FROM THE EDITOR

IT’S SHOWTIME

IN NEW ENGLAND With winter well entrenched and the holidays now behind us, we begin a New Year with a fresh pallet for new ideas and plans for the year ahead. At this time of year, the weather in the northeast limits us in many ways as outdoor living moves indoors. It is this time that we all immerse ourselves in plans for making our homes an individual expression of who we are and how we want to live.

There is something about sitting by a warm fire and imagining that a new kitchen, bath or new addition just seems right.

Today information technology allows us to visually review thousands of possibilities for home improvement and designs. We can tour virtual kitchens & baths and review color schemes, designs and unlimited options for our home improvement projects. Unfortunately, that same technology does not allow us to touch or examine the product. While online shopping may be perfect for many things, home improvement projects are not one of them.

Each year from February through April, New England Home Shows, the producers of the biggest and best home shows in the region since 1950 brings us “Showtime”. Five great shows and five great reasons to get off the couch and take the family for a day of fun in Boston, Foxboro, Marlboro, Topsfield, or Lincoln (RI). There’s plenty to see and do for everyone in your family, but most importantly an opportunity to see and talk with the experts that can make your next home improvement project a success. Let me think, do I want to spend days and days driving around from town to town to visit home improvement businesses for my next home project? Or, do I visit New England’s most comprehensive Home Show marketplace all under one roof where they come to meet me! It’s a no-brainer. So join us at a New England Home Show near you in 2019.

con When Norm Stowell built his first set of cabinets in his garage in 1978, he never imagined he was creating a company that would grow to be a nationally recognized custom cabinetmaker. He would tell you he wasn’t really trying to start anything.

He was just doing what he knew best.

Working with his hands. He would also tell you his goal was to contribute to the household finances so he and his wife Deanna could feed and clothe their seven kids.

CUSTOM

The truth is Norm didn’t realize that his approach to cabinetmaking would create more work than he could ever imagine.

He built quality because that is what his Dad taught him. He kept his promises to his clients because his word was the foundation of his character. And if there was ever an issue, he was quick to make sure his customer was happy with the outcome. Those were the pillars of his success.

Fast forward to 2019. Crown Point, now a proud second-generation family business, is still handcrafting beautiful custom cabinetry that will be enjoyed for generations.

cabinetry

If you are looking for furniture-quality cabinetry, Crown Point Cabinetry has the styles, the details and the oven baked finishes for your special project. Available direct from the cabinetmaker. Call and speak to one of their in-house designers.

Make an appointment to visit their spectacular showroom and to get a tour of their amazing 100,000 square foot shop.

Crown Point Cabinetry has always been known to craft the finest quality custom cabinetry. This reputation has allowed them to be found in some of the nicest homes in America.

CUSTOM

With the introduction of Crown Select, they continue this tradition by providing the same hand-selected materials, the same craftsmanship of their dedicated artisans and the same oven baked finish. All in a more cost-effective line.

How do they build such beautiful custom cabinetry for less? First, they limit the endless spectrum of customization to allow for a more efficient cabinetmaking process. While still providing clients with the most desirable styles, finishes, details and options. Second, they value engineer the cabinetry to allow clients to invest their dollars where they matter the most. And, as in their Crown Point line, they only sell direct. This allows clients to acquire custom inset cabinetry at a budget-friendly price.

Top Trends for Kitchen & Baths in 2019 Color, Textures, and Lighting Abound

Kitchen and bath design trends have traditionally embraced conservative styles and textures for the two most used rooms in our homes. In the kitchen natural wood tones, natural colors, white, black, and stainless steel appliances have pretty much dominated the market. In most bath remodels and new home designs, white and off-white represent most of the offerings.

This year a number of new trends are being

for oven doors. There are now options for all kitchen appliances in a rainbow of color schemes and new design styles that offer a vast array of choices.

In addition to color, textures have made their way into flooring surfaces, countertops and backsplash areas. The new textures and styles are using ceramics, stone, wood, and glass to create new exciting tones and surfaces. Flooring systems are now offering tile created to look like wood that offers very durable maintenance-free surfaces. Even colored and textured concrete is now available for countertops and flooring with unlimited stamping and design options. Textured surfaces, countertops, and wall systems provide a stark contrast to traditional smooth shiny surfaces.

Lighting in both kitchen and baths is changing the feel and expression of these living spaces and focuses more on highlighting design styles and overall function. Recessed, under and over the counter lighting, and cabinet lighting in both kitchens and baths provide more direct lighting solutions to working spaces and soft efficient night lighting effects.

