Lori Borgman: Nothing personal, but just fix the tub

By Lori Borgman Tribune News Service (TNS)

We’ve had a lot of home repairs lately. Our house is a lot like we are, slowly aging and in need of occasional patchwork.

We are grateful that we are not aging alone, that we are accompanied on this journey by our unpredictable furnace, faltering air conditioner and 60-year-old pipes with lime and calcium buildup.

What’s ironic is that the service companies always want us to buy a “membership” that guarantees a service call without the gigantic service call fee for 12 months -- all of which sounds remarkably like our Medicare Advantage plan.

In any case, we needed a plumber to rip out plumbing in a bathtub not long ago and before he arrived I received a text saying, “Your technician is on the way. Mason is married, has two kids and enjoys the outdoors and hunting.”

That was nice they told us a bit about the plumber, but then I wondered if they sent the info so

we could vet him. You know, make sure he was legit and not some unscrupulous impostor working his way into the house to see if we had any old VHS tapes or landline phones he could steal and sell online.

I contemplated how I could chitchat with Mason, or whoever he was, to verify his identity. When a plumber comes to the door, puts on the paper footies and walks in, do you hit him with: “How is the wife?

School going well for the kids? Did you get a deer this fall? What is your favorite state park?”

I can, will, and often do, talk to just about anybody, but even for me this seemed invasive.

But wait -- would Mason expect personal info from me to verify my identity?

Did I need to go into my marital status?

If I started talking about our family -- the kids, their spouses, all 11 immensely talented grandkids -- Mason could be here for dinner.

“We’re out of venison, but do you like smothered pork chops, Mason?”

Sometimes it feels like you’re not just getting a contractor, you’re getting a relationship. (Dreamstime/TNS).

It dawned on me that I wasn’t just getting a contractor, I was getting a relationship. I didn’t want a relationship. I wanted a plumber.

One who would be quick, neat and know what he was doing.

Turns out Mason was just that.

I was glad I had not probed the personal information the company sent in advance. Although, when he

left I did yell out, “Give our best to the wife and kids, Mason!”

We will ask for him by name next time.

Are more Coloradans throwing in the towel on owning a home?

By Aldo Svaldi The Denver Post (TNS)

DENVER – Colorado suffered the biggest drop in its homeownership rate of any state last year, according to counts from the U.S. Census Bureau. But economists and demographers in the state aren’t buying it.

The homeownership rate, a measure of how many households own the place where they live versus renting it, was 69.7% during the fourth quarter of 2022. It moved up to 70.2% in the second quarter of 2023 before plunging to 62.7% in the fourth quarter.

No other state came close to matching that 7 percentage point decline last year. South Dakota dropped 4.2 percentage points, while New Jersey dropped 4 percentage points. Across all states, the average change was a decline of 0.4 percentage points, with 27 states seeing a drop in their homeownership rates and 23 seeing a gain.

Colorado had an estimated 2,278,044 households in the middle of last year, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. If that drop in Colorado’s homeownership rate is correct, then about 160,00 households switched from owning to renting last year, a dramatic move.

Zoocasa, a property technology firm, looked at homeownership rates over a longer period, from the end of 2018 to 2023. Nationally the rate rose from 64.8% to 65.7%, despite a 50% jump in median home prices. Colorado, by contrast, had the second biggest drop in its ownership rate after Utah, going from 66.3% to 62.7%.

“During the pandemic, an influx of remote workers moved to Colorado. While the population has grown, many of these young professionals aren’t ready to make a major real estate investment. With interest rates high and inventory still low, many short-term and permanent Colorado residents are choosing to rent for the time being,” said Patti Cosgarea, a director of content marketing at Zoocasa, in an email offering a possible explanation for why more households might be renting.

Construction is ongoing at the Sterling Ranch development in Littleton on Wednesday, Jan. 17, 2024.

Sterling Ranch is Colorado’s largest active master planned community, with 432 homes sold in 2023.

