Home Inspection Tips For Sellers Spring is here —the most popular time to list a home for sale. When you are ready to sell and BY RICK want to help JACQUEMARD the process Flatirons Home go smoothly Inspections and quickly, consider a pre-listing home inspection. These types of inspections, paid for by the seller or listing agent, are written reports detailing the condition of the property. It may uncover concerns that could derail a sale later at closing. Any major repairs can be addressed beforehand. Doing repairs ahead of time might also be more cost-effective than having to pay a buyer’s contractor. One of the best ways to make certain your home attracts buyers and the highest possible price is to make sure it is “dressed for success” both inside and out. Clean your house. A clean home says you can and do take care of the house. A fresh coat of paint and some new landscaping may seem like obvious first steps. However, when it comes to the home inspection, there is much more to do. Beginning with the exterior, repair things like loose steps, disconnected gutters and rotted trim. Look for anything that has been neglected, like a rotted windowsill or missing shingle. Loose railings on decks or stairs are a common and often overlooked issue. A pair of binoculars is a good tool to use for the roof review. Besides missing shingles look for loose metal flashing around chimneys and plumbing vents, a common cause of leaks. Be sure all trees and shrubs are trimmed away from the house, decks and fences. Inside, give your mechanical systems an honest assessment. If your heating and cooling system has not been recently inspected, do it now. If you are aware of any minor plumbing or electrical

repairs that need to be done, get them done before a home inspection. Make sure all light fixtures have working light bulbs. Leaky toilet fill valves, drippy faucets or electrical outlets that do not work might seem minor but fixing them means you will have less to worry when the inspection is done. If you have made improvements to your home, make all invoices and documents regarding remodeling or new items such as a roof, water heater or furnace available to buyers. If you have upgraded the electrical service, installed a new dishwasher or repaired a leaky faucet, find the paperwork and make it available. It will give the buyer peace of mind to know those items were repaired or upgraded. As was mentioned earlier one of the smartest things you can do to get your home ready for sale is to hire your own home inspector to go through it before it goes on the market. There may be issues with your home that you have either forgotten about or never knew existed. They can also inform you about issues
such as high radon gas levels If problems are discovered, you have the time to either repair these yourself or disclose them up front to the buyer, eliminating the possibility that the buyer will ask you to make repairs later. Ask your real estate agent which repairs should be done right away. A home inspector is going to find more wrong with your home than needs to be repaired. There will be items that you cannot and should not ignore. If your home needs a new roof, or a new heating/air conditioning system these should be addressed up front. There may also be a list of honey-do items that will not diminish the home’s value and may cost you more money or time than the money they would yield for you at the sale. Make sure you discuss these items with your agent as well. Your realtor may have other suggestions, but these are a good place to start.