New designs in fixtures, bulbs, and motion activity sensors also mean cleaner more cost-effective energy solutions for homeowners.

improvement projects done by homeowners each year. Both remodels can represent a substantial return on investment to the homeowner by increasing a home’s value, improving the marketability of the home, and most importantly improving the living experience. On average the typical return on investment is 100% for kitchen improvements and 120% for bathroom renovations. Both increase a home’s chances of a quick sale and represent a major selling feature to potential buyers.

The kitchen, known as the heart and soul of the home, is one of the most important rooms in any house and is of keen interest to potential buyers. A clean, well-designed, properly installed kitchen with modern appliances and quality elements can set the potential buyer’s perception of the home. In the buyer’s eyes, “a quality kitchen is a quality home”. Realtors know an impressive kitchen can sell a house quicker than nearly any other aspect of the home.

Countertops Get beyond the brand names and your countertop options

really just come down to a handful of materials. Here’s a look at a few of the most popular. Kitchen & bath countertops are the centerpiece of the room. If it’s time for a remodel, keep in mind countertops should be practical, as well as, aesthetically pleasing, and they should complement and enhance the overall style of the room.

Granite This is probably the most popular among kitchen countertops. The primary advantage, outstanding durability, potential drawback is staining that occurs with cheaper grades that have not been sealed properly. Cost range from $50-$60 per square foot.

Quartz These countertops are also known as “engineered stone” and they consist of 90-93% natural Quartz along with a resin mixture. Quartz has outstanding durability and superior beauty consistent with high-end kitchens and baths. Average cost $75 per square foot.

Marble Countertops This style is simply timeless and always seems to be in style. Marble is extremely durable and has been used for centuries. However, marble stone is softer than granite and can scratch and stain easily. The average cost of Marble is $60 per square foot.

Concrete Countertops This is one of the newest types of countertops offered. Concrete is very durable, hard and not easily chipped. You can create a one-of-a-kind countertop by adding pigments, stains and dyes to the concrete.

Average cost around $100-$150 per square foot.

Wood Kitchen Counters Butcher block can create a stunning, long-lasting countertop. After years of use, the countertops can be sanded and resealed, making them look new again. Depending upon the type of wood, prices range from $30-$85 per square foot.

Corian, Cambria or Swanstone These are manufactured composite countertops that are very hard and durable. The surface is solid, tough and non-porous, making them very easy to clean and maintain. Cost is around $42-$65 per square foot installed

Flooring Your floors are usually the first surfaces to reflect wear–they take the brunt of your everyday activities. As such it’s important to invest in the best floors which will keep pace with your daily life and add value while, at the same time, adding a touch of class to your home. The all carpet home and all hardwood home have given way to more diverse choices that focus on function and style. Today a home may have as many as 3-4 different types of flooring materials.

Hardwood Flooring creates a warm décor and is a classic. It is a great insulator that retains heat, it’s easy to clean and maintain and offers a wide variety of color and textures. Cost from $25.00 per square foot installed.

Engineered Wood is real wood flooring that’s built in layers and bonded together, whereas, hardwoods are solid. Unlike hardwood, it is resistant to changes in temperatures and humidity. Cost from $10.00 per square foot installed.

Porcelain & Tile flooring combines the beauty and hardness of stone, but costs considerably less and is much easier to maintain than marble. Glazed porcelain tile is also durable enough to handle heavy traffic. Cost from $12.00 per square foot installed.

Marble Flooring makes an elegant foyer and comes in a wide range of colors and variations. Marble must be sealed and cleaned regularly with a product specially designed for marble. Cost from $15.00 per square foot installed Laminate Flooring, also called a “floating floor,” imitates wood flooring and is one of the cheapest flooring types available. It is easy to maintain and it is an excellent solution for high traffic areas. Cost from $7.00 per square foot installed Concrete Flooring holds up like no other flooring. With the wide range of sealers and specialty stains, plain and gray concrete can be stamped and stained to any look and is great for radiant heat. Cost from $5.00 per square foot installed.

Owner’s Title Insurance:

Protecting Against Existing Defects

By Lima Law Offices

Purchasing a home is among the biggest investments that a person will make in their lifetime. After spending months searching for the perfect location, possibly signing a mortgage for a significant amount of money, and starting a life in a new home, homeowners can agree that they have committed a lot to their property. Protecting an investment of this size is intuitive. Homeowners insurance is required with most mortgages, and special insurances like flood or windstorm are a given in certain areas. We know that we need to protect our home against things to come, but what about things that have already happened? This is where Owner’s Title Insurance comes into play.