An index from Florida Atlantic University places metro Denver clearly in the camp of overpriced housing markets where it makes more sense financially to rent than to own. Owning a comparable space comes at a 23.7% cost premium to renting, supporting Cosgarea’s argument.

But the Zoocasa ranking includes the suspect 62.7% ownership rate reported in the fourth quarter.

Did that many people give up on owning and should policymakers, not to mention real estate brokers and homebuilders, be freaking out?

“Yeah, I really don’t believe that occurred,” said Brian Lewandowski, executive director of the Business Research Division at University of Colorado Boulder’s Leeds School of Business.

For starters, big shifts in homeownership take years to develop, not six months. If a bunch of older residents have cashed out of their homes and relocated to other states, and they are being replaced by a bunch of young renters moving in, that would show up gradually in the numbers.

Colorado’s domestic migration numbers haven’t looked particularly robust since the pandemic, and last year was no exception. Nor are there signs of housing market distress like in the late ’00s, when the homeownership rate fell from 72.1% in early 2005 to 59.4% in early 2015. Defaults and foreclosures pushed thousands of households back into renting.

A likely explanation is statistical, given that the ownership rate relies on a fairly small sample of households. Samples come with a margin of error, or a range within which a number might be correct with a 90% level of confidence.

Last quarter had a margin of error of 3.8, meaning Colorado’s ownership rate could have fallen in a range of between 58.9% to 66.5%. The fourth quarter of 2022, which was at 69.7%, had a margin of error of 3.6, putting it in a range of between 66.1% to 73.3%.

“If we use simple subtraction and addition, the estimates overlap and are not statistically significantly different from one another,” said

Cindy DeGroen, a projections demographer with the State Demography Office.

The change may seem large on paper, but it is allowable statistically speaking. Her advice is to go with annual averages or wait for data from a few more quarters to see if homeownership rates in the state are trending lower.

The annual homeownership rate for 2023 was 67.2%, which was down from 67.4% in 2022, said Greg Totten, an economist at the Colorado Demography Office. That change was one of the smallest in recent years.

The higher ownership rates also seem more suspect than the lower ones, especially the 70.2% rate reported in the second quarter. The last time Colorado had a rate that high was in early 2008 at the tail end of a housing boom fueled by easy credit.

But all the statistical reckoning isn’t to say that Colorado doesn’t face downward pressures on homeownership, chief among them CONTINUED – See Page 21

What is PMI and how do I get rid of it?

PMI is one of those things in life that is both a curse and a blessing.

Without it, cashpoor homebuyers can’t get a loan.

With it, your payments are ROB higher, it takes a PROCTOR long time to get rid of (with some loans it never goes away) and it only protects the lender.

PMI is short for “private

mortgage insurance.” If you have an FHA-backed loan it’s called MIP for “mortgage insurance premium.”

Borrowers who put down less than 20 percent of the loan amount when they take out a conventional loan are required to pay a monthly mortgage insurance premium to cover the lender in the event they mess up and default on the loan.

Mortgage Insurance and the FHA Loan

Borrowers who were granted an FHA-backed loan before June 3, 2013, can get rid of this monthly

headache when the loan reaches a 78 percent loan-to-value ratio for a 15year loan. If you have a 30-year loan you’ll need to wait until your LTV reaches 78 percent AND you’ve been paying the premium for a minimum of 60 months, which is governmentspeak for five years.

Pity the buyer that gets an FHAbacked loan today. They’ve changed their rules so that as of June 2013, a borrower that puts down 10 percent on a home must wait 11 years to have the MIP requirement terminated. If you pay less than 10 percent down – which is the beauty of the FHA loan, after all – you must continue to pay MIP for the life of the loan.

Conventional Loans and PMI

The Homeowner’s Protection Act of 1998 states that homeowners who have a conventional loan on their primary residence, purchased after July 29, 1999, can request a cancellation of PMI once they have 20 percent equity in the home.

The same law says that the lender

must automatically terminate PMI on the date that the loan is scheduled to reach a 78 percent loan-to-value ratio – not based on payments made – but according to the date the loan should reach this milestone, as listed on the initial amortization schedule.

