Smart watering saves water and money

BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

S

ummer heat can be harmful in various ways. People and pets can quickly succumb to the summer sun, which can cause sunburn, heat exhaustion and heat stroke when people and their animals spend too much time outdoors without adequate protection.

Landscapes are also vulnerable to summer heat, which can quickly spoil the most lush lawns and robust gardens. Effective watering can help lawns and gardens withstand summer heat, but improper watering can deprive landscapes of the water they need to survive. Homeowners concerned about their lawns and gardens surviving the summer can take the following approach to conserve water, save money and maintain their landscapes.

• Start early. Homeowners may feel that the hottest times of the day are when lawns and gardens will be most in need of water, so that’s the best time to set sprinklers or grab the hose and get to work. But in many areas, watering between the hours of 11 a.m. and 3 p.m., when summer temperatures tend to peak, can be both wasteful and ineffective. That’s because watering between those hours will cause much of the water to quickly evaporate, robbing lawns and gardens of the water they need to withstand the heat.

Homeowners who water when water is most likely to evaporate may feel they need to water more, and that

only wastes water.

It’s best to consult a local landscaping professional in your area to determine the best time to water each day, but in many regions the best time to water is between 6 a.m. and 10 a.m., when temperatures are

generally lower, the sun is not at its peak and winds are not as strong.

• Place sprinklers correctly. If you do not have an in-ground irrigation system and don’t intend to install one, you will likely use lawn sprinklers to water the lawn. When placing these sprinklers, turn them on and then document their trajectory before moving on to the next area. You want to make sure the water from the sprinklers is not landing on sidewalks, patios or streets, especially if your community typically institutes drought restrictions that limit how much you can water. In such instances, you’ll need to make the best use of the water you’re allowed to use, so make sure none of it is watering the driveway.

• Let well-fed lawns go dormant during drought.

Lengthy droughts tend to be accompanied by water restrictions, and such restrictions can frustrate homeowners who don’t want to see all of the hard work they’ve put in to this point go to waste. But grass that has thus far been well cared for can withstand drought and still recover when rains once again fall and temperatures cool come autumn. If you plan to let the lawn go dormant, keep kids, pets and visitors off the grass, as dormant lawns are highly susceptible to damage.

Summer is an enjoyable time of year, but lawn and garden enthusiasts may be concerned for their properties when summer heat sets in. A few simple strategies can help lawns make it through the season unscathed.

New home or new shiny object :

I

The choice might be easier than you think

t’s that time of year again. The time many of you will get a tax refund. You have seen the commercials clamoring for your tax refund dollars. You should think carefully what to do with that large sum of money.

Have you considered investing that money into a home instead of a new TV or some other toy that immediately star ts to lose value the minute you take it out of the store or drive it off the lot?

You may think I could never afford a home — but you may be wrong.

Heather Montgomer y of First Liber ty Mortgage says: “There are several options when it comes to selecting the best mortgage to fit you and your family’s needs. The housing and lending market has opened up their programs to allow for more people to affordably purchase a new home. One way to help with the affordability of a new home is to take advantage of Kentucky Housing Corporation’s (KHC) down payment assistance program. This program can help satisfy the “traditional” down payment requirements needed in order to obtain financing. You can bor row up to $6,000 to put towards your down payment.

KHC’s DAP is available to all first-time and repeat home buyers who plan on purchasing a primar y single-unit dwelling with a maximum purchase price of $294,000.00.”

(NMLS# 502333 Branch NMLS# 188194 Corp NMLS# 19756 Equal Opportunity Lender.)

There are several loan programs available that enable you to get into a home with little or no money down… Ask a Realtor and we will direct you to speak with a good lender to help you maximize your options to purchase a home, whether this is your first home, or the last one you intend to buy. Even if you haven’t owned a home due to credit issues or other life changes, it may be the time with the lower interest rates of today to pursue that dream again.

