VA Financing for PA New Homes Benefits Veterans

Veterans Get Financing for PA New Homes
No matter what side of the political fence you sit on, we can all agree on one thing – military families make the ultimate sacrifice to protect our families, our PA new homes and our way of life. Too often, after back to back tours, veterans simply don’t get the thank you they deserve for their sacrifice.
At S&A Homes, we like to do more than just say thank you to veterans. For us, there is nothing more gratifying than helping a veteran and their family purchase a home for discounted interest rates, little to no money out of pocket and hassle-free. How is this done, you ask? Through VA Financing.
We have all heard of VA Financing, but few of us actually know the ins and outs of the program. This is due to the fact that various benefits are tied to certain years of service, whether a veteran is active with the military and more. But despite these nuances, the basics of the program remain the same. There are four key benefits: Read More→

PA New Homes at Harvest Glen Offer New Floor Plan
No doubt about it: the PA new homes in Altoona are a great choice for new home shoppers. Schools are top notch, the area has the best shopping around and there is an abundance of recreation to take advantage of. Perhaps one of Altoona’s biggest problems has been the lack of affordable new home options for first-time buyers!
That is why we are really excited to introduce our brand new Brookfield floor plan from just $139,900 in our newly overhauled Harvest Glen community! The Brookfield is an innovative townhome that offers buyers everything they could want in their brand new home including one-car garages, spacious kitchens and family rooms, up to 3 beds, 2 ½ baths and 1,650 square feet. Not only will buyers have a number of customizing features to choose from like morning rooms, finished basements and just about any finish you can think of, but each of these townhomes is maintenance-free too! That means spending more time enjoying what Altoona has to offer instead of maintaining your Pennsylvania new homes. Read More→

Introducing 5 Brand New Floor Plans for PA New Homes in Centennial Pointe
Posted by: | Comments
S&A Homes Introduces Five New Floor Plans at Centennial Pointe
We are in the PA new home business, so of course, we have a pretty good idea of what buyers are looking for. Great locations close to major roadways, downtown work areas, shopping and the best school districts always seem to top the list. And price point is more important now than ever. However, for some to gain all of these benefits, they often have to overlook the fact that their neighborhood looks a bit cookie-cutter, or sacrifice on amenities.
At Centennial Pointe, located just 1 mile from Robinson Town Centre and just 15 minutes from downtown Pittsburgh, there is no reason to sacrifice anything for affordable convenience. This community not only features an amazing location close to everything, but also includes a proposed swimming pool, clubhouse, basketball courts and tot lot.
And now, there is something even more special about Centennial Pointe. Our brand new product line up was rolled out on Feb. 1, and includes 5 brand new, Craftsman style homes that definitely defy the typical 4 bed, 2.5 bath home. Quaint covered porches, cedar-shake style siding and completely unique interiors are just part of what define these Pittsburgh new homes. The charm of yesteryear is no more evident than in these homes, and yet homeowners won’t have to give up anything in terms of modern amenities. Read More→

