March-

Lion or Lamb?

In like a lion… I’m not sure if that statement better applies to the month of March or my grandsons.

Those little boys sure liven things up when they hit the house. We honestly wouldn’t want it any other way.

Beware Refund

newsShorts

Rebound in 2012

Anticipation Loans Home Sales Predicted Tax preparers often offer Refund Anticipation Loans (RAL) to allow you to immediately receive your tax refund.

However, RALs are not an actual refund from the IRS but are a short-term loan from the company. According to the Consumer Federation of America, the interest rate and administration fees on RALs can range from 40% to over 700% of your refund.

The RAL is an estimation made by the tax preparer of your refund amount, not a statement from the government. As a result, your refund could actually be less than the amount of your loan.

This means you may end up owing the tax preparer more money than you received in your refund.

A better option than taking a RAL is to work with debt collectors and let them know a refund is on the way. Losing a portion of the money to a loan only puts you further behind.

To avoid RALs, consider filing your taxes electronically and requesting to have your money direct deposited. This is a much easier process to do on your own now with tax return software. While this entire process usually takes 10-14 days, you will receive 100 percent of your money and not have another loan to pay off as you would with a RAL.

Planning Your New Kitchen

* Paint the walls. * Change out the faucet. * Add new accessories like pillows or wall art.

“Faucets in the kitchen are much more than what they used to be,” says Kevin McJoynt of Danze, a manufacturer of decorative plumbing faucets and fixtures. “They play an important role in setting the decor and focal points of any kitchen.”

While a contractor is recommended for most of these projects, make sure you’re involved in exploring the options that will help you use this space as smart as possible. (ARA) Join the Conversation: Go to www.facebook.com/ pages/LifeandHomes-CNY to leave your thoughts on this and other articles.

Upgrading the kitchen is on many homeowners’ “to do” list. And for good reason. A minor kitchen remodel ranks fourth on the list of the top 10 home improvement projects that deliver return on investment, according to Remodeling magazine’s 2010-11 Cost vs. Value Report.

The survey, conducted online last month, asked respondents whether they plan to buy or sell real estate in the coming year. Nearly two out of three or 64% said they planned on either buying or selling.

Only 36% said they did not.

After five years of slow home sales across the nation and the weakest housing market since at least the Great Depression, buyer demand has reached new levels. Record low all-time mortgage rates coupled with lower home prices and more foreclosures in many areas of the country than have existed in a generation are staging a comeback for the housing market. However, weakness in other sectors of the economy are likely to drag on the market making it difficult for many consumers to purchase a home.

High unemployment and tougher mortgage lending criteria make it impossible for many potential home buyers to make purchases. www.housingpredictor.com - (RealEstateRama)

If time or budget restraints point you in the direction of changing a few basic elements of the kitchen, focus on things that make the most impact. Even a novice do-it-yourself homeowner can complete many of these items on their own:

March

The IRS is working to combat RALs. In 2011 they stopped providing tax preparers with a debt indicator notification which was used by tax preparers to decide which customers to offer a RAL. This move has significantly reduced the amount of RALs given out, but will not completely eliminate them.For additional information you can trust or to find a trustworthy tax preparer, start with bbb.org.

Pent up buyer demand in the real estate market promises that 2012 will provide a major rebound in home sales, according to a new Housing Predictor poll.

But whether you’re in it for the investment, or just to freshen up the space in your home where people spend the most time, a new kitchen look could be a fun, impactful improvement to your house.

Some may start with a weekend project and a $40 can of paint, while others will jump into a $50,000-plus remodel. Either way, one thing is for sure – you can’t go wrong with a beautiful, highly functional kitchen.

Young Homeowners Not Feeling the Love HomeGain.com announced the results of its 2012 Home Ownership Satisfaction Survey. Homeowners were asked whether they were satisfied with owning a home and whether price appreciation or depreciation was a factor. Over 1,400 home owners from across the nation were surveyed.

