What’s Your Home’s Price Tag Now?

As the housing market bounces back in many parts of the country, you may be wondering: What’s my home worth now? There’s actually more than one answer, according to Scott Halliwell, a certified financial planner at USAA. He says your home has three potentially very different price tags based on its: 1. Market value 2. Replacement value 3. Property tax value 6 | YourAtHomeNow.com

“Since different values can be used for different reasons, it’s important to understand when each applies,” Halliwell says, adding that some of these values may move in different directions at the same time.

Doing Your Own Taxes?

24 | YourAtHomeNow.com


homefront

Here’s What You Need To Know More than 43.6 million Americans prepared and e-filed their own income tax returns in 2013, up 4 percent from the year before, according to the IRS. In addition to being more affordable than a storefront or accountant, online and mobile solutions have made doing your own taxes exceptionally easy and fast. “Consumers now have everything for filing their own tax returns right at their fingertips,” says TaxACT spokesperson Jessi Dolmage. The programs ask simple questions, covering tax law changes and maximizing your credits and deductions. After e-filing, you can be notified when your return is accepted by the IRS, and solutions like TaxACT help you check the status of your federal refund. The process is already easy and fast when doing your taxes online or with a mobile app, but to make it even more of a cinch, follow these tips: 1. Gather and organize your tax documents beforehand, including a copy of last year’s return. 2. Don’t wait until the last minute. Rushing often leads to errors. 3. Do an apples-to-apples comparison of do-it-yourself tax solutions. Some require you to upgrade if your return requires additional tax forms. You can avoid the gimmicks with TaxACT Free Federal since it includes all e-fileable forms for simple and complicated returns. 4. The Affordable Care Act will have little to no impact on most Americans’ taxes this year, but you may need to report information about your health care costs on your return. The amount you and your employer contribute to your employer-sponsored health coverage will be on your Form W-2 in Box 12, with Code DD. Although you must report the amount on your return, it does not impact the amount of tax you might owe. It’s there simply to help you compare costs of coverage. Just enter the amount when prompted by your tax solution. 5. E-file your return and choose direct deposit for the fastest possible refund. Unlike paper returns, e-filing allows you to know when your return has been processed by the IRS.

* American Opportunity Credit - This is worth up to $2,500 per student for the first four years of college costs in a degree or certificate program. Costs may include tuition, fees and books. You also may be eligible to receive up to 40 percent ($1,000) as a refund. * Tuition and fees deduction - If you, your spouse or your dependent are enrolled in college, you may be able to deduct tuition, even if you don’t itemize deductions. You generally take this deduction if you don’t qualify for an education credit or other tax break for the same expenses. * Educator expenses deduction - Elementary and secondary educators can deduct up to $250 in related job expenses for books, supplies, computer equipment, other equipment and supplementary materials used in the classroom. Unlike most employee expenses, educator expenses are not reduced by 2 percent of your adjusted gross income. * Child and Dependent Care Credit - The maximum amount for the credit is now $3,000 if you have one child or $6,000 if you have two or more children. The children or dependents must be younger than 13 and childcare must be needed because parents work or attend school. * Child Tax Credit - The now permanent credit is $1,000 per child younger than 17. This credit may be claimed in addition to the Child and Dependent Care Credit. * Adoption credit - If you adopted in 2013, you may qualify for a credit up to $12,970 of your adoption expenses, including fees, court costs, attorney fees, traveling expense and other expenses directly related to and for the principal purpose of adopting an eligible child. If your employer provides adoption benefits, you may also be able to exclude up to the same amount from your income. Both a credit and exclusion may be claimed for the same adoption, but not for the same expense. * Deduction for mortgage insurance premiums - Also known as private mortgage insurance (PMI), you may be able to deduct mortgage insurance premiums as mortgage interest.

