MORTGAGE

What are mortgage points?

Should you pay them?

By Bankrate.com (TNS) When people want to find out how much their mortgages cost, lenders often give them quotes that include loan rates and points.

What exactly is a point?

A point is a fee equal to one percent of the loan amount. A 30-year, $150,000 mortgage might have a rate of seven percent but come with a charge of one point, or $1,500.

A lender can charge one, two or more points. There are two kinds of points: discount points and origination points.

Discount points These are actually prepaid interest on the mortgage loan. The more points you pay, the lower the interest rate on the loan and vice versa. Borrowers typically can pay anywhere from zero to three or four points, depending on how much they want to lower their

rates. This kind of point is tax-deductible.

Origination points This is charged by the lender to cover the costs of making the loan. The origination fee is taxdeductible if it was used to obtain the mortgage and not to pay other closing costs. The IRS specifically states that if the fee is for items that would normally be itemized on a settlement statement, such as notary fees, preparation costs and inspection fees, it is not deductible.

How do you decide whether to pay points, and how many? That depends on a number of factors, such as: – How much money you have available to put down at closing.

– How long you plan on staying in your house.

Points as prepaid interest reduce the interest rate, an advantage if

By the numbers...

A lender might offer you a 30-year fixed mortgage of $165,000 at 6 percent interest with no points.

The monthly mortgage principal and interest payment would be $989. If you pay two points at closing (that’s $3,300) you might be able to drop the interest rate down to 5.5 percent, with a monthly payment of $937. The savings difference would be $52 per month. But it would take 64 months to earn back the $3,300 spent upfront via lower payments.

If you’re sure you will own the house for more than five years, you save money by paying the points.

Study: More US households renting than at any point since 1965

you plan to stay in your home for a while.

But if you need the lowest possible closing costs, choose the zero-point option on your loan program.

More U.S. households are headed by renters than at any point since 1965, according to a new Pew Research Center study based on data from the Census Bureau.

The number of renters has “increased significantly” in the past decade, and those less likely to rent, such as whites and the middle-aged, have grown more likely to rent in recent years, the report said.

While the number of U.S. households grew by 7.6 million over the past decade, the number of homeowners remained flat, largely because of “lingering effects of the housing crisis,” according to the report. At the same time, the level of renters now exceeds highs set in 1986 and 1988.

The demographics of renters also are changing, the report said.

While young adults under the age of 35 continue to be the most likely to rent, the rental rate among those ages 35 to 44 is up 32 percent since 2006.

Black and Hispanic households remain more likely to rent, but all major racial and ethnic groups – including whites – are more likely to rent than a decade earlier, the study found. The rate of renting by households headed by a college graduate also has increased since 2006, from 22 to 29 percent.

A 2016 Pew survey aimed to explain why rental rates have surged so much in the past decade.

It’s not that home ownership is “undesirable” to today’s renters, the survey said, but rather financial reasons – across all demographic groups – have kept renters from becoming homeowners. Roughly two-thirds of renters in Pew’s survey said they currently rent as a result of circumstances, compared with 32 percent who said they rent by choice.

Will waiting to buy a home cost you more money?

One of the most common dilemmas that home buyers face is deciding when to buy a home. Is it better to buy now? Or is it better to wait?

Whether prices are on the rise or are falling, buyers seem to face the same dilemma in making a decision. If you are in this boat, here are a few things that may help you decide on the best time to buy.

as time goes on. There is no benefit to waiting unless you think home prices will start falling.

Secondly, if prices are on the rise, buying now allows you to quickly build equity in your home. Equity is one of the major benefits of home ownership to begin with. If you could build the same amount of equity in one year that it may otherwise take five years to build, then you’ve already profited greatly from your investment.

Interest rate trends Interest rates directly impact how much a home will cost you, or more importantly, how much of a home you can afford. When rates rise, the same priced house will naturally cost you more to finance. Therefore, monitoring the direction that interest rates are expected to go is extremely important.

During 2017, rates have already risen. Given that the economy has bounced back from its previous lows, the Fed is no longer freezing rates. Many experts believe that rates will continue to rise as the year progresses. Under these conditions, it’s more beneficial to buy a home now that to wait for later this year or next year, when rates may be much higher.

Home price trends Another important trend to follow are home prices. Have prices been rising or falling lately in your community. More likely than not, it’s been rising. This is very important for two reasons.

