Whats going on up there on that beautiful hill?
Wynstone, LLC and Blackstone Homes are celebrating this week after October 7th recommendation of the Land Use and Transportation Committee of the City of Federal Way to approve the Final Plat of Wynstone. The Federal Way City Council then moved to approve the resolution for the Final Plat of 45 lots in Wynstone. The actual recording should take place this week thus ending a lengthy, four+ years (although typical) city and county entitlement process. Mike Kerschner, owner of Blackstone Homes says he is already underway having submitted an application for a model home permit some time ago. Mike expects that permit in the next several weeks and anticipates starting construction on our model home sometime in November. If you are interested in seeing all of the official documentation of Wynstone’s Final Plat approval type in the following address in your computer’s browser:

Got Confidence?
It seems as though the news about the financial markets, reach
thru our televisions, computers, ipods, and jump out at us! With
each news report, people understandably want to know; “Is my money safe, is my job secure, will we be okay?”
The answer: Take a deep breath….and ask yourself, “Do I have my health, Is there Love in my Life and Will tomorrow come?”
Confidence… is like a steady floor, or foundation to build upon!
Any buyer in the current market will need a “personal confidence”
For buyers who have taken the time to prepare for home ownership, have examined their budget, and have some savings, they will find that our local real estate market has some true bargains!
Fixed rates are around 6%, and there is far less competition for the home of their dreams!
If you have questions, about your ability to buy in this market, please feel free to contact Larry Cragun 206-618-3724

Yeah!!! The light at the end of the tunnel!!!!
In my many years in mortgage banking, I’ve always’ believed most in the quote:
“People don’t care how much you know…until they know how much you care!”
Purchasing a Home, is still, especially in the Seattle/greater market, the single most important step, in an overall plan towards sound investment & retirement planning!
This is so important now, in our business! The Wynstone buyer will want, and demand value! A Wall St. Bill, will get done! Congress’s current proposal includes the following consumer benefits:
1. Expands FDIC insurance to $250,000. per account in Banks.
2. On Homes in foreclosure, allows judicial oversight/input in structuring payments to allow homeowner to
stay in the property, this should reduce foreclosures and prevent more distressed properties from entering
the housing pool!
3. Expands FHA max loan to $600,000. in high cost areas, this includes King County!
4. The recently approved Housing Bill, which goes into affect today, allows for $7500 1st time buyer
credit/until April 2009.
5. More funding to Housing Counseling Agencies, which offer free pre & post purchase budget counseling
and more emphasis on lower fixed rate programs.
