8. Forgetting To Lock Your Rate

B

BY JOANNE DIMAGGIO

uying a home and going through the mortgage process can be stressful and have long-term negative consequences if you don’t avoid some of these common pitfalls.

be versed in the programs available today and will take into consideration the taxes, homeowners insurance and mortgage insurance if required when determining the qualification. Many of the web sites won’t take those items into consideration.”

1. Not Getting A Fixed Rate Loan

3. Not Checking Your Credit

Fixed-rate loans are no longer priced at record lows, so you might be tempted to grab an adjustable-rate mortgage.

But unless you’re planning to move within five to seven years, you’ll be better off sticking with a fixed-rate loan.

Leonard Winslow, a loan officer with Movement Mortgage, LLC, says the job of a loan officer is to determine your long and short-term needs or goals and to find if there are any future life events. i.e. an inheritance, sale of a property or asset to determine if a large influx of liquid cash is coming into the household. “By determining those needs, the loan officer can determine if an adjustable rate may or may not be an alternative,” he said.

2. Letting The Bank Tell You What You Can Afford Banks are in the business of maximizing their earnings, not making sure you don’t overextend yourself. “It is best to go to a registered or licensed loan officer to determine what you can afford in the form of sales price, loan amount, program or payment,” advised Winslow. “The loan officer will

A bad credit score can bump up your mortgage interest rate several percentage points or leave you with no approval at all. “Getting the credit score is not the most important thing but knowing what is on the report is more important,” Winslow said. “What borrowers don’t realize is that there are several scoring models and the score they think is a mortgage score is in fact a retail score, which is more liberal and typically higher.”

4. Applying For New Credit Alongside The Mortgage If you happen to apply for a credit card or auto loan around the same time you apply for a mortgage, your credit score might get dinged enough to kill your eligibility or bump up your interest rate. “This is a major no-no,” said Winslow. “You should not disturb your credit before the process starts or during the mortgage process. New credit raises red flags and drops your credit score.”

5. Ignoring The True Cost Of Home Ownership A common mistake is not factoring principle, interest, taxes and insur-

ance (PITI) into your overall mortgage budget. Even homeowner association fees should be considered. “You need to budget that item as you move forward,” said Winslow. “Other things you need to budget for is general maintenance, setting aside a few dollars for major items like a roof, heating and cooling units, water heaters and well pumps if they apply.”

6. Job Hopping An underwriter will want to know that the income you bring in every month is consistent and expected to continue into the foreseeable future.

“Moving from one job to another in the same field for more money or the same money with better benefits would be okay,” Winslow explained.

“But if you are moving to chase a dollar and it is in various fields, then you will need to be on that job and considered full time for six months before applying for a loan.”

7. Not Getting Pre-Approved “Getting pre-approved is paramount in giving you the buyer power when negotiating,” said Winslow. “Pre-approval allows you to set the program and parameters for you and your agent to work within. Most agents will not even place you in the car until you have at least spoken to a lender and then at offer time they will not submit the contract without a pre-approval or at the very least a pre-qualification. If you

If you’re putting little to nothing down, you’re looking at several potential problems. “While it is great to be able to reduce the amount of funds that are needed for closing, there is a risk that occurs also,” said Winslow.

“The less money you put down the less equity you will have in the home. If you plan to move in three years you may not be able to recoup what you put into the home or cover the other costs of selling the home.”

HOME FINANCE

Mortgage Mistakes to Avoid

9. Putting Little Or No Money Down

10. Not reading your loan documents Finally, it’s your responsibility to read and accept the terms of your new mortgage. Yes, it’s a pain to go through all of the loan documents at signing, but it’s a bigger pain to sign up for something you don’t want or agree with. Take the time at closing to ensure you understand everything you’re signing, and thereby agreeing to. “Loan documents are legal contracts and as such should be read and understood,” said Winslow. “At the closing table many documents/disclosures will be re-signed, but the two most important are the Note (your promise to pay) and the Deed of Trust, which provides the remedies in the case of foreclosure or slow payment and spells out what can or cannot be done to the property.”

People make smart mortgage choices every day. This list of common mortgage mistakes you should avoid will turn you into a savvy borrower so that owning your home will be a joy, not a burden, and will help you achieve long-term financial security. n

Mortgage rates change daily and sometimes several times daily. All those quotes you obtain are just quotes until you tell the bank, lender, or broker to lock it in. “Forgetting to lock the interest rate can be disastrous,” said Winslow. “It is not up to the loan officer to remind you. It is your responsibility to tell the lender to lock the rate after discussing what the rate is. A loan officer can only advise the plus and minus of locking or not locking into the rate on any given day. It is your responsibility to make sure—and get written confirmation—that the rate is locked when you tell the loan officer to do so.”

house they are in and want real changes without the chaos of remodeling. Maybe a brand-new home in an eco-savvy development appeals to them, or they want a substantial change in the size of their home—either larger or small.