Your Mortgage

BY Peter DeFusco

Annual Mortgage Review is Good for You and Your Financial Health Think of your annual mortgage review as an annual checkup for your financial health. To stay healthy, you pay your doctor a visit once a year. While you’re there, he or she does an overall physical to make sure you’re in working order.

They also run labs to take a closer look at what’s going on behind the scenes.

A mortgage review works the same way for you and your home.

REAL ESTATE

[38]

NEHOMELIFE.COM

What’s a Mortgage Review?

A mortgage review is exactly what it sounds like. Our mortgage experts will work with you to look over your monthly payment in detail. We will review your credit, mortgage insurance and your income. Based on those factors, and whether or not it’s beneficial, we’ll discuss the options available to provide you a healthier and more financially sound mortgage to meet your family’s needs.

Shorten Your Term

Let’s say you’re paying $1000 a month at 5.6% and you have 15 years left on your mortgage. What if you could pay the same amount in mortgage payments, lower your interest rate and cut years off the remainder of your term. Shortening the term of your mortgage can get you closer to living life without a mortgage payment that much quicker.

Equity Cash Out

If you have more than 20% equity in your home, you might be a good candidate for a cash out loan. If you have a child going to college, a wedding to pay for, you want to update your home, or even if you want to pay off high-interest credit cards, the equity cash out option is a great way to get a low interest loan to pay off expenses.

REAL REAL ESTATE ESTATE

Mortgage Insurance

For years, you could have been paying for mortgage insurance not knowing it is no longer required because of your earned equity in your home over time. Through a current appraisal you may learn that your property value increased enough to move the loan-tovalue ratio below 80%. This would eliminate your PMI insurance often saving hundreds of dollars in your payment monthly.

Stay on Top of It All

Your health is one of the most important things you can manage. And, with the help of a doctor, it can be one of the easiest. They can help you stay on track for a healthy lifestyle, and if you’ve got any issues, they can help remedy them. They want to see you succeed and live a long and healthy life. The same is true for your mortgage, it should be checked on a yearly basis. Your mortgage is your largest monthly expense, don’t overlook the importance of its yearly checkup.

Single women are a driving force in the housing market and buying homes at twice the rate of single men, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Single women accounted for 18 percent of all home purchases last year compared with just 7 percent by single men, according to survey data from the National Association of Realtors.

This makes single women the second-largest segment in the home-purchase marketplace, behind married couples.

Citing data from the most recent U.S. Census Current Population Survey, which covered 60,000 households, Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist for consulting firm Veritas Urbis Economics, found that the share of home purchases

by single women in 2017 — including never-married individuals, widows and divorcées — hit 22.8 percent, the highest on record.

According to its 2018 report “Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends,” the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR) found that single women account for the second-largest group of home buyers, behind married couples.

There’s not really a concrete explanation for why such a wide gap exists between men and women or why men don’t seem to be as interested in participating in the housing market. NAR’s 2017 “Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers” survey credits better job prospects, higher incomes and improving credit conditions as reasons for why.

The interest rate market is hard to forecast and even harder to time. Some say it is even more difficult to predict than the stock market. There are a host of factors that control interest rates beside the discount rate from the Federal Reserve, with is the rate banks & financial firms pay to borrow money. The current 2.25% rate is expected to rise in 2019 to 2.5%. Consumer mortgage rates are normally 2 times the discounted Federal Reserve rate.

The interest rate you pay on your home mortgage has a direct impact on your monthly payment. The higher the rate, the greater the payment will be. That is why it is important to know where rates are headed when deciding to start your home search.

Below is a chart reflecting the mortgage rates over a 48-year period from 19712018. What is remarkable about this chart is that during a 20-year period from 1971 through 1991, rates

fluctuated from 10% - 18%.

In 1991 a 100,000 mortgage for 25-years at 18%, cost borrowers $1500.00 a month. At today’s rates that same mortgage is just $539.00 a month. It is amazing that anyone could afford to buy a home in the early 90’s with the average home price at $200,000 in Massachusetts. A $200,000 home with a 20% down payment, carried a $2500.00 a month mortgage payment. With median after tax household income in Massachusetts in 1991 of less than $40,000, almost no one qualified for a home refinance or purchase.

Interest rates are still at the lowest levels in history.

You can still get a better interest rate than your older brother or sister did ten years ago, a lower rate than your parents did twenty years ago, and a better rate than your grandparents did fifty years ago.

Let’s take a look at a historical view of interest rates over the last 45 years.

The list of Cities Paying People to Move There Continues to Grow Some of America’s cities have taken on a new angle getting paid to live there!

While many cities offer companies everything from tax incentives to free property to move their business there, there’s a new trend catching fire that offers workers cash and perks to move themselves and their skill sets to these cities as well.