Key Tax Law Changes That Could Impact Your Return

The majority of this year’s key tax law changes were the result of two acts - the Affordable Care Act of 2010, also known asObamacare, and the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012. The easiest way-to navigate all the tax law changes-and determine if you qualify for hundreds of tax benefits, is to use an-online or mobile tax preparation solution. The programs ask easy questions, covering all-available-credits and deductions to help minimize your tax liability and maximize your refund If your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is under $200,000 ($250,000 if filing jointly), you may benefit from several tax breaks that have been extended or made permanent. * The standard deduction for married taxpayers filing jointly is now permanently increased and expands the 15 percent tax bracket. * The child tax credit is $1,000 for each child under age 17 on Dec. 31. The amount decreases at higher income levels. A portion of the credit also remains refundable through 2017. In addition, the maximum amount of expenses for the Child and Dependent Care Credit has been made permanent at $3,000 for one child and $6,000 for two or more children. * The American Opportunity Credit,-tuition deduction, student loan interest deduction, and-$2,000 annual contribution limit to Coverdell Education Savings Accounts are still available for 2013. 28 | YourAtHomeNow.com

* Elementary and secondary educators can again deduct up to $250 in related job expenses, even if you don’t itemize deductions. Unlike most employee expenses, educator expenses are not reduced by 2 percent of your adjusted gross income. * If you pay mortgage insurance premiums, also known as private mortgage insurance (PMI), you may be able to deduct premiums as mortgage interest. * The Alternative Minimum Tax was created to ensure wealthy taxpayers receiving large tax benefits pay some tax. It will now be adjusted for inflation each year so fewer taxpayers are subject to the tax. The exemption amount rises in 2013 to $51,900 ($80,800 for married couples filing jointly). For married individuals filing separately, the exemption is $40,400.


If your modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is under $200,000 ($250,000 if filing jointly), you may benefit from several tax breaks that have been extended or made permanent.

* You may qualify for a credit equal to up to $12,970 of your adoption expenses including fees, court costs, attorney fees, traveling expense and other expenses directly related to and for the principal purpose of the legal adoption of an eligible child. If your employer provides adoption benefits, you may also be able to exclude up to the same amount from your income. Both a credit and exclusion may be claimed for the same adoption, but not for the same expense. * For 2013, you can still deduct state and local sales taxes. You can take this deduction or a deduction for state income tax but not both. * Qualified dividends will be taxed at preferential capital gains rates rather than those used for ordinary income. * If your MAGI-is more than $200,000 ($250,000 if filing jointly), you may pay an additional Medicare surtax on earned income, as well as higher taxes on net investment income, long-term capital gains and qualified dividends. The amount of your personal exemptions and itemized deductions is also less starting this year. The marginal income tax rate for incomes above $400,000 ($450,000 if filing jointly) also increases from 35 percent to 39.6 percent for 2013. * One change affecting taxpayers of all income levels is the increased floor for deducting medical expenses. Taxpayers under the age of 65 can now only deduct unreimbursed medical and dental expenses that exceed 10 percent of your adjusted gross income (AGI). The floor remains at 7.5 percent if you’re 65 or older. Learn more about these tax law changes in Publication 17 at www.irs.gov January 2014 | 29

Questions:

Q

about Charlotte area real estate market

Q:

I have the perfect house in the perfect neighborhood, and I would like to contract for it. The problem is that I already own a house, and I have to sell that house before I can buy another one. Is it unreasonable to ask that the sellers wait for me to sell my house so I can buy theirs?

A:

What you have described is a contingency offer, and what that means is that you are willing to commit to buying the house as soon as you have sold your existing house. While this may be a situation that is seemingly agreeable to you, it most likely will not be one that is agreeable to the seller. During the time that the seller is waiting for you to sell your house, he/she may lose other non-contingent buyers who could contract and close before you have a buyer for yours. The seller would be at a disadvantage in this type of arrangement, and few sellers are willing to place themselves in such a predicament. If, however, the seller does agree, he or she may determine the terms under which they will agree. You may have to agree to allowing the seller to consider another buyer, if the next buyer’s offer is not dependent on the sale of an existing

