New home, new pool Can your house and pool be packaged into one mortgage?

By David M. Brown

W

hen buying your new home, you may want to install a new pool at the same time.

This offers numerous advantages. For one, access to your yard is much easier for the contractor. That means larger equipment can be used which can bring down the cost to dig, said Lori Anderson, director of public relations for Blandford Homes. In addition, pool construction for the most part can be done prior to the installation of front yard landscaping.

“Having crews in your backyard for several months can be intrusive,” she said.

Payment options You can pay for the pool in cash, apply for a separate loan or request that it be wrapped into your mortgage.

If you roll the pool cost into the mortgage, your builder combines the costs into the contract price and normal financing options apply, said Steve Howard, mortgage branch manager for the Phoenix office of Guardian Mortgage.

Luxury homebuilder Toll Brothers does this with most buyers at its Valley communities such as Adero Canyon in Fountain Hills, Boulder Ranch in Scottsdale and Calliandra Estates in Gilbert.

“You can finance your pool and use a preferred vendor such as Creative Environments and have it [the pool] complete when you move into your new home,” said Kevin Rosinski, senior division vice president in Arizona for Toll Brothers.

However, some builders might not want to include pools in their scope, Howard

“You can finance your pool … and have it complete when you move into your new home.”

—Kevin Rosinski, Toll Brothers

said, noting that some do not want the responsibility for the work-quality of an independent contractor because this can create liability for home-warranty issues.

Home valuation Another hurdle is that your home lender may or may not allow a separate contract to be completed for pool construction at the same time as house construction.

The large cost of a pool increases your total indebtedness often exceeding what your lender estimates is warranted. The cost of the pool may not dollar-for-dollar increase the value of the home based on an appraiser’s evaluation.

“Some lenders allow the value of the pool to be included in the overall appraisal depending if the pool is completed before or after the loan closes,” Howard said.

Allowing the pool to be completed after closing and using the future appraised value is a “subject-to” valuation.

Mortgage financing Fannie Mae offers financing to include a pool in the purchase price of a home; this is known as a HomeStyle Mortgage.

The maximum loan amount in Arizona and many other parts of the country is $484,350 with Fannie Mae. Jumbo financing (more than $484,350) may also allow financing the pool into the acquisition price. But if the pool is to be completed post-closing, many lenders require a hold-back of 1.5 times the pool cost, e.g., $75,000 on a $50,000 pool.

“The lender will hold the cost of the pool in escrow and require an additional 50 percent of the bid to be deposited until the pool is completed,” Howard said.

Provided by the homeowner or pool builder, the hold-back provides assurance to the lender that the pool will be

completed on-schedule and on-budget as the funds are held until the work is completed. “The pool company is normally not paid until the work is completed so they are motivated to complete the project as quickly as possible,” Howard said.

Alternatives Some alternatives Howard suggested include inquiring about a home equity line of credit or a fixed second [mortgage] after acquiring the home if you have the equity to finance the pool based on current value.

Pool companies may also offer financing options. Another path: Put less money down and use this cash to construct the pool after closing. Or ask your lender about a combo mortgage uniting a first and second mortgage.

“A favorite shutter material for us has been an engineered composite wood shutter.”

whereas you have air penetrating on the sides of a blind.” Because cellular shades mount from the top of a window rather than the side, and you can add blackout material to the back of the shade, they’re often ideal for bedrooms because they can block out nearly all light if so desired.

Homeowners have a lot to choose from when it comes to window treatments

By Debra Gelbart

T

wo local window covering retailers say that most folks these days are choosing window coverings that are not only functional but contemporary in style.

Shutters and shades That means drapes, curtains and vertical blinds are selected less often these days.

“Mostly what we get asked about are plantation shutters, motorized roller shades for sliding glass doors or larger openings, and cellular honeycomb shades (that have a pleated fabric) to insulate windows from heat,” said Rod DiGiovanni, co-owner with his wife Katy of New West Shutter and Blind in Scottsdale. “The newest trend is motorization of window coverings that you control either through a remote or through your phone,” he said.

Shutters can provide “superior sun and heat block, resulting in improved energy efficiency,” said Kevin Little, co-owner with his wife Connie of Shutter Envy in Gilbert. “A favorite shutter material for us has been an engineered composite wood shutter. Composite wood materials are extremely durable with our temperature extremes, resisting warping and color

Many new-home buyers purchase window coverings for their new home through their builder’s design center, but many choose to wait until after they move in. fading. And composite wood shutters are often available at a lower price-point than other shutter materials.”

Little agreed that roller shades and cellular shades are popular. “Cellular shades offer virtually 100 percent window views when fully open,” he said. “When fully closed they provide privacy and very good energy efficiency. Cellular shades are offered in many color and fabric choices including light-filtering and roomdarkening options.”