Homeownership is the quickest way to building wealth for you and your families’

Homeownership is the quickest way to building wealth for you and your families’ future. It is more than just putting a roof over your head and a place to eat and sleep. Most homes increase every year in value. That is building equity. Equity is the difference between what you owe on your home and what it is worth when you sell. future. It is more than just putting a roof over your head and a place to eat and sleep. Most homes increase ever y year in value. That is building equity. Equity is the dif ference between what you owe on your home and what it is worth when you sell.

You can then take your equity and use that as a down payment on your next home. That is like free money to help you acquire a bigger or better home as you keep moving up to your dream home.

According to tax exper t Debbie Nichols, who owns three H&R Block companies in the area: “There are several tax saving items that a home owner can tax advantage of. The most commonly known and used is the home mortgage interest deduction on the Schedule A, the itemized deduction schedule. You can deduct Interest you pay on a first, second or home equity mortgage of up to $1 million for a mar ried couple filing jointly or $500,000 for a single person. The home must be used to secure the loan. A home can be a house, trailer or a boat. As long as you can sleep, cook in it and it has a toilet, it counts as a home. You can deduct on a first or second home as long as you stay within the limita-

tions set forth by the tax laws.

Other lesser known items are prepaid interest (Points), Proper ty tax deduction, Private Mor tgage Insurance deduction (PMI), and Energy Efficiency credits.

One little known tax perk from home ownership is you can rent your principal home proper ty out for less than 15 days and the money is tax-free. This is ver y popular in areas that have a great need for extra hotel rooms during major events in an area.

There are several other tax advantages to real estate ownership, including residential and vacation proper ty rental. Please see your tax advisor before you venture in to this type of property as there is record keeping requirements that must be met to fully tax advantage of these items.”

The average medium income in our area is $42,000 and the average sales price of a home in our area is around $143,000. The average house payment for this price home would be around $950 per month. A portion of that payment would be tax deductible.

In comparison the average monthly rental fee is between $600-900 per month. None of that money will come back to help you in the future.

Realtors know this and have been helping folks just like you to realize your dream of owning a home. There is no greater satisfaction to us than to guide you in this important step of security for you and your loved ones.

In addition to the financial advantages, nothing feels more serene than driving up to your home, your place of refuge and going in to that place of comfor t and familiar surroundings. You will be making priceless memories for your children to carr y on with them into adulthood.

Talk to a Realtor today. They will help you decide what is right for you at this time.

Renovations could increase property taxes Here is a look at some of the renovations that could raise your property taxes.

BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

I

f you live in New York’s Nassau County, you are possibly paying some of the highest property taxes in the country. Nassau County residents had an average property tax bill of nearly $8,500 in 2011.

Understanding property taxes is not very cut and dry. They are supposed to rise and fall with home values, but this isn’t always the case. There is roughly 80,000 pages of federal code on property taxes, and each state and town often has its own rules governing how property taxes are assessed. State and local budget cuts can raise taxes even if your home value remains the same, as will an increase of benefits for public employees. Property tax is typically the primary means that many jurisdictions raise revenue.

So if your community needs money, you can probably count on it financing that need through higher property taxes.

The two things that determine property taxes are the assessed value of your home and the property tax rate for where you live. In many cases, making improvements to the inside and outside of your home can result in higher taxes on your property.

Many homeowners do not think about the tax man when they are about to renovate their home. But it is important to consider that home repairs -- even

planting a garden -- could lead to higher property taxes. Although the vast majority of repairs that most often affect taxes include major renovations, there are lesser known repairs that can catch even savvy homeowners by surprise.

• Adding a room: Converting the garage into a bedroom or adding on a new bathroom will increase your home’s value and the property tax you’ll pay on the home. Although tax assessors don’t usually make surprise trips to your home to check for renovations indoors, they may peruse permits filed at the clerk’s office and then investigate. Permits are the primary way assessors learn about improvements, so much so that some homeowners look to circumvent permits when making renovations. But that can cause a number of problems down the line if and when you decide to sell.

• Pools and outdoor structures: Changes to a home’s exterior are some of the easiest to see and document. Permanent changes outdoors, such as the installation of a shed with a concrete floor, a deck or a pool can definitely increase property taxes.

