville, Haymarket and Bristow areas that cater to the next generation of (soon-to-be) retirees. Check out these beautiful communities:

· Heritage Hunt in Gainesville – If you love to golf, this Lennar community is for you. Built around a championship 18-hole golf course, you can roll out of bed in the morning and tee off practically in your backyard, or find easy access to RT 66 for commuters. This gated community also brings you luxurious, country club living with dozens of amenities. Between them, three clubhouses offer a grand ballroom, activity rooms, a golf pro shop, fine dining, billiards and much more. This community offers maintenance-free living with accessible floor plans. You can choose from a luxury elevator condominium, low-maintenance duplex, villas, or a main-level living single-family home. If you love nature, you can enjoy the long walking paths throughout the community and absorb the scenic views of the Bull Run Mountain!

· Regency at Dominion Valley in Haymarket – Another golfer’s paradise, this Toll Brother’s community also boasts a terrific executive golf course and provides access to the standard Dominion Valley golf course. This upscale community also has condominium, attached and detached homes, so you can find the space that truly suits you. There are plenty of community activities. To stay fit and active, they have indoor and outdoor pools as well as a fitness center with an aerobics studio, a yoga room and a spin class. If you enjoy outdoor activities, there are many parks and on-site trails to explore. And you won’t have to worry about maintaining your yard here. They offer lawn and exterior care and snow removal as a few of the many community perks.

· Dunbarton in Bristow – Part of the larger Braemar community built by Brookfield Homes, this gated community has almost 500 single-family and attached home residences. It boasts many recreational activities and resort-style amenities, like a 21,000 square foot clubhouse, a library, a billiards parlor, a ballroom, an indoor and outdoor pools and a fitness center. Close to D.C., this is a great location if you have to commute to the city for work. It’s also close enough to the countryside, mountains and fabulous golf courses to be an ideal spot for retirement.

· NEW – Regency at Catharpin Creek in nearby Catharpin – This 125- acre active adult community by Toll Brothers is currently under construction. Infrastructure should be completed by the fall, with the possibility of pre-sales starting at that time. It will have the same Toll Brothers quality of construction and include a gated entrance, clubhouse, pools and walking trails, but it will not have a golf course. Phase one has been approved by Prince William County for 79 single-family units.

Why You Need an Open House

10.02.2016 siteowner Leave a comment

Why You Need an Open House

A public open house is a critical piece to marketing your home, especially if you need to do showings by appointment only. Your listing agent has the responsibility to get your home the most exposure to the public as possible, and while tools like Zillow and Trulia are great for online marketing, they don’t get people in the door like an open house will.

The open house is a coordinated event with you, the owner that allows the public to freely view your home with or without an agent during the timeframe of your choosing. It reduces the pressure on you as the owner to ready your house with little or no notice, and it provides freedom to the potential buyer to preview the home in a more leisurely manner. It’s essentially a win-win situation for both parties. Here are some frequently asked questions I get about open houses.

Do open houses only attract neighbors?

Not always. Keep in mind, though, that your neighbors are your friends. The more neighbors who know about your property, the more likely they will tell their friends and family about your listing.

Are public open houses always scheduled from 1 to 4 p.m. on Sundays?

No. However, many open houses are scheduled on Sunday afternoons to prevent conflicts with weekend and religious activities. Open houses can be scheduled any time of the week that works for you and makes sense for potential buyers. The time of day is also flexible. It’s a good idea to listen to the recommendations of your listing agent and coordinate a date and time that works best for you and for your potential buyers.

Is it important for a listing agent to offer food at an open house?

No. If a listing agent has a unique or desirable property listing, the open house will be very busy — especially if the house has been professionally staged. It’s best not to have food at a public open house. You spent a lot of time and effort readying your home for the open house, and you probably don’t want to go through sweeping up a day’s worth of crumbs and spills after it’s over. A small dish of candy and perhaps a bottle of water are considered gracious and all you really need to offer for a regular open house.

If your listing agent is planning a broker’s open house, usually simple luncheon food is provided. Why do you provide food for brokers? Because you want your listing agent to keep brokers on site to gain as much feedback as possible to understand the positioning and the perceived value, architectural flaws and overall perception of the property by other pros. This information will help your agent make adjustments to tweak your listing in a more favorable light. You want them to share their property experience with other agents who may have a buyer for your property. Food encourages people to stay a little longer and talk.

