Belhaven Security

A Message from John Lewis, President

Greater Belahven Security Association
There were two recent incidents in the neighborhood of which you need to be aware.

1. A neighbor left some packages on her front porch to be picked up for delivery. Someone came along and stole the packages before they could be picked up. Please do not leave packages unattended at your home or in your cars.
Please remove delivered packages from your porches ASAP.

2. A resident on St. Ann Street was headed home, through the neighborhood, around 7:30 pm last night. She pulled up behind a silver Olds Cutlass, stopped in the street. They motioned for her to pull around.  She did, not realizing they were going to follow her home.  As she exited her car to head into her home, she was approached by an armed man who demanded her purse.  She refused and he pulled it off her arm. They drove off in the Cutlass, north on St. Ann.  Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.  

Please be VERY cautious when coming and going during the holiday season, especially after dark.  If you think you are being followed, make the block and see if they follow you.  If you see any suspicious vehicles in the neighborhood, please call SECURITAS at 601-720-6452.

If you are not a member of GBSA and would like to join, please call Nada in John Lewis' office at 601-353-0800 for more information.

Mortgage Rates Drop Again!

Click the pic to see this listing!

It's an odd questions, but in today's dropping mortgage rates it a question that is worth asking...  It's incredible but as CNN Money reports 15 yr am's are down to 2.66%.  Remarkably we're even hearing that some of our clients have secured rates of as low as 2.87% on 30 yr money.  (What!?)  Yeah, incredible isn't it.  How much cheaper can it get?  Well, as for an answer - we don't know, but it raises a funny question:

If you're waiting on rates to drop to buy - isn't it about time to go ahead and make a move?

Crazy isn't it...  That's some cheap money... Click here to read the entire article on CNN Money.

To put things in perspective, the above listed house is 729 Euclid.  It is currently listed at $346,000.00.  If you were to purchase it at list price today, and you were able to secure a 2.87% 30 yr am your monthly principal and interest payment would only be $1434.60.

763 Gillespie St. Great House For Sale

SOLD - SOLD - SOLD - SOLD


It is a rare occasion in Belhaven that you have a chance to buy a large house suitable for a family that has such classic details as 763 Gillespie.This 3200 square foot 3 bedroom, 3.5 bath home was renovated in 2008 and was updated top to bottom.From the moment you step onto the 19 X 13 front porch with original Corinthian columns, you have a sense that this house is unique. Most people’s living rooms are smaller than 19 X 13! You enter the house into a 17 x 20 parlor with beamed ceiling and to your right you enter the 22X 15 Living room with the original fireplace. All the rooms in this house are huge. The Kitchen/ Keeping room is totally updated with Granite slab and stainless appliances. There is also a 1000 square foot basement with 10 foot ceilings and 5 windows. You would be hard pressed to find a house of this age that has so much storage space. All in all, the most impressive parts of this house to me are the trim carpentry details and the floors. No one could afford to build this way today. Call me if you would like to schedule a showing.             601-624-7948      .
