Mini-Home Park In Antigonish Offers Special Opportunity For Right Family

Antigonish, Nova Scotia -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/09/2013 -- According to statistics released recently, manufactured and modular home sales make up approximately 7-8% of the total housing market. The Buildings Systems Council further reports that during the last 15 years, these type homes have increased in sales by almost 50%, faster than any other segment of the housing industry. This trend, according to Trevor McKay is certainly holding true in Antigonish, Nova Scotia.

Says McKay, "Many people have been dreaming about jumping off the rent-payment rat race, but thought their circumstances condemned them to paying someone else's mortgage forever. They're learning that doesn't have to be the case. Everyone knows the economy has been rough for everyone, but these days, even if you've got a troubled credit history there are ways to get a mortgage, yes, even if you've had to file a bankruptcy or don't have the down payment in the bank. Our park is able to help people in situations like that. But, to be honest, we're choosy."

McKay goes on to explain what he means, saying, "What people love about our Antigonish homes is you have to meet the parks screening criteria and be approved to move in. We're only interested in quiet, mature, responsible residents who respect and get along with their neighbors and enjoy living in a clean, quiet well managed community. You also have to have a fairly clean balance sheet. We can do a lot to help you realize the joy of new home ownership. But, if your credit card company has you on speed dial, your utilities are in your uncle's name, and you're hiding from every business owner in town, there's not much we can do to help you out. However, if you're up to date with your bills and trying to start over, mini homes for sale Antigonish may be the way you can obtain home ownership."

Mobile homes of today are not the manufactured homes of old, says McKay. "Our brand new homes come fully set up on a spacious lot complete with a beautiful front deck for those summer BBQ's, a ductless heat pump for ice cold air conditioning in the summer and ultra efficient heat in the winter. They also feature a gourmet chef's kitchen complete with sink tip-out trays, lighting over the sink, pantry cabinets, lazy susans, crown mouldings and even an ice-maker supply line for the fridge."

Many Buyers Finding They Pay Less In Mortgage Payments Than They Did In Rent

Nova Scotia, Canada -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/19/2013 -- According to TD Canada Trust, depending on the mortgage, 5-20% of the purchase price is required for a down payment on a home, with today's new mortgage rules. However, Trevor McKay of North Grant Park, a mini home park Antigonish establishment says they are currently able to help people get approved for mortgages easier than buyers ever thought possible. Says Mckay, "Helping good people navigate the murky waters of mortgage approval is our specialty. We consider it so important that we've put together a "New Home Buyer's Guide" that includes everything they need to know to get their mortgage approved faster and more easily than they thought possible."

In fact, with combined family incomes as low as $30,000 per year, McKay says they can put buyers into a home. Says McKay, "If your total household income before deductions is $30,000 per year or more, you could easily qualify. If two of you are working (you and your spouse or significant other), that means you only need to be making $15,000 per year each to be able to afford one of our brand new homes. And remember, that's before taxes and other deductions are taken out. That equals about $650 per week before deductions for one person working and $325 per week if two of you work."

The mini-home park consists of new and pre-owned two and three bedroom, one bath homes priced lower than what most people pay in rent, says McKay. "We've got 3 bedroom, 1 1/2 bath brand new homes, complete with heat pumps and air conditioning for less than $700.00 per month, including lot rent, maybe a lot less, depending on your down payment and the home and options you pick out. The monthly payment is dependent upon a variety of factors including down payment, final price of the home, current interest rate, policies and procedures of the lender, etc, but we have had a lot of buyers say they used to pay more than that in rent."

McKay explains North Grant Park provides homes for those who thought they couldn't afford to buy a house in today's economy. "Real Estate prices can get expensive, but what we've got here is a spot in the heart of Antigonish, an affordable, quiet, tree-lined mini-home community, only two minutes from downtown, yet perfectly situated in a peaceful country setting. Without highway noise or congestion, it's the perfect place to call home. It's perfectly suited for old and young alike, as long as you're quiet and respectful. Many of the homes yards back right onto the forest, so if you're a nature lover, or just like quiet surroundings without the hustle and bustle of town life, this could be your dream location."