HOME AND GARDEN
Cheatgrass
Sharon Bokan, Colorado State University Extension Boulder County It’s that grass whose seeds get caught in your shoes and socks when you go hiking, cheatgrass (aka. Downy brome Bromus tectorum, Japanese brome Bromus japonicus) is a winter annual List C noxious weed in Colorado. Originating in Europe, it grows on the decaying straw thatched roofs in the Mediterranean region. This is how it got its name; “tectum” is Latin for roof, so “brome of the roof.” It got its common name,
cheatgrass, because it germinates early, some years in August or September, over winters and is taking up moisture and nutrients early in the spring before most other plants are actively growing. Being an annual, it only reproduces by seed. Not all the seeds germinate the year they are produced. Some seed survives in the soil for up to 5 years. Cheatgrass plants mature and produce seed by June. Infested areas can have 600 to 1200 plants that produce approximately 1600 seeds per square foot or 478 per acre. Cheatgrass seedlings are identified from other grasses by being one of the first grasses up and growing each year. They are very soft hairy seedlings with a reddish tinge during the winter. Cheatgrass has altered our wildfire regimes. Because it matures so early in the year, it is tinder dry during the hot summer months and readily and intensively burns. Historically, wildfires occurred approximately every 30 years in the foothills, but this timing has been reduced to approximately every 3 years in cheatgrass infested areas. Cheatgrass also changes the nitrogen distribution in the soil profile. It is a nitrogen user, so it uses the nitrogen in the
upper profile causing a nitrogen deficiency. Over fertilizing early can favor cheatgrass growth. The management key is keeping it from going to seed by grazing, mowing or pulling and being persistent! If you have grazing livestock and poultry, cheatgrass is good forage early on before the flower and seed head come out. If you can over graze the cheatgrass without overgrazing your desired grass/es, you stress the cheatgrass and make it easier to manage. If you are mowing, mow high the first time so when it produces a second flower/seed head you have height to be able to mow lower the second time. If you mow it to the ground the first time, it may set its second flower/seed head lower than you can mow. Set your mower to cut just below the seed head. If you are ambitious, you can pull the plants. With a little moisture, they easily pull out of the ground. If they have not gone to seed, you can compost them. If they have flowers or mature seeds, you need to dispose of them in the trash. Once the heads come out, you do not want to continue grazing. The seed with the awn can get lodged in an animal’s
mouth or eyes causing sores and ulcerations or in fleece lowering its value. Because it is a grass, trying to manage it growing among other grasses and forbs is hard. For the urban dweller, hand pulling is feasible. For those with larger lots and acreages, you need to at a minimum mow to prevent or lower seed production or consider using an herbicide. Management is best done when the plants are small. Don’t wait until it is producing seed to start managing it. Organic herbicides can be used when the plants are small. Organic herbicides are non-selective so they will damage or kill desired plants too so they must be used with care. There are synthetic herbicides that can be used to manage cheatgrass. Care must be taken to choose the correct herbicide and use it according to the label.

This past week we honored teachers and nurses and Sunday we honor Mothers everywhere. I salute all Moms, especially those who are now acting as teachers and playmates to children who are not able to be with their friends and experiencing a whole new world. Thank you to the Dads that are supporting this, too. What a time to celebrate so many special people in our lives who have so tirelessly given of themselves and their families to provide to all of us. I want to recognize our grocery store workers, sanitation workers, postal workers, food delivery workers, agricultural workers, farmers, small business people & neighbors helping neighbors who are making such sacrifices at this most uncertain time to provide services that we previously took for granted in our daily lives. Thank you for the fabulous efforts of all of our frontline workers including police, military, firefighters and hospital workers! The list goes on and on and I don’t mean to exclude anyone. My sincere thanks to all who are working so selflessly to make our country safe, fed and healthy. Bless you all.