Baltimore is rolling out all the red carpet with Its “Buying into Baltimore Program” offering first-time homebuyers $5,000 toward buying a home. Add to that, its Live “Near Your Work Program”, they are offering grants capping out at $5,000 that can be used toward down payments and closing assistance. And if you’re handy, Baltimore’s “Vacant to Value Program” will give you $10,000 to move in and rehab one of the city’s vacant houses.

Other locales willing to pony up for relocaters include the

states of Washington, Alaska, Kansas, and Maine, as well as metros like New Haven, Connecticut. Even rural America is getting in the game. Small towns like Curtis, Nebraska, and Marne, Iowa will give you

a free lot of land to build on if you’ll move there. Tribune, Kansas, for example, offers to pay down student debt in exchange for moving there.

Why Florida is Still the Top State For Retirees

By NEHL Staff

The weather is Spectacular for 6+ months of the year Let’s face it, Florida is one of the only places in the continental US that has great weather all winter long.

For that matter, it is great in the spring and the fall as well. If you are the outdoor type or just like sunny warm weather, then 9 months out the year Florida is the place for you.

Florida Doesn’t Collect an Individual Income Tax Florida is one of only seven states that don’t collect an individual income tax.

The other six are Alaska, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. Moving to Florida

#FairwaysLifestyles

from the Northeast can save you thousands of dollars in taxes each year.

Florida Doesn’t Collect a Death Tax Florida used to collect a state estate tax in the form of a “pick-up tax,” but changes in federal law phased it out in 2005. Many states took steps to keep the state death tax revenues flowing, a process known as “decoupling”, but not Florida. The state’s constitution also prohibits the imposition of a state death tax.

Florida Offers Many Asset Protection Benefits You shouldn’t have to worry about losing your

assets to a creditor or in a lawsuit if you live in Florida. The state offers many asset protection benefits including: Homestead creditor protection, tenancy by the entirety for real property as well as personal property, protection of the cash value of life insurance and protection for IRAs and annuities.

Florida Offers Property Tax Benefits for Primary Residences You’ll also receive property tax breaks if you buy a home in Florida and declare that it’s your primary “homestead” residence. First, you’ll receive an exemption for the first $50,000 of your home’s

[56]

value for property tax purposes, except for school district taxes which only receive a $25,000 exemption.

Florida Is Home to Top Wealth Strategists Florida is such an attractive state for the wealthy to call home that it’s also home to many top wealth strategists, tax advisors, and estate planning attorneys. These advisors are creative and proactive in assisting their clients with growing wealth, minimizing taxes, avoiding probate, keeping clients’ final wishes private, and creating an ongoing legacy.

CAPO RESTAURANT 443 W Broadway, South Boston

GRILL 23 & BAR 161 Berkeley St., Boston

Capo is a rustic neighborhood gathering place that serves fine Italian food and spirits in an energetic and comfortably classic setting. Their cozy, open concept kitchen offers a carefully crafted menu consisting of fresh house-made pastas, smokey woodfired pizzas, and a wide selection of classic Italian dishes. Capo also offers a “Supper Club” which offers dinner and a show on Sundays & Mondays.

Within walking distance of the State House, Emmets is one of the most authentic Irish pubs in Boston, serving up true Irish fare, a perfectly poured pint of Guinness and an experience to remember! Emmets is the ideal spot to bring friends, family or your better half for an original Irish pub experience. We suggest the Guinness Beef Strew!

Yes, you have your waiters in white jackets, towers of fresh seafood, and a top-notch wine list, but no one in town cooks a better steak than Grill 23. It’s salty, crusty, buttery—an unmistakable carnivore’s delight. If the 10-ounce American Kobe cap seems a tad too small, the 18-ounce 100-day-aged prime rib-eye will be more than happy to oblige.

BOSTON GENERL STORE 305 Harvard St., Brookline

STAPLETON FLORAL DESIGN 200 Seaport Blvd., Boston, MA

Opened three years ago, the Boston General Store is bringing back the type of shop the owner April remembers from her childhood: one that sells simple items made to last. Pass along the nostalgia with high-quality, well-made gifts crafted by artisans both near and far—think pocket knives from Japan, a wool picnic blanket from the U.K., and shave oil made in New England.

Everyone loves flowers! Stapleton Floral has been a family tradition in Boston and the surrounding areas for over 25 years. Their team of floral designers work very closely together to provide exceptional service with inventory shipped directly from the growers, insuring freshness and selection. Located conveniently near the Boston Flower Exchange, which enables any last minute special requests or needs.