First, if prices are rising, the longer you wait, the more expensive homes will be. This means that you will spend more money on a home or you will qualify for a less expensive home

Cash flow and investment Another important consideration when it comes to buying a home is the cost of not buying a home. If you are renting, how much are you spending each month or year? How does that compare to home ownership? Let’s assume that each option costs you the same on the surface. Now consider the additional advantages of owning, such as tax benefits and equity building. How does the overall cost/ savings of renting compare to buying when you look at the big picture?

Under the current market conditions, it’s simply better to buy now than to wait.

The benefits of VA Loans In the world of real estate, VA loans sometimes get a bad rap.

However, there’s no reason for this unfavorable reputation.

In fact, VA loans are often MICHAELA beneficial to both PHILLIPS seller and buyer. Guaranteed Rate, Inc. What are VA loans?

VA loans are also known as Veteran Affairs mortgages.

They’re a type of mortgage that is available to both military veterans and active military members.

The loans are backed by the Department of Veteran’s Affairs and available through private lenders.

To be eligible for this type of loan, you need to be a member of the military, a veteran, in the reserves, or in the National Guard.

Widows of someone who died while on active duty or from a disability that was related to their military service can also apply.

There are limits to how long

homeowners must submit a Certificate of Eligibility that validates their service. This can be submitted online.

To be eligible for a VA Loan, you need to be a member of the military, a veteran, in the reserves or in the National Guard. (Photo:Pixabay)

you must be in the military before eligibility. Active-duty members are eligible after 6 months of service while those in the reserves and the National Guard are eligible after 6 years. However, if they’re called into active duty, they become eligible after 181 days.

During times of war, most people become eligible after 90 days of service.

To apply, prospective

How do they differ from conventional loans?

VA loans have different qualifications and risk factors than FHA or conventional loans.

One of the biggest differences is down payment: while many loans involve a down payment of 20%, VA loans don’t require anything.

The lack of a down payment benefits the buyer, of course, but it benefits the seller, as well. If an appraisal comes in lower than expected, the person using a VA loan may be better able to come up with the funds to bridge the gap between the value and the asking price.

Another difference is the cap: the VA doesn’t set a cap on the loan amount. You can secure a jumbo loan without putting down 20%. This opens the door for more buyers, allowing a greater number of active and retired military members to become homeowners.

Other benefits of VA loans VA loans have other benefits, too. The 30-year fixed rates are lower than traditional loans and the waiting period after a bankruptcy, foreclosure, or short sale is only two years. The VA program won’t deny you based on a low credit score, either; they’re more concerned with the last twelve months of credit history.

And there’s a future benefit, as well: the VA Streamline Refinance Loan allows you to refinance without having to requalify for the program.

Past and present members with a service-related disability may save even more. Lenders often waive the funding fee, minimizing the closing costs.

If you’re a former or acting serviceman or woman, a VA loan may be right for you.

AT HOME COLORADO

By Pat Setter San Diego Union-Tribune (TNS) The smart evolution has begun in our homes. More and more connected items are available to let you control your property from a single device, no matter where you are. Everything from lighting to heating and even making a cup of coffee can be at your fingertips.

Smart home products are streaming into the marketplace, which makes it very confusing to know what’s really useful and what’s just really cool – but not so useful.

As smart solutions become more and more mainstream, builders are increasingly incorporating high-tech options into new construction. So what smart technology should the homebuyer keep in mind when shopping for a new house?

Most technology in new homes centers on security and energy savings. Look for systems that can control interior and exterior lights, heating and air conditioning, such as the Nest smart thermostats, and home security systems with items such as video doorbells and smart door locks.

Remote-controlled sound systems are also popular items.

Savvy shoppers are expecting to find these compatible with voice-activated devices such as Amazon’s Echo and Google’s Home.

All this technology means homeowners need to consider how the home is set up. To make everything work properly, the home needs to be completely wired with enough bandwidth to support audio and video streaming and

good Wi-Fi reception in all corners of the home.

Sophisticated buyers in high-end downtown high-rises expect homes to be equipped with the latest technology.

“It’s important for residents to have a smart home that allows them to easily automate climate, lighting and window treatments using their mobile device,” said Bemi Jauhal, director of sales and marketing at Bosa Development.

“This way, homeowners can program settings to fit their individual needs and preferences.

In addition, technology that provides filtered water, such as Everpure, is relevant to our homebuyers.”

Some developers have announced that they will make smart technology part of their standard offerings.

Increased technology goes hand in hand with sustainability.

