The USDA backs a variety of loans to help low- or moderate-income people buy, repair or renovate a home in a rural area. For eligible buyers, they feature great benefits such as 100% financing with no down payment and below-market mortgage rates. In Northern Colorado, USDA loan eligible areas include Ault, Berthoud, Eaton, Mead, Severance, Wellington and Windsor. I can have a lender call you to tell you more about the program. Click here for the USDA eligibility website. The map below has eligible areas outside of the orange shaded areas.

In the last couple of years, we have seen sales of Patio Homes outpace construction.  This has led to a temporary shortage and waiting lists.  Patio Homes have become popular for empty nesters, retirees, and people who love to travel.  Patio Homes provide the freedom to “lock and leave” your home for weeks at a time without worry because the lawn maintenance, trash removal, and snow removal are usually covered in the home owner association or HOA payments.

If your thinking of downsizing because all the children are now off to college, or if you are just tired of the constant upkeep, a Patio Home may be the perfect solution.  Many Patio Homes offer main floor living with main floor master bedrooms and easy access to your garage and outdoor living areas.

If you are not sure where to start, you can give me a call or sign up on my website and start your searches.  You will receive alerts in your morning email as soon as a Patio Home comes on the market.  I can also help you with waiting lists and Patio Homes that are not yet on the market. 

Not only do Patio Homes offer the convenience of maintenance free living, there are also many community features.  Many Patio Home communities offer community pools, clubhouses, golf courses, walking and biking trails, and community activities including barbecues, concerts, and social gatherings.

If you also need to sell a home, I can help you with several options including contingent buyer’s contracts, short term bridge loans, refinancing, etc.  so you may not have to move twice.

Let’s face it, the only thing that is constant is change. Each life circumstance has a situation that may require you to change your residence, and that’s when it’s time to “right size” your home.  Life happens: we get married, have children, have blended families, kids move out, parents move in.  Maybe you are not interested in living in a construction zone for months as you prepare for your new twins or Mom and Dad moving in with you.  Maybe you don't want to have all those empty bedrooms you don't use anymore because you suddenly find yourself empty nesters.  Maybe you have retired, want to travel the world, and you need a maintenance free patio home you can leave for weeks at a time without worry (a very popular trend by the way).

If you find yourself needing to “right size”, call me!  There are many solutions to help you get the right size property for your needs, including contingent buyer’s contracts, short term bridge loans, refinancing, etc.  Nobody wants to move twice, and in many instances you may not have to.
