CATHERINE REAGOR REAL ESTATE

A ROUGH CUT Trump budget plan would rip into affordable HUD housing A few years ago, I met a resident of Tempe’s Apache ASL Trails apartments built for deaf senior citizens. Using sign language and an interpreter, she told me how much she loved living at the complex next to light rail with other people who understood what it’s like not to be able to hear. Apache ASL won a national award for affordable housing and has become a model for developing homes for people with special needs. Without funding from the Department of Housing and Urban Development, Apache ASL wouldn’t have been built. In Mesa, hundreds of victims of domestic violence and their children have found a safe home at the Autumn House. That safe haven was developed with funds from HUD’s Community Development Block Grant program.

About 30 families with parents or children with disabilities wouldn’t be able to call an affordable-loft apartment complex in Glendale’s Orchard Glen neighborhood home if its developer hadn’t received backing from HUD. And tens of thousands of homeowners across metro Phoenix wouldn’t have been able to buy or at least would have had a much harder time without HUD-funded counseling programs. All the federal programs that helped these people find safe, housing they can afford will be chopped under the current $6 billion proposed cuts for HUD.

Some feel the cuts are ‘nonsense’ To say many Valley housing advocates are in anguish over the potential massive hit to housing See REAGOR, Page 3R

The spring home-buying season is gearing up to be one of the most competitive in recent history, as the shortage of for-sale homes is keeping inventory tight and prices high. Buyers and sellers hoping to be successful this spring should start the process early, according to the 2016 Zillow Group Report on Consumer Housing Trends. Of over 13,000 U.S. residents surveyed, the number one regret for both buyers and sellers was not starting their home search or prepping their home to sell soon enough. U.S. home values across the nation are up 7.2 percent over the past year, and there are three percent fewer homes to choose from than a year ago, according to the January Zillow@ Real Estate Market Reports. “This spring, both buyers and sellers should be prepared for fast-moving sales, intense negotiations, and even bidding wars,” said Jeremy Wacksman, Zillow Group chief marketing officer. “Home shoppers and sellers are motivated to become more strategic and knowledgeable about what’s happening in their neighborhood. Understanding whether you are in a buyer’s or a seller’s environment will help you manage your expectations and will give you insight into what you’re going to need to bring to the table in order to close the deal.” The Zillow Group Report on Consumer Housing Trends reveal strategies for how to buy and sell in today’s highly competitive market.

Buyers » Keep your options open. More than half (52 percent) of buyers said they also considered renting, and more than one third (37 percent) of first-time buyers seriously considered continuing to rent. Savvy shoppers will have a Plan B in place, hoping to buy if it works out, but willing to sign a lease for a home if they don’t make a deal by the time they need to move. » Be realistic with your budget. Once you set it, stick to it: first-time home buyers are more likely to exceed their budget than repeat buyers (39 percent vs 26. Before you meet with a lender to determine how much mortgage you’ll be approved for, take a good look at your individual finances and spending preferences to determine the monthly payment range that you feel you can comfortably afford.

CHRISTOPHER COMBS

Boyfriend is just an implied tenant, and can be evicted Question: Two years ago our daughter’s boyfriend moved into the Gilbert home our daughter has owned since 2011. Her boyfriend gets drunk all the time, is a womanizer, and abuses both my daughter and her two young children.

The police have been called but do nothing. Our daughter’s boyfriend refuses to move out and says that, because he has lived in the home more than two years, he and our daughter have an equal right to live in the home. Is that correct? Answer: No. Your daughter is the

owner of the home, and her boyfriend is only an implied month-to-month tenant in the home. This implied month-to-month tenancy can be terminated upon a 30-day written notice of termination from your daughter to her boyfriend. If her boyfriend has not moved out after this 30day written notice, your daughter can

file an eviction lawsuit. If your daughter and her two young children are being abused, however, a court can issue a protective order to require the boyfriend to immediately move out of the home. Reach attorney Christopher Combs at azrep@combslawgroup.com.

is an understatement. “The HUD cuts will devastate affordable housing and other much-needed housing aid in Arizona,” Patricia Garcia Duarte, CEO of Phoenix-based housing non-profit Trellis, told me from Washington, where she is fighting against the HUD cuts. She also points out that the many projects built with HUD money aren’t entirely funded by the federal government. Much of HUD’s funding is leveraged with more in private funds to develop affordable housing. The federal money

Plan to meet a few lenders four to six months ahead of when you’re planning to buy to ensure you can make a competitive offer quickly when you find your dream home. The majority (82 percent) of buyers get pre-approved, with 77 percent getting pre-approval from a lender before finding a home on which they are interested in placing an offer. » Find an agent with a winning track record. Take the time to find an agent who has expertise in fast negotiation, leveraging escalation clauses, and win-

stakes a project or gives developers a tax credit, so they can get a loan or make enough on a project so it’s feasible to build. After the budget cuts were announced last week, Arizona Republic/azcentral reporters Laura Gómez and Maria Polletta canvassed the Valley for reactions from the cities that count on the HUD funding to help residents. Tempe Mayor Mark Mitchell told Polletta, who covers diversity, that neither Apache ASL nor the affordable-housing community for veterans and their families called Valor on Eighth would be there without HUD funding. Arizona and 15 cities and counties across the state get about $60 million a year from the Community Development Block program. The funding was set up to be flexible, so a community can use it

for what its residents need most. Cities in the northeastern U.S. were able to use Community Development Block funds to clean up and repair buildings after deadly Hurricane Sandy in 2012. But most often, the money is spent on building affordable housing, community centers and shelters as well as rehabbing rundown neighborhoods. The Trump administration’s budget document justified the HUD cuts with a statement saying states and cities are in a better position to serve their communities. Tolleson Mayor Anna Tovar told Gómez the rationale behind the HUD cuts is “nonsense.” I think the residents of Apache ASL and the many other housing development helped by HUD might agree.

