Johnston County Parade of Homes Realtor Tour 2009 Part 1

Johnston County 2009 Parade Of Homes Realtor Tour, aka, Parade Of WOW!

Yep it's that time again, Fall is fast approaching and builders are eager to showcase the hard work they've been doing all summer. The Parade of Homes in Johnston County North Carolina is amazing because you get to see beautiful homes in great subdivisions, all while being driven around in a van full of Realtors!
I am always struck by how much of Johnston County is still beautiful farmland filled with soybeans,sweet potatoes, tobacco, lots of horse farms and old barns. Yet there amongst all that, is new schools, highways, bypasses, shopping centers, and subdivisions. Of course this year was a tad smaller than previous years, I enjoyed it more, you had more time to spend at each house and discuss with the Realtors the pros and cons of the homes.

We started at 209 Gardner Lake Drive in Willow Spring, a beautiful three bedroom, two and a half bath, 2900 sq ft home in Gardner Lake subdivision. Beautiful Hardwood floors downstairs and an amazing bonus room upstairs very unique! It is listed at $309,950.

From there we moved on to Millstone Ridge where we saw an all brick ranch with four beds two baths and 1675 sq ft.This house is priced at $191,354

We moved on to 61 Carriage Creek Drive Unit in Smithfield a three bed, two bath 2031 sq ft home. A Darryl D. Evans Inc. home comes with Stainless Steel Appliances The sweet thing with this house is the 1090 sq ft of unfinished space with the sheet rock in place ready to be installed at your leisure.

If you would like to get any information about any of the homes on the tour give me a call.

Johnston County Homes, North Carolina, qualify for 100% financing through the USDA

Johnston County Homes, North Carolina, qualify for 100% financing through the USDA (edit/delete)
Homes in Johnston County, North Carolina qualify for 100% financing through the USDA.
The entire county qualifies for the loan program through the USDA which allows home buyers to do 100% financing. Certain credit restrictions apply and there is an income limit depending on how many people will live in the home.
So if you think you would qualify, then now is the time to act as this loan program combined with the $8000 tax credit and historically low interest rates make this one of the best times to buy a home.
There are numerous subdivisions in Johnston County in every price range. Some of the towns like Clayton and Smithfield, the 40/42 community, offer subdivisions ranging from starter homes up to estate homes.
The window for the $8000 tax credit is rapidly closing as the loan must close by Nov 30 2009, that means that you must find the house you want, get all the inspections done, and get the loan approved and paid by the 30Th. There are new rules governing loans that might delay the process so not a good idea to leave this to the last minute
If you would like to speak with a mortgage professional about this or any other loan programs, give me a call or send an e-mail and I will be happy to provide you with that information.
The Johnston County Parade of Homes is currently under way so there are some great homes to check out, see the post I am doing on the Parade or if you need more info about homes let me know.