S&A Offers Savings on PA New Homes on Super Bowl Sunday
No matter if you live in our WV or PA new homes, chances are you have already chosen a team to route for this Super Bowl Sunday. But no town can appreciate football more than State College, PA, where football can at times border on obsession. And while this Sunday’s Superbowl event may not be quite as exciting as a Penn State game, we see no reason we can’t go all out here as a nod to our football heritage.
This Super Bowl Sunday, Feb. 5 from noon to 2 p.m. we are opening four of our quick delivery homes and offering our steepest discounts yet on them. Whether you seek the convenience of resort style living just steps from Beaver Stadium in a home at The Village at Penn State, a single-family home nested in the wooded enclave of Brynwood, a brand new home close to the downtown action in Hunter’s Chase or perhaps a superb value located in Steeplechase, just off of I-99 near downtown Bellefonte, we have a home for you!
These four homes are being offered from $234,900 up to $319,900 and are completely turn-key and most offer Seller’s Assist. We know a good price can be a game changer, so make sure you take some time to ramp up for your pre-game festivities by visiting us at one of the following this Sunday: Read More→
West Virginia – We Build on Our Lot or Yours
Posted by: | Comments
WV new homes on your lot or ours
West Virginia is known for its rolling hills, vast state parks, and beautiful scenery. It is also home to some of the most cutting edge technology firms and medical practices in the state, most of which are located on the I-79 Tech Corridor just south of Morgantown, WV and its environs. Smack dab in the middle of all this action (and scenery) is Bridgeport, WV, a tight knit community that combines small town friendliness with ultra convenient access to the workplace and area shopping and restaurants.
Charles Pointe, a master-planned community of WV new homes in the heart of Bridgeport, offers a myriad of possibilities for anyone who wants to live and work in the area. The community is packed full of amenities, and combines three neighborhoods into one.
Those seeking maintenance-free carriage home living could not ask for an easier life than the one they get at Parkview Village. These spacious townhomes offer first-floor living, spacious kitchens and great rooms in addition to community shopping, walking trails and recreation. Those looking for a bit more land will find it at Worthington Village and Hunter’s Chase. Both are part of the Charles Pointe master-planned Read More→
Last Chance to Purchase New Homes in State College at The Landings
Posted by: | Comments
Final Opportunities at The Landings
It’s not surprising to us that we are already down to our final two home sites remaining in this phase of The Landings, one of the area’s most popular single-family communities of new homes in State College. The Landings is priced just right – with single family homes starting in the $170,000s, there is no sense paying more money for an older home when you can get a brand new, energy efficient home for the same price, if not less.
What else makes this community so popular? Try its family friendly sidewalks, playgrounds, baseball fields and bike paths that allow commuters to get to downtown State College via bike, walking or car. Combine that with high quality, energy efficient homes in State College that feature energy saving features like CFL lighting, recycled materials, 2×6 construction and a high performance HVAC, and you couldn’t possibly find more bang for your buck in the area.

S&A Homes introduces Foxmoor, a community of Pittsburgh new homes
When it comes to picking new homes in Pittsburgh on prime real estate, few people will dispute that Cranberry Township is about as ripe as the pickings get. With an ideal location just off of Route 19, I-79 and the PA Turnpike, the area is better known for having some of the best jobs around, even better schools and all of the shopping and restaurants anyone could wish for.
So, it seems likely that living in this area must come with a steep price tag, right? Wrong! Foxmoor, S&A’s newest community, breaks all of the rules about best location and highest price. How about getting the best location at an extremely affordable price point?
This brand new, townhome community offers a whole lot more than affordable Pittsburgh new homes. The gated community offers maintenance-free living with home sites that range from ¼ acre all the way up to a ½ acre. The neighborhood even offers its residents access to a community pool, clubhouse and open space, so those living in Foxmoor can retreat to their community as though it is a resort destination!

Record Low Interest Rates for WV and PA New Homes, Again
Posted by: | Comments
Another Low for PA New Home Interest Rates
Boy, we are ALMOST sick of blogging about interest rates, because sometimes it feels like we are a broken record. Well, believe it or not interest rates are yet again at another record low. Just when you think the bottom can’t go any lower, it does, and boy…does that mean some home buyers of WV and PA new homes are getting the bargain of the century (literally)!
Consider this: home prices are at the lowest they have been in years. Top that with a 30-year fixed interest rate that is LESS than 4 percent and you have payments for large single-family homes that may actually be lower than your first apartment’s rent was years ago!
Let’s say you purchased a home for $350,000 in 2005 at 5.5 percent, which, at the time, was an extremely competitive interest rate. With 20 percent down, you were looking at a payment of $1,533 before taxes and insurance. Due to economic pressures, that same home may be closer to $325,000 today and the same 30-year fixed rate is now going for 3.75 percent. It means the payment on the exact same home with 20 percent down is now only $1,204. That’s a monthly savings of $319 with less money out of pocket for the exact same house. Read More→