The law gives borrowers another way to realize relief from PMI by stating that the lender has to release you from the requirement when you are at the midpoint of your loan’s amortization schedule, regardless of your LTV. While low-down-payment home loans are a blessing for cash-strapped but credit-worthy borrowers, they come with a price.

REAL ESTATE

Selling your house before spring

Inventory remains low, but new listings have steadily risen for the past 12 weeks — up 7% compared to last year, reports Realtor.com.

Key insights from Realtor.com that outline techniques for selling your home before the spring rush If selling your home tops your to-do list, now may be a good time to take action before the spring and summer real estate season begins in a TOM short 60 days.

KALINSKI The current real estate landscape offers more favorable conditions for sellers than in the past 18 months.

Homes that hit the market now may benefit from less competition.

In 2023, high-interest rates caused many potential home buyers to put their plans on hold. With rates for a 30-year fixed mortgage hitting a 23-year high of 7.79% in late October 2023, fewer people entered the market, resulting in a shortage of available homes for sale. Sellers were reluctant to give up their lowinterest-rates mortgages — especially with few homes on the market to choose from — resulting in a logjam of buying and selling activity.

But significant shifts occurred with the transition from 2023 to 2024 and opportunities for selling and buying have begun to open.

In the plus column, mortgage rates

have moved slightly downward, with rates for a 30-year fixed-rate home loan averaging 6.60% for the week ending Jan. 18 — a low not seen since last spring, according to Freddie Mac. This decline has spurred an increase in mortgage applications, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association, signaling renewed interest from buyers.

Inventory remains low, but new listings have steadily risen for the past 12 weeks — up 7% compared to last year, reports Realtor.com.

Lower mortgage rates and reduced competition from other buyers create a favorable environment for sellers to make their move. These evolving market conditions have resulted in changing buyer behavior, shifting the dynamics of home selling. It’s critical to rely on your local real estate experts to fully understand the market conditions in your local area.

Here are some key insights from Realtor.com that outline techniques for selling your home before the spring rush.

Eye opener No. 1: more buyers are in the market and bidding wars are returning. While mortgage rates haven’t dropped significantly, they’ve decreased enough to attract

more buyers. With inventory still low, competition is intensifying and competitive bidding has begun to emerge once again.

Even so, making your home stand out in today’s market is essential.

While extensive renovations may not be necessary, updates to enhance the overall appeal of your home are crucial. Refreshing landscaping, upgrading flooring, and replacing light fixtures can significantly impact buyer perception.

Homes for sale across much of Colorado may have experienced little price-cutting, but some home sellers nationwide resorted to lowering their asking price as their home sat on the market for longer than expected. In today’s housing market, patience can bring better results. Instead of reducing prices prematurely, sellers should be prepared to negotiate and hold firm on their asking price, especially with increased buyer interest in the market.

Negotiation in home selling is back and in a good way. With more buyers vying for available homes, sellers can feel more confident in making a counteroffer if an initial bid falls below expectations.

Finally, with more homes coming on the market, sellers no longer

need to fear being unable to find their next home. Lower mortgage rates and reduced competition from other buyers have put home sellers and buyers in a better place. Interest rates are lower, but there’s currently not as much competition from other buyers.

REALTOR FOR LIFE

Evolution of broker agency and commissions in a real estate transaction, Part 2

By Duane Duggan Contributing editor: Matthew S. Finberg, Esq.

In Part 1 of this two-part series, I discussed the history and evolution of seller agencies, buyer agencies and commissions in real estate.

DUANE The Division DUGGAN of Real Estate in Colorado wants the public to have a clear understanding of agency relationships in real estate transactions. To that end, a Definitions of Working Relationships form was developed, shown below, that clearly explains the different types of agency relationships.

Definitions of Working Relationships Seller Listing Agreement Compensation Section

In Colorado, we have some of the best Standard Forms for buying and selling homes, in the country.