Roller shades are also offered in a variety of color and opacity options “to complement every decorating style,” Little said. “They’re also good solutions for the

larger sliding patio doors being installed by many new-home builders.”

Vertical blinds vs shutters DiGiovanni points out that just because vertical blinds are no longer among the most popular selections, that doesn’t mean they’re unpopular. “Vertical blinds are still a sought-after product,” he said, “because they last a long time, they’re relatively inexpensive and they work well on sliding doors and other large openings.”

But shutters are better insulators than blinds, DiGiovanni said. “Shutters have a frame all the way around that creates a pocket to protect from the heat and cold

Wooden and faux-wooden blinds Wooden blinds and/or faux-wooden blinds can be a good complement to plantation shutters if you don’t want to put shutters on every window. “Both shutters and wooden blinds are horizontal louvered products that allow different light adjustments,” DiGiovanni said.

Faux-wooden blinds made of high-quality vinyl can cost up to 40 percent less than plantation shutters, he said.

Rod said before he and Katy recommend a window treatment they’ll try to determine what the customer is trying to accomplish with the window covering. For example: do they want complete privacy when the window covering is closed or do they want to be able to see through it a bit with a screen-type material?

Prices vary Vertical blinds and faux blinds are the most budget-friendly, DiGiovanni said.

For those products, you can expect to spend between $1,200 and $2,000 for a home with about 10 windows. Wooden blinds and cellular shades can be similar in price for a mid-range budget, he said. For those products, he said to expect to spend between $3,000 and $6,000 to cover about 10 windows.

Shutters and motorized roller shades can cost between $4,000 and $10,000 for a small home, he said. Black-out material generally adds about 20 percent to the price for each window covering where it’s included, he said.

With a huge selection of quick move-in homes that include beautiful upgrades and the latest energy-saving features, you are certain to find the ideal home for you and your family.

“You’ll want to add a water treatment loop because most tankless water heater manufacturers require this so their units perform at maximum levels and will last beyond the warranty period.”

On-demand water heaters Avoid cold showers in your new home

A

—Linda Stanfield, Stampede Plumbing

By David M. Brown

n increasing number of homebuyers are considering tankless water heaters when building a new home especially if they have a large family or regularly host guests. Unlike traditional units, tankless versions heat water on demand and can be conveniently powered by natural gas, electricity or propane.

“Tankless, or on-demand, water heaters typically take up less space, have no storage or a small storage tank,” said Carl Bartoli, director of operations for Phoenixbased Donley Service Center.

Companies are offering two varieties: a tankless product that heats water on demand without storage and another that has a small storage tank that helps provide constant hot water for a homeowner needing a large volume, he said.

Tankless units offer flexibility, too.

“They can be placed in other areas of the home like outside or in a cabinet in the garage,” said Linda Stanfield, owner of Chandler-based Stampede Plumbing.

But they do last much longer — sometimes three times the life of standard water heaters, Stanfield said. She added: “Like traditional water heaters their life also depends on maintenance and outside factors like the water hardness being run through the heater.”

Another possible cost: new connections to the plumbing system in the house which can be avoided if the unit goes in with the home construction. This is true as well for the gas, electrical and water lines that connect to the tankless system, Stanfield said.

“Tankless, or on-demand, water heaters typically take up less space, have no storage or a small storage tank.”

—Carl Bartoli, Donley Service Center

In addition, tankless water heaters have options such as internal recirculating pumps to allow hot water to arrive at faucets quicker, she said. These options also have costs that should be considered.

Energy- and water-efficiency They are also more energy-efficient, in fact, approximately 24 to 34 percent more than tank units, Bartoli said.

“Your water-efficiency will depend on how you use yours because there is an endless amount of hot water available,” Stanfield explained. “Some people will actually use more hot water then they did before.”

Standard vs optional Some new-home builders provide tankless units as a standard feature, others offer them as an option, while still others do not offer them either as standard or optional. If you want to add one after your home is built, you’ll have to arrange independently with a contractor since most builders won’t allow other contractors on the property while they are building, Stanfield said.

Pricey but longer-lasting These units are an investment, though.

A tankless water heater can cost three to four times more than a conventional one, Bartoli said.

our new home is built. But what about your new landscaping?

Turf is pretty but it’s highmaintenance: mowing, watering, thatching, reseeding, then doing that again — and again and again.

Xeriscaping can provide greenery and color — but with much less long-term toil, and in our desert climate, much less water usage, too.

They are: • Practice sound planning and design.

Understand the characteristics of your yard, its drainage, sun exposure, soil types and wind effects.

• Eliminate or limit lawn areas.

