Hope Springs Eternal

Homes

Home buyers are in a spring mood but sellers are still hibernating; resulting in record low inventory and angst for many home sellers, buyers and their agents.

“What many don’t realize is that while a lack of inventory might help a seller get more for their home, it has a downside,” says Broker, Frank Wilson. “It can cause potential sellers not to list, appraisals to come in low, buyers to lose out to multiple offers, VA and FHA buyers to take second chair to cash or conventional loans, and a general frustration from lack of choice.”

“Some potential sellers are currently parked in a gridlock position,” 315-865-5845 • David@lifeandhomes.com concurs CEO J. Lennox Scott, “because they are afraid to put their home on the market for fear they either won’t find a home, or they will find themselves in a multiple offer situation. This has stalled the migration pattern Magazine Deadlines Page 2 of sellers who would normally be putting their homes on the market.”

George Moorhead, Broker, agrees. “Sellers are frustrated when they cannot find another home to match their current needs, or when a home goes off market so fast that the option of a contingent sale is not even considered.”

The current market tends to favor buyers who are pre-approved for a mortgage, those with no contingencies and buyers with a large amount of cash to put down.

“For buyers, hope springs eternal,” suggests John Deely, a managing broker with Coldwell Banker. “We’ve been experiencing continued high buyer demand as the spring market takes off but sellers are on a more traditional schedule as listings slowly ramp up.” We’re all hoping sellers get moving soon. A balanced market is always preferable.

Window Film

Saves Money You can keep your windows from decreasing your home’s energy efficiency and increasing your monthly energy bills.

Windows typically account for 15 to 30 percent of the total heating load in a structure and may account for over half the summer cooling load.

Money may be escaping out your windows.

“I encourage homeowners to think of the hot and cool spots throughout their homes,” said Darrell Smith, Executive Director of the nonprofit International Window Film Association (IWFA). “These are indicators of areas that can be addressed to help boost a home’s efficiency.”

Full window replacement may not be the most cost-effective means for improvement.

“A professional installation of window film can provide the same - if not more - benefits for homeowners as complete window replacements,” said Smith. “In addition, a film installation can often be completed without a major disruption in use of the rooms.”

According to Smith, the potential savings per dollar can be seven times that of the installation of new windows. On average, an installation on a single-family home may range from $4 to $12 per square foot, depending on the type of window film installed.

Once window film is installed, it can help block up to 84 percent of the sun’s heat - keeping a home cool in summer - and help hold heat inside during winter - resulting in lower energy bills and a warmer environment.

“An additional feature of window film is the ability to block up to 99 percent of ultraviolet

newsShorts rays from passing through a window,” said Smith. “This offers homeowners an extra measure of protection for furniture, floors and cherished heirlooms.”

7 Home Improvements

to Tackle Before

You Move In

You found the perfect home, so it’s not surprising that you want to move in as quickly as possible. However, there are some projects that are best done when the house is still empty. So, consider completing the following seven items before the moving trucks arrive.

Painting.

A fresh coat of paint can instantly update a room, and it’s common to buy a home knowing you will need to paint several rooms after the sale.

However, painting is best done while every wall is accessible and there are no worries about getting paint on furniture or rugs.

Changing locks.

Now is the time to change the locks on your new home to eliminate the risk of any former keyholders accessing your new space. Do this even if you know the former keyholders because you never know who they shared keys with.

Flooring updates.

Redoing a floor is always easier when the floor is empty. Whether you’re choosing to redo wood floors or lay tile before you move in, tackling this process now also allows you to keep wood and tile dust off of furniture and collectables.

Roof repairs.

Roof repairs are a must. If the home inspection revealed any damage to the roof, make the necessary repairs before moving in. Choose a contractor experienced with the type of shingles your home requires. Several of the largest shingle manufacturers have programs for contractors who meet certain qualifications, like TAMKO Building Products’ Pro Certified Contractor program.

Homeowners can easily locate a TAMKO Pro at www.TAMKO.com/find-a-pro to get their project started.

Removing popcorn ceilings, a common sight, especially in older homes.

Popcorn ceilings (and walls) are easy to remove, but messy. Use a spray bottle to moisten an area, then scrape the texture off with a towel. Clean-up will be much easier if you complete this project before introducing your furniture to the space.

Fix leaks.

If left untreated, water leaks can do serious damage to furniture, rugs, flooring and other valuables. Leaks can also lead to secondary problems like rotting wood, mold and mildew.

No one wants to live in a house where you can’t use the water, so address plumbing issues before you move in.

Child and pet proofing.

Careful child and pet proofing can protect your babies (furry or otherwise). Gates at the top and bottom of stairs, outlet covers and locks on cabinets, drawers and any other place chemicals or medicines are kept, can help make your new home a safer place.

As difficult as it can be, sometimes delaying your move-in by a few weeks can save months of frustration in the long run. So don’t wait, because the sooner you start, the sooner you can start your new life in your new home.

Designing a Functional,

Stylish Home

Spring is a time of renewal and home improvement. More and more, homeowners are looking for maximum practicality and durability from everything in their home. They won’t, however, sacrifice style and aesthetic to achieve it.

Fortunately, home products continue to advance, be it waterproof technologies or scuff-proof surface finishes, all while maintaining the on-trend style and beautiful details design-savvy homeowners seek.

Form and function of flooring The most impactful way to refresh the home is starting from the ground up with flooring. Many homeowners are drawn to the beauty of wood floors, but worry about spills or kids and pets tracking messes through the house.