&A

with Jo

home, as long as you are given notice and the opportunity to proceed without selling your home first. Even though you may be placed at a disadvantage by such terms, you would still need to move forward in much the same way as you would if your offer were non-contingent. You would need to be qualified by your lender and provide documentation that you can afford the home and that you would be using the proceeds from the sale of your existing home to proceed with the purchase. In addition to paying in advance for an appraisal, you would also need to complete inspections, order a survey, and engage an attorney to complete a title search for the house. Even though you have not sold your home, you would still be investing time and money in hopes of purchasing the next one. So, in short, if you wish to commit to purchasing your perfect house before you have sold your current one, just be aware of the potential problems and proceed with caution. It goes without saying that you would definitely be well advised to enlist the assistance of an experienced real estate professional who can guide you through this very complex process.

Charlotte Real Estate Outlook…. Now is the Time to Buy!

Santa is not the only “gift giver” during the holiday season. You can actually give yourselves a gift and a substantial gift it could be during the next several weeks. If you have been looking or even considering purchasing a home in the past few weeks, you really should consider the advantages of purchasing a home now versus waiting until the spring season of 2014. There are a number of reasons why waiting may cost you money both in the short term and more particularly in the long term if you wait much longer. While interest rates have gone up from the early parts of 2013, they are still “substantially” lower than we have seen on average during the last ten years. With rates hovering around the mid 4% range during November and early December for a 30 year fixed mortgage, the Fed is expected to be under some pressure at its next meeting and last meeting of this year to announce or to begin the process of “seriously” announcing a reduction of its purchases of bonds, which helped the economy during the previous three and a half years as banks would have additional funds to lend when the Federal Reserve purchased their mortgages each month. These purchases added funds and acted as a “stimulus” to the economy in order to generate consumer purchasing activity which presumably and theoretically provided a stimulus for employers to add employees and cause unemployment to go down. And as of last week unem32 | YourAtHomeNow.com

ployment figures have declined. But that is a different topic for another day! This reduction or “tapering” if it announced at the December meeting is expected to stimulate both fixed rate mortgages and adjustable rates to increase an estimated one half to one full percentage point within a short period of time. This doesn’t sound like a lot and “in the scheme of things” could still be considered a “bargain” rate compared to the rates experienced during the recent housing “bubble” of a decade ago. But to a family looking at a $200,000 mortgage in November at a 4.5% mortgage rate with a principal and interest payment of $1.013.37 will now be looking at a principal and interest payment of $1,135.58 at a 5.5% rate…. a difference of $122.21 a month. That is a 12.06% increase per month and a whopping $43,995.60 increase in payments over the life of the 30 year mortgage. Now that is a wonderful Christmas present to yourselves if you act quickly to save such a significant amount of money right off the bat. There are other reasons why waiting could hurt. Recently Chuck Graham, a principal of Newton Graham Consultants, a Charlotte, N.C.-based management consulting firm presented to the Home Builders Association of Charlotte at their annual review of the previous year and a “outlook” for the future indicated that the market is expected to grow significantly


industry news pressure on both new homebuilders as well as remodelers to raise prices for their goods and services. An additional consequence will be an expected increase in “resale” values for existing homes as inventory will continue to be tight and median prices increase to the average consumer. According to Alma Jacobs of Suntrust Mortgage the “third rail” of this sensitivity to buying now versus waiting is the regulations that have and will cause lenders to change the way they do business with mortgage applicants. While too numerous to mention specifically here, it is noted that almost every lending institution will be under legal requirement of some type to adapt the changes in lending practices related to the passage of the Dodd-Frank Bill several years ago. Higher down payments, shorter processing times between application and closings, lower FHA limits for mortgage amounts and additional changes in how private mortgage insurance is calculated and required will simply add more cost to the loan to the consumer. While there are several “good” things this bill will generate for the consumer, there will be expected additional costs related to its implementation. So as you check off your Christmas list for your family and friends, it might be wise as well to check off purchasing that new home now as the timing could not be better for all of the above reasons and it will provide you an opportunity to begin the new year in a home you will enjoy for many, many years.

