In Pursuit of the Perfect Property

Here at Cooper Realty we are going to do our own version of HGTV’s “House Hunters” called In Pursuit of the Perfect Property – our theme for this week is single family homes with at least 4 bedrooms. So, without further ado, here are your property choices for this week…

I am a huge fan of the show House Hunters on HGTV.  I love seeing what homes in other areas of the country look like and how much home money will buy in different places.  If you haven’t seen the show, basically a person looking for a new home is shown 3 different homes that fulfill their needs.  I’m sure in reality the buyer sees more than three homes and the show just shows three, but that’s beside the point.  In the end the buyer chooses one home to put an offer on and the show gives a narration of the process from offering to making settlement to settling in!  It’s a great show!

Here at Cooper Realty we are going to do our own version called In Pursuit of the Perfect Property – our theme for this week is single family homes with at least 4 bedrooms.  So, without further ado, here are your property choices for this week –

NEIGHBORHOOD STABILIZATION PROGRAM FUNDS AVAILABLE

Now is your chance to take advantage of the funds made available for home purchases through the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.

What is Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP)?
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) new Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) provides assistance to state and local governments to acquire and redevelop foreclosed properties that might otherwise become sources of abandonment and blight within their communities. The NSP provides grants to every state and certain local communities to purchase foreclosed or abandoned homes and to rehabilitate, resell, or redevelop these homes in order to stabilize neighborhoods and stem the decline of house values of neighboring homes. For the State of Delaware NSP, HUD provided $19.6 million to Delaware State Housing Authority (DSHA). DSHA, in turn, has allocated funds from the $19.6 million to local jurisdictions through a competitive process based on need and on each applicant’s proposed impact statewide.

There are currently 37 properties in Sussex County that qualify for this program.  The properties range from $15,000 to $749,000 in price.  There are properties in The Peninsula, Lewes Beach, Rehoboth Beach, The Villages at Five Points and other areas.