The Compensation section of the Contract, clearly explains what the

Like a listing contract, where the Seller employs the Realtor, the Buyer Agency contract, creates an agreement where the Buyer employs the Realtor to represent.

fee is, when it is paid, and how it is divided up. This is stated in the Colorado Seller Listing Agreement.

Buyer Agency Contract Compensation Section

Like a listing contract, where the Seller employs the Realtor, the Buyer Agency contract, creates an agreement where the Buyer employs the Realtor to represent. Again, there is a whole paragraph clearly explaining how, why and when the

Realtor gets paid.

Not only did the agency evolve in real estate transactions in 1994, but one year later the arrival of the internet (circa 1995) simplified and accelerated everything. We, in the industry, wondered (worried) could the broker go the way of the travel agent. Now, almost 30 years later, the broker is still here, working with sellers and buyers. Brokers help with the biggest transaction of most people’s lives: the purchase and sale of their home. Buyers and sellers want a trusted advisor.

Today, the world is instantaneous.

Once a broker has all the information collected about a property, with the push of a button, he or she sends out the information to the entire globe. Once the information is in the digital marketplace, transactions happen very fast. Digital transaction management systems, standard fillin-the-blank contracts, and electronic signatures accelerate the process.

Almost too fast, as the click-to-sign process often causes a lack of review of the contract details.

The Future

The Definitions of Working Relationships form clearly explains the different types of agency relationships.

In Colorado, we are lucky that the standard forms and disclosures we already use have created an excellent platform for transparency about compensation — and who represents whom. If there are any necessary changes to our standard forms, the

Colorado Division of Real Estate will make adjustments to those forms, or a Colorado-licensed attorney may do so on a transaction-by-transaction basis.

The current system allows sellers to expose their property to the greatest number of buyers. Through the Multiple Listing System (MLS), buyers have access to the majority of available listings from which to choose. The current nature of the relationship between sellers, buyers, and their brokers will likely have a few modifications as the real estate business continues to evolve, including how real estate brokers are compensated. Commissions to be paid by sellers and buyers to brokers involved in their transactions will continue to be as negotiable as the parties are creative in entering into a deal, which feels fair to all involved.

Duane graduated with a business degree and a major in real estate from the University of Colorado in 1978. He has been a Realtor® in Boulder since that time. He joined RE/MAX of Boulder in 1982 and has facilitated over 2,500 transactions over his career. Living the life of a Realtor and being immersed in real estate led to the inception of his book, Realtor for Life.

RETIRE RIGHT

Does a Reverse Mortgage impact Medicare, Medicaid or Social Security benefits?

A very common question from homeowners is, will Medicare or Medicaid be impacted if I get a reverse mortgage?

GABE What about BODNER Social Security income?

To begin with, it is important to note that a reverse mortgage is considered a loan and not income. Therefore, any money that you get from a reverse mortgage is free of income taxes. Regardless of how you receive money from a reverse mortgage, which can be a lump sum of money, a monthly payment plan, or a line of credit (LOC). You are again not required to pay income taxes on the money you get from the reverse mortgage.

So, let’s first take a look at Medicare. Medicare is a federal health insurance program for people aged 65 and older and some younger people with disabilities. Medicare is an entitlement program and is not income-based. Therefore, Medicare is generally not impacted by a reverse mortgage.

As for Medicaid eligibility, having a reverse mortgage also does not affect Medicaid

in terms of income guidelines because the funds from a reverse mortgage are once again not considered income. However, the funds received from a reverse mortgage can potentially affect Medicaid qualification in terms of assets. Medicaid eligibility can be impacted by a reverse mortgage, particularly if the borrower receives a lump sum payment from the reverse mortgage. Medicaid is a means-tested program, meaning eligibility is based on financial need. Receiving a lump sum payment could temporarily increase the homeowner’s assets, which again could potentially affect Medicaid eligibility.

However, if the homeowner uses the reverse mortgage proceeds to cover specific expenses, such as home modifications for aging in place or medical bills, those expenditures may not count as assets for Medicaid purposes.

It’s critical for individuals considering a reverse mortgage and relying on Medicaid to consult with a financial advisor or elder law attorney to understand how the reverse mortgage may impact their Medicaid eligibility and benefits.