• Landscaping: Hiring a professional to do your lawn and plants can result in higher taxes. It’s called “alteration of land improvement.” Repaving a driveway or adding a new cement walkway may also increase your home’s value and, subsequently, your property tax bill.

• Fireplaces: The installation of a fireplace can also increase a home’s value, leading to a higher tax bill as well.

Curb Appeal

BY KRISTI MCCABE

W

oodland Ridge subdivision, located off Highway 56 near Sorgho, is one of Owensboro’s newer, family-friendly neighborhoods.

The home of James and Rosemary Craig, situated at 2041 Spring Creek Trace in Woodand Ridge, has many updates and amenities and occupies a beautiful corner lot. This three-bedroom, two-bathroom home has over 2,300 square feet of living space, as well as a separate outdoor storage building and spacious patio.

“This is a very family-oriented neighborhood with lots of families who have young children,” remarked Rosemary Craig. “It’s safe and quiet and is close to town, but has the feel of being out in the country.”

“The neighbors are very friendly,” added James Craig. “And there is a

nice mixture of young families and older couples.”

The current homeowners have completed some key upgrades while living in this home, adding to its value and ascetic quality. One of these upgrades is the Hickory Tahoe wood flooring that runs throughout the kitchen, great room and entryway.

This particular choice of flooring is both striking and functional and creates a warm and formal feel.

The kitchen is inviting and spacious, with plenty of room for hosting dinners for family and friends.

New quartz countertops are another recent upgrade, and a spacious pantry and ample cabinet space provide plenty of room for storage.

The kitchen also has an island, tile backsplashes and stainless appliances.

The great room is beautiful, with its recessed lighting and tray

ceiling. There is plenty of space for a big-screen television, as well as room for toys belonging to the kids or grandkids. All three bedrooms are located on the first floor, as well as two full bathrooms.

The master bedroom has a tray ceiling, a walk-in closet and an open, airy atmosphere. The master bathroom has tiled flooring and partially-tiled walls, with a corner bathtub that offers a perfect place to relax after a long day.

In addition to the kitchen, great room, and bedrooms, the first floor also has a laundry room. The two-car garage is a nice feature, perfect for a family with more than one driver.

The home is situated on a corner lot and has very attractive landscaping.

Off the back of the house is a large patio, and a storage building offers additional space for storing tools and

lawn equipment.

On the second floor, a carpeted bonus room can serve as an office or a fourth bedroom; it has both a closet and window. This home has nothing lacking in comfort or style.

“We ran a gas line so you can have both gas and electric heat for the stove,” Rosemary noted.

James added, “This is the most comfortable home we have ever lived in when it comes to keeping a level temperature. It is never too hot or too cold.”

For the buyer in search of a beautiful home with definite curb appeal, look no further. With all that Woodland Ridge subdivision has to offer for young families, finding a place to call home there is an easy decision.

What to know about applying for a mortgage

BY STATEPOINT

A

lthough homeownership doesn’t make good financial sense for everyone, some experts say you may be qualified to purchase real estate without realizing it.

“Factor in today’s ver y low interest rates and current home prices, and affordable mortgages are within reach for many qualified borrowers who may have been hesitant to enter the market,” says Christina Boyle, senior vice president and head of single-family sales and relationship management at Freddie Mac. After receiving your application, along with the required paycheck stubs, W-2s, bank statements and tax returns, lenders will evaluate the four Cs: • Capacity: Your income, employment histor y, savings, and monthly debt payments -- such as credit card charges and other financial obligations -- help lenders determine whether you have the means to take on a mortgage comfortably.

• Capital: The money and savings you have on hand, plus investments, properties, and other salable assets.

• Collateral: The value of the home that you plan to buy.

• Credit: Your bill- and debt-paying record.

Why hiring a landscaper may be for you

BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

T

he majority of homeowners want their properties to appear as appealing as possible. While many homeowners want to be proud of their properties and come home to a welcoming home each night, the benefits to maintaining landscaping go beyond the notion that well-cared for lawns make for more comforting retreats.

