DOES YOUR HOME HAVE TOO MUCH PERSONALITY? YOU LOVE THE BRIGHT WALLS AND FURNITURE, BUT ONCE YOUR HOME IS ON THE MARKET YOU NEED TO MAKE IT AS NEUTRAL AS POSSIBLE. BRENDON DESIMONE

any sellers love their homes. They’ve made some of their most important memories there, and their home is literally where their heart is. When these homeowners took on improvements, from painting rooms to kitchen and bath renovations, they likely did it with the idea of adding “personality.” And then, when it’s time to sell, those same homeowners sit across the dining room table from their real estate agent and wonder why, after three months, their home hasn’t sold.

What went wrong? Usually, it’s because the home has too much personality. The problem with personality is that buyers see you, and not themselves, in the home you’re hoping to sell. If you’re serious about selling your home and you want to achieve the highest value, you need to make the home as neutral as possible. Here’s how. Remove family photos, heirlooms, diplomas and personal items Buyers don’t want to feel like they’re walking through someone else’s house. They want to feel that they’re walking through a home that could potentially be theirs.

The more neutral the home, the easier it will be for them to imagine themselves there. As proud as you may be of your college degree or of little Susie’s first footprints, they don’t need to be on display when your home is for sale. The process of putting these items away may bring up emotions, but that’s part of the process. Cost to do this: $0. Repaint rooms with personality You may have taken some time to choose the deep red color for your dining room, the heavy oak paneling in the family room or Johnnie’s jungle wallpaper. While these were personal choices for

In the visual age of the Internet, Instagram and Facebook, people need to visualize what each room is. Some people simply don’t have the imagination.

TRENDS: HOW TO GET EVERYONE UNDER YOUR ROOF

3 WAYS TO PREPARE YOUR HOME FOR A BOOMERANG CHILD OR AGING PARENT Dreaming of the day your kids finally move out and you can downsize to a smaller, lowmaintenance home? Considering how expensive renting/owning is likely to be for your moved-out children and how costly dependent care facilities can be for aging relatives, that fantasy may need to be put on hold Indeed, chances are that, before long, you may end up hosting a multi-generational household consisting of you, your adult offspring, and one or more of your elder

parents or in-laws. But don’t panic or start searching for a bigger house just yet: There are three steps you can take now to future-proof your current abode: 1. Evaluate your current layout and determine if you have any available flex space to host a longterm housemate – perhaps in the spare bedroom, first-floor office or basement – without having to undergo an expensive remodel. 2. Consider remodeling within your existing

footprint if you lack flex space.

“When multiple generations live together, it’s extremely beneficial to have your own space in order to coexist peacefully,” says Linda Lenore, a green building professional and universal design specialist with Green Chi Designs in San Francisco. “If possible, create a separate master bedroom with a private bath, and have two different living rooms and/or kitchens.” 3. Explore an addition, build-out or detached space. This choice allows you to keep your existing interior space intact without reshuffling rooms and provides ideal privacy and spatial independence for your new housemate. Three popular accessory dwelling unit options

include an attached in-law studio, backyard cottage, and detached granny flat, says Kevin Casey, CEO/founder of New Avenue Homes in Emeryville, California. Before going the remodeling route, formulate a realistic budget and determine how best to finance your renovation project, adds Monica D. Higgins, founder of Remodel Einstein in Los Angeles. “In addition, compare the cost and value of remodeling with the cost of purchasing a new home,” Higgins says. “You may find that improving your current home could make it more valuable as well as be more convenient than selling.” —Erik J.

Ask Our Broker

Why the Credit Caution? By Peter G. Miller Question: We are in the process of buying a home and our lender has issued a strange and ominous warning: Do not use a credit card, do not open a new account, and do not make any big purchases. What gives? Answer: What your lender is looking for might be described as a “quiet period,” a few weeks of financial hermit-like living when credit use is held to a minimum between the time the purchase agreement was signed and closing actually takes place. The lender very much wants to protect your interests, and here’s why:

It used to be that when you applied for a mortgage the lender ran one credit check in an effort to find all of your monthly debts. This allowed the lender to figure out your required monthly payments for auto loans, student, credit card payments, etc. Once your credit was run the lender could determine your monthly payments and whether you had too much debt to qualify. Swing ahead to the new underwriting era – today – and the lending process is very different. Your lender is going to check your credit and figure your monthly payments just like in the old days. Then your lender is going to check again, maybe daily, and the lender will do this until closing.

