Did you know?

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, homes with clock timer controlled irrigation systems use about 50 percent more water outdoors than homes without irrigation systems. Water waste can be even more significant if irrigation systems are not programmed correctly or if they have a leak. In addition, if sprinkler heads are situated incorrectly, water might be directed to areas of the lawn or garden that don’t need water, or even onto driveways and sidewalks. To reduce water waste, and save on their monthly water utility bills, homeowners can employ WaterSense labeled irrigation controllers. Such controllers adjust irrigation schedules automatically based on local weather and landscape conditions. These systems employ intuitive programming controls to schedule irrigation based on the water requirements of the plants. The controllers can make it easier for homeowners to keep their lawns and gardens green even during dry periods, such as drought, while still adhering to local water utility restrictions.

PRIVATE MORTGAGE INSURANCE: TOP 3 BENEFITS FOR HOMEOWNERS One of the most common misconceptions about purchasing a home is the need for a substantial downpayment. While purchasing a home is not without its upfront costs, including a downpayment, closing costs and moving expenses, the downpayment doesn’t need to be as large as you may think thanks to Private Mortgage Insurance (PMI).

What is PMI?

PMI is a type of mortgage insurance required on conventional loans when the borrower’s down payment is less than 20% of the overall value of their future home. This insurance is put in place to protect the lender if a borrower were to stop making payments on their loan and can be paid on a yearly basis or wrapped into your monthly mortgage payment. The good news is: PMI doesn’t last forever! Once you’ve paid down at least 20% of your home’s original appraised value, you can request your mortgage servicer to remove the PMI. If you lose track of how much you’ve paid towards principal and forget to reach out to your servicer, no worries. They are required to remove the insurance once your home equity reaches 78% loan to value based on the value at the time you originated your loan.

Top Three Benefits of PMI

Now that you understand PMI, let’s talk benefits. There are three main reasons that PMI is beneficial for homeowners, and especially first-time homebuyers. 1. Get into a Home Sooner Saving up 20% for a downpayment on a home isn’t realistic for most homebuyers. With today’s mortgage programs and PMI, borrowers can get into a home with as little as 3% down, significantly slashing the amount and time needed to save up. What’s that look like in numbers? For a $250,000 home without PMI, you’d need to put down at least $50,000. With PMI, your downpayment could be as little as $7,500. Even if you’re a superstar saver, it could take years to save $50,000. With an attainable 3% savings goal, you can create a realistic savings plan to get into a home of your very own now, rather than years into the future. 2. Keep Some Savings for the Unexpected Saving for a home is a huge accomplishment, no matter the number! But dumping all of your hard-earned savings into a downpayment to avoid the cost of PMI isn’t the right answer either. Your car could need serious repairs, you could injure yourself and incur higher medical bills, or you could crack the screen on your iPhone – all expenses you’ll be wishing you still had savings to cover. Plus, as a homeowner, you’ll want to have some extra cash on hand for repairs, new features and appliances within your home since you won’t have a landlord on speed dial to fix the busted refrigerator at no cost. Keeping a portion of your hardearned cash in a savings vehicle, like a money market, CD or other interest-earning account, ensures you’re prepared for the unexpected and allows you to continue growing your savings, rather than locking it up in your home. 3. Start Building Equity For Yourself It’s no secret that when you pay rent, your landlord is the one building equity, not you. By leveraging PMI with a lower downpayment, you’ll be able to make the jump from renter to homeowner sooner and start building up equity in your own home. Home equity is the difference between what your home is worth and the amount you owe on your mortgage. As you make monthly payments, your loan balance decreases and your home equity builds.

Make Your Home Budget Go Further

If you have already have a good-sized downpayment saved up (in addition to your emergency funds and home repair funds), you can leverage PMI to purchase a more expensive home. For example, $10,000 would be a 20% downpayment without PMI on a $50,000 home, but a 10% downpayment on a $100,000 home with PMI. That $50,000 difference could be the difference between an extra bedroom, bathroom or the garage you always wanted in your new home. Make sure to run the numbers so you know you can still afford the monthly payments, but this could be a good way to get into that home you always dreamed of sooner.

Getting Started

Whether you are well on your way to your savings goal or haven’t even made a dent, there’s never a bad time to talk to a local mortgage lender if you’re interested in owning your own home. In a judgement free zone, they’ll analyze your financial situation and help you create a plan to make owning a home of your very own the next thing you check off your bucket list.

Ultimate Upgrades Practical tips to improve your home’s function and ambiance

FAMILY FEATURES

omeowners tackling interior upgrades often focus their attention on two of the most-used rooms the in the house: the kitchen and bathroom. Tailoring these rooms to your personal preferences may enhance your enjoyment of the space, but most experts recommend thinking long term for the biggest return on your investment. If a kitchen or bathroom renovation is in your future, take a holistic approach that considers how the space will be used now and in the future.

HOME VENTURE August 2020

Kitchen Considerations

As the hub of activity for many households, the kitchen is a space that commands efficient, functional design. Aside from the practical issue of losing access to the space while it’s under construction, there’s another important challenge for homeowners to consider when tackling a kitchen remodel: for maximum return on your investment, avoid making choices that are too trendy or personal.