Because numerous variables, including landscaping, influence proper ty values, it’s difficult to assess just how much the property values of homes with impressive landscapes are influenced by those very landscapes. Indeed, studies have produced varying results regarding the effect of well-landscaped homes on property values. But what many studies have shown and what many realtors indicate is that impressive landscaping adds a significant amount to property values, with estimates suggesting landscaping increases home values by anywhere from 5 to 20 percent.

Such estimates are good news for

homeowners, and they also highlight the stakes involved when making landscaping decisions. Homeowners with green thumbs may embrace the challenge of revitalizing their lawns and gardens, but many, especially those pressed for time, can benefit greatly from working with professional landscapers.

Why hire a professional landscaper?

Maintaining a proper ty requires more than just mowing the lawn every couple of weeks. Even homeowners committed to making their properties as pristine as possible can run into problems when adverse weather conditions pose a threat to lawns and gardens. The following are just a handful of reasons why homeowners may find working with landscaping professionals is the best thing for their properties and their bank accounts.

• Professionals understand the local climate. Experienced professional landscapers will understand the local climate

and the challenges it presents to your lawn. Experience can prove invaluable as lawns battle adverse conditions that threaten its survival. While homeowners going it alone may struggle through a trial and error period as they try to address problems threatening their lawns, experienced professionals are more likely to identify the problem immediately, providing a ready solution that can prevent potentially costly repairs down the road.

• Professionals can provide inspiration. In addition to maintaining properties, many landscaping professionals have vast experience improving properties through landscape design. Professional landscapers may have a host of ideas for your property that you would never think of. Homeowners with little to no lawn and garden experience may not realize all the things they can do with their properties, and those who go it alone may end up with unappealing landscapes that do not attract buyers’ attention when the home hits the market. Professionals typically have a wealth

of ideas and, perhaps more importantly, they understand which ideas will and won’t work on a given property.

• Professionals can remove some of the stress of managing landscaping projects. Homeowners know that home improvement projects, whether they are addressing home interiors or exteriors, can be stressful. Professional landscapers typically have a network of professionals, including contractors, who they have worked with in the past. Such connections can ensure more complex projects that require both landscapers and construction contractors go as smoothly as possible. In addition, homeowners who receive contractor recommendations from their experienced landscapers tend to rest easier knowing the people working on their properties have already developed a rapport and established a successful track record working together.

Professional landscapers can be just what homeowners need to turn their properties into appealing oases no buyer can resist.

Make the most of this year’s real estate season

BY BPT

S

pring is here! This season of new beginnings also marks the star t of the year’s busiest real estate period.

According to the Federal Home Loan Mor tgage Corporation, the housing market in 2016 is set to be quite active with a 3 percent increase in total home sales compared to the previous year. If you’re planning to enter the housing market this year, buying or selling a home is a big decision and you can count on plenty of competition. To ensure you make the cor rect home buying or selling decisions, it’s impor tant to do your research and arm yourself with valuable information.

“Selling or purchasing a home is one of the biggest and most important transactions many consumers will make in their lifetime,” says Tim Haynes, president of American Home Shield (AHS). “It’s important for ever yone involved to make smart decisions that will help a home stand out in a competitive real estate market, and at the same time, pr otect against costly br eakdowns.”

For both home buyers and sellers, AHS recommends preparing for what will happen vs. what might happen. A home warranty not only helps protect a home’s systems while it’s on the market, but also helps provide buyers with additional confidence in their purchase. For an already financially stretched homebuyer, it’s impor tant to know that a home warranty covers what homeowners insurance doesn’t - the repair/replacement of home system appliances.

To help you make the most of the spring home season American Home Shield offers these tips.

• Sellers: improve curb appeal. First impressions matter.

Take your home’s exterior from drab to fab. Trim shr ubs, mow the lawn and remove all dir t/ debris from around the outside.

Make sure the house numbers, mailbox and lighting fixtures near the front door look inviting. Add plants and comfy furniture to the porch for a welcoming touch.

• Sellers: optimize the space.

Add the illusion of extra square footage by using the same paint in a lighter shade across rooms to create a seamless transition.

