Residents enjoy fully maintained landscaping, snow removal, trash removal, stucco and stone exteriors, and floor plan sizes and designs to fit every lifestyle. Home sites in this community are now selling and are priced in the mid to high $400’s. Vantage’s stunning model home, the Valencia, is now available to view boasting over 3,100 square feet, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a study or optional fourth bedroom, and a threecar garage. The inside is adorned with extended hardwood floors, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, quartz counters in the master bathroom, an easy entry spa shower, farm doors throughout and much more. “It’s all about easy, no-hassle designs that allow people to be themselves and enjoy life,” says Johnston. Homeowners are presented with unlimited opportunities to take advantage of the exciting features of Cordera. Whether it’s the 41 acres
of open space, the 4.5 miles of interconnecting trails, the themed play parks all within walking distance, the five-plus acre grand lawn park, or the new community center with a heated outdoor swimming pool, kid’s splash zone and fitness centers, there is no shortage of fun and relaxation. Estancia at Cordera is also located a short drive from the Promenade Shops, Chapel Hills Mall, IMAX movie theater, Whole Foods and so much more.

still being in the city,” says Johnston. The model home is currently under construction and will become available early summer; it will also be in the parade of homes. Vantage Homes has been an integral builder in the region since 1983, and specializes in personalized, energy-

US average 30-year mortgage rate edges up to 4.16 percent THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
Long-term U.S. mortgage rates rose slightly this week, continuing a holding pattern that has prevailed this month. Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the rate on 30-year, fixed-rate loans edged up to 4.16 percent from 4.15 percent last week. The benchmark rate stood at 3.62 percent a year ago and averaged 3.65 percent through 2016, the lowest level in records dating to 1971. The rate on 15-year mortgages rose to 3.37 percent from 3.35 percent last week. Mortgage rates surged in the weeks following the election in November. Investors bid rates higher because they expect Trump’s plans to cut taxes and increase spending on roads, bridges and airports will drive up economic growth and inflation.
But mortgage rates reversed course in the first week of the year, falling after nine straight weeks of increases. They have moved little in the past four weeks. The economy has been showing solid gains but there is uncertainty around the new Trump administration and its economic policies. Federal Reserve policymakers early this month decided to leave a key interest rate unchanged. But they discussed the need to raise the rate again “fairly soon,” especially if the economy remains strong. With the economy healthy, the recent trend toward higher mortgage rates hasn’t dampened home buying, new data shows. Americans bought existing homes in January at the fastest pace since 2007. That has set off bidding wars that have pushed up prices as
the supply of available homes has dwindled to record lows. Home sales rose 3.3 percent in January from December to a seasonally-adjusted annual rate of 5.69 million, the National Association of Realtors reported Wednesday. To calculate average mortgage rates, Freddie Mac surveys lenders across the country. The average doesn’t include extra fees, known as points, which most borrowers must pay to get the lowest rates. One point equals 1 percent of the loan amount. The average fee for a 30-year mortgage was unchanged this week at 0.5 point. The fee on 15-year loans also remained at 0.5 point. Rates on adjustable five-year loans fell to 3.16 percent from 3.18 percent last week. The fee held at 0.4 point. ■

RE 7
ON THE HOUSE:
‘We Can Buy Your Home As Is,’ the letter says, but be careful
BY CAITLIN MCCABE TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICES
The letter arrived in Robin Roberts’ mailbox innocently enough late last year. The envelope bore her name and her address. Neatly folded inside was a piece of paper, what appeared to be a handwritten note. Basically, the letter said, someone had noticed her house. And in no uncertain terms, it asked: Would she consider selling it to them? “I’m not late on my mortgage, I’m up to date on my taxes, there’s no way we’re in financial distress,” said Roberts, 45. “Why would we entertain an unsolicited sales letter?” “I feel like this is just a scam,” she added. Forum after forum online is dedicated to letters such as these, with homeowners worried about what these solicitations in their mailboxes really mean. It’s a legitimate concern, with possibly thousands of homeowners receiving letters such as these each year. The messages often come unexpectedly — and with few details offered. Like Roberts, the recipients are often left with more questions than answers: Is the letter a scam? Does it mean something is wrong with their property? Or could it be a signal that investors are speculating their neighborhood might be improving? “Obviously, with the way the internet is today, and the way the real estate market is changing, buyers themselves can do a lot of searching
for homes themselves,” said Dylan Ostrow, a Realtor with the Rosenthal Group of Berkshire Hathaway Home Services Fox & Roach Realtors in downtown Philadelphia. Letters like these “can be legitimate,” Ostrow said, “but you have to exercise caution.” When Roberts received her letter — the latest of many in recent years — her gut reaction told her to throw it away. So in the trash it went. But not all homeowners are like her. For nearly 10 years, Joshua Pireda and Marat Tsirelson, both executives with the residential development group GM Home Inc., have been sending letters to homeowners such as Roberts throughout the Philadelphia area. In a simple four paragraphs, they explain that they would like to buy someone’s home “as-is,” their letter states, “meaning you don’t have to make any repairs.” Pireda and Tsirelson say they understand Roberts’ and other homeowners’ concerns. But they say they are legitimate. Licensed themselves and using licensed subcontractors, and with a staff of about 15, Pireda and Tsirelson say they are in the business of “rehabbing” homes — basically fixing and flipping them. They distribute nearly 2,000 letters to homeowners each month. Part of it is a marketing tactic, they say; the other part, a true solicitation to buy a house quickly.
“Our goal is to purchase homes that are rundown,” said Tsirelson, 30, GM Home’s president. “We rehab them top to bottom and sell them to the millennial market.” Pireda and Tsirelson said the letters are not the only ways they have found homes to repair. But it’s a strategy that has worked, they said: One to two sellers each month sell their homes directly to them because of the letters, a process that “allows them to pay a seller more” because no Realtor commissions are involved. “I guess from a first glance it might be scary
or shocking,” said Pireda, 30. “But when someone calls, I have a conversation with them. If they don’t want to sell their house, that’s fine.” Mostly, Pireda said, sellers should be cautious — and do their homework. It’s a sentiment Ostrow seconded. “When it comes to big purchases, big money, I’m always cautious of what I receive in the mail,” Ostrow said. Even if the solicitations are legitimate, he had one piece of advice: “Hire a Realtor to get a true touch on the market.”
