You, Home Ownership, and the Economy

Wednesday, December 21st, 2011

Good jobs enable people to achieve the American dream of home ownership. And every time a house is built, bought, or sold, jobs are created—lots of them—right here at home.

Consider these supporting facts supported by the most recent census:

Home sales in this country generate more than 2.5 million private-sector jobs in an average year. For every two homes sold, a job is created.

Each home sale touches dozens of different professions, from real estate agents to home inspectors, to the county clerks who file your paperwork.

Every home purchased pumps up to $60,000 into the economy over time for furniture, home improvements, and related items.

Housing accounts for more than 15% of the Gross Domestic Product, making it a key driver in our national economy.

Housing has led this country out of six of the last eight recessions.

America needs jobs. Housing creates jobs. That’s one of the many reasons home ownership matters to people, to communities, to America.

Jobs and home ownership, a mutual supporting relationship in which you can’t have one without the other. So, when you are ready to take the next step and buy your dream home, call Gisele, and be encouraged by the fact that you are supporting our economy!

Beyond Housing – Funds Still Available for St. Louis County Housing

Tuesday, November 15th, 2011

Are you looking for a little extra help with funding when it comes to financing for your first home purchase? If you are looking for a home in St. Louis County, the City of O’Fallon, or the city of City of St. Charles, Beyond Housing is here to help you.  

Created in 1975, Beyond Housing provides and offers support to low-income families in meeting their life-long goals, including home ownership. They assist current and prospective homeowners throughout the St. Louis region in their efforts to acquire and maintain their homes. Their educational workshops, one-on-one personalized services, and other services are designed to help families and individuals build and maintain wealth through savings and equity in their homes.

Check out a unique homeownership program, Catch the Dream – Keep the Dream, which provides education and one-on-one counseling to prepare participants to make informed choices throughout the home buying process. Catch the Dream includes: 8 hours of valuable home buyer education (in classroom or on-line), a private session with a homeownership counselor to outline financial goals, review the credit report, assist with credit repair (where applicable), assess available programs and provide referrals to Beyond Housing partners, including professional lenders, realtors, home inspectors and property insurers. I have personally attended this value packed program as a real estate agent and as a homebuyer, and I found it to be one of its kind.

Beyond Housing can also provide down payment and closing cost assistance to eligible families who purchase qualifying homes in approved jurisdictions. For St. Louis County, the down payment assistance is $3,000. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to gain valuable information about the home-buyer process and get assisstance to purchase your first home!

Call or text me, the GetMoving team, to get started on your home buying process today!
