Rent-to-own agreements REAL ESTATE 101
Most homeowners use a mortgage to finance the purchase of a new home. But for those who lack a good credit score or cash for a down payment, the traditional route to homeownership may be fraught with potholes. There may be a solution, however, with the right seller and the right property.
Rent-to-Own Agreements Rent-to-own agreements are where the buyer agrees to rent a home for a certain amount of time with the option to buy it before the lease expires, Investopedia says. They consist of two parts: The standard lease agreement and the option to buy. The buyer may also be required to pay the seller a one-time, usually non refundable fee called the option fee, option money or option consideration. This fee gives you the option to buy the house at some date in the future and usually ranges between 1% and 5% of the purchase price. Lease-Option vs. Lease-Purchase Lease-option contracts give you the right but not the obligation to buy the home when the lease expires. If, when the lease is up, you decide not to purchase, the option just expires and you can walk away from the property. With a lease-purchase agreement, you could be legally obligated to buy the home at the end of the lease, whether you can afford it at not. Investopedia recommends having a qualified real estate attorney review any agreement before you sign it. Agreeing on the Purchase Price Make sure any agreement specifies when and how the home’s purchase price is determined. The buyer and seller may agree on a price when the agreement is signed or the price may be determined when the lease expires. Some buyers may prefer to lock in a purchase price, especially in areas where the market is particularly hot. During the lease term, you’ll pay rent to a landlord. Your agreement will stipulate whether any of that applies to the eventual purchase price. If the rent does apply, look for that rent to be higher than the going rate for your area to make up for the rent credit you receive. The option money may also be applied to the eventual purchase price. Read your agreement thoroughly so that you understand what your obligations are. Home Maintenance Your agreement should also stipulate who is responsible for maintaining the property during the term of your agreement. Sellers may choose to cover costs they would generally be responsible for, Investopedia says, such as homeowners association fees, taxes and insurance. Sellers should get a renter’s insurance policy of their own and also make sure they know what maintenance and repair requirements are their responsibility. Some jobs that may be the buyer’s responsibility may include mowing the lawn, cleaning gutters and more. —HomeWise

Annual existing-home sales hit highest mark since 2006 Monthly sales drop 4.6% in December WASHINGTON — Existing-home sales declined in December, snapping a streak of three straight months of gains, according to the National Association of Realtors®. Each of the four major U.S. regions witnessed sales fall in December from both a monthover-month and a year-over-year basis. Despite the drop, overall sales for 2021 increased 8.5%. Total existing-home sales, https://www.nar.realtor/ existing-home-sales, completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, dropped 4.6% from November to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 6.18 million in December. From a year-over-year perspective, sales waned 7.1% (6.65 million in December 2020). "December saw sales retreat, but the pull back was more a sign of supply constraints than an indication of a weakened demand for housing," said Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist. "Sales for the entire year finished strong, reaching the highest annual level since 2006." Yun, however, does expect existing-home sales to slow slightly in the coming months due to higher mortgage rates, but noted that recent employment gains and stricter underwriting standards ensure home sales are in no danger of crashing. He forecasts rates to remain below 4% by year-end and wages to hold firm due to a tight labor market. "This year, consumers should prepare to endure some increases in mortgage rates," Yun cautioned. "I also expect home prices to grow more moderately by 3% to 5% in 2022, and then similarly in 2023 as more supply reaches the market." Total housing inventory at the end of December amounted to 910,000 units, down 18.0% from November and down 14.2% from one year ago (1.06 million). Unsold inventory sits at a 1.8-month supply
at the present sales pace, down from 2.1 months in November and from 1.9 months in December 2020. "We saw inventory numbers hit an all-time low in December," Yun said. "Home builders have already made strides in 2022 to increase supply, but reversing gaps like the ones we've seen recently will take years to correct." The median existing-home price for all housing types in December was $358,000, up 15.8% from December 2020 ($309,200), as prices rose in each region. The South witnessed the highest pace of appreciation. This marks 118 straight months of year-overyear increases, the longest-running streak on record. Properties typically remained on the market for 19 days in December, one day more than the 18 days seen in November, and down from 21 days in December 2020. Seventy-nine percent of homes sold in December 2021 were on the market for less than a month. First-time buyers were responsible for 30% of sales in December, up from 26% in November and down from 31% in December 2020. NAR's 2021 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers – released in late 2021 – reported that the annual share of first-time buyers was 34%. Individual investors or second-home buyers, who make up many cash sales, purchased 17% of homes in December, up from 15% in November and up from 14% in December 2020. All-cash sales accounted for 23% of transactions in December, down from 24% in November, and up from 19% from December 2020. Distressed sales – foreclosures and short sales – represented less than 1% of sales in December, equal to the percentage seen in both November 2021 and December 2020. —The National Association of Realtors

Appliance replacements REAL ESTATE 101
You may have noticed that many industries — including home construction and home appliances — are experiencing significant supply shortages. Consumer Reports said that pandemic-fueled supply chain disruptions are still affecting large appliances and, at the same time, consumer demand remains high.
“The new normal is fewer choices,” says Ken Miele CEO of the Appliance Dealers Cooperative. “We dealers can only sell what we have.” Waits of four to eight weeks for products are common, and some higher end items can take months. Manufacturers have kept lean workforces for decades, Consumer Reports says, and that mindset is catching up with them now as the COVID-19 pandemic pinches parts suppliers. Furthermore, there aren’t enough transportation workers to carry parts and even finished goods around the world. All of these factors formed the perfect storm to cripple the large appliance market. But that doesn’t mean that you still can’t get a deal. Consumer Reports says that while you may not be able to haggle on price, you might negotiate fees for delivery, installation and disposal, as well as with accessories such as hoses and electrical cords. “Our guys want the business, so they’re going to make sure the customers are happy,” Miele says. Independent dealers like the ones Miele represents can often match boxstore prices and can offer you perks like in-house service or a loaner machine while you wait for your new appliance, Consumer Reports says. Get on independent dealers’ waiting lists if you can, the magazine advises. “We’re getting a good supply of product. We’re just filling orders more slowly than before,” Miele says. Cooperative
buying groups like Miele’s put independent buyers on similar footing to large-volume sellers. If you do find discounts, they may not be as large as you’ve seen in the past. Fridge discounts, for example, are average around 12% where, in the past, discounts were 28% in 2019 and 14% last year. Gap Intelligence found that, among large retailers, Best Buy offered the most instant savings on ranges, with consumers seeing the most savings when they bought a bundle of several appliances at once. “Discounts may appear similar,” says Seth Barham, managing director at Wedbush Securities and an industry analyst who covers appliance retailers,” but base pricing or other factors will likely make the products more expensive compared with last year. Consumer Reports suggests using online tools to research, including retailers’ online filters to narrow your appliance search. Prioritize your needs and be ready to be flexible with features. More niche items, such as specialty finishes, Consumer Reports market analyst Nish Suvarnakar says, are manufactured in smaller batches and may not be available. To get a model today, Consumer Reports suggests looking at floor models with some cosmetic flaws. You may also score a better price, too. Remember, though, that open box deals may be missing nonessential parts that you’ll need to replace it of your pocket. —HomeWise
