A Rare Find – HUD Homes in the North Western Suburbs

Written by Susanne Novak on September 13, 2009 – 12:28 pm -

It’s not easy to find Columbus HUD Homes in the North Western suburbs. Just take a look at our HUD Homes maps and you will see an empty space in the left upper half of the screen.

This week some markers started to appear on the vacant areas. I selected 3 Columbus houses in Hilliard, Galloway and Worthington you may want to look at. All of them are nice residences and good values, although the Hilliard house, close to Heritage golf course, is a little more expensive than the other two.

If you plan to buy a home in 2009 you have to make a decision in September. Why? Because the $8,000 first time buyers tax credit will expire at the end of November. I predict that lenders will be extremely busy in November, and you may miss your closing deadline of November 30. There are always delays when it comes to getting a loan approved.

Also keep in mind that it will take a few weeks to get your home inspected. Lenders are very picky even with minor repairs. So, if your HUD home is listed as Insured with Repair Escrow, the bank may require repair quotes from different contractors, and maybe even a structural inspection, before they agree to finance your purchase. Make an offer in September and you will be safe!

Here are the 3 north west Columbus HUD Homes:

2041 Queensbridge Dr, Worthington, OH
3BR/1.5BA 1,343 sqft Asking $115,000

3280 Andrew James Dr, Hilliard, OH
3BR/3.5BA 1,825 sqft Asking $179,000
