2928 Edward Avenue, Baton Rouge, La 70808 Zeeland Place subdivision
Wow!!
One of a kind home, featured on HGTV and winner of Baton Rouge Growth Coalition’s Good Growth Award for renovation and landscaping, located in the popular but rarely available area near Reymond Avenue. Built in the 1930′s, this home was lovingly restored by the owners, an interior designer and landscape architect. Every room has a “tree house’ effect, with lovely views of gardens and treetops. The entire original home was kept but converted into different space and over 3000 square feet were added, including a true basement. Most of the original materials were salvaged and re-used in various parts of the home. The beautifully landscaped backyard features a saltwater pool and outdoor kitchen cabana, and tree house. All of the materials are of the highest quality and design. This home “lives’ comfortably yet is a wonderful setting for entertaining. There are two stairways, one from the kitchen and the other is the main stairway. The basement is large enough to be a game room, media room or home office. It can be accessed from the main house, but also has a separate entry so that visitors to that area need not enter the main house. The second floor has 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, an office nook, and another large living area. There is an abundance of storage, two car attached garage, and owners are currently enlarging the master closet which can be customized for future owner. Home is covered by Old Republic Home Warranty, transferrable to buyer.

$8,000 tax credit can be used as down payment
100% financing is no longer available , inside the city limits, but this is close enough! While it is not immediately available, it is coming very soon. The eight thousand dollar tax credit can be applied to down payment. Keep in mind that when using this money, you have to stay in the home for at least three years.
From www.REALTOR.org
WASHINGTON, May 12, 2009
Shaun Donovan, secretary of the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, said that the
Federal Housing Administration is going to permit its lenders to allow homeowners to use the $8,000 tax credit as a downpayment.
Donovan’s remarks came in an address to several thousand Realtors® gathered this morning at The Real Estate Summit: Advancing the U.S. Economy, a special daylong session at the Realtors® Midyear Legislative Meetings & Trade Expo here.
Secretary Donovan said that important changes, which the National Association of Realtors® has been calling for, will help consumers purchase a home. “We all want to enable FHA consumers to access the home buyer tax credit funds when they close on their home loans so that the cash can be used as a downpayment,” Donovan said. According to Donovan, the FHA’s approved lenders will be permitted to “monetize” the tax credit through short-term bridge loans. This will allow eligible home buyers to access the funds immediately at the closing table.
Here is a summary of the Tax credit

First Time home buyers benefit from housing slump
Let me start off by saying…I am busy. Not that I don’t have my fair share of people that are buying their second or third homes. Its first timers that are a majority of my clientele. While the baton rouge real estate market is vastly different thatelsewhere, here is a very interesting article that was on msnbc.
One part that struck my interest : “First-time buyers like Kalaitzidis are dominating the real estate market right now. They snapped up 53 percent of all properties sold during March 2009, up from the usual 40 percent or less, according to data from the National Association of Realtors.”
Wow! now thats amazing
