Buying a home
For anyone dreaming of owning a home, a look at one young couple’s success story could prove inspirational. Recent college grads Jacob and Katherine closed on their first home a week after their wedding. “I wanted our own home because the rent was going up and stuff was falling apart in the apartment,” Jacob explained. He’s an engineer for an industrial automation company. Katherine said that buying a home really wasn’t on her radar. “Owning a home seemed so complicated, with mortgage payments and property taxes. I was much slower to get on board with the idea. It seemed like such a grown-up decision,” she said. Katherine is a graphic designer for a university. But once they made that momentous, “grown-up decision,” they moved forward together. Here’s what they learned:
Do a lot of research online. “There are so many tools and resources 1. you can use. We found calculators that showed us how much we could afford,” Jacob said.
Don’t let student loans get in the way. Jacob explained that he had 2. some pretty heavy student loans. “But I focused on paying off those with higher interest rates. Once we got those under control and started saving again, we started the home-buying discussions.”
Trust your real estate agent. “Our real estate agent spent a lot of time 3. with us. He got straight to the point and was very honest. He helped us figure out what we wanted, where we wanted to live and what we could afford,” Jacob said.
Look in the basement first. “Our real estate agent advised us to 4. look at the guts of the house first. Don’t be distracted by things like granite countertops and stainless steel appliances,” Katherine said.
Jacob agreed, “You can get too caught up in the aesthetics of a house. It has been staged that way on purpose. We looked in the basement first, at the foundation and to see if anything was damp.”
If you don’t have a 20 percent down payment, consider private 5. mortgage insurance. Katherine and Jacob had saved up for a down payment, but it wasn’t enough for the 20 percent down required by many lenders for borrowers who don’t finance with mortgage insurance. With private mortgage insurance, borrowers can buy a home with as little as 3 percent down. Katherine and Jacob had enough for a 10 percent down payment and private mortgage insurance helped them qualify for their mortgage. “We wouldn’t have been able to buy our house with only 10 percent down without private mortgage insurance,” Jacob said.
Down Payment Funds Can Come From A Gift. Although they were 6. good savers, Katherine explained, most of the funds for their down payment came from their parents.

Small nest egg, big dreams?
Retirement often means a move and downsizing for many Americans. In fact, more than 60 percent of retirees in the country either have moved or plan to move.

Tips for buying your retirement home
Ideally, you should think about where you want to live long before retirement, but it’s never too late to think about your priorities. Do you want to be close to family or health care resources? Do you desire a home in the mountains or somewhere you’ll never see snow again? Trulia’s research shows that some of the cities most popular for retirees are also ones where buying a home can save you the most money over renting. Desirable, warm-weather locations in Florida and Arizona offer significant value, even in regions where average home prices are higher. Make a list of what you want in a home location so you’ll have a starting point for your search.
Don’t delay If possible, don’t wait until poor health or declining finances force you to move somewhere that’s not your ideal location. Move while you’re still young enough to enjoy your dream retirement home.
It’s important to protect your nest egg and keep it growing throughout retirement. A professional financial planner can help you understand what size mortgage is right for you, so your dream home doesn’t strain your finances.
Be mindful of amenities
Once you know where you want to be, it’s time to find a real estate agent. Well-versed on local real estate trends, RE/MAX agents can help retirees sell their current home so they can make the purchase of their dream retirement home a reality. Visit www.remax.com to search for an agent.
Focus on must-haves Make a list of must-have features and those you would like your retirement home to have. Share the list with your agent to help him or her focus on properties that meet your criteria. Your list of must-haves and desirables will likely be very different from the list you made when you bought your first home. Now, a single-level house with large bathrooms and a level lot may be more desirable than a two-story with lots of bedrooms and a big backyard. Finally, says Lewis, keep in mind whether you plan to age in place. “More Americans are looking for homes that will allow them to stay independent and living on their own throughout their retirement years,” he says. “If that’s your plan, look for home features that will help facilitate that, like wider doors, few or no exterior stairs, and good lighting.” (BPT)