during 2014 and 2015 as long as the current stability of the market remained. He presented a number of issues facing the local, regional and national new home builders of the Charlotte market however and one of the most significant concerns continues to be the “lack” of inventory. This inventory is very pronounced in the new home category as we are now “paying” for the lack of new construction during the Great Recession. With this limited supply of new homes and the “ready to build on” lots which are necessary for those new permits to begin comes the expected increase in the cost of building new inventory. There have been and there are expected additional increases in the cost of construction for new homes across the U.S. Supplies such as drywall, concrete, brick and just about anything else that you can think of has or will probably go up in the next few months as demand and other costs related to getting the goods to market increase. In addition, Tom Pearson, principal of Pearson Land Development, a recent 2013 honoree of the N.C. Housing Hall of Fame Award believes the cost of erosion control, land and the infrastructure needed to prepare a subdivision for homes to be sold has or is expected to significantly increase over the next few months. According to Pearson, the median price of a home in the Charlotte metro area is expected to jump at a faster pace than what we experienced the last three to five years. This will continue to put

How To Maintain Your Deck For Outdoor Entertaining Year-Round Expanding livable space using decks and patios is a top home improvement trend, but today’s homeowners aren’t satisfied with limiting entertaining outdoors to the warmer months. With a few smart updates, they’re creating spaces that make outdoor entertaining possible all year long. Breathe new life into your existing deck and create a space that can be used for entertaining year-round with a few expert tips. “Winter doesn’t mean retreating indoors when you have

Board offer a few tips for maintaining a wood deck and creating an oasis for entertaining even during cooler weather: 1. Schedule an annual cleaning Wood is a natural material with inherent qualities that blend well with the outdoor environment, but it’s important to conduct regular maintenance. Cleaning solutions and wood brighteners are good options to restore the natural beauty of your wood deck. Be sure to read the container to make sure the cleaner is appropriate for the wood species used for your deck. There are generally three types of cleaners: chlorine bleach solutions kill mold and mildew, oxygen bleaches remove mildew and help restore weathered gray wood, and oxalic acid-based solutions are ideal brighteners when mildew is not a concern. A simple garden hose with sprayer is best to rinse the cleaner from your deck.- Some prefer to use a powerwasher which can be a good way to rid your deck of grime, and some machines even have reservoirs for holding mild detergents. When using a powersprayer on your wood deck, set it at the lowest pressure possible, around 500 psi. continued on page 37

2. Check surfaces, structure and fasteners Even in more temperate regions, changes in temperature can stress wood and metal fasteners, so deck maintenance is important no matter where you live. Check for and replace wood that is cracked or warped, paying special attention to any areas that tend to remain damp or are regularly exposed to water. Check that deck railings are sound by giving them a solid push, there shouldn’t be any give. Checking your deck’s hardware is important too - particularly the flashing. Flashing is the metal or plastic guard that directs water away from sensitive areas, usually where the deck and the house meet. Be sure to give all nails, screws and anchors a onceover too, and tighten or replace where necessary. 3. Arrange furniture thoughtfully and add touches of comfort Patio furniture keeps guests comfortable so they linger longer. Furniture with seat cushions or other padding are warmer options on cold days. Remember, when preparing for year-long outdoor entertaining, it’s important to arrange furniture to encourage conversation while maintaining the flow of traffic in and out of the house. To stave off the chill, especially when entertaining in the evening after the sun has gone down, it’s crucial to keep your outdoor space comfortable, warm and well-lit. Add throws to

furniture for guests to use and incorporate a fire pit or chimnea to the space to keep guests toasty - these items also create a wonderful ambiance that beautifully contrasts the winter season. -A few strings of lights or strategically placed lanterns make an outdoor area more attractive while adding an element of safety, so be sure to light railings and steps as necessary. “Wood is a versatile and affordable material that, when used in a patio space, provides the perfect backdrop for an amazing outdoor space,” says Clement. “With the right maintenance and a few thoughtful touches, a wood deck can serve as a gathering place for parties or a reprieve for a cozy night at home with loved ones any day throughout the year.”

