Tennessee's first Certified Green Neighborhood by NAHB includes Certified Energy Star® Certified Homes!  Groves Park Commons, named for the important faces in the Manhattan Project, is located in Oak Ridge just minutes from the commercial district and all amenities.  A Traditional Neighborhood Development (TND) with miles of trails, parks, play areas and lots of attention on outdoor spaces!  "The saying “Everything old is new again” is true even in the planning world. One of the hot topics in urban development today is Traditional Neighborhood Design (TND), or New Urbanism, or neo-traditional design among other names. The New Urbanist development and TND design movements have several objectives, but with the overall design aiming for a return to the pedestrian-scaled communities of yesterday, and away from the heavily segregated use structure present in most contemporary zoning ordinances. TND developments have been proposed that create self-contained communities on the fringe of larger urban areas, or even in rural areas. TND can achieve community-building where a community did not exist previously, assuming infrastructure can be installed to support the planned densities and use mixes. Developments either exclusively residential or mixed-use in nature can contain elements of New Urbanism.  However, New Urbanism also seeks to create “atmosphere”, or a feeling of participation through more human-scale buildings, more pedestrian-friendly access and transportation, and multi-use buildings."   Several floorplans are available or build your own custom dream home!  Please contact me for more details at callSherry@comcast.net or 865-584-4000.

 SHORT SALE VS FORECLOSURE

A Short Sale gives you back some control over your life.  You stay in your house until the short sale closes.   With a Short Sale you are asking your lender to accept less than what you owe on your mortgage.  A Short Sale is much easier on your credit history and your life!  Contact me if you need help.

 

CHANGE TO FHA MONTHLY MORTGAGE INSURANCE PAYMENT COMING SEPT. 7TH

 If you or anyone you know is planning to go FHA on a home purchase there's another reason to move now!  After Sept. 7th the Monthly Mortgage Insurance is going up. For example, on a $200,000 loan, MMI is now $94 but after Sept. 7th it'll be $152. This amount is on top of the principal, interest and escrow payment. To save on this increase, you must have a FHA case # prior to Sept 7th. Please pass this info on to anyone you know who is planning on financing FHA. Now is definately the time to make a move and there is time to avoid this increase on your home loan. As always, I'm here to help! If I can help you or anyone you know, please contact me.
