http://www.TheSobranGroup.com | Winding Country roads and quiet tree-lined lanes mark the southernmost tip of coastal Duxbury, and in 1926 the original estate known as BayMarO was set high on Elm Hill with commanding views of bay, salt marsh, and ocean beyond.

The distant white sands of barrier beaches include Saquish and Long Beach, and frame a centerpiece of historic Bug Light House. The exclusive 3-plus acre property, completely refurbished and recently upgraded on an impressive scale in 2006, is prominent and comfortably private, surrounded by park-like grounds and sprawling lawns. The one tenth of a mile drive winds dramatically past Island Creek, up to the circular courtyard with an abundance of lush landscape and mature trees.
BayMarO is well situated amidst an enclave of other estate setting homes on large land plots. Within close proximity to commuter routes serving downtown Boston, convenience and accessibility make this a much sought after location.
An unmistakable touch of metropolitan flair, the approximate 7,000 square feet of interior living space reflects notable luxurious charm and exquisite style. Particular care was taken to preserve period details, while blending state-of-the-art technical fittings and modern comforts in this 12 room 5 bedroom, 5 and one half bath home.
The classic, formal main entrance immediately beckons the harmonious flow of the bright and inspirational open floor plan. On the first level, the elegant original formal living room welcomes visitors with a marble hearth fire place, ocean views and French doors to a blue stone summer screen porch.
The large gourmet chefs kitchen is custom designed with cherry cabinets, solid cherry butcher block island, and granite island with wet bar. Exceptional top of the line appliances include 5 burner gas stove top, built-in coffee and espresso maker, 2 drawer beverage refrigerator, 2 drawer wine refrigerator, double convection oven, and warming drawer, all stainless, made by names such as Thermador, Bosch, Gaggenau and Uline. All are centrally located for ease of functionality to suit todays busy lifestyle. French doors lead to the 39-by-37 foot blue stone terrace with its architectural stone wall.
Natural transitions mark each passage between rooms, from the sun-filled dining area with a double sided fireplace and granite hearth, to the large coffered ceiling family room complete with its 60 inch built-in Pioneer Elite Plasma TV with home theatre speakers.
The $300,000 Smart Home System is wired for audio, video, computer network and lighting systems. Return home to coordinated lighting as it illuminates select interior and exterior areas. For entertaining, a touch of a finger sets ambient mood and volume linking complete room to room surround sound with your extended musical library.
Thoughtfully designed and brilliantly developed, the stone floor foyer is a showpiece on its own, linking mud room, garage, office, laundry, and powder room.
The gallery sized office with French doors to a private deck, offers quiet privacy with a generous amount of storage options and conferences. An exceptional residence including a total of five bedrooms, four en-suite, it provides ample space for either a large family or guests.
From the master suites spectacular views, lofty balcony, towering ceilings and gas-lit fireplace, to its wardrobe room with individual walk-in closets and spa-like bath with his and her built ins, sinks and leather bound medicine cabinets, it forms yet another stunning highlight.
The Library hall lined with built-in bookcases and windows seats leads to the billiard room and workout studio.
The Action compound floor and a vaulted ceiling add touches of practical comfort to this superb fitness room.
Just steps away is a pleasurable retreat in the fully wired billiard-room complete with cherry bar and 50 inch built-in Sony Plazma TV.
The new amenities offer 7 zones of radiant Heat, 5 zones of central air conditioning, and the entire property is protected by multiple premise detection methods and property boundary detection.
With two wells, the irrigation system easily allows for 1.75 acres of water coverage.  Generator back-up for storm coverage and electrical power outages makes for peace of mind.
Peaceful ocean breezes from across the bay evoke images of lazy afternoons and delightful evening gatherings on the expansive stone-walled terrace. Lower abutting acreage is conservation protected and provides walking trails, a skating pond and kayak dock with access to bay.
This sensational property is truly one of Duxburys unique estates, both historic and well appointed to suit the astute buyer. While every detail has been poured over with custom luxury and sophisticated living in mind, an air of quaint simplicity abounds, leaving BayMarO a most unique and treasured home.

