The Becker Home

Archive for the ‘Uncategorized’ Category

We just listed our house in Emmaus, PA (Lehigh Valley) on the market. Great deal for anybody that wants to be in the East Penn school district and is looking to buy while the market is low, interest rates are low, and there are some government incentives. Similar homes in this neighborhood were selling for 325,000 just two years ago and the market is starting to move upwards again, so now is the time to buy! Our list price is $299,900 for aprox. 2300 sqft, 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathrooms, living room, family room, dining room, large kitchen and more. Design leads people to feel the home is larger than listed sqfootage. We have made many upgrades to the home in the last ten years, such as refinished kitchen cabinets, new tile floor in the kitchen with new counter tops (corian), Replacement windows, Remodeled master bathroom, new roof, exterior completely painted a year ago, remodeled family room, less than ten year old heating and cooling systems (dual zone). During the upgrades we also had natural gas installed for the heating system and the stove. The neighborhood is great, in fact we will miss living here as the neighbors are great. For those with kids in elementary school, the bus stops right in front of our house. Middle school bus stop is just down the street a short distance. Corner lot makes for a larger yard feeling, with privacy in the backyard made up with live bushes.

Want to see and read more, our realtor Jane Schiff has it listed in the MLS as listing #349447. Visit the listing to see pictures and get all the details. Then schedule an appointment to see the home. Don’t wait until the prices go up and government incentives are gone. (new home incentives are not the only government tax credits available, they now have a “move up” incentive for current home owners.)

Raymond is holding his own.  He is so cute and looks so fragile.  He was diagnosed with Lukemia. From what I have read, this is not totally unexpected in a down syndrome child.  There is a chance that he could go into spontaneous remission, but will have to be watched as it could return in later years.  For now, we just hope he goes into remission.  They also said he has a problem with his red blood cells and may require a blood transfusion.  Hard to imagine so much happening with this little guy.  Though he looks so fragile, he looks to be a fighter so I have faith it will all work out.   Erica went home last Thursday,  the rest of the family are doing well.

Thanks for all the prayers, please keep praying.
