Buying

Tech and the House Hunt

Increased technology use during the buying process is creating a more confident homebuyer It’s little surprise that home hunters are increasingly turning to their tablets, smartphones and desktops to help them find the ideal property for sale. But the extent to which they rely on these tech tools – and the benefits they perceive from using them – may be greater than expected, judging from the results of a recent Discover Home Loans survey.

The poll found that 76 percent and 69 percent of homebuyers, respectively, feel using technology during the homebuying process has made them smarter and more confident. Additionally the poll found: • 89 percent of buyers employ some form of online technology to aid them in that process.

• 92 percent and 47 percent reported that using technology saved them time and money, respectively.

“Technology has enabled people to research homes and then decide which ones they’d like to see in person, saving them time,” says Bridget Frey, senior vice president of engineering for Redfin in Seattle.

Frey also cites another recent study by the National Association of Realtors that shows 43 percent of homebuyers make looking online for properties the first step in the home-buying process. “Real estate websites have made it easy for homebuyers to find properties that match their criteria, enabling them to do much of the research on their own.”

Sissy Lappin, co-founder of ListingDoor in Houston, agrees.

“We’re living in a world where people want information instantaneously,” Lappin says. They don’t want to call a real estate firm and get put on

HED: TO FLIP OR NOT TO FLIP? Question:

RealtyTrac.)

Given that certificates of deposit (CDs) and savings accounts now have returns, which are often close to zero, the idea of a 36 percent return seems enticing. However, the report correctly refers to the “gross return,” the profit before expenses.

I am 58 years old, and have always been interested Imagine that you want to buy a property for $135,000 in looking at flipping a few houses to supplement my and hope to sell for $210,000. Let’s look at some retirement. I have not flipped a house before. I would pull questions: Will the local neighborhood support the higher price? money out of a retirement fund to initially make a down What if interest rates rise? payment and pay for repairs/updates to the house. My If you don’t sell the property can it be rented? For how question to you is: How does a person get started in this much? endeavor, and at this stage in my life would it be too risky?

If a good candidate property becomes available who will get it – you or well established developers and contractors?

Flipping real estate has long been an alluring way to Who will do the repair work, you or someone you pay? make money, but flipping is hardly a sure thing.

If you do the work what’s the value of your time? Do you “Investors averaged a gross profit of $75,990 per flip on have the skills do rehab a home? Do you have a realistic homes flipped in the third quarter of 2014,” said repair budget -- and reserves if something goes wrong? realtytrac.com, a national supplier of real estate data The money used to acquire the home and pay for and information, “a 36 percent gross return on the initial repairs has a real cost, the return not being earned investment — not including rehab costs and other elsewhere. Another cost is the potential for a loss of expenses. The average gross return was up from 35 capital if the flip does not work out. How long will it take percent in the second quarter but down from 37 percent to acquire, repair, sell and close the property? a year ago.” (Disclosure: I write editorial content for How much will it cost to sell the property?

hold for 15 minutes just to get the price of a home and another number to call. This is the driving force behind why [real estate] sites have taken off.”

Experts warn, however, that the danger of relying too heavily on technology when searching for a home is that websites and apps tend to create a false expectation that finding a home is a less complex process than it often is.

“Real estate is still a relationship business, and technology is still a bit clumsy when trying to create relationships,” says Jason Sellers, owner/broker of Axis Property Advisors in Phoenix. “There is no substitute for getting out there and driving around.

Everything online is a representation, and technology is only as good as the person entering in the information you see.”

By Peter G. Miller

brokerage fees and closing costs.

If you do make a profit how much will you pay in taxes?

Flips today represent about 4 percent of all existing home sales according to RealtyTrac, but they’re not for everyone. It takes a lot of practical skills plus marketplace savvy to make flips work. Some luck doesn’t hurt, either.

I cannot suggest that you enter the flipping marketplace without substantial home improvement and real estate experience, especially if your idea is to fund such projects with retirement money. The risk for professionals is large; the risk for non-professionals is enormous.

