Q&A

ASK OUR BROKER

BOOM OR BUST? Question: I keep reading that there soon will be another housing bust and also that the real estate market is booming. So, which is it?

Thank you to all our valued sellers/buyers for your business and support! ®

North Homes Realty Inc. 4

We support Easter Seals Foundation!

Both. Let me explain.

Existing home prices rose 9.9 percent in 2013, according to the National Association of Realtors. That is a extremely high rate of appreciation that, if continued, suggests that home prices nationally will double in a little more than seven years.

Unless the value of the dollar is entirely eroded, it’s difficult to imagine that such price increases will occur. Therefore, the pace of appreciation is likely to slow.

The Department of Housing and Urban Development points out that real estate equity has increased by $3.4 trillion since 2011. It also says that since 2012, some 5.7 million homes no longer are financially underwater.

The figures suggest that the real estate market is booming.

Unfortunately, there is another side to the coin.

National pricing trends do not reflect local markets. For instance, the NAR says that in the third quarter of 2013, home values rose in 144 out of 163

metro areas. That also means home prices fell in 19 areas.

Perhaps more importantly, some areas saw values increase at a rate that is not sustainable.

The NAR says third-quarter 2013 prices rose 26.2 percent in the Los Angeles area and 41.8 percent in the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Marietta, Ga., metro area.

To have quickly rising prices, you need a population of prospective buyers who can afford the higher values. There are two problems here.

First, incomes are not rising.

Figures from the Census Bureau show that 2011 incomes were 8.9 percent lower than in 1999.

Second, mortgage rates are increasing. Rates in 2012 were the lowest in 65 years. Today mortgage rates are low by historic standards, but they are higher than the end of 2012 and early 2013.

Higher rates mean marginal borrowers can borrow less or not at all. Also, borrowers who recently financed or refinanced are not likely to be back in the mortgage marketplace anytime soon – in fact, the Mortgage Bankers Association says refinancing levels in 2014 are likely to fall by 60 percent, a huge decline.

The bottom line is this: We had a great run in 2013, but the odds are that home value increases will be generally moderate in 2014. We won’t have a bust in 2014 if we’re lucky – but surely not a widespread boom, either.

NOW COULD BE THE TIME TO SELL A NEW HOME AND EARN A SLICE OF THE REAL ESTATE PIE 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.

Remodeling Magazine’s Annual Project Report Ranks When Home Improvement Efforts Pay Off

Home Maintenance Tips for Spring

By Dwight Barnett, Scripps Howard News Service After a long, dark winter, spring's bright sun and warm winds are, well, a breath of fresh air. The only downside? All that sunshine spotlights your leaf-filled gutters, cracked sidewalks and the dead plants in last year's flower beds. What you can do now:



Check for loose or leaky gutters. Make sure downspouts drain away from the foundation and are clear and free of debris.



Low areas in the yard or next to the foundation should be filled with compacted soil. Spring rains can cause yard flooding, which can lead to foundation flooding and damage.



From the ground, examine roof shingles to see if any were lost or damaged during winter. If your home has an older roof covering, you may want to start a budget for replacement.



Remove firewood stored near the home. Firewood should be stored at least 18 inches off the ground at least 2 feet from the structure.



Check outside hose faucets for freeze damage. Turn the water on and place your thumb or finger over the opening. If you can stop the flow of water, it is likely the pipe inside the home is damaged and will need to be replaced.

http://www.hgtv.com/home-improvement/a-few-tips-to-herald-the-arrival-of-spring/index.html Mission Statement: The North Puget Sound Association of Realtors advocates for Realtors and their clients, provides services to help members prosper, and promotes the protection of property rights.

REMODELING:

H

omeowners looking to make improvements to their residences often scrutinize expensive remodeling wishlist items carefully and determine which projects offer the best return on investment — especially if they plan to sell their property anytime soon.

That’s why many look to Remodeling magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value Report for clues and trends into what would be the best projects for their homes.

This year’s edition, published in cooperation with the National Association of Realtors, reveals some surprising new findings that may make homeowners rethink where they want to invest their renovation dollars for improved resale value.

For instance, adding a backup power generator to your home made the biggest gain on the list in terms of percentage of recouped cost, rising 28 percent to return 67.5 percent of its $11,742 average cost in 2013. The next biggest gains were for attic bedroom remodels (up 15.6 percent, recouping 87.4 percent of its $48,438 average cost) and basement remodels (up 10.4 percent, recouping 77.6 percent of its $62,834 average cost).

Topping the overall improvement list for midrange projects

RE-Weekly.com

March 28, 2014

was steel entry door replacement ($1,162 average cost, 96.6 percent cost recouped), followed by a wood deck addition ($9,539 average cost, 87.4 percent cost recouped). Other projects in the Top 10 include garage door replacement, minor kitchen remodel, wood and vinyl window replacements, vinyl siding replacement, and composite deck addition.

Further, for the second year in a row, the report’s data demonstrate that the value of remodeling is up for all 35 projects surveyed. The cost-value ratio, which expresses resale value as a percentage of construction cost, started dipping in 2006 but began rebounding last year. In 2014, the CVR has risen 5.5 points to 66.1 percent — the largest increase since 2005.

Cannon Christian, president of Renovation Realty in San Diego, sees value in the Cost vs. Value report but doesn’t necessarily agree with the project rankings.

“If I were making my own list, I would start from the front of the home with the garage door, landscaping, front door, exterior paint and vinyl windows. These are smaller scale renovations that will add a quick revamp to your home, as you want the best first impression and curb appeal for your property,” Christian says. “Kitchens and March 28, 2014

baths, which are higher in cost, would be next on my list of the best renovations to tackle for a good return on investment.”

Bob Hoebeke, president/CEO of Hoebeke Builders in Dallas, isn’t surprised that five of the top seven greatest recoup gainers on the list can be seen in space and life enhancement projects.

“This reflects the market’s desire to once again improve our quality of life over simply maintaining it,” Hoebeke says.

The report can also be a helpful point of comparison for home shoppers.

“Homeowners are famous for overestimating the value of their own houses, so the report provides valuable context,” says Colby Sambrotto, founder/CEO of USRealty.com.

But Sambrotto cautions homeowners to take the report with a grain of salt.

“Nothing beat a local apples-to-apples comparison, he says.

“To really understand what improvements deliver high return on investment, you have to understand your local market.

“Local norms always should take precedent over surveys,” Sambrotto says.
