Village of Northpoint CondosThe Village of Northpoint condominium community offers residents a tucked away feel in the heart of Orcutt. Located just off Foster Road and within walking distance of both Righetti and St. Joseph’s High Schools, this development boasts a pool, clubhouse and tennis courts. Mature trees line the blacktopped streets dotted by clusters of townhomes with blue tinted tile roofs. There are 3 and 4 bedroom plans, each with the bedrooms upstairs and the main living space and half bath downstairs. Units have a patio, and a balcony off the master suite. Monthly association dues range from about $220 – $250 per month.

In July 2006, Mint Properties opened an office in the Mission Creek Plaza on Santa Maria Way. Tni’s stated aim is to offer the highest quality representation and professional service to her clients. Independence affords her the ability to avoid a volume driven approach; the result is prompt, reliable, individualized service coupled with straightforward advice. Indeed, she brings the same level of professionalism to real estate as she did to the law.
So many of the first time home buyers in the Santa Maria market today are concerned about whether they will qualify for the $8000 tax credit. Short sale purchases can qualify for the credit , so long as the buyer qualifies for the credit in general. (You should check withb your tax professional on this issue). However, because the timelines on short sales are somewhat undetermined, they can fail to close by the deadline for the tax credit. Right now, it is my understanding that in order to qualify a buyer must have a confirmed contract by April 30th. In the case of a short sale purchase, this means the buyer must have a signed contract and bank approval of the short sale in hand in order to qualify for the tax credit. And, the transaction must close by June 30th.
