About Holland's Village Shires

Village Shires community is located in Holland, Bucks County Pa. in Council Rock School district.

There are homes with different floor plans and styles.

I looked up the mls last week to look for homes that sold recently.

Here are some of the sales :

1 BR 1 bth 29 year old 1 story condo sold for $120,000. Taxes were $2254 and condo fees are $183 / m

3 Br 1.5 bath 2 story condo sold for $207,500 Taxes $3284

3 Br 1.5 baths townhouse with home owner's association sold for $213,000 HOA fees are $126/Q

3 Br 2.5 bath end unit with hoa fees of $126/q sold for $240,000 It has a full basement.

If you would like to buy a home in Council Rock school district you should consider Village Shires.

This 1 Bedroom, 1 Bath, 733 sq. ft. condo in Village Shires recently dropped it's price to $118,900! This is a phenomenal deal as the lowest price for a 1 bedroom in Northampton this year was $153,000.

3023 Shepherds Way

Following is a closing cost estimate using an FHA Loan which only requires a 3.5% Down Payment and allows the seller to give the buyer a 6% Seller Assist reducing the buyers closing costs to under $5,000. The closing cost estimate below is based on a 4.5% interest rate on an FHA Loan, and includes paying the first years homeowners insurance estimated at $500 per year, paying the monthly & quarterly association fees, completing all home inspections estimated at $620, and escrowing the homeowners insurance monthly. So everything is included so there aren't any hidden costs.

Village Shires 1 bedroom condos tend to rent between $900 - $1,000 per month. The estimated closing cost above has the buyer paying $1,100 per month so for just $100 you can urchase rather than rent in the same development. The tax write offs the buyer would receive for Mortgage Interest & Real Estate Taxes would be just over $7,000 per year which would make up for the slightly higher cost.

On top of this you would own your own home instead of being subject to your landlord raising rent each year and considering the lowest price this year for a 1 bedroom condo in Village Shires was $153,000 every upgrade you made would be a sound investment. I personally toured this home & you could just move right in although I would replace the carpets myself. I can't speak for the utilities as you should always have a home inspector review the house, but it looks like the costs to move in could be fairly low.

If you've been thinking about buying intead of renting give me a call for a one on one no pressure no obligation consultation to discuss your situation. For a private showing of 3023 Shepherds Way just give me a call.