Additionally, if a reverse mortgage borrower needs longterm care services covered by Medicaid, the loan could impact their eligibility or impact how

http://athomecolorado.com/patrickdolan

the benefits are calculated.

Lastly, let’s look at Social Security income. Social Security benefits are based on your work history and earnings.

Once again, because money from a reverse mortgage is not considered income, social security income is not impacted by a reverse mortgage.

However, if you’re receiving Supplemental Security Income (SSI), which is a needs-based program for low-income individuals who are elderly or disabled, a lump sum payment from a reverse mortgage could potentially affect your eligibility.

SSI has strict income and asset limits, and receiving a lump sum payment may temporarily increase your assets, impacting your SSI eligibility or benefits.

Every situation is unique,

and it is critical you investigate your specific situation and consult the proper professional.

It’s essential to consult with a financial advisor or elder law attorney to understand the potential implications of a reverse mortgage if you are on Medicaid or looking to apply for Medicaid in the future or if you receive SSI or other meanstested benefits.

Owning a home (continued) a lack of affordability.

In the fourth quarter, just 23.9% of homes sold in metro Denver were affordable to families earning the area median income, according to the Housing Opportunity Index published by the National Association of Home Builders and Wells Fargo.

Denver ranked 168th out of 241 metro areas tracked by the index and Boulder was right behind it at 169th. Colorado Springs was even less affordable given the incomes available in that region at 21.1%, which ranked 189th.

Greeley and Weld County, according to the index, aren’t a bastion of affordability as commonly perceived. Only 18.4% of homes sold were affordable to households earning the median income in that county, ranking 200th. That could be a sign that builders in that county are targeting people earning Boulderand Denver-level incomes more than they are those earning Weld County-level wages.

Pueblo was the most affordable metro in the state with 49.4% of homes, nearly half, affordable to a household at the median income.

Even then, Pueblo managed to rank only 88th nationally.

Higher incomes left Denver and Boulder faring better than other metro areas in the state. However, the deterioration in housing affordability has been dramatic.

Back in the first quarter of 2014, nearly seven in 10 homes sold were affordable to households earning a typical income in metro Denver.

Now it is below one in four.

All that creates intense competition for homes affordable to those making the typical income.

Much of the transition from renter to owner happens in the lowerpriced tier of the market popular with first-time buyers.

The 2024 Aspiring Homeowner Study, put out by This Old House, looks at where a first-time buyer has the best shot of getting into a home. Denver ranked 101st out of 148 metro areas studied.

RODWIN ARCHITECTURE

SKYCASTLE CONSTRUCTION

But surprisingly, it ranked sixth in the country in terms of the share of owning households in the age range of 25 to 44. That younger demographic owned nearly four in 10 homes, indicating both a younger population and a determined one.

Redfin, a Seattle-based real estate brokerage, notes that investors are also going hard after that entry-level home, accounting for 26.1% of purchases in that tier in the fourth quarter nationally. By contrast, investors bought only 13.6% of mid-priced homes and 15.9% of high-priced homes.

In the aggregate, they bought 18.5% of all homes that sold in the fourth quarter in the U.S. In metro Denver, that share was a little lower at 15.9%.

Investors for years have been betting big on a shift from owning to renting, and they may be forcing that decision in a way by reducing the inventory that first-time buyers can acquire and helping to drive up prices.

“Investors are drawn to affordable homes for the same reason as other homebuyers: They cost less, which is especially attractive when home prices and borrowing costs remain elevated,” Redfin said in its report.

And they aren’t alone in betting on more households renting.

Builders in Colorado historically have pulled way more single-family permits than they have multifamily permits, which are dominated by apartments. As recently as 2020, the ratio was two to one in Colorado in favor of single-family.

But in 2022 and 2023, builders pulled more multifamily permits than single-family and they may come close to doing so again in 2024, according to the Colorado Business Economic Outlook from CU. ©2024 MediaNews Group, Inc. Visit at denverpost.com.