Overall, 72 percent of surveyed homeowners indicated that they were satisfied with owning a home. 24 percent stated price appreciation as the primary reason for their satisfaction, while seventy-six percent listed other reasons. The most popular responses were pride of ownership, and freedom to control what type of home improvements and upgrades go into their homes.

Sixty-three percent of homeowners who indicated they were unsatisfied with home ownership said that price depreciation was the primary reason.

Of the 37 percent who listed other reasons for being unsatisfied, the most cited responses were the costs of home ownership, including property taxes, homeowner association fees, and maintenance and repairs.

"The HomeGain 2012 National Home Ownership Satisfaction survey shows in spite of declines in the values of homes nationwide, satisfaction among homeowners remain high at 72 percent, with nearly 3 of 4 home owners satisfied with home ownership." said Louis Cammarosano, General Manager of HomeGain. "Of the 28 percent of surveyed homeowners who indicated they were unsatisfied, 63 percent cited price depreciation as the primary reason."

On a regional basis, the highest percentage of homeowner satisfaction was in the Northeast, with a 77 percent satisfaction rate. The Southeast ranked second with 73 percent, followed by the West with 71 percent, and the Midwest with 68 percent. The survey asked when homes were 4

newsShorts purchased, the purchase prices of the homes, the type of homes purchased (short sale, foreclosure, new or existing), and the age groups of the homeowners.

Overall, homeowners who purchased their homes between 3-8 years ago were the least satisfied. Homeowners who purchased their home within the last three years or more than 8 years ago, were the most satisfied.

Homeowners who paid less than $75,000 for their home were the most satisfied, with a 77 percent satisfaction rate. Homeowners who purchased a home for more than $800,000 were the least satisfied, with a 69 percent satisfaction rate.

Those purchasing foreclosed homes or homes in a short sale had the highest home ownership satisfaction rates at 79 percent and 83 percent, respectively. Those who purchased new or existing homes had lower satisfaction rates at 73 percent and 71 percent, respectively. Sixty-seven percent of homeowners who purchased a new home, and 64 percent of homeowners who purchased an existing home, indicated that price depreciation was the primary reason for being unsatisfied.

Homeowners ages 18-25 were the least satisfied with home ownership, with a 45 percent satisfaction rate. This is the only age group to have a satisfaction rate below 50 percent.

Homeowners ages 55-65 were the most satisfied with home ownership, with a 76 percent satisfaction rate. (HomeGain PR)

Easy & Affordable Spring

Weekend Spruce Up Projects When it comes to home improvement, most of us have two “to-do” lists: the things we need to do, such as paint the shutters and clean out gutters, and the list of those we want to do, such as fun and easy projects that add visual interest or practical enhancements to the outdoors.

Since our budgets for both lists are usually limited, it makes sense to seek out projects that are easy, affordable and that create the most impact in a short amount of time. Spring outdoor projects often show up on both lists. Upgrades can provide a welcoming retreat for your family, or can improve your home’s marketability and appeal to potential buyers when it comes time to sell.

Fortunately, it’s easy to find simple projects that take only a weekend and a modest budget to accomplish.

“Adding elements like planter boxes and raised garden beds is a great way of creating impact without a huge commitment of time,” says home improvement expert Mark Clement, co-host of “My Fix it Up Life” which airs nationally, on iTunes, Blog Talk Radio and at MyFixitUpLife.com Clement offers some easy tips to help guide weekend projects that anyone can build: Raised bed gardens.

are extremely functional, they can also add style to your yard and garden.

“By carefully selecting the right materials, your garden bed will last longer and look better.

Western Red Cedar is a good choice because it is easy to work with, rot-resistant, and it ages beautifully and maintains its shape and strength over the years, even when exposed to extreme weather,” Clement adds.

Window and planter boxes. An easy and fun green project, wood planter boxes can be built in an afternoon. Whether arranged in a group or hung as window boxes, they instantly add a warm texture and welcoming touch to your front porch or backyard deck when filled with foliage.

platforms, or front door arbors to backyard gazebos, gather friends to help assemble projects that create new spaces and places to entertain or dress up your outdoors.

