5 Ways to Save Energy When

it’s cold outside

As outdoor temperatures drop and home heating costs are on the rise, it’s now more important than ever to make sure your home is properly prepped for winter. Here are some cold weather tips and easy DIY projects to help save money and energy this winter:

Attic First, check to see if there is any missing or damaged insulation that can be readily replaced. A lower-cost alternative to block unwanted airflow is to place sheets of foam polystyrene plastic on top of existing insulation. You can also keep the cold air in the attic and out of the living area by installing some plastic foam weather stripping around the attic door.

Fireplace Although a fireplace is meant to heat a room, it often allows cold air to enter a house. An inexpensive product known as a “chimney pillow” or “fireplace plug” can reduce airflow when the fireplace isn’t being used. After installation, the pillow’s inflation tube hangs down into the fireplace as a reminder to remove it before lighting a fire in your living room.

Windows & Doors Make sure your home is properly insulated by inspecting doors, windows, and apply caulk or weather-stripping where necessary to keep cold air out.

You should also close drapes, blinds and garage doors to preserve heat and prevent cold air from sneaking inside. There is a wide variety of lowcost weather stripping you can purchase that helps trap air, providing a barrier between indoors and out.

Switches, Outlets & Ducts Less obvious places that can waste energy are electrical switches and outlets. You can easily prevent air from sneaking in and out by placing pre-cut, inexpensive plastic foam insulation sheets behind switch and outlet covers.

Check your home’s unheated areas for leaks in heating ducts, including your basement, attic and garage. If you find leaks, they can be easily sealed with plastic caulks or polyurethane foam sealants. These low-cost products are designed to fill cracks and crevices while keeping away moisture and mildew.

Follow these energy and money saving tips for a cozy home this winter and all year round. Many homes have areas that are not properly sealed, letting warm air escape your home and allowing cold air to sneak in. Helping to seal these leaks in problem areas can provide a quick and easy return on time and money invested.

I

t’s because of my dedication to my clients that I have aligned my real estate practice with Cascade Sotheby’s International Realty. My sellers have an extensive professional marketing portfolio as well as global exposure of their properties. Portland is one of the top relocation destinations in the country and it’s important that your property is seen by the largest audience possible. I look forward to sharing more on how I work for my clients, both buyers and sellers! What Would a SOLD Sign Do For YOU?

REALTOR

310 N State Street Lake Oswego, OR 97034

Have you ever bought something but then, later on, found yourself regretting that purchase decision? Well, it’s no big deal when you can easily return or exchange something like a pair of pants or even a designer purse. A house, on the other hand, is much more permanent. It’s not only the largest investment you’ll ever make, but it’s also the place you’ll come home to every day, and where you’ll spend years making life memories as your family grows.

There may be increasing pressure to make a quick decision in today’s fast-paced and competitive real estate market, but it’s important to stay grounded throughout the home buying process. Before you try to compete with other interested buyers and snag that “hot listing,” take a breath and follow these steps.

3. STAND YOUR GROUND.

Even after you have made the decision to buy a specific home, don’t let yourself overlook major issues. For example, if the inspector finds a cracked foundation or dry rot in the floor joists, you should either back out of the deal or get the price lowered to reflect the cost of the repairs.

4. KEEP A CLEAR HEAD. 1. STICK TO YOUR HOME REQUIREMENTS.

Before you even start your search, make a list of your “must-haves” in your new home. If having a 2-car garage is on the list but the house you’re looking at only has a 1-car garage, move on. Don’t let yourself settle for something less and then end up making expensive renovations because it’s not exactly what you wanted.

2. KNOW WHERE YOU’LL COMPROMISE.

Note any items that are on your home wish list, but you could live without. There should be at least a couple home features that you and your partner or spouse can compromise on.

If you get stuck in a bidding war with another buyer, you need to ask yourself if you really want the house or if you just want to win the fight. The last thing you want to do is end up overpaying for a house that doesn’t completely satisfy all your needs.

5. LOVE THE HOME’S PROXIMITY.

You can change many things about a home, but you can’t change the location.

