CATHERINE REAGOR REAL ESTATE

Big housing groups stress over tax plan

Prospective homebuyers energized by job growth and low mortgage rates struggle to find properties amid a

FADING SUPPLY ALEX VEIGA ASSOCIATED PRESS

Anyone eager to buy a home this spring probably has reasons to feel good. Job growth has been solid. Average pay is rising. And mortgage rates, even after edging up of late, are still near historic lows. And then there’s the bad news: Just try to find a house. The national supply of homes for sale hasn’t been this thin in nearly 20 years. And over the past year, the steepest drop in supply has occurred among homes that are typically most affordable for first-time buyers and in markets where prices have risen sharply. In markets like San Diego, Boston and Seattle, competition for a dwindling supply has escalated along with pressure to offer more money

and accept less favorable terms. “Sellers will have the edge again this year,” said Ralph McLaughlin, chief economist for Trulia, a real estate data provider. “Homebuyers are really going to be scraping the bottom of the barrel as far as housing choice is concerned.” The intensity of the competition this spring has surprised even sellers like Kathleen Mulcahy, a 37-year-old product manager in Seattle. Within a week of listing her one-bedroom, one-bath condo, Mulcahy received 21 offers — all above her asking price of $398,000. Most of the offers came with built-in triggers to automatically rise in case a rival bidder sweetened a bid. In the end, she accepted an offer of $500,000 — all cash. See HOMES, Page 3R

The popular mortgage-deduction tax break isn’t being cut under President Donald Trump’s plan to overhaul the tax system. That seems like a very good thing for homeowners and the housing industry. But the nation’s biggest real-estate groups aren’t celebrating. Proposed tax changes under the new plan, especially doubling the standard deduction, will lead to fewer people buying homes to tap the mortgage deduction, according to the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Home Builders. “Current homeowners could very well see their home’s value plummet and their equity evaporate, while prospective homebuyers will see that dream pushed further out of reach,” said NAR President William Brown in a statement. When a housing advocate group talks about falling home prices, many of us get a little alarmed. Particularly because as Arizona Association of Realtors CEO Michelle Lind told me, “Arizona’s real-estate market has recently recovered from falling home prices, and we do not want to see home values tumble again due to a tax plan that eliminates the tax benefits of homeownership.” The housing industry’s main concern appears to be if the standard deduction is doubled from $6,350 for single people and $12,700 for married couples, fewer people will need to itemize to save money on their taxes and fewer people will buy homes to get the tax break. About 32 million homeowners took the mortgage-tax deduction in 2014, according to the housing groups. I was one of them. “The proposed elimination of itemized deductions for real-estate taxes will make owning a home more expensive for mid- to high earners,” Arizona housing analyst Mike Orr told me. ”Low earners probably did not itemize their deductions in the first place.” He isn’t overly concerned about what the tax changes will do to home values in metro Phoenix. “I doubt that home prices will fall as a result,” he said. He does think under the current Trump tax plan, only people earning more than $200,000 will benefit from the mortgage-interest deduction. Arizona’s typical household earns about $51,500, according to the latest census data. I understand the housing groups’ concern.

CHRISTOPHER COMBS REAL ESTATE Q&A

HELOC in hubby’s name is legal, not enforceable as mortgage against home (HELOC) 10 years ago. We noticed recently that the HELOC is only in my name. Is this HELOC legal? Answer: Yes. Although the HELOC is legal, the HELOC is not enforceable as a mortgage against the home. The reason is that the signatures of both the husband and the wife are re-

quired to mortgage a home owned as community property with right of survivorship. The HELOC is enforceable, however, against any of your sole and separate property. Ten years ago the real estate market was still very strong, and mortgage lenders were breaking many rules in

making as many mortgages to homeowners as possible, as quickly as possible. The result was that there were many careless errors in mortgage lending at that time. Reach real estate attorney Christopher Combs at azrep@combslaw group.com.

“A lot more than I expected,” Mulcahy said. Yet the changed landscape cuts both ways: Facing higher prices and competition herself, Mulcahy has decided for now to put off buying another home. “There’s very little available, and it’s just too expensive right now, so I’m going to wait,” she said. “I’ll probably rent for two or three years.” About 1.75 million homes were for sale nationally at the end of February, according to the National Association of Realtors. That’s down 6.4 percent from a year earlier and only slightly up from January, when listings reached their lowest point since the association began tracking them in 1999. All told, the supply of homes for sale has fallen on an annual basis for the past 21 months. Among the factors that have fueled the decline in homes for sale: » Since 2008, the average time homeowners have stayed in their houses before selling has doubled to nearly eight years, according to Attom Data Solutions. » Many homeowners aren’t selling for fear they wouldn’t find a new home they would like and could afford. Some who had locked in ultra-low fixed mortgage rates may be reluctant to take on a new loan at a higher rate. Others may wish to sell but can’t because they own one of the 3.2 million homes worth less than what’s owed on their mortgage. » Some homeowners own other properties they rent out and have little incentive to give up the steady rental income, especially while they’re also benefiting from rising home values. » Investors, who typically keep proper-

ties for disproportionately long periods, own a larger share of houses. Between 2006 and 2016, the share of U.S. singlefamily houses and condos owned by investors averaged around 30 percent, according to Attom, and reached 35 percent last year. Nor are builders replenishing the stock of new homes fast enough. Though the pace of building has been rising, it has yet to make up for years of sluggish construction growth that followed the housing bust. Builders complain that they can’t build more homes because of a lack of ready-to-build land, costly regulations and a chronic shortage of skilled construction workers. “We’re building homes now at a 65 percent of the rate we have historically,”