Power washing your deck, play equipment and even your furniture is also an easy, low-commitment, low-cost way to spruce up your outdoor environment. You can buy or rent a power-washer and accomplish the job in a day. Clement does advise to carefully follow the manufacturers’ instructions when using a power-washer, as too much pressure can cause damage. “If used properly, it will brighten up the space like you wouldn’t believe,” he adds. “If you’re really ambitious, add a clear finish or dark-colored stain to your wood deck and the neighbors will think it’s brand new.”

“Even if you’ve never built a box, you can create a classic look by adding a bit of thin trim to the top and bottom of the box,” Clement says. “You can also buy wooden brackets to support the window box for a more traditional look.”

Finally, Clement’s top tip this spring is simple: Have fun. Share your experience and project photo with friends and family via Real Cedar’s Facebook page.

Simple structures. For those looking to tackle a bigger project, invite friends over for a do-ityourself project party. From small decks to bbq

Your Legacy of Giving: Review Your Beneficiary Lists Thrivent Financial for Lutherans offers these tips to help get you started on a beneficiary review.

Your estate: for beneficiaries only One of the most common mistakes people make is failing to update the beneficiary designations on financial contracts to coordinate with their will and other estate plan documents. Beneficiary designations supersede bequests made in a will.

Your intentions for giving your estate may be at risk if your designations are not kept up to date.

Life insurance and financial services companies can distribute money only to the designated beneficiaries. Life events make it necessary to update your designations from time to time. If your beneficiary moves, you should update their

Choose the Right

Homeowner’s Insurance

for Your Lifestyle

Are you a first-time home buyer? An established homeowner?

An empty nester? Whatever stage of life you’re in, it pays to make sure you have the right insurance - and you’re not paying for coverage you don’t need.

Homeowner policies can be customized to fit to your lifestyle, so you’re not automatically paying for coverage on home upgrades you don’t have, such as security systems, expensive jewelry or antique collections, says Charles Valinotti, senior vice president with insurer QBE. He says regardless of lifestyle stage, there’s one type of coverage everyone should have - insurance to replace possessions in their homes. “If the home is destroyed, contents will be replaced at today’s value.”

Here’s a summary of other essential insurance coverage to fit your lifestyle:

Central New York

When you’re new to home-buying You’ve closed the deal on your biggest purchase yet and you need sufficient protection, even though you don’t have many belongings. You’ll need insurance for the structure of your home, as well as against common disasters, such as fire, severe storms, vandalism and theft. Extra liability

insurance is a good idea in the event someone is hurt in your home.

“Remember to add coverage as you make improvements costing more than $5,000 or add TVs, computers, stereos and furniture to your home’s inventory,” says Valinotti.

When you’re an established homeowner You’ve moved into a home that fits your family’s needs and is filled with belongings you’ve acquired - such as family heirlooms, artwork and expensive jewelry or rugs - that typically aren’t covered by a basic homeowner’s policy. Make a home inventory video to document your personal property and keep the video in a safe place away from your home, like in a bank safety deposit box.

“Established homeowners should consider buying an insurance policy ‘floater’ or ‘rider’ to cover these special items,” Valinotti says.

When you’re an empty nester Not only have your children moved out to work or attend school, you’ve scaled down your lifestyle.

Valinotti suggests that now is the time to reassess the value of your home and your possessions. “If your children have taken their things with them, such as furniture, laptops or televisions, you may need less coverage than you did before,” he says.

Thinking about starting a home business now that the kids are gone? If you work at home, you may need a supplemental liability policy that covers your work-related activities. If you decide that you’re finished with your homeowner responsibilities and want to rent an apartment or condominium, remember: You still need insurance coverage.

Valinotti recommends talking with your insurance agent about what protection is essential for your specific stage of life. “That way, you’ll be sure to have enough coverage to return to your current lifestyle should you experience a major loss,” he says. (ARA)
