Find an affordable home in today’s market

BY STATEPOINT

A

f fordable housing is in high demand in cities and counties nationwide. Exper ts say that ar eas grappling with af for dable housing issues may find factor y-built homes to be a power ful tool in addressing this need.

Built in a factor y and delivered to home sites, this ef ficient process translates into lower production costs that are passed on to the consumer.

The good news is while manufactured homes cost less than site-built homes they are just as high quality. The average new manufactured home costs around $70,600. The cost for a smaller new single-section home can be as low as $20,000. In 2016, manufactured homes accounted for 80 percent of all new homes sold under $150,000.

Unfor tunately, when many people think of manufactured housing, the old stereotype of a run-down trailer park enters their minds. However,

most of the more than 37,000 manufactured housing communities in the U.S. are a far cry from that negative image, boasting amenities like community centers, organized activities and children’s play areas. Other benefits may include: • The option to rent an existing home in the community or place your own home in the community.

• Provided ser vices, which often include professional property management, care and maintenance of common grounds, as well as resources and amenities like trash removal, community centers, playgrounds, storage and laundry facilities.

• The possibility of not paying real estate taxes. While it varies state-tostate, residents of land-lease manufactured home communities often don’t pay real estate taxes, but rather, pay a personal-property tax, offsetting the cost of land-lease rents for the homeowner.

• Af for dable homeownership,

Smar t buyers also are turning to ENERGY STAR-labeled manufactured homes for additional savings.

Modern manufactured homes are among the safest housing choices today, as homes must adhere to strict federal building standards. All aspects of construction are continually inspected by professionally trained third-parties, and homes feature smoke detectors, and limited combustible materials around furnaces, water heaters and kitchen ranges, as well as wind resistance in areas prone to hurricaneforce winds.

“The need for quality, af fordable housing has never been greater. However, today’s manufactured homes are high-quality and cost up to 50 percent less per square foot than conventional site-built homes,” says Richard Jennison, president and CEO of the Manufactured Housing Institute. “These savings are allowing more Americans to own a home in the face of an everwidening housing affordability gap.”

along with many of its benefits, including control over home and yard improvements, as well as convenient parking.

• A sense of community. In many communities, there are social or activity clubs, fitness amenities, and friendly and caring neighbors. Indeed, “sense of belonging” is among the most frequent responses about why residents enjoy living in a land-lease community.

Newer manufactured homes come in a variety of architectural styles and exterior finishes that will suit most any buyer’s desires, as well as customization oppor tunities, including interior features like vaulted ceilings, fireplaces and state-of-the-art kitchens and baths.

They also feature enhanced energy ef ficiency in an era of rising energy costs, thanks to upgraded insulation and more efficient heating and cooling systems than homes from decades ago.

Personal Space

Classic Charm

BY KRISTI MCCABE

T

he home of Lynette Ross, located at 1813 Littlewood Drive, is both quaint and spacious, elegant and comfortable, and the perfect find for the homeowner in search of that ideal Griffith-area home. Built in 1940, this house has the character and charm one expects of Owensboro’s most coveted neighborhood, as well as upgrades that give it a modern touch.

Ross fell in love with this home quickly, and the location was one of its big selling points.

“The neighbors are wonderful, and it’s a very safe and quiet area,” Ross remarked. “I love being outdoors here, sitting in the backyard and walking through the neighborhood. It’s absolutely beautiful.”

This home has definite curb appeal, with a red brick path leading to the arched doorway, meticulous landscaping, a retaining wall that borders the recently-widened driveway, and a fenced-in backyard. A carport located to the side of the home offers a nostalgic feel, and an attached storage bin provides a place for keeping tools and other outdoor necessities.

The home has retained its original hardwood flooring, which includes that in the beautiful formal dining room.

The dining room is exceptionally spacious, with a beautiful chandelier, crown molding, and wainscoting. The kitchen is the only room in the home with hardwood flooring that has been updated; it is engineered hardwood.

This room is simply stunning, with white cabinetry, stainless appliances, and granite countertops.

“The kitchen has been partially remodeled,” Ross said. “It’s one of my favorite rooms in the house. I love the double oven.”

The first-floor den served as the maid’s quarters in a previous life and is both warm and inviting. The den has its original wood-paneled ceiling, crown molding, hardwood floors, and a set of doors leading to the backyard.

In addition to the den, a formal living room offers a space for entertaining guests and spending quality time with family. This room is quite spacious, with hardwood floors, a fireplace enclosed by a white mantel, and chair-rail molding. The fireplace can be either wood-burning or gas.

All four bedrooms are located on the second floor, as well as two full bathrooms. Two of the upstairs bedrooms are quite striking, with a strip of crimson-colored crown molding wrapped around the top of the room. One of these rooms currently belongs to Lynette’s daughter, and the other functions as a study. The study is unique, with a built-in computer desk between two closets. The fourth bedroom has

clay-colored walls, oversized windows, and carpeted floors.

The master bedroom has its original hardwood flooring, crown molding, and multiple windows that provide an abundance of natural lighting. A set of doors leads to a small patio off the master bedroom. The master bathroom has his-and-hers vanities with beautiful black cabinetry, shuttered windows, and a tiled shower.

Still more living space is found in the basement, which includes a laundry area, a great room, a bar area, and a full bathroom. The basement bathroom is beautiful and luxurious, with an air-jetted bathtub and shower combination, tiled flooring, tiled shelving in the shower combined with tiled walls, a marble vanity, and double elongated cabinets for storage clothing

and linens.

“I love the safety of having a basement,” Ross said. “It is comfortable and spacious as well.

It makes a great area for guests, for teenage children, or for quiet relaxation.”

With three separate floors of living spaces, this home can accommodate the needs of families of any size.