Think about what you do every day in regards to where you live. This includes where you work, where you have to take the kids to school, and where you do things for fun.

Holiday SELLER

THE

DILEMMA

TO DECORATE OR NOT TO DECORATE Many homeowners are hesitant when it comes to putting their home on the market to sell during winter months, especially around the holidays. Fortunately, you don’t need to sacrifice your holiday spirit to attract buyers and sell your home. We have put together a list of top decorating and staging tips during this joyous time of year.

DE-CLUTTER & STAGE BEFORE YOU DECORATE Before adding holiday décor into the mix, prepare your home by cleaning and staging. This means getting rid of all your random clutter and tchotchkes throughout the house so you can make room for some sensible holiday style.

TONE DOWN THE TREE. You don’t need to sacrifice the holiday tree when selling your home during the winter months. You do, however, need to trim down the size. Consider using a smaller tree that fits the space without making the room feel crowded. Use silver or gold solid color ornaments and a simple strand of clear lights.

MATCH YOUR CURRENT STYLE & PALETTE Adding in decorations with colors that have nothing to do with the existing color scheme may do more harm than good. Instead, complement your living room’s soft blue palette with subtle white snowflakes or a silver wreath.

At the end of the day, you want buyers to be able to visualize their own belongings in your home, so remember to keep all your personal family ornaments and pictures packed away, de-clutter, clean everything, and use subtle holiday accents that will complement your home’s already existing style and color palette.

BE COURTEOUS TO OTHER RELIGIOUS VIEWS Be mindful that there are many different types of religions that celebrate during the holiday season.

I recently read an article by HGTV that highlighted Amy Powers, owner of Accent Home Staging & Interiors of Atlanta. According to Powers, “you want to keep neutrality throughout, so you can attract any type of buyer – no matter what your religion is, you’re not going to feel offended by a nutcracker.”

DON’T GO OVERBOARD WITH LIGHTS Less is more when it comes to decorating with holiday lights while selling a home. Don’t be a Clark Griswold! Instead of covering your home with overthe-top light displays, settle for a simple string of lights that will complement the exterior features and architecture.

DON’T BE ONE OF THOSE HOMES. Once the Holidays are over, don’t be one of those homes that leave their decorations out for several more weeks or months. If you are serious about selling your home then take down the decorations after the Holidays and prepare the house to attract potential buyers.

Neighborhood Details to Consider When Buying a Home When it comes to investing in real estate, it’s not only the house that should be considered, but also the location, neighborhood, and everything in its proximity. Buying your first home can seem overwhelming, but it doesn’t have to be.

Before finalizing the exact home to buy, here are some helpful tips to determine if that home’s neighborhood is the right one for you and your family.

Every neighborhood has rules.

Depending on your lifestyle now, your next home may be in a neighborhood with laws that you’re completely not accustomed to. According to a recent article by real estate expert Bill Gassett, there may be restrictions on where you can park (some neighborhoods do not allow parking on the street) as well as which outdoor renovations that are allowed or prohibited on the land you own.

These rules are referred to as “restrictive covenants” and can put a damper on your daily life in the new house.

Learn them before you move in.

Do you have easy access to your favorite hobbies?

Another huge factor that comes into play is your new home’s proximity to favorite activities or hobbies. Many people tend to overlook what they’ll do in their downtime because they’re busy looking for a place that’s close to work or school. Don’t you want to live in a home that’s convenient for both business and pleasure? Having fun is just as important!

Know the HOA or Property Manager.

Before a decision is made, gain an understanding of the type of neighborhood you’re getting yourself into. Is it owned by a Homeowner’s Association or property manager? What are their rules? What about reviews? According to Forbes Magazine, you may be able to find reliable ratings online if it’s managed by a large company. Do your research, talk to neighbors, and read up on local news stories to determine if it’s the right neighborhood for you.

The noise factor.

If interested in a home whose neighborhood is right near a busy road, keep in mind how noisy it’ll be. There are a number of things that can cause noise around your home, such as nearby event centers, stadiums, pedestrian traffic, and crowded streets. Some people are okay with a little noise if that means they’re closer to the hustle and bustle of the city. If that’s not you, then you should probably re-think the location of your home and neighborhood.