REALTOR FOR LIFE
Alternatives to Foreclosure in a Coronavirus World Even in good markets, unexpected events or circumstances happen. People lose jobs, suffer health issues, and for a variety of BY DUANE reasons, are DUGGAN unable to make Realtor and Author RE/MAX of Boulder their mortgage payments. The coronavirus crisis has created a level of job loss never before seen in history. When a homeowner gets behind in their payments, they usually don’t know what to do so they do nothing. In fact, in the last recession, over 70% of homeowners who fell behind in payments did just that. They did absolutely nothing and ended up walking away from their homes. If we learned anything in the last recession, it is this: if you can’t make your mortgage payment, communicate with your mortgage lender immediately. In reality, there are several options you may have, and foreclosure is the very last one on the list. Credit and homeownership can often be saved if the homeowner takes quick action. At the first sign of not being able to make the monthly mortgage payment, the homeowner should promptly contact a real estate attorney, a REALTOR®, and their mortgage lender to review these options summarized below: 1. Reinstatement 2. Repayment plan (also known as Forbearance) and covered in last week’s article 3. Sell the Property 4. Rent the Property 5. Refinance 6. Modification of the Mortgage 7. Short Refinance 8. Reverse Mortgage 9. Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure 10. Bankruptcy 11. FHA and VA options 12. Service members Civil Relief Act (SCRA) 13. Short Sale 14. Foreclosure Reinstatement Often the reason the homeowner is behind on payments is only temporary. If this is the case, the homeowner must pay all the missed payments, late fees, and attorney fees in a lump sum 6
AT HOME COLORADO
payment. After the homeowner is caught up, the loan continues as it was before. Repayment Plan or Forbearance Sometimes the mortgage lender will add up the missed payments, late fees, and attorney fees and divide them up through a payment plan or add the payments onto the end of the loan. The homeowner will usually need to show the mortgage lender why they would now be able to handle the repayment plan suggested. Sell the Property Coronavirus restrictions for showing homes requiring scheduled showings and no open houses can make the home selling process longer. These restrictions are likely to be with us for some time, making quick action even more important. The sooner a distressed homeowner calls their REALTOR® the better. Each month that goes by that the homeowner does not make a payment before getting the home on the market, makes it tougher to solve the problem. The more equity an owner has in their home, the more likely they will be able to sell the property and pay off the mortgage, and maybe even have something left over. Some mortgage lenders may postpone foreclosure if they know the property is on the market or if a home sale contract is pending. Rent the Property The homeowner must live somewhere, but if the homeowner can move elsewhere and pay less rent than a mortgage payment, the homeowner could then rent out the old home. If this rent is for an amount that is close to the total mortgage principal, interest, taxes, and insurance payment, this could be a viable alternative. When the situation stabilizes, the homeowner could move back into their old home. Refinance Usually when a homeowner is behind on the payments and does not have a job, it is tough to qualify for a new mortgage loan. Yet, if there is enough equity in the home, the homeowner’s credit has not been damaged too badly, and the problem that caused the late payments has gone away, then there is a chance a new mortgage lender will make a loan.
Modification of the Mortgage A mortgage lender may agree to a variety of modifications. These modifications might include lowering the interest rate, extending the term of the loan, or adding the missed payments to the end of the loan. Short Refinance A short refinance can involve a reduction of the principal amount and possibly even a lower interest rate. Usually the borrower still needs to show not only hardship, but also the ability to pay the mortgage with the new payment structure. Reverse Mortgage If the homeowner is over the age of 62, a reverse mortgage could pay off the existing mortgage and the homeowner could have no payments. If there is enough equity in the home, the homeowner might even be able to receive payments. For seniors whose retirement accounts are losing value due to the coronavirus, this could be a possible option. Deed-in-Lieu of Foreclosure This usually works best when the home value is about the same as the mortgage amount. It is often called the “friendly foreclosure” since the borrower simply deeds the property back to the mortgage lender. Generally, this only works if there is just one mortgage and no other liens. In the settlement, sometimes the lender will forego any rights to a deficiency judgment. Bankruptcy Sometimes bankruptcy will stop a foreclosure and allow the borrower to reorganize their debt and keep their property. By entering bankruptcy, it can make the property more difficult to sell or more challenging with regard to negotiating a short sale. Personal bankruptcy is generally considered a last resort. FHA and VA Alternatives If a homeowner has an FHA or VA mortgage, there might be other alternatives. More information can be found at www.fha.gov or www.homeloans.va.gov . Service members Civil Relief Act (SCRA) When a homeowner is called to military service and can show
that the call to duty affects their ability to pay their mortgage -- and the mortgage was in place before active service -- there can be relief. Short Sale A short sale occurs when the loan on the property is greater than the value of the property. When an offer comes in on the property, the mortgage lender must approve the amount of the shortfall. Often there are so many investors involved in making the decision on the shortfall, it can take an extraordinary amount of time to get the final approval. During the recession of 2007 to 2012, short sales were very commonplace. Nevertheless, due to increases in value since 2012, most homeowners are likely to have more equity to weather the storm. Foreclosure Foreclosure finally comes about when the mortgage lender has filed the necessary paperwork and has served the Notice of Election and Demand (NED). In Colorado, a sale date is then set 110 to 125 days from the NED recording date. After the sale date, there is no redemption period, and the homeowner no longer has any rights to the property. Quick action and contacting the appropriate professionals are the key factors in successfully dealing with a possible foreclosure situation. During the coronavirus pandemic, however, options can potentially change daily. Be sure to consult your attorney, mortgage lender, and REALTOR® for the most current information and to identify and work towards a solution that might work best for you.