Automated blinds will keep homes cooler, and thermostats will turn the temperatures up and down only where and when it’s needed.

Power management systems are becoming increasingly popular.

These systems shut off standby power, which some studies say use as much as five percent of U.S. energy consumption.

Although items such as connected refrigerators – which let owners peek inside from the grocery store to see what’s missing – are gaining some traction, items like this are still relatively rare and expensive. Consumers are looking for solutions that will save time, money and energy. It’s those items that will begin showing up as standard features in new homes.

Post inspection?

It is a common belief that real estate “deals” are negotiated at the signing of the contract.

In many cases, the dealmaking and RICK negotiations JACQUEMARD only start at Flatirons Home the contract Inspections signing.

Negotiations still happen once a home inspection has taken place. There are four choices for the buyer to consider following a home inspection; do nothing, ask the sellers to make repairs, ask the sellers for a credit for repairs at closing, or cancel the purchase based on the report.

Buyers often choose to take July 28-29, 2017

(measured at the Boulder airport).

This alone shouldn’t have been a problem for the plants, but this is Colorado after all, and May had sent us snowy, wet weather that delayed planting.

The combination of late start and early heat has resulted in many peppers and eggplants stalling. “I remember having this happen about five or six years ago, where we had six or seven days above 100 in May. But that still wasn’t as bad as this year. They’re just not catching up,” he said.

Heat stress reduces plant’s ability to photosynthesize and cool itself efficiently, which in turn limits root development, according to University of Nebraska Extension Water Resources Engineer Suat Irmak. Persistently higher temperature s this summer – 22 days as of July 24 – plus limited root growth has left these plants languishing.

“As hot as it’s been everywhere, we’re seeing a lot of this. But it seems like it’s impacting the sweet and bell peppers more; they’re really affected. Chiles are handling it a lot better,” said Bartolo. “In some cases the stems got sunscald and developed woody callous tissue over the burn. Now that’s interfering with the flow of water through the plant and making things worse.”

Bartolo’s research into

a credit at closing rather than having the seller make repairs.

The sellers are on their way out and may not approach the work with the same priorities as a buyer might. Also, if buyers get a credit, there will be less back and forth to confirm the work has been completed to their satisfaction.

The state of the market also plays a part in these negotiations. If it’s an aggressive seller’s market, the buyer’s negotiating clout is limited.

In a buyer’s market, the buyer will have more room for negotiation.

If you are firm about having the seller do the repairs specify in the purchase agreement that work must be done by licensed contractors. Major repairs to plumbing, electrical or HVAC require a permit. Be sure that permits are pulled and inspections completed by the authority with

jurisdiction, i.e. your town’s building inspector. If a project is too small to require a permit, maybe it doesn’t make sense to ask the seller to do it at all. Specify a date for a follow-up inspection if one is planned, preferably a week before the closing so there is time to resolve outstanding items.

Sellers may want to get a home inspection of their own before they put their house on the market.

They can then make minor repairs before putting their home on the market. They can also give buyers a complete list of disclosures, which may be required as part of the contract. Buyers don’t like to be surprised. Even if the seller has a complete inspection, buyers should go ahead and schedule their own inspection.

When the final inspection is complete, make a point of doing

a walk-through of your future home with the inspector. Not only is it helpful to see firsthand any problems the inspector uncovers, you get a detailed look at the mechanics of the house and all its quirks, such as the location of the septic tank, locations of all electrical panels or how to turn off the main water supply to the house.

RE/MAX of Boulder named “Miracle Office” for Children’s Hospital Colorado Outreach and involvement inspire others to lend their support The partnership with RE/MAX “ of Boulder has been incredible.

Their staff works hard to make sure that every person in the office is aware of the Miracle System and Children’s Colorado is part of their day-to-day work.

By L.L. Charles, At Home Photography by RE/MAX of Boulder We all know what Realtors do. They help people buy and sell homes.

But their profession also puts them in a unique position to understand what our communities are all about. Beyond home sales and neighborhoods, there are the daily details of how we live as citizens: the economy, amenities, and the needs that together form the lifeblood of any city.

The management and Realtors of RE/MAX of Boulder have a long-established legacy of community outreach in support of many local initiatives and nonprofits through volunteering, serving on Boards, making donations and publicizing important causes.

The company has even created a dedicated website to keep local residents informed about our community and ongoing philanthropic opportunities. Bouldersource.com is an online community hub for news and events showcasing behind-the-scenes stories about Boulder’s people, nonprofits and businesses.

