Real Estate tips and Advice

Do It Yourself If you can’t afford a home energy audit, the U.S. Department of Energy offers tips to complete an audit yourself. While it won’t be as thorough as a professional job, you might uncover some energy problems in your home that can save you money and energy if corrected. Visit https:// energy.gov/energysaver/do-ityourself-home-energy-audits for instructions.
WHAt to ExpECt
An auditor will walk through your home room by room, test your heating and cooling equipment and look over your past utility bills. He may even perform a thermographic scan to determine the relative temperature of your home at various points. the Residential Energy Services Network offers listings of home energy auditors who meet its standards for ethics, objectivity and technical proficiency and agree to its complaint resolution procedures. Visit http://bit. ly/2lwqEnL to find professionals in your area. AUDIt oR RAtING?
RESNEt certified professionals offer two different
services: audits and ratings. A rating helps you understand how energy efficient your home is when compared to other homes, as well as a projected idea of your energy costs. An audit is more thorough, “pinpoint(ing) where and how a home is losing energy, which systems are working inefficiently and what cost effective measures can be put in place to rectify the situation,” according to RESNEt.
A rating costs about $450, while an audit ranges in price from $300 to $800. An audit can uncover common problems, such as a home getting too hot in summer or too cold in winter, moisture problems, air leakage and out-of-control utility costs, according to RESNEt. A rating is commonly ordered by prospective home buyers to gauge a home’s energy efficiency. A rater assigns homes a
Home Energy Rating System (HERS) score, which RESNEt calls “an MpG for homes.” A lower score is better, indicating a home does a good job of retaining the heated and cooled air produced by your HVAC systems. Raters consider air leaks from both the home’s external structure and the HVAC ductwork, the condition of attics, foundations and crawlspaces, the effectiveness of HVAC systems,
the efficiency of water heaters, the condition of windows, doors, vents and ductwork, as well as the effectiveness of insulation. According to RESNEt, a typical resale home represents 130 on the HERS Index while a reference home (a standard new home built in 2006) is rated at 100. A home with a HERS score of 70 is 30 percent more energy efficient than a standard new home, and a home with a score of 130 is 30 percent less energy efficient than a standard new home. A home energy audit goes one step further than a rating, outlining measures homeowners can take to “make the home more comfortable, affordable and energy efficient,” according to RESNEt.

By ANNA CHANG-YEN | Green Shoot Media If you suspect that your home is leaking out your hard-earned dollars in the form of heating and cooling, a home energy audit is your best bet to find the literal and figurative holes and plug them. According to the U.S. Department of Energy, having an audit and following up on the auditor’s suggestions can save homeowners 5 percent to 30 percent in energy costs.

tract. real estate transactions can sometimes be fast-paced, so this feature gives buyers an edge by keeping them up-to-date on local inventory. VALuATioN Because MLS systems offer comprehensive financial information, they assist buyers and sellers’ agents in determining whether or not a listing price is fair. This can help make the difference between winning or losing at the negotiating table. MLSs also are frequently used by appraisers looking to assign a value to a home. Appraisers look at the sale prices of similar homes on the MLS in the area of the home they are
appraising — also known as “comps” or “comparables” — in order to determine the home’s value in the current real estate market. This can be a benefit and a disadvantage to buyers and sellers. For example, a home may be worth more than the sale prices of similar homes on the MLS, but favorable private, new-construction or for-sale-by-owner transactions will not appear in the MLS, which could result in a low appraisal. Appraisers can use listings other than those found on the MLS to arrive at their valuation, but these sales often must be brought to their attention. rESEArCH MLS systems are a fantastic resource
for research. if you’re interested in what your home’s value on the market might be, contact a real estate agent who participates in the MLS and ask for a market analysis. You could soon be hanging a for-sale sign on your lawn. if you’re wondering whether your dream home can fit within your budget, or you saw a for-sale sign and might be persuaded to buy if the home is in your preferred school district, speak to an agent about your interest in the market. The MLS offers this data and more, and an experienced agent can help you put it to use.

These databases provide a wealth of information about homes listed for sale, making them a first stop of many buyers in their home search and a vital marketplace for sellers. First conceived as a way to help brokers representing buyers and sellers connect, today a network of private MLS systems are accessible online by brokers and other real estate professionals.

Buyers and their agents can find photos, descriptions and specific information about properties for sale, including basics such as square footage, number of rooms and room measurements; particulars of the home such as the type of heating system it uses and included appliances; location information, such as the municipality and other public districts in which the home is located; price information including previous listing and purchase prices; and specifics about financial considerations such as previous years’ property taxes and homeowner’s association dues. This breadth of information makes the MLS a buyer’s best friend when it comes to pinpointing properties of interest.

Every new generation wants to build the better mouse trap, and the home building business is leading the way. Traditional home construction has its place with style, grace and aesthetic beauty, but older homes sometimes fail to meet the needs of today’s savvy buyer. Prime home buyer concerns have been collected and calculated by the construction industry to assist in building a better home product. Wrap-around comfort and energy-efficient accommodations are the trends, and they are offered at a fair price when compared to updating an older home. THE BASICS newer homes typically are orientated with an open floor plan that flows from the main living areas. Vaulted ceilings lift the living space to new heights with spacious dimensions that add a sense of more square footage. Cramped quarters are out, and freedom of motion is in. Many newly constructed houses have incorporated a larger laundry space either into the home interior or by enlarging the garage to accommodate a full sized washer and dryer with a generous cabinet area. Regardless of the bedroom and bathroom count in the home, utility spaces are easily incorporated into smaller homes and remain a front-running selling feature.

GOInG GREEn The buzz word today is “green,” and finer newly constructed houses have mastered this art to perfection. Energy-saving home features include alternative energy resources that not only protect the environment but also keep energy costs down. Solar

Anyone who has removed a wall before knows there is always the possibility of surprises waiting behind the drywall. some things you can find when demolishing your walls include electrical wires; pipes and utilities; and water damage. Be prepared to work through any of these challenges when moving forward with your project. You may have to incur extra costs of hiring a plumber or electrician to handle loose wires or plumbing. set a realistic budget to make sure you can cover extra costs that may come up.

When it comes to living spaces, more Americans are thinking outside the box — literally. Home remodeling companies are busy across the country knocking down interior walls in favor of more open concepts. Homes built decades ago often featured walls between kitchens, living and family rooms. Older homes were built in this way to better control heating and cooling, or because lumber from that period might not have been capable of spanning larger distances. Today’s design experts recommend building with space in mind. This means leaving these rooms unboxed by pesky walls. If you’re looking for a quick remodeling job that could do wonders for your home’s layout and overall value, a wall removal might be your best bet. LOAd-BeArIng WALL? Of course, there are some things to know before you break out the sledgehammer. Load-bearing walls support the weight of your roof, attic and second floor. While all exterior walls are load-bearing,
only some interior walls are classified as such. That’s why it’s important to check with a local contractor to ensure you’re not planning on tearing down a load-bearing wall. Here are some things to consider when trying to deter-

can get a good idea of the parking situation when most people are home from work. one of the main health concerns that comes with living near a public roadway is the amount of pollution expelled by the exhaust systems of vehicles, as well as dust levels. the environmental Protection Agency suggests investing in an air purifier to eliminate particulate matter and gaseous pollutants. A busy road clearly will create plenty of noise, safety risks and a lack of privacy. However, if you can manage the downsides, you might find the house of your dreams next to an action-packed street.