Extra Time at Home Reveals What We Love—Or Don’t — About Our Homes There’s no place like home—and lately the pandemic has forced millions nationwide to be, for the most part, in no place but home. BY TOM This prolonged KALINSKI time being homebound has RE/MAX of Boulder cast a spotlight on aspects of our home we absolutely love, those we could love more, and things we don’t love at all. “After more than a month of stay-at-home orders, it’s safe to say Americans are really getting to know what home features work and don’t work for their families,” says Nate Johnson, realtor.com chief marketing officer. The single characteristic people value most in their home is location. People want a quiet neighborhood with outdoor space near essentials like a grocery store and pharmacy, according to a recent realtor.com® survey of
1,300 homeowners and renters. It’s no surprise. Quiet outdoor space provides a safe, easy place for fresh air and a refreshing change of scenery from being shut indoors. Next most valued is an updated kitchen, with 10 percent of respondents highly ranking this favorite area. Kitchens are the heart of the home, and with a rise in home meal prep during these times, it’s no surprise this ranks No. 2 on the highly valued list. Rounding out the most valued list: 9 percent love the natural light that fills their home and 6 percent liked flexible spaces that multi-
function for crafting, gaming, or exercise. On the “what’s not to like” side, most people—19 percent—longed for more space in their homes. Perhaps that is not too surprising, since the longer we look at the same four walls, the more we might feel like they are closing in. Thirteen percent wanted an updated kitchen and 11 percent longed for a home gym. Updating the home, adding more natural light, and adding a yard or patio all ranked highly, with 9 percent of participants for each. Six percent of people longed for an extra bathroom. And our homes—like our pets— are benefitting from our collective “stuck-at-home” situation. About 32 percent of those surveyed claim to have a home improvement project underway, and another 15 percent plan to start a project soon. “As we move forward, we expect the shelter-in-place experience to have a significant influence on home-buying trends and how buyers prioritize home
features, neighborhoods, and home improvement projects,” Johnson says. Top DIY projects include cleaning out closets or the garage with 21 percent tackling this dreaded task. Next up is the more pleasant seasonal project of gardening and planting—17 percent; painting—13 percent; redecorating a room—10 percent; and rearranging the furniture—9 percent.

More square footage and access to the outdoors creates both breathing room and the spirit of adventure. Whatever your vision for your next home includes—be it a larger yard, an in-law suite, extra bedrooms, or countless other ideals—creative new ways are available to explore and find your perfect fit. 8
AT HOME COLORADO
New ways to home shop Home shopping looks a little different these days. Builders everywhere are providing new tools and means of researching and discovering the right home for you, without necessarily even stepping inside. Prioritizing your personal comfort, health, and well-being, virtual and in-person options offer a new approach to discovering what homes have to offer. Virtual tours and private walkthroughs. Through 3-D virtual tours, it’s possible to view model homes and floorplans while practicing physical distancing. Builders will even offer virtual appointments and video walkthroughs via online platforms such as Zoom, Skype, and FaceTime. Limited in-person tours. In addition to virtual options, some builders are offering “smart walkthroughs” where prospective buyers can take a self-guided tour of a home. Prior to the appointment, builders disinfect and unlock the homes, then thoroughly sanitize again
afterward. Builders will also offer private-in-person appointments to tour homes, scheduled in advance. Once you find a home you love, respect for physical distancing and unnecessary travel continues throughout the entire home-buying experience. Buyers can write and sign a contract online, and even choose design finishes through virtual design centers.