• Plant water-efficient plants, not necessarily native plants, although they tend to be better adapted to the regional climate.

• Install an efficient irrigation system with programming and a rain monitor.

• Improve your soil by tilling and adding organic matter to improve deep-water penetration and moisture retention.

Xeriscape definition Adapted from Merriam-Webster Xeros is the Greek word for ‘dry’. In the early 1980s, the adjective was used to

all flower in the spring and fall. “If you want some really vibrant color in the fall, try the Chinese pistache,” he said. “Its leaves turn a vibrant red in fall and shed in the winter.”

Condos.

Townhomes.

Cluster homes.

Villas.

Whatever you call them, rightsize living is definitely taking off in the Valley of the Sun. From luxury high-rises to lock-and-leave villas to apartment-style condos, this lifestyle scene appeals to a wide-ranging demographic including Millennials, parents looking for a pad for their kids in college, second-home buyers, first-time buyers, last-time buyers, investors and more.

To help you navigate this market, NewHomecentral will periodically feature editorial related to the condo lifestyle, whether that’s financing, space-saving features, community amenities, etc.

Enjoy!

any condos offer smaller floor plans than singlefamily homes making them great choices for first-time buyers, empty-nesters and downsizers. And here’s a secret from the pros: making a smaller space live and feel larger often involves something as simple as paint and color. However, if you select a color that’s too dark, a room can look smaller; if you choose a hue that’s too light, the room can lose a sense of character and definition.

Accent colors add interest “An accent color on three walls in a room will define the space and create a visual separation from the adjacent room,” said Scottsdale interior designer Lauren Rosenberg, owner of LR-ID Lauren Rosenberg Interior Design.

“If you’re concerned about too much bold color, choose a color with less intensity.”

Amy Williams, Arizona regional design center manager for Interior Logic Group, said that accent colors can be modified from room to room.

For example, if your neutral is taupe and your accents are blue and yellow “you can go navy and gold in the living room but lighten up to bluish-gray and lemon in a bedroom,” she said.

Q

What are some energyefficient features in condos?

Finish is important The finish of paint is a key consideration, too, Williams said. A flat finish will give a room a smooth flawless look but can be difficult to clean if a stain or dirt appears, Rosenberg said. But you can achieve a similar flawless look with a satin finish and it will be easier to clean than a flat or eggshell finish. A semi-gloss finish will be even easier to clean but will make any imperfections in the drywall underneath the paint more evident, Williams said.

Many industry experts recommend an eggshell or satin finish for living areas and bedrooms and a semi-gloss finish for the kitchen and bathrooms.

Choose what you love “It’s important to select colors for your home that resonate most with you,” Rosenberg said. “The colors we love are the colors we will be happiest living with in our home.”

A

It’s important that their ducts are sealed and insulated and the condo itself is well-insulated. The space should have a properly sized HVAC unit; look for at least a 14 SEER rating. Windows should have a high-efficiency rating for heat rejection. In many cases, [in a condo] you have fewer exterior walls that face the elements because it’s attached to other units and takes advantage of this for insulation. Also, newer homes will have dual-pane windows as well as other efficiency upgrades.

Q

What should a buyer ask the condo builder regarding energy-efficiency?

A

Ask about the depth of the insulation.

This is rated as an R-factor; the higher the number, the fuller the protection. Also ask if the builder followed International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) in regard to energy efficiency. The IECC sets standards for the mechanical, lighting, water and heating systems in homes and businesses. Ask your builder if any extra measures beyond code were incorporated to make the home efficient.

A

They want to make sure they are paying their bills on time with no late payments. The length of time since the derogatory event will be a determining factor as well.

This depends on the loan product, down-payment and credit scores.

The minimum wait-period ranges from two years to seven years.

Is an FHA-backed mortgage the only way to go?

No, but each loan product has a different minimum wait-period. FHA and VA loans have the shortest waitperiod.

Many people have gone through a short-sale or foreclosure and would like to enter the homebuying market again. How long do they have to wait?

NW

Will they be subject to rate disadvantages?

Q A

What other advice do you have?

I would highly recommend you start the loan process, complete a loan application and review your credit report with a skilled mortgage loan officer.

Together you can develop a plan on what loan product is best for you and what steps need to be taken in order to get the best interest rate.

Robson Resort Communities

Robson Ranch

By Robson Communities, Inc. Situated halfway between Phoenix and Tucson in the Casa Grande area, Robson Ranch offers several home designs plus resort-style amenities. This 55+ community includes championship golf, a restaurant, fitness center, outdoor and indoor pools, 16 pickleball courts, tennis, a dog park and more. The community is recognized as one of the top masterplanned communities in the country by Where to Retire magazine.

