Table of Contents

When we travel to my wife's hometown in PA, we are reminded of how many brick houses populate that area compared to our CNY region. It's common to see street after street of brick homes since clay is abundant in that region of PA and there's always been plenty of coal or natural gas to fire it. "Because of its weight, shipping brick can be expensive, making the product less affordable in areas of the country that are not close to brick plants," explains architect Joel Cluskey. Having manufacturing plants in that vicinity has historically made brick masonry construction a more viable option.

With few exceptions, cost is generally a determining factor when choosing materials for construction and remodeling projects.

Raw material prices appear to be leveling off after a few years of eye-popping, wallet-draining increases and while costs typically ebb and flow seasonally, prices aren't expected to go back to pre-pandemic prices - at least this year.

If home improvement projects are on your radar, industry experts say it will likely be in your best interest to work on smaller projects and projects with higher Return On Investment (ROI) values while you save and plan for larger projects. Suggestions include kitchen updates, interior painting, replacing hardware throughout the home, landscaping, and other budget-friendly updates. Small changes make a large difference.

Whether you're looking to put your home on the market or you simply want to add beauty and value to your home or real estate investment properties this year, there are plenty of ways to make that happen while keeping your budget in mind. Look through this issue or visit us at LifeandHomes.com to find local businesses and professionals ready to help with all your home-related needs.

They can help keep you on track and budget.

Why Did My

Monthly Mortgage Payment Change?

There are several reasons why your monthly mortgage payment may have changed. Some examples include: You have an adjustable rate mortgage (ARM) and the interest rate changed. Check the type of mortgage you have. Some homeowners believe that they have a fixed-rate mortgage loan, when their loan actually includes an adjustable-rate or some other feature that can cause their interest rate and payment to change.

You have an interest-only or pay-option loan and you are starting to pay principal. With these loans, you can postpone making principal payments for a while. That means that for a period of time you are only paying off the interest that’s accumulating on the amount you borrowed to pay for your home. Eventually, you have to start paying principal, or the actual amount you owe on the home, and that will make the monthly payments go up.

You have an escrow account to pay for property taxes or homeowners insurance premiums, and your property taxes or homeowners insurance premiums went up. Check your monthly mortgage statement. If your monthly mortgage payment includes the amount you have to pay into your escrow account, then your payment will also go up if your taxes or premiums go up.

You have a decrease in your interest rate or your escrow payments. It could also be because you stopped paying for private mortgage insurance.

If you have private mortgage insurance, your payments may change once you are able to and do cancel the insurance.

You were charged new fees. Your servicer may have charged you fees that increased your monthly payment. Check your monthly mortgage statement or any correspondence you recently received from your lender or servicer.

It’s also possible that your mortgage servicer simply made a mistake. If you think your servicer made a mistake, first call your servicer to check.

While on the phone, explain the situation to the servicer. Ask for a corrected statement. Also, ask for a reference number and the name of the person you are talking to, and take detailed notes on what you talked about and the date of the call, so you can keep track for your records.

If your servicer doesn’t fix the problem over the phone, send a notice of error to your servicer explaining why you think it made a mistake in calculating your loan payment. Make sure you send the notice to the address your servicer uses for errors and information requests. This address should be listed on your statement or the servicer’s website – it might be different from the address where you send your payments.

If you still don’t understand why your payment changed, you should call your mortgage servicer, and you may also want to send an information request. (consumerfinance.gov)

Signs Your Gas

Water Heater Needs Repair

A gas water heater can be an efficient and cost-effective solution. However, even the best systems can experience problems from time to time. To ensure your home has uninterrupted access to hot water, be aware of the signs that you may need gas water heater repair, say the folks at Curoso Plumbing of Rohnert Park, CA. Fluctuating water temperature: This could indicate that the thermostat is malfunctioning and needs to be adjusted or repaired. With propane water heater, you can get this issue fixed in addition to superior performance and efficiency.

Strange noises coming from the unit: If you hear strange noises from your gas water heater, it's likely

due to sediment buildup in the unit. The sediment can cause undue stress on the system which can lead to additional problems if left unchecked.