Do public open houses and broker opens always work?

No. They are simply additional marketing tools for your agent to use to provide exposure to your property. Listen to your listing agent about recommendations to determine if a public open house or broker’s open will work best, given the location of the property and time the property is being offered.

If you would like more information on open houses or anything else related to residential real estate, contact Jacobson Realty and Home Staging. We’d be happy to answer any questions.

Holiday Season Real Estate Bargains!

05.12.2015 siteowner Leave a comment

Holiday Season Real Estate Bargains!

We tend to think of the holiday season as a shopping season for gifts and food, but not for major investments. With major shopping days like Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we think of buying discounted toys, games and electronics. But around the holidays is actually a great time to look at purchasing a new home, too. Here are some reasons why you should shop now:

· New homes may be less expensive – Much like retailers, builders also want to close out the year with less inventory on their books. This could translate to a great deal for you as the buyer. Shopping for a brand new home during, and right after, the holiday season could really pay off. Some builders even offer incentives like free or discounted upgrades, so keep your eyes peeled for deals.

· Investors are looking to liquidate – Real estate investors also do not want to close the year out with a lot of inventory on their books. It’s more profitable for them to flip properties quickly, and they may be willing to lower their prices or take a little less than the asking price to sell quickly. An experienced real estate agent can help you find investor-owned properties that you can snap up for a great price.

· People want a fresh start for the new year – Around the beginning of the new year, people are motivated to make major changes in their lives. Maybe moving is on their agenda, but they really don’t want to wait for spring to get into that new home. Eager sellers can offer fantastic deals for buyers, so take a look now and see what bargains are out there.

· Sellers listing in off-peak times may have a bigger sense of urgency – People listing their homes in the winter months may have a bigger need to sell their homes than those who can wait until more optimal times to sell. There may be a little more wiggle room in the price, or you may be able to ask for help with closing costs as an added bonus.

· There is less competition among buyers – Fewer people looking to buy means you may not be up against as many competing offers that may drive up your bid on a home.

We know the holidays are a busy time of year, but with a little bit of planning and preparation, you can balance home shopping with all of the festivities. Finding a great home for a lower price will be well worth the little bit of extra effort. Jacobson Realty and Home Staging can help you get the most house for your money. If you’re ready to find out about real estate bargains and shop for a home this holiday season, contact us today!

Sizzling Kitchen Trends

Sizzling Kitchen Trends

Your kitchen is the heart of your home. Families come together for meals, celebrations and daily bonding time. You want your kitchen to be a warm and inviting space.There was a time when upgraded countertops and appliances were perks, but they have become the norm in kitchen design. So how do you make your kitchen stand out, when most kitchens look a little like gourmet kitchens? Here are some design trends that are breaking out as we head into 2016.

· White, grey or mixed color palate cabinets – White cabinets have been pretty popular over the past few years, and they continue to be, as the highest selling cabinets of today. But according to HGTV, kitchen manufacturers contest that grey is the new breakout shade in kitchen cabinet design. Paint your cabinets a soft grey to give your kitchen a modern feel. Another trend that’s emerging in kitchen cabinets is combining cabinet colors, where some cabinets are white or grey while others are traditional stained wood.

· New functionality in cabinets – Hardware manufacturers, like Blum, are changing the look and the way cabinet doors and drawers function. In kitchens where space is an issue, hydraulic, easy close doors that fold up and out of the way at the touch of a button are game changers.

· Brightly colored sinks – Gone are the days of boring old stainless steel or white sinks. With the neutral color palates of today’s kitchens, you can add in a pop of color with your sink and capture the same element of color in your backsplash to offer some visual interest.

· Black and white design palette – Black and white design has been seen in many iterations over the years, making it both classic and contemporary. You can juxtapose white cabinetry and walls with black appliances and granite countertops for great visual contrast.

· Bold light fixtures – Adding large, bold light fixtures is a budget-friendly way to spice up your space. Choose fixtures that really speak to your personal sense of style, and don’t be afraid if they look a little large for the space. Much like adding a pop of color, adding one or two oversized fixtures will add visual interest to the trendy, muted palates of kitchen design today.

· Leverage technology – Today you can even automate your kitchen. You can install a hands-free faucet, motion sensor lights or even a meat thermometer that alerts your smartphone when your dinner is fully cooked. Don’t rely purely on design and count functionality out when you’re designing your dream kitchen. Think about what will make your life easier, and you can almost guarantee there’s a gadget out there to help.