Changes in property taxes & insurance rates

It’s important to know that taxes and insurance can vary according to the area or county. Learn how your area handles taxes before you move in. Otherwise, it will come as an unpleasant surprise when you discover that you actually owe much more than expected. Living in this new area may also have an impact on your car insurance rates.

BECAUSE WE WANT YOU TO LOVE THE COMMUNITY YOUR HOME LIVES IN, WE'RE COMMITTED TO INTRODUCING YOU TO SMALL BUSINESSES WHO MAKE THEM UP! TREB: HOW LONG HAS RED FOX BEEN IN THE COMMUNITY? CHRISSY: About 12 years ago, Jason & Lori Furch opened Red Fox after moving to Oregon from New York. There, Lori Furch had received her culinary education and was a pastry chef. Red Fox became McMinnville's first Artisan Bakery right in the heart of town. I started working for The Furch's 3 years after opening and learned the operations of the business. Two years ago when they decided to move back to New York, they sold the business to me.

"WE OFTEN GET PEOPLE FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY, AND THEY SAY WE REMIND THEM OF HOME" - OWNER, CHRISSY BUCK

TREB: WHAT DO YOU FEEL RED FOX'S RESPONSIBILITIES ARE AS A MEMBER OF THIS COMMUNITY? CHRISSY: We try to take care of each other. We make and hand roll all of our own breads and croissants so they are fresh, and grow most of our own herbs.

Many of our jams are made in house. Then, once a week we donate any extras to St. Barnabas Soup Kitchen for their shelter.

TREB: WHY DO YOU LOVE THIS COMMUNITY? CHRISSY: I love that we still have a sense of small town here, where people still know and take care of eachother. Other businesses on the block send things each other's way, and even borrow things when needed.

TREB: WHAT DO YOU STRIVE TO BRING TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD? CHRISSY: A family atmosphere. We often get people from other parts of the country, and they say Red Fox reminds them of home and what grandma did, "Oh my gosh, tastes exactly like my grandma's!" Overall, good food for the community, good memories for people stopping in, doing the best job we can.

TREB: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE THING TO BAKE? CHRISSY: Coconut Macaroons! They're so satisfying, and when customers smell them as they walk in they are SO excited to get some!

ABOUT CHRISSY BUCK: An industry expert, Chrissy Buck started her culinary career in Southern California in 1987.

She quickly worked her way up in the restaurant profession and was snatched up by the Marriott Corporation in Oregon, where she learned the art of fine dining and catering. After moving to Yamhill's Wine Country, she fell in love with the regions bounty and went to work for the original owners of Red Fox bakery & cafe. Her artisan goodies can be found in box lunches at wineries throughout the region, and events such as the world famous International Pinot Noir Celebration.

Money-Saving Tax Benefits for New & Long-Term Homeowners Buying and owning a home is not only an important step in life, it’s an area rich with benefits when it comes to filing an annual tax return. Jackson Hewitt Tax Service reminds tax filers not to forget or overlook the many tax credits and deductions that relate to home ownership.

“From the special tax credit for first-time home buyers, to the numerous tax incentives for making energy efficient changes to a home, there are multiple reasons for taxpayers to speak with a tax preparer and ensure they take advantage of all home ownership-related credits and deductions for which they are eligible,” said Mark Steber, chief tax officer, Jackson Hewitt Tax Service Inc. Steber reminds homeowners to keep the following tax benefits top-of-mind as they gather their tax-related documents to have their tax return prepared: First Time Home Buyer Credit: The IRS allows first-time home buyers to withdraw up to $10,000 from their traditional IRA (and even Roth IRAs) penalty-free to help with the purchase of the home. You can also borrow half of your 401(k) balance up to $50,000 for the purchase of a home. But, the interest you pay on that 401(k) loan, unlike a mortgage loan, isn’t tax-deductible.

New Home Energy Credits: Taxpayers can receive a credit for making their homes more energy efficient by caulking doors and windows, adding new insulation to attics, buying an energy efficient hot water heater or air conditioner and more. The credit amount is a total of 30% of the cost of qualifying improvements, up to $1,500.

