HOW MUCH HOUSE CAN YOU AFFORD?
MORTGAGE RATES
Determining how much “home you can afford” depends on several important factors including: •
You can get a very rough estimate of your affordable home price range by multiplying your annual gross income by 2.5. For example, if your annual gross income is $50,000, you may be able to afford a home worth $125,000 (this varies depending on current interest rates, your debt and credit history.)
•
Your credit can affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage and your mortgage rate. Before you shop for a house or a mortgage, find out what your credit score is by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com or calling (877) 322-8228. Be sure to do this once a year because your score can be negatively affected if pulled too often.
•
Mortgage rates change constantly based on the economic factors that affect the demand for mortgages among investors like Freddie Mac. You can track mortgage rate trends by following Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey.
•
You will have to make a downpayment of at least 5 percent of the home purchase price to qualify for a mortgage that meets Freddie Mac’s requirements. If you are able to put down 20 percent or more, you can avoid having to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI), reducing your monthly mortgage payment.
•
If you are looking to buy a condominium, keep in mind that rates are typically higher for these loans and you’ll have to budget for the cost of your monthly condominium fee. You should consider your current living standards, as well as any future major expenses such as a wedding or college tuition. And, remember - buy what you can comfortably afford today, not five years from now.
•
Remember to factor in the expenses and fees you will incur for a home appraisal, a home inspection and other professional services required to buy a home.
•
KEY RATIOS LENDERS USE To determine how much you can afford, it is helpful to follow the guidance and key ratios lenders use : •
Lenders recommend that your mortgage payment (principal, interest, taxes and mortgage insurance) be less than 28 percent of your monthly gross income.
•
Lenders look to see that all your other debts (credit cards, student loans, alimony, child support, car loans and housing expenses) are less than 30-40 percent of your monthly gross income.

5 ways to redefine your outdoor space (BPT) - Winter's coldest days make you appreciate spring and summer, as well as the warm afternoons spent outdoors enjoying these seasons. And when the time comes, there's no better place to relax than in your own backyard. If your space isn't all it could be, though, this is the perfect time for a little outdoor upgrade. Below are five projects you can tackle on your own to reinvent your backyard and turn it into the space you always knew it could be. * Landscape for the year. Landscaping provides a focal point in your yard, but don't just landscape with the warmer months in mind - include plants for each season. Showcase blooming flowers and hostas in the warmer months, and pair them with evergreen conifers for a look that's inviting all year long. * One-of-a-kind planter boxes. Showcase your most beautiful blooms or delicious herbs in planter boxes made from Western Red Cedar. Western Red Cedar is ideal for planter boxes because it is naturally rot, decay and insect resistant. Plus, building the box is easy. You can learn how to build planter boxes of your own at Realcedar.com. * Sitting beside the fire. A fire pit is a great way to extend your backyard use into the evening hours, and giving the pit a professional look is easier than you think. Start by measuring the pit area and then build your wall of pavers. Surround the pit itself with gravel, additional pavers or another non-flammable substance, then add some comfy chairs and prepare to enjoy. * The all-in-one pergola. Whether you're looking for a little shade, a centerpiece for the yard or the perfect spot to entertain, a pergola delivers. Building the pergola out of a lighter wood like Western Red Cedar will make the material easier to handle for any DIYer, and the appearance and smell of Western Red Cedar ensures your pergola will blend in naturally with the rest of your yard. You can find instructions for building your own pergola at Realcedar.com. * Let there be light. Enjoy your backyard any time of day with just a little lighting. Solar-powered path lights are a low-maintenance way to showcase your new landscaping, and hanging track lighting can bring an evening glow to your pergola. Finally, don't forget tiki torches. Adding a couple will give your backyard a rustic feel and keep the mosquitos away at the same time. What could be better than that? Your backyard is what you make of it, so why not make it great? Any of these projects will noticeably enhance your backyard. For more amazing backyard projects, visit Realcedar.com. NEW LISTING & A S S O C I A T E S R E A L T Y , L L C

