CONTRACT SIGNINGS POST FIRST GAINS SINCE JUNE
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 31, 2017 • 5C
Daily Real Estate News | Wednesday, December 27, 2017
Pending home sales eked out a small increase in November on both a monthly and annualized basis. The increase was enough to make it the highest gain in contract signings since June as well, the National Association of REALTORSŽ reported Wednesday. But will it last? Existing-home sales and price growth are expected to slow heading in 2018 due to the impact from altered tax benefits of homeownership affecting some high-cost areas, according to NAR. NAR’s Pending Home Sales Index—a forward-looking indicator based on contract signings—inched up 0.2 percent month over month. NAR’s index reached a reading of 109.5 in November and is at its highest reading since June (110). The index is 0.8 percent higher than a year ago. “The housing market is closing the year on a stronger note than earlier this summer, backed by solid job creation and an economy that has kicked into a higher gear,� says Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “However, new buyers coming into the market are finding out quickly that their options are limited and competition is robust. REALTORSŽ say many would-be buyers from earlier this year, stifled by tight supply and higher prices, are still trying to buy a home.� Existing-home sales are up 5.8 percent— more than double wage growth. Inventories remain tight at a 3.4-month supply of homes on the market, which is the lowest since NAR began tracking in 1999.
“The strengthening economy, and expectation that more millennials will want to buy, serve as promising signs for solid homebuying demand next year, while also putting additional pressure on inventory levels and affordability,� Yun says. “Sales do have room for growth in most areas, but nationally, overall activity could be slightly negative. Markets with high home prices and property taxes will likely feel some impact from the reduced tax benefits of owning a home.�

OWNERS RUSH TO PREPAY PROPERTY TAXES BEFORE LOSING BENEFITS Daily Real Estate News | Thursday, December 28, 2017
With tax reform signed into law, homeowners in areas with high property taxes are scrambling to prepay their 2018 tax bill in order to take advantage of deductions that will be severely curtailed once the legislation takes effect Jan. 1. The new tax law, which Congress passed and President Donald Trump signed last week, caps the amount of state, local, and property taxes that homeowners can deduct at $10,000.
“It just never came up [before],” George Leventhal, a Montgomery County councilman, told CNNMoney. “No one was saying, ‘Please let me make early payment of a bill I don’t owe yet.’ Wise cash management suggests you should pay closer to the due date, not farther away. But because of this change, it seems it could be possible that people could derive some benefit and deduct their property taxes for next year in 2017.”
property taxes will work only under limited circumstances. To qualify for the deduction, property taxes will need to be paid in 2017— but they also must be assessed in 2017. That means homeowners who prepaid their taxes based on estimated assessments or who tried to pay several years’ worth of taxes at once will likely still face the new limited deductions, The New York Times reports.
Nearly half of the county’s taxpayers have more than $10,000 in combined state and local taxes, Leventhal says.
Source: “Homeowners Scramble to Pre-Pay Property Taxes,” CNNMoney (Dec. 27, 2017) and “Prepaying Your Property Tax? IRS Cautions It Might Not Pay Off,” The New York Times (Dec. 27, 2017)
Still, there’s no guarantee homeowners who prepay their 2018 property Some counties already allow for prepayment taxes will be of taxes, while others are rushing to provide able to deduct the payment. On residents the ability to do so after strong Wednesday, the demand. For example, local officials in IRS posted to its Montgomery County, Md., say they’re fielding requests to prepay taxes for the first website an advisory notice time ever, which prompted them to hold a that said special meeting the day after Christmas to prepaying come up with a plan.

Some of the most on-trend styles of today are actually throwbacks to bygone eras.

Accessories are an important part of kitchen design, which is why they should be kept top of mind when building or designing that dream space.

A beautiful, ornate bathroom with plenty of traditional features can truly be an interpretation of elegance in design. Plan for an abundance of luxurious, spa-like elements to achieve this look.

From bright colors to mixed metals and textures, this unique design style pays respect to the era of Car Hops, Airstream Travel Trailers and Lucille Ball. The key to making a throwback-styled design work for your contemporary needs is all in the modern elements. Think along the lines of illuminated drawers and cabinets and base pullout wire baskets. These fun twists of technology paired with retro-styled elements make for a winning solution. When it comes to the vanities and cabinetry, remember that both style and color can bring your retro design together.
