Beautiful home in Wilmont subdivision, Lexington SC

There is a open house in Wilmont today and I love to check out this neighborhood. Every home is customized built in here. They are all brick homes. It is not a big subdivision with around 50 homes. Lots of families have great landscaping.

Check out the pictures I took. I love the details in the kitchen and the gleaming hardwood floors in the whole first floor. The backyard is quiet and peaceful. There is nice forest on the back.

Great bank foreclosures with 6.5 acres of land

The bank listed this foreclosure home around 6 months ago for 90,000. Then they slowly dropped the price. I was wondering what happened to the house.

I finally got a chance to check the property today and I found the HVAC was stolen, some of the wires were cut, but it has a great basement and spacious 3 bed rooms . It does need some works. But for a 1900 sf with 6.5 acres of land, it is only $50,000. how can you get wrong?

Buy a new home or older home

Most of buyer clients always ask me, will you buy a new home or older home. My answer is always : it depends.

1 older homes have lots of personality. It has beautiful matured trees and landscaping. New homes normally do not have much trees.

2. Older homes might need more money to keep up. Water heater lasts about7-10 years. And it cost around 800-2000 to replace it.
Air conditioning might be close to the end of the useful life. And it is a lot of money to replace it. The other factor is the window. Some old windows are not energy efficient. You can see major price difference in utilities bill.

3. Some of the older homes have great craftsmanship in woodwork. It is great art to enjoy it. I saw a older home has great tile work in the bathrooms. Even after 30 years, it is still in great shape.

The key is to think of what do you like most before you move forward.