Design trends come and go, so while a contemporary update is almost always a good idea, many design experts recommend sticking with classic looks and styles that have broad appeal, especially for big ticket (and big price tag) elements like cabinetry. Save your flair for aspects like the backsplash tile or wall color, which can be relatively easily changed by a new owner or even yourself when you want a refresh down the road. Another area to give special attention is the overall ambiance of the room, which is largely influenced by the light from natural and electric sources. For a room that needs brightening, skylights are a smart option because they free up wall space for more storage and cabinets while adding abundant natural light. However, natural light from above isn’t the only advantage of adding skylights. Some models, such as a Velux solar-powered, fresh-air skylight, can be opened with a remote control to bring fresh air inside, which helps keep the kitchen fresh and rids indoor air of pollutants from daily activities like cooking and cleaning. Skylights can be ordered with light-filtering or room-darkening blinds, which give homeowners maximum control over the exact amount of light they want. Plus, solarpowered blinds come in over 75 colors and patterns for customizable design options that allow you to truly make the space your own. Be sure to ask whether the line you’re considering qualifies for a federal tax credit. Solar-powered skylights and blinds are eligible for a 26% federal tax credit on product and installation if purchased and installed by the end of 2020. The credit decreases to 22% in 2021.

A Better Bathroom

In the bathroom, modern upgrades are also a smart investment. However, many experts actually recommend thinking not just about what’s in vogue right now but considering needs far into the future. Universal design is especially relevant in the bathroom, where simple adjustments can provide added accessibility as you age, and these updates can flow seamlessly into the design. This means considering a vanity with a raised counter height and a taller toilet base, which can add stylish enjoyment no matter your age. Other features like a zero-entry shower deliver high-demand design and safety simultaneously. Outside of accessibility-oriented updates, upgrading your fixtures, fresh paint and contemporary tile can go a long way toward transforming a bathroom. If you find your space is still in need of a boost, a skylight may be the answer. Natural light can be that last touch to bring your space from just OK to perfect, and skylights in the bathroom allow homeowners to maximize their natural light without losing any privacy. In a space like the bathroom, where ventilation is a top concern, a choice like Velux No Leak Solar-Powered “Fresh Air” Skylights provide natural light as well as fresh air ventilation to make the environment healthier. They help rid indoor air of bacteria, volatile organic compounds and carbon dioxide. Explore more design ideas to enhance your kitchen and bathroom spaces at whyskylights.com.

Smart Climate Control Fresh air ventilation is one way homeowners can promote better indoor air quality, especially in rooms like kitchens and bathrooms which are especially vulnerable to poor air circulation. A smartphone-controlled skylight automation system such as Velux Active with Netatmo can help improve indoor climate from the convenience of your mobile device. It allows homeowners to automate when they open and close their skylights and blinds. The system monitors an online weather station and uses indoor sensors to measure temperature, humidity and carbon dioxide levels in the home. Based on a homeowner’s settings, the system will automatically open the skylights or extend the blinds as needed to improve air quality and temperature inside the home.

10 HOME VENTURE August 2020

Signs your gutters are in need of repair (Metro) — Fall is a great time to tackle projects around the house. The weather each fall allows homeowners to make improvements to their homes’ exteriors without worrying about extreme heat or cold, while interior projects like painting are made easier because homeowners can open the windows to allow for proper ventilation. Fall also marks a great time to prepare for upcoming projects that can make winter work that much easier. For example, fall is a great time to take stock of your gutters so you can address any issues before leaves begin to fall or the first snowstorm touches down. Compromised gutters can contribute to water issues in basements and adversely affect a home’s foundation if not addressed immediately, so it behooves homeowners to learn the signs that gutters are in need of repair or replacement. Gutters hanging off the home: Gutters were once installed predominantly with spikes. However, many industry professionals now install gutters with hanger brackets. Why the change? Spikes loosen over time, leading to the gutters hanging off the home. That can contribute to serious issues if left untreated. Gutters hanging off the home need not necessarily be replaced, but rather secured to the home, ideally with hanger brackets instead of spikes. Brackets hook into the front of the gutter and are then screwed into the fascia of a home. A professional who specializes in gutter repair can perform this task relatively quickly, and it’s an inexpensive yet highly effective solution. Gutter separation: Gutters that are no longer fastened together can leak and contribute to issues that affect the home’s foundation, siding and appearance. Clogs and the accumulation of debris can cause gutters to separate because they are not designed to hold too much weight. Replacement of separated gutters may or may not be necessary depending on how big the problem is and the condition of the existing gutters. If replacement is not necessary, separated gutters may be remedied by securing the joints, another relatively simple and inexpensive fix. Peeling exterior paint: Paint that appears to be peeling off of your home may indicate that water is seeping over the edge of the gutter closest to your home. When that happens, water is coming down the side of the house, causing the paint to peel. In such instances, replacing the gutters is often necessary. Basement flooding: Not all signs of deteriorating gutters are outside a home. Many a homeowner has been flummoxed by flooding in their basements, and such flooding can be caused by aging, ineffective gutters. That’s because deteriorating gutters sometimes allow water to leak near the foundation of a home, contributing to basement flooding. Fall is an ideal time to inspect gutters and have any issues fixed before leaves begin to fall or harsh winter weather arrives.