Comprised of four bedrooms, threeand-a-half bathrooms, and over 4,300 square feet of living space, this is truly a dream home.

“We have truly enjoyed living here,” Ross said. “There is so much character and history in this area. It’s close to everything, yet private and quiet. This is a great place to live.”

Rent vs. own: Which is right for you?

BPT

I

f you’re thinking of buying your first home, you’ve probably wrestled with the decision to rent or own your home - and for good reason.

Owning a home is a big commitment. With it comes a lot of responsibility and a long-term financial relationship.

But which is right for you? To answer that, let’s lean into the facts.

The improving housing market

Good news! Since the depths of the recession, the housing market has made a heroic comeback. That can be attributed to a number of factors, including a drop in unemployment and a stronger economy.

But as the housing market has recovered, it has experienced some growing pains. With a sharp increase in demand, housing supplies are being strained. This means, among other things, that prices are going up.

“Having a place to call your own, a place to return to at the end of the day, makes life better,” said Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance, Inc. President Eric Hamilton. “You can see it from the moment they make the decision - that sense of pride. It’s a lifechanging event and a memor y that will last a lifetime.”

5 must-have home features for retirees A 4. Low maintenance

BY BPT

s we move through the different stages in our lives, our housing needs change too. The home you were excited to move into in your 30s might not be ideal for those now nearing retirement.

According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, between 2015 and 2035, the number of people over the age of 75 living alone will nearly double from 6.9 million to 13.4 million. Being prepared for retirement and aging is important, so we’re going to take a closer look at the specific housing features that would most benefit those who are looking to downsize or find that perfect home to “age in.�

1. Walk-in showers

Installing a walk-in bathtub or large shower is a good idea for ease and safety. Having extra room to move is not only aging-friendly, but a timeless trend that is easy to maintain. Clayton, one of America’s largest homebuilders, features optional walk-in showers with benches that are available in many of their homes.

This is a feature that’s great at any age.

Fixing up an older home with good bones might look fun on TV, but it’s not something you will want to deal with in your retirement. Rather than tr ying to troubleshoot problem after problem, look for a newly constructed home. Not only will you have fewer maintenance issues, but you can design a flexible floor plan that fits your lifestyle.

5. A customizable floor plan

2. Wide doors and hallways

for any homeowner age is an open floor plan. But for boomers, an open floor plan is more than just an aesthetic feature. Having wide spaces that allow you to move around is essential to maintaining your independence as you grow older. It also helps add more natural 3. Open floor plans light and is ideal when gathering with A home design trend that is perfect family and friends.

Spacious doors and wide hallways do the double duty of making your home look great while providing enough space to maneuver a wheelchair or walker through if needed.

The features listed so far are part of what is commonly known as age-in-place design. These home features work for people of all ages, but are designed so you can age into them. In addition, make sure the home you purchase is single-stor y and fits the lifestyle you want for your future.

As you grow older, you realize there is no one, perfect dream home. Rather, there are different dream homes for different stages of your life.

7 steps for a healthier home A

BY FAMILY FEATURES

s homeowners become increasingly aware of the impact their homes can have on the environment - and on their health - making eco-conscious choices is as impor tant as ever. From controlling the types of materials used within your home to keeping an eye on indoor air quality, these tips can help you create a healthier, more earth-friendly indoor environment.

Use a water filter. Depending on where you live, different contaminants could reside in your tap water. Rather than risk consuming these contaminants or drinking bottled water, which can generate significant waste, consider purchasing a refrigerator with a filtered water option, attaching a water filtration device to your faucet or using a filtered water pitcher.

Ditch plastic food containers. Some plastics are not as high quality as many think and may contain toxic materials, making them potentially harmful - especially when used for storing food.

Instead, opt for glass, silicone, cloth or stainless steel storage containers, which are friendlier to the environment and pose fewer toxicity risks. Plus, many of these containers can be placed directly in an oven or microwave to safely reheat food.

Install eco-friendly insulation. Certain materials in your home, such as insulation, can be replaced with sustainable options that also improve indoor air quality. Consider replacing your existing attic insulation with sheep’s wool insulation, such as allnatural options from Havelock Wool.

This renewable, high-performing and safe-to-handle material excels at managing moisture while improving indoor air quality through the absorption of formaldehyde, nitrogen oxide and other harmful substances. Learn more at havelockwool.com.

Clean “green.” Cleaning products can be made with ingredients that are harmful to the environment, as well as your family’s health. Make sure you know what is in your household cleaners before using them and, whenever possible, look for cleaners that have been certified as green.

Deal with dust. Even if you don’t struggle with allergies or asthma, over time, dust particles can be unhealthy

for you and your family. Vacuum frequently and use a wet mop on floors without carpet to limit the formation of dust bunnies throughout your home.

Clean and replace your vacuum’s filter frequently to ensure you’re trapping maximum dust. Also regularly wash towels, linens and other textiles, including window treatments.

Replace air filters. Older, dirty air filters can circulate dust, pollen and other particles throughout your home. They can also cause your air conditioner and heater to run less efficiently, which can result in higher energy consumption.

Rather than pushing potentially harmful dust particles into your house and causing your systems to work overtime, inspect your air filter often and change it regularly. You might also want to consider installing a wholehome air purifier or placing portable air purifiers in frequently used rooms.

Reduce energy and natural resource usage. Tr y installing timers on your lights so they turn on only at specified

times. To take it a step further, consider installing lighting with vacancy sensors that automatically shut off the lights when a room isn’t being used.

Choose energy-ef ficient appliances, low-flow toilets and consider adding a rain barrel outside to collect rainwater,

which can be used for chores such as watering plants, irrigating the lawn or washing your car.

Although it may not be practical to implement all of these ideas at once, little by little you can make small changes that add up to a big difference.