LOVE IT or LIST IT

a

BY MARILYN PRIBUS

s home prices increase, homeowners are finding new options available to them. Many have regained the equity they’d lost over the last several years and this creates an opportunity to remodel or sell. For those still sitting on the fence, we’re offering some tips to help make that all-important decision.

A basic starting point is to realize that while financial aspects of this decision must be carefully weighed, the

choice is about far more than what shows up on a spreadsheet. A great deal depends on the personalities, desires, and emotional investment of the homeowners.

Some people love their neighborhood, their landscaping, and their school district. They aren’t entirely happy with their home’s layout or size, but despite the potential chaos, they are willing to make significant changes through remodeling or adding on.

Other people do not love their location. They don’t especially like the

For many people who like their location including their neighborhood, their neighbors, and the schools if they have children, it’s an easy choice to stay.

There are distinct benefits in knowing who’s next door and which young person will mow a lawn, baby-sit, or water the plants when you’re out of town. In addition, there’s a welcome continuity in enjoying a home you’ve lived in over the years and the yard where the saplings you planted are now providing significant shade.

It may be, however, that the house has become outdated. Especially if it is one of the smaller dwellings in a neighborhood, adding on or upgrading can make a lot of sense. In that case, this might be a great time for remodel. Some people make significant upgrades to create an up-to-date kitchen or a luxurious, but eco-savvy bathroom. Others finally add a garage or screened porch.

“Do you love your location?” asks REALTOR® Bill May, owner of Bill May Realty Company. “If so, from that point on, it’s easy to decide. What we’re seeing now is that people aren’t as interested in moving. Location is everything and if you have a good one, you will add on all day long.”

In point of fact, that’s exactly what May and his wife did. “We have a great view,” he reports enthusiastically.

“That view kept us there and we added on—actually doubled the size of the house. We wanted a place for friends and children to stay and we had the location we wanted.”

“A lot of people are invested in their community and so they stay,” chimes in Todd McGee, a REALTOR® with Nest Realty. “We’re seeing that when people love the area and amenities and schools, they may move within the neighborhood. They may trade up or they trade down on the size of the house depending on their stage of life.

Or they stay in the same house and upgrade to today’s trends and make energy efficient improvements to the house.”

McGee cautions that it is very important to weigh the cost of any improvement against the added value. “Is it worth it to add a mud room when you may not get dollar for dollar out of the improvement?” he asks. “Be especially cautious about eliminating a bedroom.”

On the other hand, he continues, certain improvements consistently add value such as kitchen upgrades.

Particularly popular these days when it comes to remodeling, the kitchen is again becoming the center of the home for family and entertaining alike. In fact, homeowners may move or eliminate interior walls to enlarge the kitchen so it blends seamlessly with larger living areas.

Still, McGee says, you don’t have to do manor structural projects. “Things that you see good return in kitchens include new flooring, countertops, and appliances. Refacing cabinets is a good option, and a lot less expensive than replacing them entirely.”

Bathrooms are also good candidates for remodeling. “People really love bathroom upgrades,” McGee continues.

“Taller vanities are very popular and a lot of showers that were those fiberglass prefab units are being replaced with tile and frameless glass doors. Some people are taking out oversize spa tubs and putting in a large walk-in shower or a separate little ‘water closet’ room.”

Another popular option is to remodel a multi-level home to create a ground-floor bedroom suite with a luxurious bath, especially if children are heading out on their own and the owners are contemplating eventual retirement right where they are. “When homeowners are looking ahead and thinking about ‘aging in place,’ one of the first things they want is a first-floor master suite,” verifies REALTOR® Sue Raupp of Montague Miller and Company Realtor.

She points out that remodeling also gives an opportunity to increase safety and accessibility for older residents or persons with disabilities. Important amenities include secure handrails for stairs, good lighting, grab rails for bathrooms and toilets, high-visibility slip-resistant edging for outside steps or even no-step entries, wider hallways to potentially accommodate a wheelchair, door handles that are levers rather than knobs, and roll-in showers.

Even if these features aren’t needed now, they may increase the livability of the home in the future and the marketability of the home at any time.

Some people clearly enjoy the prospect of remodeling, combing the Internet for inspiration for floor plans, color schemes, and how to create a mini-office from a walk-in closet or a powder room from the storage space under the stairs. For them, the whole process is an adventure rather than an inconvenience. They don’t mind living with missing walls, cooking on a hot plate in the living room, or the whole

family using a single bathroom and shower for a month.

In addition, much remodeling can be done in steps and this mean a more gradual cash outlay. For people who don’t mind living in a less-than-finished way for a period of time, this can be part of the excitement of changing a house to be exactly what you want.

Another important aspect of major renovations is that they probably require building permits and adherence to zoning regulations. In some neighborhoods, remodellers will need an OK from a homeowners association, or even approval from neighbors. Then too, there may be unexpected structural considerations or costs. It’s always wise to obtain several written estimates from any contractors or suppliers you are considering.

Another important factor is the age of the house. An older home may require unexpected and expensive updates of electrical and plumbing systems once work starts. On the other hand, incorporating modern “green” technology may result in lower monthto-month utility energy costs.

