House Hunt: Oct. 20 Edition

Deals too good to pass up. Check out our featured homes in the $200,000 range.

With the upcoming holidays and all the additional expenses incurred as the weather gets colder, it is good to stick within your budget, especially when searching for a new home.

Owning a home is a very long commitment, and you want to be sure you make payments as agreed for the next 15-30 years.  But remember, just because you’re shopping on a budget doesn’t mean you won’t find the home just right for you in every aspect.

This week, we’re taking a look at some affordable homes in the $200,000 range, all of which were found through AOL Real Estate online.

Since one of the most frustrating parts of looking for a new home, is chasing one that turns out to be unavailable, Patch’s House Hunt only lists the latest active listing. As some real estate terms are often confusing or misleading, check out our terms of the week to help those terms often used in ads or when speaking with your real estate agent or banker.

FSBO: This acronym simply means the property is For Sale By the Owner. This is a good term to know, as many homes currently on the market are for sale by the bank.

Application: When your agent or banker refers to your application, they are referring to the form used to apply for a mortgage, which contains information about your income, assets, debts and savings.

GFE: Refers to Good Faith Estimate. This itemized list is provided by the lender and is required under the Real Estate Settlement and Procedures Act (RESPA). The GFE must be provided within three business days of applying for the loan.
