GOLD COUNTRY HOMES • October 12-18, 2018
The Hidden Benefits of Buying a Home in the Fall I was getting a coffee at Baked and Brewed the other day when I bumped into my friend, KT. After chatting for a few minutes, my favorite topic popped up: real estate. KT started to tell me about her friend who was looking at getting into a property in Auburn. She hadn't seen anything she loved and had given up. Now that the busy holiday season is just around the corner, she didn’t want to deal with the hassle of moving. I explained that people often think buying a home in the fall is a bad idea. Ironically, it can be a great time of year to shop for a property for the following reasons:

Seller Pricing Power Has Shifted
Buyers Have an Edge
This year we are seeing the inventory level inch up as more homes are currently for sale than this time last year. In addition, prices have softened over the last three months. A well-maintained home in a good location with popular features like a chef’s kitchen is still in demand. However, homes that are perceived to be priced away from the market are
Home s a le s i n t he Auburn market peak in late Spring and Summer. Fall tends to be slower, as sellers do not want their homes shown during the holidays and buyers are reluctant to move during the rainy holiday season. This time of year, some of the listed properties have been on the market since the summer. These sellers are motivated and will give careful consideration to a realistic offer. In addition, lower buyer competition means there is less chance of a multiple bid situation.

COURTESY
Buying in the fall will allow you to take advantage of end-of-year tax deductions. l i n g e r i n g . Ty p i c a l l y, Sellers of these “slow movers” will either take the property off the market or they realize they should temper their expectations and look at offers below asking price.
Tax Advantages Buying in the fall will allow you to take advantage of end-of-year ta x deductions. You should be able to defer some of the costs of ownership and purchase of your home on
your taxes. As KT and I finished up our coffee, we came to the conclusion that it’s hard to argue with Santa, if he wants to give you a new home in t ime for Christmas.
Have a great week and thanks for reading. If you have questions or comments, please contact me at k f it z hen r y @ golyon. com.

5 yard updates for a fall weekend If you love spending time in your yard, the colder weather can cause the blues. Here's an easy fix: get a head start on spring and use the fall weekends to complete a project that will enhance you r ya rd. By spr i ng, they'll be ready for your finishing touches! Zen garden: Building a free-standing, minimalist zen garden is a simple but powerfully effective way to add beauty and texture to a lawn or patio. To get a head start in the fall, plan where you'd like to set that rectangle of tranquility in your yard. Once that's measured and marked off, you can rent a sod cutter to almost effortlessly remove t he g ra ss. Before t he ground freezes, give that rectangle a stone border, and cover with a tarp. When spring comes, the foundation of your zen space will be ready and
waiting for you to add plants, shrubs, gravel, lanterns and maybe a statue or two. Pond: This fall, choose a sunny spot in your yard to build your pond, and then rent a tool, like a mini-excavator, to move the dirt and even carve out the terraces. When that's done, add your sand layer and w ater proof l i ner a nd install the pump. Finally, arrange the rocks to create a beaut if u l a nd natur a l-look i ng per i meter that's waiting for water and plants. Patio and p ergola : Patios are far less expensive than decks to build and easier to maintain and repair. You can also add a pergola to create a beautiful space for outdoor dining and entertaining. With the help of a rented post hole digger, you can have the posts in place before t he snow flies.
Flower beds: Flower beds add beauty to your yard, but they can a c c ompl i s h s o muc h more. Wide beds along property lines can create a privacy buffer between you and the rest of the world and increase the curb appeal of your home. Preparing the bed in the fall means less dirt work in the spring, so you can spend that time getting plants in the ground. If you decide you want the bed to be bigger, just rent a walk-behind skid steer a nd get t he job done quickly. Fire pit: Nothing's better than sitting around the fire with friends and loved ones. Fire pits are the ideal fall project because you c a n st a r t enjoy i ng it almost right away. Rent a cement mixer and a paver saw for custom-f it ted pieces, and enjoy!

Copper Pipes Leaking Under House Dear Barry: During the past year, our hot water pipes have de velope d fou r le a k s under the house. With each occ u r rence, t he ground area below the bu i ld i ng ha s bec ome soaked, causing moisture damage to the subf loor. The plumber who repaired t he lea ks found sma l l holes in the copper elbows, and he blamed the circulation pump on our water heater.How cou ld t his have happened in a custom home that is only seven years old, and what can we do to resolve it? Audra Dear Audra: Circulating hot water systems have become increasingly popular in recent years because they eliminate the inconvenience of waiting for hot water to arrive at the faucets. Most circulating systems function for many years without any major problems, but in some cases, microscopic air bubbles in the water supply can cause erosion of the internal pipe surfaces, resulting in eventual leakage, especially at the pipe elbows. This problem occurs most often in hot water systems that have high-velocity circulating pumps. High-speed pumps often create a churning effect, causing the air molecules

in the water to spin.These minute bubbles act as abrasive particles against t he pipe su r faces, a s though a sand storm wereocc u r r i ng w it h i n t he water lines. Plumbers who install circulating systems are advised to use low-speed pumpswherever possible. Another preventive measure would be to install heavier-gauge water pipes. Residential water lines typically consist of type M copper.When circulating pumps are installed, type L or type K pipes, which are thicker gauges of copper, are advised to prevent wear and leaks. Another alternative is to use PEX plastic pipe, which has become the material of choice in most new residential construction. Now that your plumbing system is worn and prone to leakage, it may be necessary to replace all of the hot water pipes.This will have to be determined by your plumber.

In newer garages, vents a re t y pica l ly om itted, because the current trend is to finish garage interiors with drywall. The original intent for installing garage vents was not to provide com-
bustion air for gas appliances, but rather to enablecar exhaust and gasoline f umes to escape. These reasons would seem to warrant an active code requirement, but none has ever been enacted. According to applicable codes, air openings are only required for gas fixtures when the volume of the room or enclosure is less than 50 cubic feet per 1000 BTU's. In most cases,

Should sellers counter a low offer?
Question: Dear Kari, My home was listed on the market for 10 days when my agent said he received an offer from an agent and
wanted me to come to his office to view the offer. I was shocked at how low it was. My question is: should I try to work it out or wait for something better?

Answer: Even if your home has been listed for just a few days, if you r home is priced well, you can reject the offer and be reasonably confident that a bett e r o n e w i l l f o l l o w. However, now might be the time to take a hard look at your asking price. If your price is on the high side, the offer may not be t h at u n r e a s on a ble. I would recommend that you don’t “just say no” to a low offer until you have explored all the options. Keep in mind that this f irst offer is often t he beginning opening of the