Finally, before considering major remodeling it’s important to ask yourself some questions, warns McGee of Nest Realty. “If you are considering investing a lot of money, how long will you be there? Are your planned improvements consistent with other homes in area?” He says an experienced real estate professional can offer guidance about housing trends in your area.

List it Moving to a new home can be an expensive, time-consuming proposition that can also involve new schools, a new commute, and finding a new grocery store, doctor, and hairstylist.

Nevertheless, some people are definitely motivated to move—not just the ones leaving town. In some cases, people simply don’t like their present neighborhood. Other reasons can be that their family has grown with the addition of children or an older relative.

Or the kids are grown and gone. Some people are seeking a bigger house. A

smaller bungalow. A single-story home.

A condo in town. A place in the country. A retirement community. A better school district. A shorter commute.

Interestingly some people sell one house and buy another in the general area. May of Bill May Realty Company calls this moving for an “architectural” reason. In other words, the house itself just isn’t right any more. “Maybe the kids have left home or you are single,” he says. “I see people moving to a bigger house or a smaller house.”

He adds there is a growing trend toward condominium living where you can walk to places you want to go.

“Look at downtown Charlottesville,” he says. “They wouldn’t be building all those condos if they weren’t selling.”

Another reason to simply buy a different home rather than doing major remodeling would be the likelihood of a move in the next few years. Non-structural upgrades such as kitchen counters and appliances or bathroom fixtures may be an excellent idea when preparing to put a house on the market, but recouping the investment of major rearrangement of the home’s interior generally takes a number of years.

Still others decide they want major changes in the way they are living, but simply cannot face remodeling problems such as doing the dishes in the laundry while the kitchen is being overhauled or having to take bird baths for weeks while the bathroom is being realigned, retiled, and re-plumbed.

Another argument against remodeling is “over improving.” This occurs when the house is already one of the larger and more expensive ones in the neighborhood. It may not be smart financially to make it even more valuable in relation to its neighbors.

Then, of course, there’s the dust, the noise, the mess, and the disruption of strangers in the house when the homeowners want to relax. In some cases, remodeling isn’t practical because of the layout of the existing house, the size of the property, or local zoning regulations.

Granted, house hunting and selling a house can be stressful, but sometimes house-shoppers find a place that is perfect for them and can move in and start enjoying it right away with the finances clearly spelled out.

For these many reasons, the decision to sell is pretty easy. The homeowners just have to prepare to put their home on the market. (And that’s a whole ‘non ther article.)

Handmade in Virginia:

20th Annual Artisans Studio Tour

BY KEN WILSON

I

f you want to see what “handmade in Virginia” looks like, hit the road this weekend for the Artisans Studio Tour – and allow yourself some time. “Two years ago we documented a 400 attendance figure with just shy of 3,000 studio visits,” says potter and tour organizer Nancy Ross. That means people who started the tour went on to visit an average of about 7.5 studios apiece. It’s no wonder.

From pottery to quilting, from jewelry to furniture, and from the useful to the beautiful and the both at once, Virginia artisans offer much to see, admire, purchase and be inspired by.

Forty artisans in twenty-two studios in Charlottesville and surrounding counties will show their work and ALP ISIN

demonstrate their craft November 8-9, 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. as part of From Our Hands to Yours, the 20th annual free Artisans Studio Tour.

In a general store in Barboursville which they renovated themselves, the folks at Yaeger & Ernst have been designing and building fine furniture and residential cabinetry for over 30 years. “We are classic, custom cabinet makers,” Walter Jaeger says. “We produce interior fitments like kitchen or linen cabinets, paneling for libraries, bookcases, and furniture. It’s all custom made, and all on commission.”

In his studio in Amherst in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Kevin Crowe has been crafting Asian-English inspired, wood-fired stoneware pottery since 1980, using a 400-cubic foot Japanese-style hybrid kiln. “The chamber DAVE HELLER

holds a couple thousand pots,” Crowe says. “We fire over eight days, using seven to eight cords of wood.”

In her home in Charlottesville, Mary Beth Bellah has been fashioning three-dimensional quilts since 1996, incorporating everything from shipping materials to barbed wire. “The materials are like words,” Bellah says.

“They’re part of the conversation, and it doesn’t matter to me what those things are, it’s just that I love the stitch.

Fabric is my favorite media. It has an immediacy and a familiarity to it that I love working with.”

Here Is A Complete List Of Studios And Artisans On This Year’s Tour: At Phineas Rose Wood Joinery in Madison, Richard Gordon shows furniture and demonstrates hand woodworking; Ninika Gordon shows jewelry creations made from silver and select gemstones; Jo Perez displays ageless stained glass designs in panels, lamps and sculpture.

At Noon Whistle Pottery in Standardsville, Holly Horan offers slip-decorated functional pottery; John Pluta shows whimsical sculptures made of clay, wood, and found objects.

At Anne R. Hanson Jewelry in Ruckersville, Hanson shows silver, BiMetal, and 14k gold jewelry; Elizabeth Krome shows functional and decorative stoneware and porcelain.
