Americans Still See Homeownership as a Top Priority mericans still consider owning a home essential to the American Dream, and Washington policymakers would be wise to keep this in mind in the coming election season.

Proof of this statement is evident in a May 2011 poll conducted on behalf of the National Association of Home Builders by Public Opinion Strategies of Alexandria, Va., and Lake Research Partners of Washington, D.C. The national poll reached two thousand likely voters and asked them about their attitudes regarding homeownership and housing policy.

The results could not be clearer.

Despite the ups and downs of the housing market—and whether or not they currently own a home— voters overwhelmingly indicated that they place a high value on homeownership as a core achievement in their lives.

Of the poll respondents who are current home owners, nearly all of them—95 percent—said they are happy with their decision to own a home and believe that owning their own home is important. Almost three-quarters of respondents who do not now own a home said it is a goal of theirs to eventually buy one.

Equally telling, voters rated the importance of homeownership just as highly as the importance of being successful at their job or being able to pay for a family member’s education.

A

“The bottom line is, even after years of economic turmoil and an unprecedented and prolonged downturn in the housing market, homeownership is still a central goal for most Americans,” said Neil Jenzen, president of the Vikingland Builders Association. “It’s an undeniably deep emotional attachment that can’t be ignored by the politicians who are looking to address budget issues by cutting housing incentives in the tax code, such as the mortgage interest deduction.”

Americans also feel strongly about the financial benefits—and challenges—of homeownership.

Poll respondents said they considered owning a home their best investment, more than their retirement savings program or stock market investments. And 75 percent said that owning a home is worth facing the potential ups and downs of the housing market.

Meanwhile, non-owners identified saving enough money for a down payment and closing costs as the number one barrier keeping them from homeownership, more than job uncertainty or concerns that the value of their home may drop below the purchase price.

Yet exceedingly stringent mortgage lending requirements could make that barrier even tougher for the typical American family to overcome in the future. For example, according to estimates by both

“Lawmakers need to put themselves in the shoes of the average American, and see that excessive downpayment requirements and a reduction in housing tax incentives will keep homeownership out of reach for most first-time home buyers and many middle-class households.

This would be a fatal blow to the American Dream for many, many families.”

Neil Jenzen, VBA President NAHB and the Center for Responsible Lending, it would take more than 12 years for a typical family to save enough money for a 20 percent downpayment on a median-priced single-family home.

“Lawmakers need to put themselves in the shoes of the average American, and see that excessive downpayment requirements and a reduction in housing tax incentives will keep homeownership out of reach for most first-time home buyers and many middle-class households,” said Neil Jenzen, “This would be a fatal blow to the American Dream for many, many families.”

Pre-Qualify Your Home Remodeler Questions To Ask Your Potential Home Remodeler When you hire a professional home remodeler, you are buying a service rather than a product.

The quality of the service the home remodeler provides will determine the quality of the finished project and your satisfaction with it. Listed below are some qualifications you will want to explore and questions you will want to ask when you interview a home remodeler.

Business Experience And Management Does the home remodeler:

Maintain a permanent mailing address, a phone number, and a pager or answering system? You want to be able to reach the remodeler quickly and easily – especially at critical times.

Carry insurance that protects you from claims arising due to property damage or jobsite injuries?

Ask for a copy of the home remodeler’s insurance certificates so you can be sure that you are not liable for property damage or jobsite-related injuries.

You should also ask the home remodeler how much the project will add to your home’s value and then obtain the necessary additional insurance.

Have an established presence in the community?

How long has the home remodeling company been in business?

Longevity usually suggests financial stability.

Does the home remodeler maintain solid relationships with experienced independent trade contractors (such as plumbers and electricians) and work with them as a team to keep your job running smoothly?

Possess a trustworthy reputation among customers, peers, and those in the home remodeling industry?

Ask for a list of building materials suppliers and call them to 16 • Vikingland Builders Association 2011 Home Tour

see if the home remodeler has an account or pays for materials on delivery. Most suppliers are willing to extend credit to financially sound companies.

Does the home remodeler have a track record of successful projects similar to yours?

Participate in a trade organization such as the National Association of Home Builders Remodelors Council?

Membership reflects a home remodeler’s commitment to professionalism in the remodeling industry.

Carry a designation such as Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR), Certified Bath Designer (CBD), or Certified Kitchen Designer (CKD)?

Does the home remodeler have expertise and education in speciality projects, such as universal design or aging in place? Or green home remodeling? A qualified home remodeler may have been trained as a Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS) or Certified Green Professional.

Construction and Technical Expertise Does the home remodeler:

Have a working knowledge of the many types and ages of homes in the area? A sound structural and architectural knowledge of what is likely to be behind a wall or under a floor

helps the home remodeler provide reliable estimates.

Extremely low bids may reflect a remodeler’s lack of this knowledge and a poor understanding of the actual costs involved.

Know what products and materials would likely be used for your project?

Offer an array of options when selecting products, materials, and techniques?

Specialize in particular types of projects?

Arrange for the building permit? Remember that the person who obtains the permit is the contractor of record and therefore liable for the work.

Offer a warranty? If so, what kind and for how long? What is covered under the warranty and what is not?

Understand the scheduling issues required to begin and complete your job within your timetable?

Customer Service and Communication Does the home remodeler:

Respond promptly to your inquiries?

Emphasize customer service?

Listen to and understand your needs and wants?

When you discuss what you’d like to do, does the home remodeler show enthusiasm for your ideas and suggest ways to make them work within your budget?

You should ask the home remodeler for examples of how the company has solved home improvement challenges for other customers.

Facilitate and encourage communication? Ask how the home remodeler handles communication during construction (such as a message center in the house for you and the remodeling team).

With the answers to these questions, you’ll be able to pick the home remodeler that’s the best match for your home.