Planning for retirement means making a lot of decisions, including when you’ll stop working, how much you’ll withdraw from your savings each year, and where you’ll live. Many Americans view retirement as an opportunity to move into a house they’ll love and live in for all their golden years. In fact, 64 percent of retirees either have moved or plan to move, according to a Merrill Lynch survey. Some retirees move to be closer to children or grandchildren, to down-size into a more manageable home, live in a warmer locale, or to secure a more luxurious home where they can easily age in place. “The decision of where to live in retirement is important and can directly affect quality of life in your golden years,” says Geoff Lewis, President of RE/MAX, LLC. “Research by Trulia shows that in virtually all areas of the country, it makes better financial sense for retirees to buy a home, rather than rent. In fact, buying is nearly 42 percent cheaper than renting for seniors across the country.” With offices in more countries than any other real estate brand, RE/MAX agents have helped millions, including retirees, find the home of their dreams. Lewis and the RE/MAX team offer some advice for buying your retirement home:
Have a plan
Don’t suffer the pain of high energy bills in your next home Do you cringe each month when your utility bill arrives in the mail? If high energy costs are getting you down, don’t blame your electronic devices. Heating and cooling are the largest energy expense for most homes, reports the U.S. Department of Energy. If you dream of building a new, custom home, you must make some fundamental decisions about how the home will be built in order to avoid thousands of dollars in wasted energy costs each year. When you picture your dream home under construction, you likely think of hundreds of wall studs (the skeleton of a building) creating the frame of your home, as that is how many U.S. homes are built - from tract homes to custom-built mansions. So-called “stick framing” has been the standard practice in home building since the 1800s. Yet, this method is notoriously difficult and expensive to make energy efficient, leading to high heating and cooling bills. More custom home builders have discovered an advanced method of building that can help reduce a home’s heating and cooling energy consumption up to 60 percent compared to stick framing.
The system is structural insulated panels, which can be used to form walls, roofs and floors in big sections (24 feet each) that install quickly and easily. SIPs panels are made when structural wood sheathing is laminated to a rigid foam core for superior strength and insulation. Compared to traditional two-by-four stud walls, SIPs have thicker and more continuous insulation for exceptional insulating power, and have far fewer gaps where heated indoor air can leak out. “Making a home airtight is the most critical thing you can do for high energy efficiency,” says Garrett Strong, president of Tall Pines Construction, Inc., in Park City, Utah. In one custom home Strong built for the O’Meara family in the snowy foothills of the Wasatch Mountains, the large SIP panels leave few spaces for gaps and help super-insulate the home. This high efficiency allowed the home to supply 90 percent of its heating and cooling needs through passive solar energy. Likewise, when it came time to design her own home, Montana architect Becki D. Miller, AIA, used SIPs to help create a structure that she estimates is about 30 times more airtight than a conventional home. In addition to being energy efficient, Miller notes that SIPs help simplify and
speed construction. “In one step, you can have the walls up and they’re insulated and sheathed,” says Miller. “With SIPs, we had the walls up in only two days.” “While SIPs are an advanced building method, they’re not new,” says James Hodgson, general manager of Premier SIPs, a manufacturer based near Tacoma, Washington. “SIP homes have been built in the U.S. since the 1960s, but with new interest in energy-efficient construction, more people are asking for SIPs.” Hodgson notes that manufacturers continue to innovate with SIPs, including new types of insulating cores. His company’s Platinum SIPs, for example, use a new type of insulation that increases the panels’ insulating power by more than 20 percent. Scott Bergford, another custom home builder, based in Olympia, Washington, focuses almost exclusively on SIP construction. “Everyone is so amazed by the energy efficiency SIPs provide,” says Bergford. “It only costs an average of $200 to $300 a year to heat one of my homes. That’s anywhere from one-fifth to one-sixth the typical costs for this region, so the savings are pretty significant, and the homeowners love that.” (BPT)