Refreshing your kitchen? What you need to know about the kitchen sink
Why DIY? Projects can pay you back big time (BPT) - Hiring professionals to get jobs done around the house may be convenient, but it can set your budget back quite a bit. Instead, consider doing it yourself - not only to save big bucks but also to showcase your creativity. Do-it-yourself (DIY) home improvement is a major trend that will pay you back many times over.
(BPT) - If the kitchen is the heart of your home, it would be easy to make the case that the sink is the heart of your kitchen. It's where you prepare foods, clean dirty hands and scrub dishes before the next culinary project. It's also one of the best features to update when planning a kitchen remodel, thanks to new technology and designs aimed at improving how well kitchen sinks perform. When it comes to style, traditional is the most popular design choice for families. The contemporary style, however, is increasing in popularity and comes in at a close second, according to studies of posts on Houzz and pins on Pinterest. But when it comes to picking a new kitchen sink, there's much more to think about than just the design style. You must consider top- and undermount sinks, single bowl, double bowl and materials as well. Here is some background information regarding what's available, as well as the pros and cons for each: * Top-mount - This type of sink is the easiest to install and replace, especially if you don't intend to replace the countertops. It does create a ridge where the sink material meets the counter, however, and this is a place where water and dirt often collect, making cleaning more challenging. * Undermount - For cleaning purposes, under-mount sinks are great because you can simply wipe your cloth right over the counter and into the sink. But if you need to replace an under-mount sink, it might also require you to take out the countertops. * Single bowl - When it comes to washing large dishes, the single-bowl sink is a good choice. It's also handy if you need to dump large pots of hot water, because you have a larger area to hit. You might end up using more water with the single-bowl sink, though, especially when washing dishes. It simply takes more water to get it deep enough in the single bowl. * Double bowl - One sink for washing, one for drying.
One sink for holding dirty dishes and another for rinsing vegetables. There are myriad reasons why homeowners love having a double bowl. One drawback is that the sink is smaller, and that makes it easier to splash water outside of the sink area. * Drain type - When it comes to the features of the sink you traditionally think about, the drain is probably not top of mind. There are several drain styles available, however, that can make your use of the sink easier. For example, sinks with rear-centered drains provide the maximum amount of functional and usable sink space, says Jonathan Chong, a market researcher for Elkay. Or consider the new Perfect Drain, which is available only with stainless steel sinks by Elkay. Perfect Drain provides you with a seamless and clean drain system, making your sink much more hygienic and easy-to-clean, as well as sleek and stylish. The drain is integrated into the sink body, leaving no ridges that allow build-up in the sink area, so water flows uninterrupted right down the drain without getting trapped. * Stainless steel - As the most popular choice because of its functionality, durability and coloring, stainless steel has a timeless element to it. It can scratch, though, and it might have a louder noise value. It also shows water spots more easily. * Cast iron - A throw-back to the original sinks, cast iron sinks with an enamel finish are still quite popular today. The finish is very strong, but tiny chips and pinholes that can evolve over time can cause the iron sink to rust. Cast iron sinks also tend to cost more. * Granite or quartz composite - These sinks feature a combination of rock with resin, and they create a beautiful and colorful look in any kitchen. The composite materials are very durable and require little maintenance. They do tend to cost more money, and the coloring of your sink could limit your options when decorating the rest of the room.
Mind-healthy hobby DIYing is a hobby that many find relaxing, and can be good for the mind, body and soul. For an enjoyable diversion in your spare time, consider reinventing items around the house for a DIY project that you and the whole family can appreciate. Have an old dresser that could use a bit of TLC? Add a coat of paint in your favorite color and updated hardware to make it look brand new.

DIY Continued from page 4 need of a makeover - find a fabulous fabric that matches your design style and use it to reupholster the seat for a fresh look. These projects will not only look good, but will provide a great sense of accomplishment every time you look at them. Win cash from contests To give homeowners the encouragement to turn their Pinterest board inspiration into a reality, FrogTape brand painter's tape invites DIYers to submit their painting projects for the fifth annual Earn
Your Stripes room makeover contest. The most impressive DIY painting project will win a $5,000 grand prize, while second place collects $2,500, and third place earns $1,000. To enter, document the before, during and after process using a FrogTape product and enter by July 1. Entrants can be as creative as they please with their full room transformations by painting walls, floors, accessories, furniture and more. To enter and see the official rules, visit frogtape.com/earnyourstripes. The prize money could do more than just reward and acknowledge your hard work - you can invest it in your next DIY project. Saving money By upcycling items instead of buying brand new, you can save hundreds and even thousands of dollars. In addition, perusing through thrift shops can reveal hidden houseware gems with high potential. Adding your special, creative touch to these items will make them one-of-kind. Some home improvement tasks on your checklist may also be more feasible to DIY than you think. Those closet shelves you've been pondering or that patio flower garden you've dreamed of can come to fruition in just a weekend; with a little research and the right supplies. However, for the more technical work such as plumbing, structural and electrical work, you may want to enlist a professional for the
job. Make money As social media has surged in popularity over the last 10 years, so have independent businesses. Pinterest, Instagram and Facebook all provide a platform for self-promotion and many DIYers have used this to their advantage to display their projects for sale. In addition to selling via social media, many opt to sell on websites such as Etsy or Ebay. These websites provide a win-win situation for both the consumer and the DIYer, as the buyer can often request custom items for special occasions typically unavailable at retail stores. Plus, the seller is able to earn cash based solely on their crafting talents. DIYers can also expand their business and increase profit by creating a blog with tutorials on how they completed certain projects. It takes a lot of passion and patience, but if the website garners a sizable audience, bloggers can make a living from advertising and sponsorships on their site. Bloggers may also have the opportunity to partner with a corporation to use their product in various posts in exchange for compensation. There are infinite reasons to venture down the DIY path. In addition to cost savings and the rewarding satisfaction of creating pieces on your own, there's always potential to turn your passion into profit. For more inspiration, visit frogtape.com.