Easy-To-Update Items To Make Your New Home Yours (BPT) - This year more than 5.4 million homes were sold by the end of August, according to the National Association of Realtors. Are you one of these millions of new homeowners? If so, you’ve most likely felt the urge to settle in immediately. However, before making any major renovations, it’s a good idea to live in a new home a while to see how the space is meeting your needs. Here are a few swift swaps that will have a big impact in making that new house feel like home sweet home.

Fabulous frames When moving into a new space, the things you love should take center stage. Once your home reflects who you are, the rest will slowly fall into place. Photo frames are the ideal choice to add a decorative and personalized touch to any room. Bring this common decor pick into the modern age by creating a personal gallery and displaying frames of varying shapes and sizes. To do this, plan the layout of the frames before hanging, either with paper on the wall or by arranging them on the floor. Or, you can simply purchase pre-arranged frame galleries at home decor retailers.

Kitchen and bath makeovers tend to have the biggest impact on a home and its resale value. However, new homeowners who are strapped for cash may not have a large budget for a fullscale bathroom remodel. Fortunately, there are several basic swaps that can quickly change the look and feel of a bath. The easiest way to remodel your bathroom is to replace its hardest-working fixture - the faucet. This is a project new homeowners can tackle themselves at a reasonable price. For a polished look, swap out old hardware with affordable, coordinated accessories including robe hooks, towel rings and towel bars.

Personalize with paint It may be the most obvious update but painting is an easy solution to change the look of a room in an instant. Whether you paint an entire room,-create a bold accent wall or incorporate glossy white trim, paint is an affordable fix for any home. You can easily and quickly bring your design ideas to life with Shape Tape from FrogTape. Available in three on-trend patterns: Wave, Chevron and Scallop, Shape Tape makes it simple to achieve unique, repetitive decorative painting styles. Each roll of tape features a precut repeating pattern, so all you need to do is simply unroll, apply and get painting to create your desired look. From delicate, narrow waves throughout a bathroom or nursery, to bold, wide chevron patterns in the living area or bedroom, this tape can be used in any room of the house. January 2014 | 39

At Home in Lake Norman with Frances Dawson Selling Your Home in 2014

The market is improving and you have decided it is time to list your home for sale. Here four things to think about but certainly not all the tips essential for a successful home sale and closing. If you wish to speak with me regarding the specifics of your home, neighborhood or current market information, please call to schedule a personal appointment.

Be Flexible with Showings—You have pets, family considerations and possibly work from home, all these things make showings for potential buyers challenging. However, you cannot sell your home if you do not show your home. When I am showing property to a buyer, I collect the listings I can manage to show in a given time frame and arrange them based on location. I then assign reasonable showing times to get from one property to the other and FINALLY Picking a Realtor®—Don’t let an agent “buy” your listing. call to make the appointments. If you want me to come earlier or Many people take the time to interview 2 or 3 Realtor®’s to find the one that is most knowledgeable about their specific area/ later I will have to rearrange my entire day and that is not likely so neighborhood, experienced and one that has solid marketing sav- I will probably just remove your home from the list. Lost showing and lost selling opportunity. The same is true if you are requiring a vy, then make the final Realtor® choice based on the suggested listing price. An agent “buys” the listing by suggesting you might 24 hour notice or, no showings after 3 pm, etc. I don’t know your showing restrictions until I have laid out my day and called for the be able to get a higher sales price than other agents recommend, appointment—a bunch of restrictions will mean many missed opporeven though market sales and comparable homes demonstrate a tunities.

Recent market sales will be your guide and they drive up. That first impression really is key and is difficult to your home will only sell if your listing price is in line. You want overcome whether positive or negative. The exterior must reflect a a Realtor® that wants to SELL your home, not just market your home that is cared for and maintained or the buyer will assume the home and add to their listing inventory. interior has not been cared for and maintained. A bit of extra care on the outside could also positively impact the buyer’s feelings regardDisconnect Your Feelings—Your home holds special, chering any potential negatives with the home’s interior layout, age or ished memories for you and your family, but when you decide to sell, you must look at it as someone else’s future house.