McLaughlin said. “The long-term solution to this scenario is building new homes.” Despite the scant supply, U.S. home sales are expected to rise this year, economists say. Fueled by job growth, pay raises and still-low loan rates — and perhaps fearful of being left out as more homes are snapped up and prices rise further — many people are looking to buy. Sales of previously occupied U.S. homes surged 5.4 percent in February from a year earlier, according to the NAR. In January 2016, 16.5 percent of the homes on the market were sold. This January, it was 19 percent, according to Trulia. As prices have risen in response, so have the financial obstacles to homeownership. The median sales price has surged 7.7

percent from a year ago to $228,400, more than double the pace of average pay gains. And qualifying for increasingly expensive homes will become even harder should mortgage rates continue to rise this year, as many economists predict. The average rate on a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage recently hit 4.1 percent; last year, it averaged 3.65. The homes that are on the market are less affordable to a growing proportion of the population, according to research from Realtor.com. Entry-level buyers will likely have the most difficulty finding a home they can afford this spring. Nationally, the supply of entry-level homes for sale has declined the most from a year ago — down 8.7 percent in the first quarter, according to Trulia. The supply of move-up homes is down 7.9 percent. By contrast, the supply of high-end homes has slipped just 1.7 percent from a year ago. The coastal markets are among the tightest, reflecting years of declines in homes for sale. Seattle’s inventory is 20 percent lower than it was in the first three months of last year. It’s down 66 percent since 2012, according to Trulia. But even many inland markets have only a limited supply of homes for sale. Three such metro areas experienced the sharpest drop in supply over the past year, according to Trulia: Dayton, Ohio (-29 percent); Gary, Indiana (-27.6 percent); and Minneapolis-St. Paul (-24.9 percent). Some areas did buck the trend, including Miami, where inventory jumped this year by more than 43 percent. But even in housing markets where the supply has grown over the past year, prices have risen briskly. Take Denver. Its inventory was up 6.5 percent in the first quarter. Yet it was still down 61 percent from its 2012 levels. That’s one reason why sellers there are fetching multiple offers.

RENTER’S Legal Q & A 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! AR-0008632096-01

Question: I live in an over 55 community. On spring break, many of the grandchildren are here in Arizona visiting their grandparents. Our HOA CC&R’s restrict the hours children under the age of 18 can use the pool area. The restriction indicates that children are only allowed in the pool from 10am to 12noon and from 4pm to 6pm. Would you consider this discrimination and is restricting the hours legal? Answer: In a community that is not age restricted (55 and over), a pool rule that restricts children from using the pool certain hours of the day is a problem under the federal fair housing laws. Such rules that are not facially neutral have been successfully challenged and invalidated in communities around the country. However, a qualified age-restricted community has something like a “free pass” to discriminate against those who are not age qualified. The age qualification principally applies to occupancy of a home or unit and that the occupants of the units or homes be over the age of 55. This creates an obvious tension between parts of the fair housing laws that protect the rights of active adults living in these types of communities and the laws that protect families with children in regards to housing related issues. In resolving that tension, the law favors active adult community and allows the age restriction with regard to use of the amenities in that community as well. While there really is no reported decision on such rules in age-qualified communities, it would seem that the age-restricted community can lawfully

impose rules restricting children in their use of the common amenities. In what would be unlawful in other communities, the 55 plus community can restrict the children’s use of the pool. A HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development) fair housing publication long ago provided such guidance: The housing community/facility may restrict families with children from beneﬁts of the community, or otherwise treat family households differently than senior households, as long as those actions do not violate any other state or local law. However, the community/facility is not exempt from the provisions of the Act that prohibit discrimination against any resident or potential resident on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, or disability.

AZRentals TOM SIMPLOT RENT SMART

End-of-school-year move doesn’t have to be stressful Next weekend cars, trucks and moving vans will be pulling up outside of dorms and apartment buildings across Arizona. Students will be wrapping up another school year and leaving their dorms rooms behind. For these students, planning the move can be stressful. Many dorms require that students leave within a day or two of completion of their exams. Hundreds will swarm campuses, all with the same goal.

Set a timeline for the move and set an appointment with the Resident Advisor or Manager for your final walk-through. Do your own walk through first to see what needs to be repaired or replaced. Schools and apartment operators will charge their renters fees associated with damaged furniture, flooring, fixtures and more. There’s often a pricing outline of how much will be assessed for damage or removal of items that belong to the owner/operator. Coordinate with your roommates if

you have them. It’s best to review what you expect and how you will cover final fees before you leave for summer break. Dispose of goods and trash responsibly. You can check out ASU’s “Ditch the Dumpster” program to learn more about how you can recycle and upcycle your goods. They have partnered with local nonprofits to take your quality unwanted goods and recycle them to benefit the community. This keeps waste out of landfills and helps individuals and families in need.

Clean up your apartment before you leave. It can be tempting to leave trash or not to do a final cleaning of your place when you are moving. Most college dorms and apartments charge a cleaning fee if you leave a mess. The end of school year comes fast and it can be tough to study for finals and plan for a move at the same time. Planning before the big day will take some of the stress out of this big change. Tom Simplot is president and CEO of the Arizona Multihousing Association.