15 16 17 18 19 20

The reason for the repeated credit checks is that the lender wants to get the loan right, and that means having a mortgage that meets certain standards. If the loan is wrong it’s possible that the lender will have to buy back the mortgage from an investor, not a cheap or happy prospect. What the lender fears are undisclosed debts. Imagine that during the quiet period you go out and buy a new big-screen TV. The appliance store offers you 10 percent off if you will sign up for their new credit card. Sounds great, and in 60 seconds you have a new TV and a new credit card. You may not see it as a big deal, but the new debt

increases your required monthly payments. For marginal borrowers this means you may increase your costs to point where they pass a given limit, say a 43-percent debt-to-income ratio. As a result your loan might be lost – and with it the home and maybe your deposit. Is this a real problem? You bet. “Almost one-fifth of all mortgage borrowers, including those with solid credit scores and debt-to-income ratios apply for at least one new trade line during this period,” said Equifax in a 2013 study. “Many borrowers simply don’t realize how this new ‘undisclosed debt’ impacts their ability to qualify for their mortgage.”

A mortgage application was once a static event, you handed in your paperwork, and that was about it. No more. With multiple credit reviews you can count on lenders to check and re-check paperwork right up until closing. In fact, in one case a lender called while my wife and I were riding home from a closing. The lender’s question? Was my wife still employed! Happily, the answer was yes. © CTW Features Email peter@ctwfeatures. com. Due to volume, not all questions may be answered.

ONE HOUSE, MULTIPLE GENERATIONS How to shop for a home that can accommodate extra family housemates By Erik J. Martin CTW Features

n a tight economy, many American homes today are proving to be a haven where the extended family – from Grandma to the new college graduate – flocks together for comfort, convenience, and, increasingly, financial practicality.

As proof, consider that 14 percent of all home purchases made between July 2012 and June 2013 were by a multi-generational household, comprised of adult children, adult siblings, parents and/or grandparents, according to a recently released study by the National Association of Realtors. The main motivations for a multi-generational home purchase were adult children moving back home, and to save money (each cited by 24 percent of survey respondents); other reasons included caretaking or health of aging parents (20 percent) and spending more time with aging parents (11 percent). “In past years, most individuals and families lived in their own residences. Today, more people in all age segments are living together under one roof. It starts with younger unmarried adults but is now growing to include married couples and families, and in coming years it will include extended families,” says Dennis Torres, director of real estate op-

erations at the Graziadio School of Business and Management at Pepperdine University in Malibu, California. “Also, the trend is not exclusive to low-income segments of the population.” The good news for homeowners now hosting boomerang children or aging or care-dependent parents is that there’s strength, solace and savings in numbers: It’s cheaper to move an elder relative in with you than pay for an expensive assisted living facility; adult children can help with home maintenance; and the move-in can bring the family closer together. The bad news is that it can be difficult to comfortably accommodate and plan for extra inhabitants, as they will likely have their own spatial preferences. Such living arrangements may require shopping for a bigger or more flexible residence, or plans for these future needs may need to be included during a current hunt for a new home. “You need to look for qualities in your next home that will support multigenerational living,” says Linda Lenore, a green building professional and universal design specialist with

Green Chi Designs in San Francisco. She recommends considering several key amenities, including: • A stairless first-floor setup – with bedroom, adjacent bath, and kitchen nearby on the same level – to make it easier particularly for disabled/ elder residents. • A bedroom with an adjacent private bathroom, far away enough from the master suite/ master bath, for adult children. • Universal design elements, including wider hallways, door openings and baths for wheelchairs and walkers. Annmarie Pluhar, author of “Sharing Housing: A Guidebook for Finding and Keeping Good Housemates”

(Homemate Publishing, 2011), says, at very least, long-term houseguests desire a bedroom, sitting room and bathroom of their own. “Kitchens need to be big enough – sometimes having two refrigerators makes life easier,” Pluhar says. “Having a way for grandparents to retire away from children noise also is great. And independent adults like to be able to come and go easily and quietly.” Having a living space that’s connected to the main home but also has a separate entry point can go a long way toward helping multi-generational households maintain peace and prevent conflicts, says John Egnatis, co-founder/CEO of Grenadier Homes in Dal-

las, who adds that buyers need to forecast future remodeling needs carefully. “Sometimes you cannot add space (via renovation) due to zoning issues, which is why you may want to buy a home that already includes a built-in, multi-purpose flex space with a separate entrance and exit,” Egnatis says. “These flex spaces can also be used as an in-home office, so the space is still usable if your family circumstances change.” Lastly, try to opt for a home near quality health care facilities, parks and trails, and evaluate if the property has room for multiple vehicles. © CTW Features