Make sure your preferred method - and frequency of communication matches that of your agent.

Many cities have a magic window in the spring when homes have a higher likelihood of selling quickly for more money. » Work with an agent from the start. The vast majority (90 percent) of sellers who sold quickly and for more than list price worked with an agent, and two out of three (58 percent) began working with an agent at the very beginning of their selling journey. » Pay attention to your online curb appeal. The majority of buyers begin their search online. Sellers who sold their home for more than list price made imagery and home information available online: 48 percent had professional photos taken of the home, 30 percent shot video footage and 21 percent even shot

drone footage. Zillow’s video walkthroughs gives sellers an easy way to show home features that are hard to capture in photos. » Home improvements can be a worthwhile investment. Sellers who fetched above list price tackled home improvement before listing their home, being 50 percent more likely to take on a large project like modifying an existing home plan and 20 percent more likely to renovate a kitchen than the average seller. » Don’t be afraid to try again. In many markets, nearly half of listing views occur in the first week the home is on the market. Twenty-six percent of those who sold above list price took their home off the market once to adjust the sales price, opting to start anew rather than letting the home languish on the market with minimal activity.

RENTER’S Legal Q & A Question: I recently had a major stroke Attention property managers and owners! The Arizona Multi housing Association invites you to attend one of the monthly Apartment Coalition meetings located throughout the valley. We currently offer 8 coalitions in the Phoenix-metropolitan area including: Central Phoenix Canyon Corridor (I-17) North Phoenix Glendale

Mesa Maryvale West Valley Tempe

The mission of these coalitions is to lay a foundation of community awareness & involvement by providing educational meetings and networking to better address the needs of your residents as well as provide professional development. By attending these monthly meetings you’ll ﬁnd: Information of general interest to all involved in managing properties as well as speciﬁc information pertinent to the location of your property Insight from guest speakers on how to improve your property’s performance Information from local police on what’s happening in your area Free Q&A with AMA Member attorneys Legislative updates that affect property owners and managers Networking opportunities to support you in your community FREE LUNCH

Whether you own or manage, you CANNOT afford to miss these Apartment Coalition meetings. ALL area owners and managers are welcome to attend. For more information, contact Stephanie Garcia at sgarcia@azama.org to ﬁnd out about the next meeting in your area!

and need extra assistance that my spouse cannot give me. We would like to have a caregiver move in for six months to help out, but the occupancy limit at my apartment community is two per bedroom and we currently live in a one bedroom. Does my landlord have to allow the caregiver to move in? Answer: Yes, provided that you are really in need of live-in care and that is the true purpose of the caregiver. Fair housing laws say it is unlawful discrimination to refuse to waive a rule when reasonable and necessary to accommodate the needs of a handicapped resident. Suffering the consequences of a major stroke is a handicap. It is common for persons recovering from strokes to need live-in care. Thus, your landlord needs to make an exception to your occupancy limit and allow the caregiver to temporarily move in. If the landlord has a reasonable doubt as to the existence of the handicap or the need for a caregiver, he can normally request a doctor’s letter. But if the conditions are obvious, making such a request itself would violate fair housing laws.

AZRentals TOM SIMPLOT RENT SMART

Spring cleaning and checkups can help prevent fires Preventing a fire in your home can be as easy as integrating a couple of cleaning tips into your spring cleaning routine. Clean out the lint trap in your dryer. Collected lint can spark a fire and the lint trap, and the hose, need to be cleared regularly. If your community includes a shared laundry space, the machines should be serviced regularly and cleared of lint in the trap and in the hose. If they are not, tell the manager.

Check the batteries in your smoke alarms. Test your alarm and make sure it’s working and that it’s loud enough to alert you to any dangers. These batteries are the equivalent of changing a light bulb: they are your responsibility. Do a quick kitchen audit. Keeping your stove clear of paper products or towels could prevent a fire. Every kitchen should have a working fire extinguisher too. Review your safety plan with the family. Every apartment community

will have a safety exit plan and it’s smart to review how to escape at least once a year, especially if you have children. Unplug your appliances when they are not being used. From the hairdryer or curling iron to the toaster, you can unplug machines when they aren’t in use. Older appliances may have frayed cords that need to be replaced or repaired. Buy surge protectors. A surge protector can keep a fuse from blowing, and help to manage how many appliances are plugged into one outlet. Overloading out-

lets could lead to an electrical fire. Clean the barbecue before you turn it on. Baked on bits on the grill could lead to a fire if not properly cleaned. You need to scrape the grates and take the time to clear debris out of the bottom of the grill too. If you are allowed to have a propane grill or charcoal grill, be especially careful with its operation and storage. Tom Simplot is president and CEO of the Arizona Multihousing Association.