Retailers like Lumber Liquidators offer an array of waterproof and water resistant flooring styles.

Lumber Liquidators’ new Dream Home Ultra X2O laminate comes in a variety of styles and a wide color spectrum, and X2O has twice the water resistance of standard laminate flooring.

Scuff and scratch resistant baseboards Adding baseboards and moldings to walls creates a rich and custom look. However, these finishes are often the first to show the wear and tear of high traffic areas. Baseboards treated with a high gloss, washable and stain-resistant paint are better able to withstand abuse, and they come clean with just a little soap in water.

Busy and beautiful kitchen countertops Countertops are another design centerpiece of the home, and beautiful products abound. Quartz brings the look of stone and the variation of granite, with less maintenance. Butcher block counters are on-trend, add warmth and dimension, and are easy to repair. A good varnish helps maintain the wood and prevent staining.

Wallpaper makes a comeback Wallpaper has seen a resurgence in design circles, with detailed patterns and bold prints that can bring whimsy to spaces. Many homeowners experiment with a bold pattern in a smaller space, 4

LifeandHomes ■ Capital Region

newsShorts like a powder room, but worry about the suitability of wallpaper for rooms where moisture is common. More brands carry water-resistant wall covering materials. Vinyl wallpaper works best in bathrooms and kitchens that are prone to stains and water.

When homeowners see a look they love on Pinterest or in a design magazine, there’s likely a product or material to help them achieve it while protecting their investment. (BPT)

Investing in SingleFamily Real Estate Properties Online Nobody has a secret formula for successfully investing in real estate, but brushing up on your financial literacy, digging deep into market dynamics, understanding property-specific costs and turning to today’s access to unprecedented data and technology can lead to more-informed buying decisions.

Here are five tips that can help: Rule number one when looking at a property online. Figure out how the property performs today as an investment.

You shouldn’t assume any type of appreciation, speculation or reduction in expenses over time.

“What you’re buying today is what you’re going to live with because no one knows what tomorrow will hold for your property. Most savvy investors do not speculate on what a property might become,” said Dennis Cisterna, CRO of Investability Real Estate, Inc. A big line item is price.

A lot of online marketplaces will factor price appreciation into their analysis. Often, this can be misleading because you don’t always have the knowledge to know whether a market will appreciate, and making assumptions based on previous performance can be risky.

Another factor to consider is rent appreciation.

“It can’t be guaranteed and you shouldn’t speculate that rental increases will be part of your return.

You may assume, if rents go up, you might see an equal appreciation in your costs, so your yield may remain the same,” said Wally Charnoff, CEO of Investability Real Estate, Inc. Also, be sure you understand operating costs.

When you own a property far from home, it can be beneficial to rely on third-party providers to manage and repair the home. Therefore, it’s often best to include costs such as repairs, capital expenditures, “turn costs” (when a tenant moves out) and leasing expenses upfront.

Finally, you must do your due diligence when investing.

Regardless of whether you’re buying across town or across the country, make sure that the assumptions the seller uses are in line with the market’s actual costs and returns. Look for an opportunity based on the current numbers, not what some experts may promise about tomorrow.

By understanding the market- and propertylevel analytics and familiarizing yourself with the service providers in the area, you can be in a better position to make an informed investment decision. With upfront metrics and a network of vetted service providers, Investability can make it easier to find single-family residential properties that fit with your investment strategy.

“In my house-hunting efforts, I was fortunate to utilize an exceptional realty team in Mark Burlingame and his business partner, Lisa Wloch. Mark began the process with me and, due to his illness, Lisa took the reins. From my personal experience, Lisa is head and shoulders above other Realtors®. She worked tirelessly without regard to time of day [and] was tenacious in getting answers for me ....Lisa’s efforts did not end with the sale...I found Lisa to be totally focused and dedicated to doing what was best for her clients and putting their needs above any personal financial gain. Lisa is one-in-a million who truly takes her job seriously, always performing beyond expectations.” - Lee P (Guilderland) “We have bought and sold a number of homes over the past several years, accumulating a great deal of experience with various Realtors®. We can both state that Lisa Wloch has been the most professional, trustworthy, and talented Realtor® we have had the pleasure to work with. From the time we first met her and her wonderful business partner, the late Mark Burlingame, we knew we would not work with another Realtor® for any future real estate transactions. Lisa goes way above and beyond, and truly puts her heart into every aspect of the client relationship...offering advice to make a home more appealing, or simply checking in to help her clients through the sometimes stressful business of selling their home. Her level of commitment to her clients is something we truly did not find in any of the many Realtors®/agencies we had worked with in the past.

Lisa has continued to be a problem-solver long after the final sale, always making herself available for any questions, recommendations, or assistance with our new home. Thank you Lisa - you have clients for life in us!” - Marc and Marianne Roman “We chose to have Mark Burlingame and Lisa Wloch market our home in Guilderland, based on recommendations from friends and neighbors. It could not have been a better choice! Mark and Lisa treated us in a professional way from beginning to end. Their team philosophy made us very comfortable, and they were immediately responsive to all our concerns and questions. Mark’s untimely passing was a real blow to everyone, however, Lisa continued on in the same spirit that they had worked with together, and was able to accomplish the sale of our property, in spite these most difficult circumstances. We think Lisa Wloch is the Realtor® of choice to market and property in the Capital District.” - Don and Candy Dries