Remove family photos and any customized decorations so the buyer can picture living in the home. Be sure to keep the master bedr oom gender neutral.

Lastly, have a professional cleaner shine the home, especially often-neglected areas like carpets, ceiling fans and baseboards to make a bigger impact.

• Buyers: do your homework.

Narrow your home search to particular areas and neighborhoods that appeal to you with regard to housing prices, school districts and work commuting times.

Determine your budget and stick to it. Familiarize yourself with the real estate market and your rights as a homebuyer. Know your credit score and take steps to improve it, if necessar y.

• Buyers: ask the right questions. Don’t be afraid to directly ask the seller “what’s wrong with the house?” Ask to see disclosure for ms around any issues with the house and check the age/condition of major home systems, like heating, plumb-

ing, electrical and air conditioning - this can cut your costs in the long r un. Additionally, an independent professional home inspection is highly recommended. This is an investment that can pay for itself many times over, especially if hidden defects are found.

American Home Shield is the nation’s largest home war ranty company, ser vicing homes for over 45 years of fers tips to arm and has a trustworthy network of over 3,000 contractors.

3 often-overlooked home-staging tricks

BY BPT

I

f you’ll be selling your home this spring or summer, your Realtor will probably talk to you about staging the house to maximize its appeal to buyers. Staging is a simple process that can have a big impact on how quickly your home sells and, Realtors say, how much buyers are willing to pay for it.

If you’ve decided to stage your home for a speedier, more profitable sale this season, keep in mind these three often-overlooked tricks to make your home look, feel and smell great:

Employ aromatherapy

“Aromas significantly impact emotions, so making your house smell good is a great way to appeal to potential buyers on a very elemental level,” says Charlynn Aver y, aromatherapist and educator for Aura Cacia, an essential oil brand “But be careful to not over whelm with scents that are too

‘perfumey’ or synthetic, as those could cause adverse reactions in people who suffer from allergies. Instead, opt for natural freshening scents like lemon or purifying scents like eucalyptus.”

Aver y suggests warming water on the stove with a few drops of your favorite essential oil such as cinnamon, clove, vanilla or orange. It’s a quick, low-cost way to create a welcoming aroma in your home. Deodorize carpets with a mixture of 18 drops of essential oil and 1 cup of baking soda.

Or, you can easily create your own air freshener by mixing your favorite essential oils and distilled water in a spray bottle.

Declutter even where you don’t think it counts

Your real estate agent will likely tell you to declutter - removing extra items from kitchen counter tops and from tables throughout the home, packing away family photos and excess knickknacks. All those things are impor-

tant, but what happens when a potential buyer opens the hallway closet, or goes into the walk-in closet in your master bedroom?

It’s impor tant to declutter ever ywhere, not just the spots you immediately see when you walk into a house.

Serious buyers will open drawers, cabinets and closets and if those spots are stuffed full, they’ll look smaller, less impressive and unappealing.

Likewise, clean out your garage; it’s hard for a buyer to appreciate the expansiveness of your two-car garage if that’s where you’ve stored all the boxes of stuff you removed from the house. If you have a lot of stuff to pack away, consider renting a storage unit for a few months.

Clean as if your life depended on it

Kitchens and bathr ooms sell homes, but even a hint of dir t in either room can wipe out a buyer’s good impression of your home. A deep clean is essential in these rooms, and

will create a positive effect on multiple levels; your home will look and smell clean, fresh and newer.

In the bathroom, be sure bathtubs and showers are meticulously clean.

Descale showerheads and glass shower doors, clean and polish metal drain grates as well as fixtures. Clean grout, mirrors and every crevice. Add a few drops of lemon or sweet orange essential oils to sink and shower drains to keep them smelling fresh.

In the kitchen, in addition to clean countertops, floors and appliance exteriors, make sure the inside of ovens, refrigerators and dishwashers are also clean. Since kitchen appliances usually come with the house, buyers may look inside them. Change the filter in your kitchen hood and make sure the light over the stove is working. Finally, while clean windows are important throughout the house, they’re essential in a kitchen where buyers want to envision themselves in a bright, welcoming environment.
