ALL THINGS REAL ESTATE

Contingency offer allows you to back out of purchase if your home doesn’t sell Q: We’ve been watching homes values rise for about a year now, then suddenly we see in the news that prices are going back down. We’ve been thinking of selling and moving up so now seems like a good time.

The problem is that we understand there are relatively few homes on the market now. We don’t want to sell our house until we are sure we have a house to move into. On the other hand, we can’t commit to buying another house until we are sure this house will sell. I don’t think we’re the only people in this dilemma. How do other people handle this situation?

A: I can’t speak to whether or not this is a good time to sell or how many houses are on the market. For that you’ll need to work with a good Realtor. But to answer your question regarding the process I can tell you the classic solution is to make the sale of your home contingent upon the close of escrow of your new home.

Over the past year we’ve seen the Solano County market flooded with money from investors.

As a result, values of homes shot up. The problem for many would-be home sellers like you was if you put your house on the market, someone will suck it up in no time. The problem then is finding something else to buy when you’re competing with so many others.

As a result, contingency sales were rare. Buyers with cash knew that your odds of finding another place were slim and they didn’t want to be hanging around for a month or two waiting to find out if the sale was going to go through.

If the situation is changing, then contingency offers may make sense.

Tim Jones There’s a question of whether or not making your sale contingent will affect the final sales price. Some buyers will undoubtedly pass you by rather that deal with the contingency.

Discuss the pros and cons with your Realtor and get his or her take on the current market conditions.

If you do offer your home for sale with a contingency provision, here’s how it works.

You do the normal listing agreement and your Realtor markets your home. Your listing on the Multiple Listing Service will indicate you’re wanting a contingency in any purchase offers you receive to give you time to find a new home. In other words, if for some reason you can’t close escrow on a new property, you aren’t committed to close escrow on your property and your buyer is out of luck.

The practical reality, however, may well be that buyers will either not want to The Law Offices of

enter into such a contract or will demand a lower sales price to compensate for the uncertainty of the sale.

If you put yourself in the buyer’s shoes, you wouldn’t feel comfortable going through the entire buying process only to have the sellers pull out because of an event for which you have no control.

The alternative is to find a seller who will accept your purchase offer with a contingency that you will not have to purchase the property if your home doesn’t sell.

This is a more common type of contingency.

The problem here is the same as with the first contingency. Sellers don’t want to commit to the sale of the property if your house isn’t already in escrow. If they are willing to do so, they may demand a slightly higher sales price to offset the uncertainty.

So what do you do?

The truth is, there’s no solid way to ensure that when your home closes escrow you will make a smooth transition into a new property. At least not if you want to get the most money

Mortgage rates pause ahead of next week’s Fed meeting THE WASHINGTON POST After several weeks of volatility, mortgage rates settled in ahead of next week’s Federal Reserve meeting.

According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average ticked up to 5.54% with an average 0.8 point. (A point is a fee paid to a lender equal to 1% of the loan amount. It is in

addition to the interest rate.) It was 5.51% a week ago and 2.78% a year ago.

Freddie Mac, the federally chartered mortgage investor, aggregates rates from about 80 lenders across the country to come up with weekly national averages. The survey is based on home purchase mortgages.

11 tips for turning your yard into a

HUMMINGBIRD HAVEN

H

THE WASHINGTON POST

ummingbirds seem like supernatural creatures from an enchanted realm that have somehow been transported into the everyday world.

Typically weighing less than a regular marshmallow, the tiny birds can buzz through the air at astonishing speeds (the Anna’s hummingbird has been clocked at speeds of about 50 mph), fly backward and turn on a dime. It’s no wonder people are eager to draw them to their yards.

A group of them, appropriately, is called a charm.

Though there are more than 330 species in the Americas, the

SKYLER EWING/PEXELS

ruby-throated hummingbird is generally the only species that makes the Mid-Atlantic its home between spring and early fall, before flying across the Gulf of Mexico to winter in Central and South America.