RE/MAX of Boulder was recently named a “Miracle Office” by Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals (CMNH) for supporting Children’s Hospital Colorado through donations from each home sale. These donations help support the care of sick and 10

injured children and their families. They are vital for providing best-in-class care for kids in Colorado and surrounding areas, and are typically used to fund treatments and programs, research, equipment and charitable care.

Continually acknowledged as one of the nation’s outstanding pediatric hospitals

by U.S. News & World Report, Children’s Colorado is known for both its nationally and internationally recognized medical, research, education and advocacy programs, as well

as comprehensive everyday care for kids throughout Colorado and surrounding states.

Children’s Colorado also is recognized for excellence in nursing from the American Nurses Credentialing Centers and has been designated a Magnet® hospital since 2005.

The hospital’s family-centered, collaborative approach combines the nation’s top pediatric doctors, nurses and researchers to pioneer new approaches to pediatric medicine.

“We are honored to be named a ‘Miracle Office’ and to be able to support an exemplary hospital which is providing outstanding care to children and families from across our state,” says RE/MAX of Boulder Managing Broker Todd Gullette.

On July 12, Children’s Colorado/CMNH joined RE/MAX of Boulder at Bands on the Bricks, and presented them with a plaque naming RE/MAX of Boulder a “Miracle Office.”

RE/MAX of Boulder also invited Kacie Thomas, CMNH Manager at Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation, to have a table at Bands on the Bricks where she shared information with the public. Joshua Riley, co-manager of Dairy Queen at 3265 North 28th Street, another CMNH partner, joined the table to help publicize the lead up to Dairy Queen’s Miracle Treat Day on July 27, in which a portion of sales of Blizzards were donated to CMNH. Kacie Thomas says, “The partnership with RE/MAX of Boulder has been incredible.

Their staff works hard to make sure that every person in the office is aware of the Miracle System and Children’s Colorado is part of their day-to-day work. Not only have they made sure to involve their staff, but they’ve also gone the extra mile to collaborate with other CMNH partners in the Boulder area to make our CMN philanthropy even more prominent in the Boulder community.

enough for the impact they’ve made to help the kids at Children’s Colorado!”

Stories of support like this take on a

new personal connection when someone you know is impacted. This is the case for RE/MAX of Boulder Realtor Bob Luhr, who has experienced this first-hand. When his son, Alex, was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy in 1995, Bob’s family began a life-long relationship with the doctors and staff at Children’s Colorado. Every six months, Alex visits the multidisciplinary clinic which is a part of the Neuromuscular Program for evaluation and treatment by a multidisciplinary team. Included are specialists in neurology, rehabilitation medicine, cardiology, pulmonology, respiratory therapy, physical therapy, nursing, social work, genetic counseling and nutrition, many of whom have seen Alex from the beginning. “The quality of care he has received is superb and typical of the experiences other families have had when dealing with a myriad of challenging childhood diseases,” Bob Luhr says. “We are most fortunate to have Children’s Colorado in our community.”

RE/MAX of Boulder Realtor Tom Cohen who has also taken his children to Children’s Hospital Colorado agrees, and says, “We have relied on Children’s Colorado for many years with our two kids. Every interaction with the hospital and staff has been top-notch medically and the care is always delivered with compassion and grace. It is truly an integral community resource for the entire Rocky Mountain region.”

This year RE/MAX of Boulder is honored

to mark its 40th year as trusted community experts, having earned its place as Boulder Valley’s top real estate agency. RE/MAX of Boulder was recently named the No. 1 single RE/MAX office in the U.S. for 2016 total sales volume, making it the eighth time the company earned the No. 1 ranking – as well as having been voted Best Real Estate Group in Boulder Weekly’s Best of Boulder.

lanning a major renovation sometimes leads to sticker shock: The average kitchen remodel costs nearly $57,000, while a bathroom renovation runs nearly $17,000 on average.

Don’t let those numbers put a damper on your design dreams. It’s possible to cut costs on a remodel without cutting corners. With some strategic design decisions and creativity in sourcing materials, taking small steps along the way can add up to significant savings.

Try these tips to lower your remodeling expenses.

Make decisions early Researching material, fixture and appliance costs early in the process can avoid headaches in the long run. Failing to specify up front what you want means you have to rely on your contractor’s estimate, or allowance.