For a better understanding of your marketplace speak with local brokers as well as attorneys who do closing work. And if anyone tells you that big profits from real estate flipping are a sure thing, run.

A Smarter Home, Today A guide to home improvement devices that can make your house safer, more efficient and more convenient They say you’re only as smart as the company you keep – or the home you equip with smart technology, for that matter.

Indeed, homeowners who do their homework today are enhancing their abode’s IQ by adding an increasing array of smart systems and devices designed to save money and provide greater convenience and peace of mind via automation and wireless capabilities.

Consider that 46 percent of consumers recently polled by ERA Real Estate and HGTV revealed that it was important for their current or next residence to have smart home technology. What’s more, 51 percent indicated

they would consider implementing such equipment in their home to appeal to future buyers.

“More consumers are looking to smart home technology because it has the potential to increase savings, safety and resale value in their homes, giving them an edge in today’s competitive market,” says Charlie Young, a global real estate franchiser headquartered in Madison, New Jersey. “We learned in our survey that most people who have smart home technology are focused on saving money through automated climate control, energy management, remote home monitoring, and

lighting control systems.”

According to results of a study by IControl Networks published last April, the top five smart home capabilities that home owners desire today are, in order: 1. Personal and family safety (smart connected fire and carbon monoxide alarms) 2. Protecting personal property (smart security camera, alarm systems and connected locks) 3. Improved energy management (smart thermostats and lighting systems) 4. Remote monitoring of pets

5. Convenience (being able to control devices via smartphones and tablets) “Traditionally, smart home systems were very expensive and installed during home construction to provide full integration with the house,” says Ryan Thewes, a residential architect in Nashville. “But the smartphone really opened up the door for a large amount of products that would eventually start bringing the cost of smart home technology down and allow it to be implemented in existing older homes.”

Andy Prasky, a Realtor in Minneapolis, says many homebuyers and sellers he works with today particularly highly value smart home entertainment features.

“Wireless capabilities are popular, including systems like Sonos that allow you to stream sound from a receiver to wireless speakers around your home,” says Prasky.

Sean Williams, a St. Petersburg, Florida-based architect, recommends considering these five smart home innovations, each of which can each be built into a new construction property or retrofitted into an existing residence:

1. Wi-Fi/learning Thermostat

Examples: Nest, ecobee3, Honeywell Lyric Benefits: Automatically learns your climate preferences and schedule, programs itself and can be smartphone-controlled.

Cost: $250 and up (not including installation).

Return on investment: Can pay for itself in as early as three to six months.

Installation: Can be installed by a handy do-ityourselfer or professional.

Kwikset Kevo Benefits: Allows you to lock/unlock and custom program via your smartphone.

Cost: $200 and up.

ROI: No cost savings, but better security.

Installation: DIY or pro.

4. Whole-Home Automation System

Examples: Wink, WeMo, or Revolv.

Benefits: Automate all your smart-enabled 2. Efficient Lighting Control System devices using one system via touchscreen/ Example: Philips’ hue, which includes LED app/hub lights, router-linked bridge device, and app/ Cost: $80 to $300+ online portal ROI: 3 to 18 months, depending on energy Benefits: Lights that last up to 50,000 hours, usage. can be programmed easily, and contribute little Installation: Professional recommended. to no heat.

Cost: $200 and up 5. Garage Door Opener with MyQ ROI: 12 months or longer technology Installation: DIY or pro.

Examples: Chamberlain and LiftMaster offer MyQ openers 3. Wireless Deadbolt Door Lock Benefits: Can open/close garage door from Examples: Schlage Camelot Touchscreen, anywhere and text you a warning if you left the January 16, 2015

door open.

Cost: $250 and up ROI: No cost savings, but better security.

Installation: DIY or pro.

Richard Soloway, CEO of a smart home app manufacturer headquartered in Amityville, New York, says it’s a good idea to choose interoperable devices that can “talk” to each other and that are backward-compatible with previously installed equipment.

“Homeowners who choose to invest in these systems should not have to rip out existing devices to integrate smart home technologies,” Soloway says. *All cost estimates do not include professional installation