To regularly see the petite winged wonders while they’re in the region, you need to transform your garden into a hummingbird haven. We spoke with three experts about how to create an enchanting environment that will draw hummingbirds to your yard, including how to feed them See Haven, Page 8

SOLANO REAL ESTATE SCENE

2007 versus 2022 I will never forget going to a loan officer sales seminar in late 2006 and listening to a renowned mortgage speaker talk about how there was no bubble in the real estate market because unemployment was so low. Historically, strong employment numbers support a healthy real estate market.

I am not naming the speaker because he was dead wrong about the bubble that began to lose air quickly in April 2007, when lenders across the nation stopped doing risky stated income ARM loans. I was angry from 2008 to 2012 because of this speaker and so many big Wall Street CEOs sat back from 2003 to 2007 and kept their mouths shut while a few trillion

dollars worth of risky ARM loans were done across the country.

Unemployment was low because Americans were buying tons of homes and many existing homeowners were using the huge amount of equity they suddenly had in 2005 and 2006 to buy boats, planes, trains and automobiles. This money stimulated the economy.

In 2006, people with 640 FICO scores could refinance and pull See Porter, Page 11

Superbells Prism Pink Lemonade a stunning calibrachoa

T

here is a new Superbells calibrachoa making its debut in 2023 that is so beautiful and unusual, I’ve even wondered if Proven Winners knows what they have. Had calibrachoas been around in 1800 as Empress Josephine was constructing the gardens at Le Château Norman de MalmaiWinter son, Superbells Prism Pink Lemonade would have been her first choice.

While the name perhaps doesn’t sound like the Empress, each blossom looks as though it was already painted by her famed artist Pierre-Joseph Redoute. His rose paintings are undoubtedly the best there have

NORMAN WINTER/TNS

This white self-watering AquaPot sports Superbells Grape Punch, Superbells Black Currant Punch and Superbells Prism Pink Lemonade in the middle for an incredible trifecta of blooms. ever been. Each heirloom rose, with its nostalgic or antique look, is precisely the feeling you have when you first look at Superbells Prism Pink Lemonade calibrachoa.

Perhaps Proven Winners does know what they have, as they say

in its description, “this dynamic plant shifts its coloration through the seasons as it reacts to varying light levels and daylength.”

In my trials, the shifting of coloration began almost immediately, which is nothing short of breathtaking.

I have been so passionate about the Superbells Punch group, I felt that was all I really needed, but when I placed Superbells Prism Pink Lemonade in between Superbells Grape Punch and Superbells Black Currant Punch, it was like the angels sang.

The next oohs and ahhs came when I used Superbells Prism Pink Lemonade surrounded by the soft needle-like foliage of Lemon Coral sedum. It was really pretty simple, and everyone can do it. The oohs came when the sedum started blooming with its uncountable tiny

yellow flowers.

In another planter I combined the heirloom look of Superbells Prism Pink Lemonade calibrachoa with Superbena Royale Plum Wine verbena, which also has a certain nostalgic appeal.

Then I spotted some blue with Superbena Royale Chambray verbena, giving the planter a floral bouquet-like look. The one special trait you will love is its ability to give you different looks during the day as the sun moves from east to west.

As we head toward August, I am feeling a tinge of panic because I love to plant all three supers – Superbells, Supertunias and Superbenas – around Oct. 1 here in zone 8a. The panic is, will I be able to get them? The garden centers really want me to plant pansies. Hey, I am willing to mix in a few into my designs.

OPEN HOU

Superbells calibrachoa are so much tougher than you ever dreamed. The real prerequisite is to grow them in containers.

It is a rare gardener I find who can duplicate that perfect drainage in a landscape bed. Make feeding with a water-soluble fertilizer part of your regimen. The Garden Guy does it every other week. Then once the plant seems tired, open and worn out, don’t be afraid to cut back by a third or to healthy green leaves. This is usually in August in my area, but with early triple-digit temperatures, it moved to July this year.