Do people with a mortgage typically pay PITI for the duration of their loan or is it possible for the homeowner to pay some of these things on their own?

SE

Number of homes: 1,100 Prices: From the low $200s Address: 5687 N. Robson Blvd., Eloy Directions: I-10 to Exit 198, Jimmie Kerr Blvd.

Beds/baths: Various Square-footage: 1,236–2,308 sq. ft.

Sales office hours: 9 a.m.–6 p.m. daily Phone: 800-770-7044 Website: Robson.com

You can elect to pay your taxes and insurance on your own in some situations and have your mortgage payment just be for principal and interest on the loan. You do not have the option to pay them on your own when your loan is either insured by FHA or VA or you pay private mortgage insurance. These scenarios require that you include taxes and insurance with your payment.

Q

If someone has a large enough down-payment, can their payment only include the “PI” portion and then they would cover the “TI” on their own?

A

Yes, you can elect not to include taxes and insurance in your payment if you put down enough on the purchase which is generally 20 percent or greater. This removes private mortgage insurance (that prefers you include taxes and insurance in your payment) and usually does not involve FHA or VA financing which also requires tax and insurance impounds.

ive or more bedrooms may sound like too many to some buyers, but home plans with a bevy of bedrooms are actually quite popular.

Indeed, at least three homebuilders in the Valley say these floor plans consistently sell well.

“It’s community-specific, but when we offer homes with five or more bedrooms, they sell,” said Matt Trinklein, regional sales manager for Toll Brothers. “At The Crossings at Meridian (in Queen Creek), we offer the Savannah model with six bedrooms and it’s the most popular plan.

The majority of the plans we offer have three bedrooms but about 80 percent of them have options to have six bedrooms if needed. Our Avanti Plan at Toll Brothers at The Meadows in Peoria has options for seven bedrooms.”

Families and flexibility “We go all the way up to nine bedrooms on some plans,” said Dennis Webb, vice president of operations for Fulton Homes.

“It’s a lot easier to interest someone in a home with more bedrooms than they need compared to a home with fewer bedrooms than the buyer is looking for. There’s always something that can be done with

an extra bedroom such as converting it to an office, den, flex room or craft room.”

“We see a lot of families in need of fivebedroom homes,” said Ivy Coppo, a sales associate with Blandford Homes, adding that sometimes “it’s families combining together with multiple children or parents

moving in with them or just [wanting] the option of having plenty of guest space.”

Many of Blandford’s prospective buyers in the East Valley have large families, Coppo said. “Our A+ schools and A+ locations put our five-bedroom homes in high demand.”

Some of Blandford’s floor plans offer up to a seven-bedroom option. “We have several floor plans that let you add on a guest suite to the home,” Coppo said, “and also several plans where you can convert a living room or dining room into another bedroom as an option.”

Availability is key “We make it a priority to have those floor plans designed and available in all of the communities where we are currently building new homes,” Webb said. Fulton Homes offers 10 models in its four communities in Gilbert, Maricopa and Queen Creek that can accommodate more than five bedrooms, he added. “That’s definitely enough to get a feel for the size of those larger homes in each of our communities.”

“We create a lifestyle preview of what each day could look like based on someone’s interests.”

—Hal Looney, Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities/Trilogy

Dave Cruz via Vistancia

“The first day of our two-day Tour of Homes event is hosted in conjunction with the Estrella Lakeside Farmers Market,” Olson [of Newland Communities] added. “Potential residents can find a new home and shop local goods all at the same time.”

“With 50-plus miles of hiking trails, 40 parks and two community lakes, the cooler fall weather is the perfect time for home-shoppers to experience Estrella’s active outdoor lifestyle.”

—William Olson, Newland Communities

“We create a lifestyle preview of what each day could look like based on someone’s interests — we feel it’s important to showcase how those daily moments can be enjoyed in the home or the resort club,” Looney [of Shea Homes Active Lifestyle Communities/Trilogy] said. “We’ve had [events] where we invite local artists and restaurants as well as resident-owned businesses. At many of our showcases we feature previews of the amenity spaces and additional services residents can enjoy.”

For example, Looney said, the executive chef from the signature restaurant onsite will host cooking demonstrations in a home’s kitchen and golf instructors will host putting challenges or mini lessons.

“Our goal is for guests to gain knowledge about their home options while having fun and building relationships within the community prior to purchasing.”

A great time of year Autumn is an ideal time for communityand homebuilder-hosted events, Hammons [of Vistancia] said. “Phoenix sees a rise in winter visitors in the fall, kids are back in school and it’s before the hustle and bustle of the holidays.” Fall is also filled with outdoor activities for people of all ages, he said, which allows a community “to showcase the lifestyle experience both in the community and the surrounding area.”