ASK ANGIE’S LIST
Clean and maintain hardscaping. Porches, pathways, driveways and other hardscaping elements require regular maintenance to keep them looking their best. Springtime is a good time to have a professional pressure-wash concrete around your home’s exterior — as well as siding and other exterior surfaces. It’s also a good time to inspect for and take note of any cracks or damage. If you notice an issue, call a pro to take a look and get ahead of costly repairs.
How can I perk up my porch? By Angie’s List Angie’s List (TNS) Whether your porch is a place to have a cup of coffee, watch your kids play, or dine alfresco on a nice summer evening, it’s probably not the first place you think of when considering home repairs and upgrades. But there are several budget-friendly improvements that can make your porch a place to enjoy throughout the year. Update small details. Do you notice wobbly railings or faded paint on columns and trim? For a cleaner, more stylish space, consider tightening screws, replacing old wood or giving the area a fresh coat of paint. You can also order outdoor decor, like throw rugs and placemats, to cozy up the space. If your front door’s seen better days, you might consider replacing it — or painting it a vibrant, happy color like red, yellow or blue.
Budget-friendly upgrades such as fresh paint, area rugs and comfortable furniture can revitalize your porch. (Photo: Dreamstime/TNS).
Replace old lighting and electrical fixtures. If your porch fan is buzzing, squeaking or moving slowly, it’s likely time for a replacement. The same goes for lighting – if you see flickering and dimming, or hear humming, it’s a good idea to call an electrician to evaluate and handle the issue. If your fixtures are dated, replacing them is a simple project with instant results. Hanging string or fairy lights can also add a special, inviting touch to any outdoor space.
Bring plants into the picture. Potted plants are the gold standard when it comes to sprucing up your porch for spring and summer — whether you’re keen to keep things monochromatic or go all-out with a vibrant mix. For a fail-safe design, consider hanging plants on the interior and placing potted plants at either side of the door and along the edge of the porch itself. You can also use potted plants and flowers to line your walkway — and add a few path lights to highlight them at night.
Opt for comfortable furniture. Soaking up the sun or settling in for a cup of evening tea is that much better when you can lean back and relax. Even the smallest porches can usually accommodate a chair or two. When it comes to seating, the sky’s the limit: choose a classic bench swing, a bistro set, rocking chairs, colorful Adirondacks or even trendy hanging basket chairs. When it comes to perking up your porch, it all comes down to what best fits your space, budget and taste. ———

Pandemic causes rethink of home price predictions By Steve Brown The Dallas Morning News (TNS) Housing forecasters are scrambling to adjust their price expectations. Back in January, CoreLogic was predicting a more than 5% gain for nationwide home prices this year. Now CoreLogic researchers are predicting that home prices across the country will be up by only 0.5% a year from now thanks to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Home purchases dropped by 26% year-over-year in the last two months of March, said Dr. Frank Nothaft, chief economist at CoreLogic. “Rapid decline of purchase activity starting in the middle of March can be seen in other CoreLogic data and is consistent with our home price index forecast of slowing price growth in April,” Nothaft said in the report. “The first quarter GDP results showed that the country entered a recession in March. “Unemployment claims have

reached record highs and this economic environment will further impact the housing market into the foreseeable future.” Home prices nationwide were still up 4.5% in March, reflecting purchases contracted before the pandemic hit. Dallas-area home prices were 2.68% higher than in March 2019, CoreLogic estimates. Looking at other Texas markets, the biggest annual price gains were in Austin (5.21%) and Houston (4.34%). CoreLogic predicts that Houston home prices will fall by 1.9% during the next year with
the combined impact of the oil price slide and the pandemic. “Although the economic fallout from lockdown orders, put in place to fight the spread of COVID-19, will be profound, the basic supports for a rebound in home purchase activity remain in place,” said Frank Martell, president and CEO of CoreLogic. “Once the shelter-in-place policies are lifted, we expect millennials, who submitted home-purchase applications well into the crisis, to lead the way back to a positive, purchase-driven housing cycle.” Zillow is predicting that nationwide home prices will fall
by 2% to 3% through the rest of this year and rebound by the end of 2021. Home sales across the country are expected to fall by as much as 60% this spring before beginning to recover, Zillow researchers anticipate. “Much uncertainty still exists, particularly with some states beginning to reopen and experts warning of a possible second wave of the coronavirus in the fall,” said Dr. Svenja Gudell, Zillow’s chief economist. “However, housing fundamentals are strong — much more so than they were leading into the Great Recession — and that bodes well for housing in general. “Despite the difficulties, we’re seeing several signs that there is still a good amount of demand for housing, and buyers, sellers and agents are growing more comfortable moving transactions forward where possible,” Gudell said. “For those who need to sell, buyers are out there, and there are ways to embrace technology and practice social distancing to ensure a safe process.”