The Garden Guy will never be without Superbells calibrachoas, and I am craving more of the look with the white AquaPots filled with Grape Punch, Prism Pink Lemonade and Black Currant Punch calibrachoas together.

cides in hummingbird urine and feces. Pesticides can interrupt migratory instincts and cause the birds to lose weight.” Additionally, these toxic substances can kill off the insects they rely on for food, as well as spiders, whose webs are a key building material for their nests.

From Page 3 and what to plant. Here are their suggestions.

Go flower forward Hummingbirds are attracted to the nectar from a variety of flowers. They work as natural pollinators as they move between blossoms, so the more flora, the better. Emma Greig, project leader of Project FeederWatch with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology, recommends bee balm (Monarda), cardinal flowers (Lobelia cardinalis) and hanging baskets of fuchsia.

John Rowden, senior director of bird-friendly communities with the National Audubon Society, suggests planting trumpet honeysuckle (Lonicera sempervirens), eastern red columbine (Aquilegia canadensis) and some species of milkweed, including swamp milkweed (Asclepias incarnata) and common milkweed (A. syriaca).

Don’t forget trees and shrubs Hummingbirds like to nest and roost in spots that are protected, secluded and not too close to the ground, so trees and shrubs are critical. The birds use

Choose a feeder that you can see clearly into the area holding the nectar and that’s easy to take apart for thorough cleaning. bits of lichen, plant downs and fibers, twigs, and spiderwebs to create cuplike nests that they attach to branches. These larger plants also attract a bounty of insect life, an important source of protein for hummingbirds.

“Pagoda dogwoods and flowering dogwoods are great insect-supporting native plants,” Rowden says. “And oak trees offer a smorgasbord of insects.”

Embrace native plants “Native flowers often attract native insects, which promote native birds,” Greig says. Not sure what to plant? Audubon has a Native Plants Database where people can search by Zip code to determine which hummingbirdfriendly plants will grow in their area and where to buy them.

There are many feeders on the market, but there are only two important elements to a good one: You must be able to see clearly into the area holding the nectar, and the feeder must be easy to take apart for thorough cleaning. “In warm-weather months, check it every two to three days to ensure there’s no cloudiness in the nectar,” Rowden says, because that’s probably a sign of a bacterial or fungal growth that could be harmful to the birds. “If you see any, it’s time to wash it out.”

Put the feeder close to a window This might sound counterintuitive, but “the closer you put your feeder to the window, the safer it is for birds,” Williamson See Haven, Page 9

Hummingbirds love nectar.

In addition to planting lots of flowers, gardeners can make a simple substitute by mixing 4 parts boiling water with 1 part sugar. Let the sweet solution cool before putting it in the feeder.

“We don’t recommend adding anything else, such as food coloring, vitamins or other extra doodads you can buy,” Greig says. “Most are totally unnecessary. There [are] no studies showing they are beneficial, and they may be harmful.”

Haven From Page 8 says. “This way, when they get spooked off a feeder – maybe they see a hawk flying by – they don’t get up as much speed by the time they bang into the window, so they won’t hurt themselves that much.”

Help them see the windows When birds smack into your windows – known as window strikes – they can seriously injure themselves, leave themselves vulnerable to predators or even die. Consider applying window clings, stickers or decals to your windows to alert birds to the presence of the glass. Williamson recommends placing the stickers two to four inches apart for maximum effec-

Jones From Page 2 possible for your home and to purchase the new property at a reasonable price.

I can convey the advice I have received from several experienced Realtors.

Many sellers will probably accept your contingent offer if, and only if, you put a time limit on finding a buyer.

For example, you can ask the seller of the new property to commit the property to you for a period of 10 days.

If they accept your proposal,

Mortgage From Page 2 different. It uses rates for highquality borrowers with strong credit scores and large down payments. Because of the crite-

tiveness. Or, she says, you can purchase an Acopian BirdSaver, otherwise known as Zen curtains, which have parallel lines of thin cords that stretch vertically across a window.