Tax Deductions and Buying a Home: Most of the expenses incurred when buying a home are not deductible. Yet there are certain closing costs (such as brokers’ commissions, attorney’s fees, recording fees, abstract fees, surveys, title searches, owner’s title insurance policy and transfer taxes) that are added to the basis of your residence that are important to keep track of. When you sell, the basis is needed to calculate any gain or loss.

Real Estate Taxes: You may deduct real estate taxes in the year paid. They are generally reported on Form 1098 (Mortgage Interest Statement) or on your county real estate tax assessment statement. You should also deduct any prorated taxes collected from you at closing. These amounts are usually included on Form 1098, but you can get the total paid at your local tax assessor’s office if they are not reported on your Form 1098.

Local Real Property Taxes and Assessments: Local taxes are deductible if they are charged uniformly against all property in the jurisdiction and if they are based on the assessed value of your home. Many states and counties also impose local benefit taxes for improvements to property, such as assessments for streets, sidewalks, and sewer lines. These taxes cannot be deducted but you can increase the cost basis of your property by the amount of the assessment.

Mortgage Interest: The amount of mortgage interest you paid on your principal residence (or second home) is deductible if you itemize deductions. This amount is generally shown on Form 1098 (Mortgage Interest Statement). You can also deduct the points paid to purchase your residence, even though some may have been paid by the seller. Mortgage insurance premium payments that are related to the purchase of your home are deductible annually.

In addition, Steber notes that taxpayers should keep records of the cost of improvements made that add value to the home, such as landscaping, patios, swimming pools, decks, room additions and roof replacements, as these items can be added to the cost basis. Repairs such as fixing leaks, repairing roofs and painting are not deductible and are not basis additions. The cost of your own labor is not deductible.

HOW-TO

Renovate Your Home Without Exceeding Your Neighborhood Value

Before you decide to invest in major renovations on your home, it’s important to understand that not all remodels will increase the value. It is certainly possible to over-remodel, and you don’t want it to exceed the value of your neighbors’ homes. Here are some ways to get the highest return on investment (ROI) possible when the time comes to sell your home.

Projects always worth your while

Make improvements that will add value over time

There are specific renovation projects that can deliver the greatest effect on your ROI, regardless of the real estate market’s current state or the value of surrounding homes. According to real estate expert Robert Stammers in a recent article in Investopedia, these can be projects such as an addition of a wood deck, kitchen and bathroom upgrades as well as window replacements.

Some home improvements, like upgrading the technological features of a home, will not have a lasting impact, and may even bring down the home value. These types of renovations are at a higher risk of becoming obsolete and outdated as years pass. Technology and styles change all the time, so focus on improvements that are less likely to be impacted by time and are worth your investment.

Factor in location

Renovations that will pay you back

A common mistake that homeowner tend to make is renovating their homes to the point where it exceeds the value of surrounding homes. The fact of the matter is that people look in a specific neighborhood because of its proximity to nearby businesses or recreation and it’s in their price range. If improvements done to your home are much higher than homes around you, it’s unlikely that they’ll want to pay more for those improvements, even if they’re interested.

Regardless of whether a homeowner is planning to sell or not, the ultimate objective of taking on a renovation is to revel in the enjoyment you get from living in an updated home while gaining considerable profit from that investment. There are many tools out there that show the kind of profit you can expect from specific home remodels. A perfect example of this is Remodeling magazine’s “Cost vs. Value” annual report.

HERE ARE SOME OF THE FINDINGS FROM THE 2015 REMODELING COST VS. VALUE REPORT Projects that deliver the highest percentage of return on investment Entry door replacement (steel): 101.8% Garage door replacement: 88.4% Siding replacement (fiber-cement): 84.3% Siding replacement (vinyl): 80.7% Deck addition (wood): 80.5%

Projects that deliver the lowest percentage of return on investment Sunroom addition: 48.5% Home office remodel: 48.7% Master suite addition: 53.7% Garage addition: 54.7% Bathroom addition: 57.8%
