3 Bedroom 2 Bath Home – Masonwood, Snellville, GA

This lovely home is in great condition and ready to move in. Good location and close to everything.

We're sorry, but we couldn't find MLS # 4044692 in our database. This property may be a new listing or possibly taken off the market. Please check back again.

Wishing you the Best for the New Year!

As we count down the hours before the next decade, and the new year, take time to reflect on the past year, both good and bad, and make a promise to live each day to the fullest, show your feelings to those you love, because you might not get the chance again, save for a “rainy day”, take your health seriously because you only have one chance in this world, and be happy, whatever it takes.

April 30, 2010 is the deadline for the $8000 tax credit for first time buyers and $6500 for repeat buyers. This is a great opportunity with the low prices and low interest rates. Share this information with other so they will be able to have a new home in the new year.

Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, mortgage finance companies, have suspended foreclosures and evictions for about two weeks, which will give a small break to borrowers during this holiday season. It’s a nice thing to do, but they could do so much more by working harder to help people out of their mortgage situations.

The suspension will run through January 3, 2010. “No family should have to face the prospect of being evicted during the holiday season,” says Michael Williams, who is Fannie Mae’s chief executive. They do not have an estimate of how many people this will affect.

Thursday, Citigroup Inc. gave a 30 day suspension to about 4,000 of their borrowers. Many people are in this situation this year and need help.

9 Ways to Avoid Foreclosure

In today’s economy, many people are finding it hard to make their mortgage payments on their Atlanta home.

Here are 9 ways that might help you and what each means.

1. Reinstatement- Bring the loan current  with all past due payments made.

2. Forebearance-Temporary repayment plan

3. Refinance-New loan that will reduce your monthly payments

4. Loan Modification-Modify the original terms of the loan

5. Sell the property-You would use your equity to pay off the balance of the loan.

6.Rent the property-Must keep the loan current in order to do this.

7. Short Sale-Negotiate with the bank to accept a sale under the current amount you owe on the loan

8. Deed in lieu of foreclosure-”friendly foreclosure” you give the home back to the bank

9. Bankruptcy-Will stall foreclosure but no prevent it.

13 Reasons to List During the Holidays in November and December

13. Corporate transfers, who need to buy a home now, can’t wait until spring.
