’Tis the Season for Saving As Americans embark on another shopping season, more are showing a focus on saving and improving their financial situation

H

oliday saving season?

For the third year in a row, Americans’ top financial priority is catching up on bills or keeping current on their living expenses, according to a recent report. The percentage of Americans who claimed their top concern is getting a handle on their bills increased to 41 percent this year, up from 36 percent in 2013 and 32 in 2012.

Catching up on bills was the top priority among all age groups, highest among those ages 50 to 64. Adults age 65+, on the other hand, were the most

likely to say their top financial priority was providing financial assistance to family members or friends, with 15 percent claiming so.

Other top financial concerns cited by the report: • 22 percent of American say paying down debt is a top concern, up from 20 percent in 2013 and just below 23 percent in 2012.

• 17 percent say saving is their top priority, down slightly from 2013 (18 percent) and 2012 (20 percent).

Overall, savings remain a needs-improvement category for Americans, with nearly a

third saying they’re less comfortable with savings now compared to a year ago, while 20 percent said they were more comfortable. Overall, 29 percent of American adults said the need to save more was the main reason for not increasing monthly spending.

About half (51 percent) of Americans say their overall financial situation is about the same as it was a year ago, and more than a quarter (26 percent) say it is better than 12 months ago.

Owners Can Buy Back Foreclosed Properties Homeowners who've been through foreclosure would have the option to buy back their property through Fannie Mae’s or Freddie Mac’s REO inventory at market value under changes the companies' regulator has announced. The Federal Housing Finance Agency would also allow third party purchasers to buy a property on the previous owner’s behalf.

Prior to this new directive, homeowners who have been through foreclosure and want to buy their home back were required to pay the entire amount owed on the mortgage. This requirement similarly applied to anyone buying the home for the benefit of the previous homeowner.

“This is a targeted, but important policy change that should help reduce property vacancies and stabilize home values and neighborhoods,” said FHFA Director Melvin L. Watt. “It expands the number of potential buyers of REO properties and is consistent with the Enterprises’ practice of requiring fair-market value for those properties.”

Mission Statement: The Nor th Puget Sound Association of Realtor s advocates for Realtor s and their clients, pr ovides services to help members prosper, and promotes the protection of property rights.

HEIR-ING OUT THE HOME “Inheriting a home that still has an unpaid mortgage attached to it can get tricky.

”

~ Shirley M. Diefenbach, Attorney

HOW TO PREPARE FOR INHERITING REAL ESTATE AFTER A LOVED ONE’S DEATH

I

nheriting a house doesn’t just put a new property in your possession. It also may bring along a few headaches.

If you’re due to inherit a home after the death of a partner, parent or relative, be prepared for what could be a 8

complicated and lengthy process, whether you plan to sell the property or take residency there yourself. But knowing what to expect before or immediately after your loved one’s passing can help ease this transition.

First, whether you’re due to inherit the proper-

ty of a person who dies without a will or trust, or a beneficiary named in the late person’s will or trust to receive all or part of the estate property, your goal is to avoid probate – the legal process establishing validity of a will, which can take many months. The

home should automatically pass to you without probate if you’re already listed on the deed as a joint owner, if you have joint tenancy or community property with right of survivorship (typically the case for surviving spouses), or if the property has been legally

RE-Weekly.com

given away as a gift to you prior to the death.

When it comes to taxes owed on an inherited property, the good news is that estates valued at less than $5.34 million currently don’t have to pay federal estate taxes; however, several states require that state estate

taxes and inheritance taxes be paid (consult an accountant or tax attorney for details).

In the case of surviving children, usually all are named as heirs to the property, which will require a selling of the home to pay off all the heirs. James Boyd, a December 5, 2014

real estate broker in Orange, California, adds that if all parties agree, the home can be rented or one of the heirs can buy out the others.

“There are also certain situations where the real estate may have to be sold to satisfy creditors of the estate,” says Shirley M. Diefenbach, attorney in Durham, North Carolina.

“On the other hand, it may be advisable to retain the (home) rather than sell it if there is an existing mortgage on the house and the heir or beneficiary has poor credit.”

Diefenbach says inheriting a home that still has an unpaid mortgage attached to it can get tricky. Many mortgages include a “due on sale” clause that requires the full payment of the loan’s outstanding balance before the property can be transferred.

However, when relatives

inherit certain types of real estate, the Garn-St. Germain Act stipulates that the lender cannot force them to sell and must maintain the terms of the loan, even if the beneficiary would not have qualified for it originally. Under certain circumstances, this act permits ownership of real estate in a trust without activating the due-on-sale clause.

Another option for heirs who want to keep the home is to refinance into a new mortgage, if they qualify.

For those determined to sell the home, expect the matter to take more work and time than you might expect.

Once listed for sale, the inherited residence may or may not take longer than average to sell.

“We’ve had (inherited) properties sell quickly while others sit on the market for a long time. It really comes

down to the seller and the price point they set relative to the market,” says Christopher Dziak, attorney in Albuquerque, N.M. Bijan Golkar, CEO of an investment advisory in San Francisco, says finding a buyer can take longer if the person selling the home has limited knowledge of the property.

“I have found that buyers in this case will do a lot more inspections of the property, and you might not get as many offers,” says Golkar.

In general, many inherited homes take longer to sell when the deceased was elderly and the home was neglected or outdated.

“It’s always best to hire a qualified, experienced real estate agent, who can better advise as to how to optimize the sale,” Diefenbach says.

Now could be the time to sell a new home and earn a slice of the real estate pie.

LOWER ENERGY BILL HINT: An airtight house is critical to managing your heat-related expenses. You take time to close windows and doors to prevent heat from escaping, but that’s only half the battle. Sealing cracks around those windows and doors, and other leak-prone areas such as the basement and attic, will help keep heat inside and costs down.

Record-low interest rates and record-low housing prices are renewing interest in the floundering housing market for many people.

“When sellers are interviewing real estate agents to market their homes, their primary focus is usually on the advertising that the agent will offer them,” says Jessica Goodbody of Weichert Realtors.