· Maximize storage – If you have stacks of plastic storage containers (that never seem to have just the right lid), you need freshly designed storage solutions. You can get great additions, from designers like Hafele, like multi-tiered drawers to help maximize your storage space.

If you’re confused by all the options out there and are trying to sell your home, it’s best to consult with a professional stager. Jacobson Realty and Home Staging is here to help you decide what will really stand out. If you’re buying a home, we can talk about kitchen and other options that could really affect your decisions. Call us at (703) 338-9678 or (703) 753-0125.

We at Jacobson Realty and Home Staging have our finger on the pulse of the community! Join us when The Manassas Chorale presents the “Princesses and Pirates” Fall Concert. Hear your favorite Disney princess tunes and rollicking songs of the sea performed by the Chorale, Ensemble and soloists, and meet special guests in the lobby after the show!

New assisted living coming soon!

Opening later in 2015, Tribute at Heritage Village, an assisted living community, will offer luxury living with lots of amenities designed for those who need a little extra help.

The community will have advanced building design, integrated technology and best-in-class care for patients. Tribute will also have memory care, a specific kind of long-term skilled care for patients with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other neurological challenges.

Tribute will offer active living with fun and engaging choices for residents who will be able to enjoy a balance of mental engagement, emotional enrichment and physical activity each day with on- and off-site activities such as dancing, live music, boutique shopping, reading, wine and cheese tasting, gardening, bingo, card games, art classes and brain games.

If you or someone you know would like more information on all that Heritage Hunt has to offer, contact Belinda at (703) 753-0125 or Belinda@JacobsonRealty1.com.

Regency at Catharpin Creek

Regency at Catharpin Creek, an assisted living community planned to be built at 5570 Catharpin Rd. was approved in April of last year. The Board of County Supervisors voted yes on the rezoning of 102 acres from agriculture to planned-mixed residential for an age-restricted community with a maximum of 208 single-family houses.

Although the community would fit with surrounding communities in Gainesville, such as Parks of Piedmont and Heritage Hunt, it would differ from its neighbors to the north along Catharpin Road, where housing is less dense. Regency will be made up of only single-family homes, no apartments or townhouses, in order to fit into the more rural feel of the area. In addition, about 55 percent of the overall property will be open space.

While the builder has not announced a timeline for completion, Regency will have easy access to a walking trail, a nice amenity for residents to enjoy local, natural beauty.

Stay tuned, as Jacobson Realty and Home Staging will keep a close eye on the development of this unique community!

Here are some aspects of the community that draw people to the area and keep them there.

Free Public Events – Haymarket is always hopping with community events like Haymarket Day, Oktoberfest and their Friday Family Summer Concert series. During these events, local musicians, artists and businesses show residents and visitors what life in Western Prince William County is all about. The next exciting free event will be the “Arts Alive” program at the Hylton Performing Art Center at the George Mason Campus in Prince William County on May 2^ndfrom Noon-4pm.

If you like to relax and dine with friends or play 18 holes of golf, you might enjoyEvergreen Country Club, Dominion Valley Country Club, Broad Run Golf and Practice Facility or the Stonewall Golf Course. Our golf courses are so high quality, the Robert Trent Jones Club at Lake Manassas in Gainesville is where Tiger Woods will be hosting the 2015 Quicken Loans National from July 27-August 2, 2015. One of the premier stops on the PGA Tour, this event raises funds and awareness for the Tiger Woods Foundation and pays tribute to our armed forces. Buy your tickets early!

Parks – Western Prince William County has open space that brings people together. Whether it be for a Grizzlies football game, soccer games on lighted fields, a hike on Bull Run Mountain or a picnic in the park, this part of the county offers fields, streams and mountains, as well as a plethora of historic sites such as the untouched beauty of the Manassas Battlefield grounds that encourage residents and visitors to learn more about the history and attractions of this special region.

Nonprofits – Western Prince William County is a place where nonprofits work to enhance the lives of those with particular needs. Some nonprofits work directly with those they serve. For Example, Rainbow Therapeutic Riding Center in Haymarket provides therapeutic horseback riding and equine activities for those with disabilities. The Benedictine Sisters in Bristow provide services for homeless women and their children and free instruction for English language learners. There are also organizations like Dominion Woman’s Club that support other nonprofits organizations.
