Home for sale Rainbow Springs Woodlands

This is a home for sale in the Rainbow Springs Woodlands area of Dunnellon. It is a new listing for me. I really like the Rainbow Springs Woodlands because it is such a nice established neighborhood of homes on big 1 acre plus lots. This is a very quiet peaceful community but it’s just a few miles north of Dunnellon where you’ll find grocery stores, various shops and restaurants.

This home was built in 1982 and has a brand new roof as of December 2009. There is 1,590 sq ft of living area but the floor plan is really good and makes the house feel larger. It’s a typical 3 bedroom 2 bath Florida split plan with the master on one side of the house and the other 2 bedrooms on the opposite side. There is a large open living room with high ceilings and a fireplace. The lot measures 1.24 acres and has a lot of trees.

This link is to the featured homes page on my web site where you’ll find statistics about this house and 11 images. The list price is $124,900.00.

No it’s not a crazy come on or infomercial. Fannie Mae the huge federal agency is offering incentives to buy Fannie Mae owned foreclosures.

Here is how it goes.

You must buy and close on a Fannie Mae foreclosure between Jan 28 and April 30, 2010.

Fannie Mae is offering 3.5% of the sold price that can be used for closing costs or to buy Whirlpool appliances through Fannie Mae or the buyer can do a combination of closing costs and appliances. Buyers must be owner occupants.

According to the Fannie Mae web site. Lenders may impose their own limitations on the use of the 3.5% incentive, so buyers should consult their lenders for guidance.

Many foreclosures in the Ocala area are either homes that never had all the appliances or the homes were burglarized and the appliances were stolen.

I just helped a couple get a really great deal on a brand new house from a developer in Dunnellon Florida. Now some people might think that spending good money on a home inspection for a new house that comes with a builders warranty is a waste of money. Well while testing the dishwasher it spilled water all over the kitchen floor and it took the poor home inspector about a half hour to soak all the water up with some old towels he carried with him. The buyers were paying cash and there wasn’t a bank that required a survey but they elected to do one any way even though this was a new house. There are wild stories about building houses on the wrong lot. The survey revealed a minor error on the title that was corrected prior to closing. Not a big deal but something that would have surfaced on resale.
A waste of money or money well spent? You be the judge.