Advance research gives you the opportunity to decide early where to save and where to splurge. A change order can balloon your

DIY demo It’s back-breaking work, but doing your own demolition can save about a day’s worth of labor and hauling charges for a single room, even more for larger areas. If you’ve never demolished anything before, it may be better to leave it to a pro who can best prevent any electrical, plumbing or structural disasters.

Cost for a pro: $1,000 Cost to DIY: Sweat equity plus $400 for dumpster rental Saved: $600

Clean up yourself Rather than racking up labor fees while your contractor sweeps up every day, put your money into other aspects of your project, like installing tile or painting. Not

all companies let customers do cleanup for liability reasons, so check with your contractor before building this option into your budget.

Cost for construction crew to clean up: $200 per day Cost to DIY: Zero Saved: About 3 percent of the job cost

Search for salvage and substitutions Many alternatives to high-end materials offer a similar quality at a lower price point. You may also get lucky and find enough recycled or lightly used fixtures at your local salvage shop or Habitat for Humanity ReStore, which offers secondhand materials sometimes at more than half off home center prices.

Cost of new marble vanity top: $400 Cost of salvaged substitute: $50 Saved: $350

Reface cabinets Before ripping out your cabinets, see if refacing makes sense. If you like your room’s layout and your

Use wall-mounted lights Between the cost of the fixtures and the labor to cut the holes and install insulation, recessed light expenses add up quickly.

Ceiling- and wall-mounted lights deliver more wattage, so you may not need as many, providing additional savings.

Cost to install four recessed lights: $800 ($200 each, includes fixtures and labor) Cost to install one surface-mounted light of equal wattage: $400 (includes fixture and labor) Saved: $400

Set up a makeshift kitchen What to do when a kitchen renovation leaves you without access to a dedicated cooking area? With help from your contractor, set up a makeshift prep surface, microwave, coffeemaker and fridge to use while your kitchen is out of service.

Cost: Zero Cost of daily takeout and coffee: $50+ Saved: $1,000 for a three-week kitchen remodel

“Peace Of Mind Every Time”

Q: Dear Ed: I enjoyed your recent column about installing an air freshener toilet seat for a quick bathroom upgrade. But what about the kitchen? I think we would all enjoy your advice for a quick kitchen upgrade as well.

– Beth, Michigan A: Plumbing accessories for the bathroom and kitchen are a hot topic, so there’s no shortage of ideas when it comes to quick plumbing upgrades.

A new kitchen plumbing accessory that’s really caught my eye is a battery-operated countertop touchless soap dispenser. With a countertop unit, all you need to do is fill it up with liquid or foaming soap and place it next to the kitchen sink. With the no-touch feature, there’s no touching the soap dispenser with unwashed hands, and this can help promote better hygiene in the kitchen. Just hold your hand(s)

under the spout to dispense the soap.

Other features can include nodrip operation and variable soap dispensing amounts. Also, stainless steel finishes are available to give your new touchless soap dispenser a really clean look.

HOME DECOR

Hide the TV or just frame it?

By Cindy Dampier, Chicago Tribune (TNS) Televisions are the design world’s version of a Rorschach test. To take it, just ask yourself this question: Does a television hung above a fireplace mantel make you want to settle in with a bowl of popcorn... or scream?

If you fall in with the primal screamers, you might be a woman (designers find that men tend to focus on TVs and electronics in the home, while women focus on how to hide them) or a design nerd, or you might just be someone who isn’t attuned to the nuances of “The Great British Baking Show.” The reason’s not important. What is important is making sure you’re not looking at a shiny black box in the middle of your living room that makes you want to scream.

Weirdly, one form of relief comes from Samsung, the people who are responsible for a lot of the giant black boxes hanging on living room walls. Earlier this year, the company announced The Frame, a television designed specifically to not look like a

Samsung’s The Frame TV. (Photo: Samsung)

television. Instead, it masquerades as framed artwork.

Recently released in the U.S., The Frame has a charcoal black edge that looks like a sleek, modern frame for artwork.

(Frames in walnut, “beige wood” or white are sold separately.) And it comes with an “art mode” that allows you to program artwork or photos (choose from a free offering of 100 pieces, ranging from nature photos to modern drawings, or purchase additional options, or use your own image) to remain on the screen when you’re not watching TV. You can even choose a matte color and layout to give your artwork that custom framing look. Sure, it’s expensive (about $2,000 for the 55-inch model, samsung.com) but it’s all in the name of fooling the eye, and soothing that savage design beast – while not giving up “Game of Thrones.”