A birdbath is nice A birdbath gives hummingbirds a place to drink and bathe.

Just make sure to check it once a week or so to ensure the water is clean. “Put in stones that break the surface of the water,” Rowden says. “This allows them to know the depth of the water and gives them something to perch on, since hummingbirds have very weak feet.”

A little pond is nicer If you have the space, money and inclination, building a small pond on your property will exponentially increase the chances that your yard will be a hangout

for hummingbirds. “It becomes a functioning ecosystem,” Williamson says, “attracting some of the tiny little insects with aquatic larvae whose adult forms are very important food for hummingbirds, like gnats and midges. Don’t worry: They don’t bite or transmit diseases. You’ll provide a richer, more diverse food source for hummingbirds, and might even attract breeding hummingbirds.”

Mind your pets Cats and dogs are threats to the birds in your yard, so keep them inside or limit their time outside to when someone can keep an eye on them. Don’t think hummingbirds are exempt from these risks because of their speed or small size. “Hummingbirds are hovering by plants, well within reach,” Rowden says. “And they are tasty little morsels for pets.”

you must then hope you can find a buyer for your current home within that period of time.

Again, this is where you Realtor’s knowledge of the current market conditions and how your particular home fits into it is of particular value. The two of you should be able to coordinate the marketing of your property before making the purchase offer so that as soon as the seller accepts your offer you can get your home on the market without any wasted administrative time.

One final option, if you can find a buyer who is willing to go along with the idea, you can sell the property now with a 30-60 day leaseback.

In this way you can close escrow and become the buyer’s tenant for a long enough period of time to enable you to find a new home and close escrow on that one.

You simply need to be aware that, if things don’t work out as planned, there is always a risk you could find yourself living in a motel until you close escrow on your new home.

ria, these rates are not available to every borrower.

The 15-year fixed-rate average grew to 4.75% with an average 0.8 point. It was 4.67% a week ago and 2.12% a year ago.

The five-year adjustable-rate average fell to 4.31% with an average 0.3 point. It was 4.35% a

week ago and 2.49% a year ago.

Mortgage rates are caught in a tug of war – pulled one way by inflation fears, yanked the other by recession concerns. The reason rates have been seesawing is because investors can’t figure out which one worries them the most.

DAILY REPUBLIC — Friday, July 22, 2022 11

Porter From Page 5 out 100% of their home’s artificially inflated value to pay off all their credit cards and buy a Winnebago. The reason there were no foreclosures in 2006 was because every time a homeowner had a financial problem or felt they were not going to be able to make their next house payment, they could escape by selling their home or do what most did and get another refi-

nance before they fell behind.

People could do a refinance big enough to skip a couple house payments and get more cash out with no proof of income, like paystubs and tax returns. There were boiler room types of mortgage lenders in California that sold nothing but Countrywide pick-a-pay, and sub-prime ARM loans all day long by phone with their loan officers selling people down the river. “The Big Short,” which is rated R, is a true story.

2022 is nothing like 2007. We not only have a healthy Solano County real estate market with

homeowners having fixed-rate mortgages they can afford, but we are also starting to see a few more homes on the market today with almost 800 active listings for buyers to purchase.

Yes, the market has slowed and no, sellers cannot list their house for 10 to 20% more than a comparable house sold for a year ago, but this is now a market where a first-time buyer can negotiate a favorable purchase agreement. Appraisals are based on comps that have sold in the past six months and the market has been soft since

January. Buyers do not have to be concerned about the appraisal being based on comps from 2021 when mortgage rates had a three handle.

The last thing I would ever want to do is tell everyone that everything is just hunky dory like that jerk did at that seminar, but I will tell everyone that asks that we will never see anything like that shameful Ponzi scheme and the avoidable residential 2008 bubble again in my lifetime because Wall Street got caught with almost no convictions. As a matter of fact, home prices are