First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit Assistance and Federal Government Home Loan Program with Low Down Payment on FHA Mortgages. Buy Bank Foreclosed Homes at a Discount. Go To http://RealEstateMarketingThisWeek.com

Part 2 (Excerpt)

The median income family can afford twice the median priced home; prices drop over 50%

And now I mentioned Dan Havey is back in the studio with us, Dan has done a lot of great things in the mortgage industry. He left us about a year and a half ago, is that right Dan?

Yes, I left the mortgage industry in October of 2007. Tell us a little bit more about yourself.

As you know I came originally from Wisconsin, where I got a degree in Business Finance and I came out here in 1989 and started working with my brother selling real estate owned-REO, bank owned properties for Fannie Mae, Countrywide, and the Resolution Trust Corporation-RTC which was the government entity that was put in charge of disposing of all the real estate owned by the 1800 S&Ls that had failed. I did that until about 1995 when I moved into the mortgage industry and there for 12 years I worked predominately with bankruptcy attorneys helping their clients get out of bankruptcy and foreclosure. I left the mortgage industry in October of 2007. Now I am working predominately in the arena of marketing for real estate and mortgage companies, helping out companies, just like Im here helping out Michael today, to get people to realize that right now actually is a really good time to buy.

There are a couple of points I want to make and it was something that Michael had said earlier. The first one was that 4% interest rate. Originally Obama said a couple of weeks ago, when he rolled out the mortgage plan, that they were going to take the $200 billion and use it to buy mortgage backed securities, well the article I was reading today said it appears that plan may have changed. Instead of buying the mortgage backs they were actually buying the stock of Fannie and Freddie to help support the company and keep these companies going under. I dont quite understand why being how they own them now.

Well youve got to hand it to the government they have really done a heck of a job helping Fannie Mae out, for instance today the stock is up to $0.41. Wow, doing so well, I remember when it was $150 or so, where it was at the top of the market.

Today, right now is definitely the best time even if rates dont get down to the 4% point. The beauty of it and were going to talk more about this in a later segment, is that we have seen a 51% decline in home values from the peak of the market. So you dont have to have the absolute greatest interest rate in order to be able to buy a house today. The median home price right now is $130,000 in Maricopa County, it was $264,000 just two years ago.

So the median home price is $130,000? We are going to talk a little bit about what a person has to make to actually qualify for that. Well it is definitely well within the means of a median income family. Right now a median income family makes about $64,000 in the state of Arizona according to the US Census Bureau and HUD. I ran some numbers today, I think at 6% interest and at that rate they can buy a $280,000 house. So you can buy twice the median home price if you are making just what the median income family would be in the state of Arizona. So the median household income buys double the median priced house in Maricopa County. That is correct, at 6% interest.

And the reality of it is interest rates are not even that high right now. So for people to be waiting for that perfect interest rate of 4% it doesnt really matter if it gets here or not because right now is such an incredibly fabulous time to be buying a house. There are so many foreclosures out there on the market right now, there are so many short sales out there on the market right now, and the point you made earlier is very important, that people have to get in and get prequalified, know exactly what they can buy. Now in many cases you are going to need a down payment, so get with your mortgage broker, get with Velocity Financial and start working on that program of getting those funds together for the down payment as well.

Dan Havey we talked in the past about whats available for financing these days, interesting to give little pat on the back for Velocity Financial is one of less than 15% of all of the lenders in the state of Arizona that are qualified to do FHA financed homes. Now FHA financing, people used to think it was only for first time home buyers, thats no longer the case. The FHA loan which only requires 3.5% down payment it doesnt matter if you have owned a home before and in many cases you can own another home now so long as your new purchase is going to be your primary residence you can utilize FHA financing and put only 3.5% down.

So… how did the Hanson’s start their lives? ._.
As you probably know, this is all one take.
(Okay, I lied. This is the first time EVER that we had to do more than one take on one scene)
Anywho.
For those who don’t understand the purpose… that’s okay. We don’t either…
And…
I never finished the video…

It’s about half of what we wanted to get through.
But I guess you’ll have to wait another episode before you can find out more about Timmy (which was the entire point of us making the movie in the first place… and look where that got us…)

Good Night.
