May 29th U.S Housing and Urban Development Secretary (HUD) Shaun Donovan announced that the $8,000 tax credit offered through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 can now be used towards the 3.5% down payment OR closing costs for FHA loans! The tax credit currently only could be accessed after the purchase of the home, but this new revision will allow first time home buyers to immediately put their credit to work towards the purchase of the home. This new found flexibility will open up doors for even more first time home buyers who were struggling to save the initial 3.5% down payment and additional closing costs.

Currently the FHA allows parents, employers and other government entities to contribute towards the down payment, but now with the tax credit potential home buyers will have yet another source to help bridge the initial expenses to purchase a home. I know I'm not the first, but the more REALTORS that write about it, the further this great new will travel. Please visit www.hud.gov/news/release for more information. Sing it from the roof tops! We can make this market great with good deals and better mortgage products!

This wonderful town's rich heritage is reflected in its many historic buildings and the Civil War battle sites throughout the surrounding area. A former winner of the prestigious "All-American Community" award, Winchester is home to approximately 25,000 residents known for civic pride, community spirit and dedication to their town's progressive growth.

The "Top of Virginia" is situated in the heart of the picturesque Shenandoah Valley, about 65 miles northwest of Washington, D.C. Located in this beautiful pastoral setting is Frederick County and within the county lies Winchester, the oldest English city west of the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains. Known as the "Apple Capital," the city is the home of the annual Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival - a celebration of spring's arrival and the blooming of the apple trees. In fact, Frederick County is known as one of the nation's largest producers of apples and peaches and is the state's leading harvester of these crops. A modern, dynamic city with outstanding medical resources and a thriving economy supported by technical manufacturing and telecommunications.

Houses is affordable, with a variety of townhouses, condominiums and single-family detached homes available in lovely quiet neighborhoods. Whether you seek a modest home with acreage, a country club estate or a spacious horse property, you're sure to find it. Winchester provides an unparalleled quality of life, a small-town environment and a low cost of living.

Snowden Bridge is one of Frederick County's hidden treasures.  (Disclosure, I've fallen in love with the neighborhood).  After working with two clients exploring Snowden Bridge as a neighborhood to build in, I just couldn't wait to share my enthusiasm for another set of clients who are relocating from somewhere south in the state. 

Of course, a little data would be nice, too! 

Located just north of Winchester, VA and an approximate 8 minutes from the Winchester Medical Center, Snowden Bridge is one community you don't want to leave out on your house tour!