Unusual odors: It's not uncommon for a gas water heater to emit some odors when it starts up, but strange and unpleasant odors could indicate a more serious problem. If you notice the odors, make sure you call in an expert plumber to inspect your unit.

Water leaks: If you notice any water leaking from your gas water heater, it's important to call a professional immediately. Depending on the severity of the issue, they may need to replace some internal components or perform other repairs.

Pilot light not lighting: The pilot light is an important part of your gas water heater. If it fails to light, it could be a sign of a gas leak. It's important never to try and repair this yourself but call in an expert immediately for help. (www.curosoplumbing.com / PR.com)

Home Buying

Basics

• Buying a home is a process. Start by making sure you’re ready to buy and figuring out what you can afford.

• Know your loan. Learn about your financing options for buying a home and shop around to get the best deal for you.

• Get help with the home-buying process.

Interview before you hire help and ask for references. Understand what services you will receive and how much they will cost.

• Be sure you can afford the payments before getting a loan. Also, know how much the loan will cost and what will happen if you don't make the payments on time.

To help you prepare to apply for a loan, consider what lenders look for when they decide to loan money.

• Even if someone helps you manage your money, understand the terms of a loan before you commit to it.

Amodio Realty, Inc. Pays it Forward by Giving Back Real Estate Rebate Program Honors Local Heroes

BY RICHARD BARRETT Aug. 2018

Amodio Realty Inc., located in the Town of Lee, wanted to show its appreciation to the military, law enforcement, firefighters, first responders, health care professionals, and teachers for their service to country and community, but wanted to do it in a way that went beyond mere words.

So the small family real estate agency, staffed by Stephen Amodio (Broker/Owner), his wife Betsy (President/Owner), and their daughter, Lucciana, decided to do something extraordinary with their business after learning about Heroes Home Advantage and a courageous woman named Michele Ladd, its founder.

Stephen Amodio, a former Marine whose own family includes many community heroes, heard about Ladd’s noble mission of honoring hometown heroes by offering discounts and rebates on real estate services, and he wanted to get on board.

He did his due diligence first, spending nine months researching and speaking with other realtors nationwide who were already participating.

Amodio Realty, Inc. joined the Heroes Home Advantage program in January of 2017 and is currently working with about a half dozen heroes.

He has closed on several properties already, but explained that it’s not about being pressured to obtain listings, move properties and meet sales quotas. It’s about giving back. He discovered through census tract records that in the tri-county area he exclusively serves, these categories of community heroes when combined comprise 50% of their total population.

As of Januray 2024, Amodio Realty, Inc. now serves 8 counties: Oneida, Herkimer, Madison, Jefferson, Lewis, Oswego, St. Lawrence and Hamilton!

“We can never repay our heroes for their service, but we can honor them with a small token of our appreciation,” Amodio said. “We are looking for opportunities to honor local community heroes. That is our goal.”

Amodio Realty gives 25% of earned commission directly to the hero, (up to $5000 per transaction), when we close on the sale and/or purchase of their residential or commercial property.

“It’s a small gesture in comparison to the their daily sacrifices and service to our community and country,” he said.

He also works closely with a comprehensive, likeminded network of community partners who offer additional rebates and discounts on their related products and services. The savings to heroes when

all is said and done can be thousands of dollars.

As word of mouth about the program spreads, Amodio envisions adding a half-dozen sales staff and expanding his cadre of committed community business partners even further. He graciously welcomes those who respect the program’s mission and embrace its spirit of honoring community heroes for their contributions.

“We’re hungry for more hero partners,” he said. “The door is wide open to virtually any business, but we discourage people from using the program to leverage their business and not follow through on their promises.”

There are no fees involved, no catches, and no restrictions on how Amodio’s rebate can be used. The program is open to all qualified active, retired and volunteer heroes, both buyers and sellers, including first-time home buyers.

Amodio can’t hide his enthusiasm for the program and the people it serves.

“We’re enjoying doing this,” he admitted. “We always get a great reception.”
