Special Government Home Renovation Loan Program using FHA 203k Renovation Loans for Allen Texas.Many people are not aware of a special government loan program that is part of the Federal Housing Administration or FHA(a department within HUD). A buyer or existing home owner can do meaningful amounts of remodeling or updates to their existing home without having a higher cost second lien thanks to this special FHA loan program.However, this loan program doesn't allow for "luxury items" in your home such as a swimming pool, hot tub, or other accessories. Although, you can repaint, replace flooring and appliances, add a room to an existing structure (which can add to value tremendously as you increase the square feet of your home) as well as remodel cabinetry in kitchens and bathrooms.This ...

Allen is a city in Collin County, Texas, a northern suburb of Dallas. Just like many other cities around the Dallas Metroplex, has been experiencing a tremendous growth.  Median home price experienced some drop from $306k January 2017 to $281k in January 2018.  However, average days on the market still shows a very strong seller’s market.  The longest days on the market is three months for homes $751k and up.  There is no home under $150k, and most sold homes in January 2018 are in the price range between $201k - $300k. If you are looking to sell or purchase real estate in Allen and the surrounding area, I'm honored to have the opportunity to assist you.
