THE SOUTHCOAST LOOKING EAST There are residential real estate markets around New England that have been bustling for some time now. I often point to urban communities like Boston. In fact, agents in New Bedford are reporting signs of life. But not every town has experienced a surge in buyer demand, low inventory levels and price stability. Sure, there’s been quite a bit of positive news as of late, yet, that doesn’t mean real estate's rising tide is raising every boat. Then again, it’s not beaching them either. Mattapoisett is a perfect example. Consider 61 homes sold in 2011 while 57 sold in 2012. Market volume was $35 million in 2011 compared to $31 million last year. Also, ending inventory consisted of 42 properties at the end of 2011 and, ironically the same

number this year. Richard Strang of Sea Horse Realty of Mattapoisett, Inc. has been a REALTOR®, Broker for 12 years. Despite the sluggish stats, he explains what's happening and why. "Foreclosures and short sales are still going strong. Homes under $300,000 are popular which usually include 3 beds, 1.5 baths and about 1600 square feet. . . Since interest rates have ticked up a bit, buyers might consider this a push." While the tide remains out in Mattapoisett, in Wareham, it’s coming in fast and strong. In the years between 2011 and 2012, sales have increased 38% with total dollar volume rising by 35%. More over, their fourth quarter numbers are

Affordable, Efficient, Ambiance. Go Green with Pellet Fuels by South Shore Wood Pellets

A sensible alternative to the more expensive and environmentally harmful traditional home heating fuels is green friendly pellet fuels. Pellet fuels are made of wood waste, from forest thinning by-products and other biomass ingredients. The production of pellet fuels diverts millions of tons of waste from landfills and turns it into a clean, renewable energy source. The burning of pellet fuels reduces greenhouse gases emitted in the environment when compared to the burning of home heating oils, propane or natural gas. Over the past several years, pellet fuels have been an extremely cost stable home heating alternative, and pellet fuels are currently used throughout North America. According to data from the Pellet Fuels Institute, pellets are a limitless fuel source since they are produce from wood waste, as well as from forest thinning by-products and other biomass ingredients. North American pellet fuels are produced in manufacturing facilities in Canada and the United States. 12 12

NEHomeLife.com | February 2013 NEHomeLife.com | July 2012

Currently, there are 1.5 million homes in the United States using wood pellets for their home heating, in freestanding stoves, fireplace inserts and even in furnaces. Pellet fuel for heating can also be found in such large-scale environments as schools, prisons and other large capacity facilities. Pellet stoves pollute less than the EPA-certified wood burning stoves and in fact, less than any other heating appliance that burns solid fuels. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends that traditional fireplaces be replaced with non-wood burning stoves like pellet stoves. A properly vented, installed and maintained wood pellet stove will have little effect on your indoor air quality and will have the least impact on outdoor air quality, as they emit much less pollution than traditional home heating alternatives. This is evident when comparing the smoke coming out of the stove, the wood pellet stoves are so efficient in the burning process that the smoke emitted from their vents

is clear as compared to other home heating alternatives who’s smoke may be grey or black. Their efficient burning has an added benefit to the homeowner, allowing wood pellet stoves to be vented outdoors through a pipe in an outside wall instead of through a chimney. As a result, wood pellet stoves can be installed almost anywhere in the home. An important point of note is pellet stoves do require electricity to work but require a very nominal amount of electric energy. Pellet stoves come in several designs, are sturdy, reliable and offer a safe and efficient alternative to traditional home heating options. Pellet fuels are manufactured from construction waste products and keep millions of tons of wood waste out of landfills yearly. Pellet fuels are clean burning, highly efficient, cost stable and the perfect choice for the environmentally conscious homeowner.

The Pellet Advantage • Diverts millions of tons of waste from Landfills • Renewable & limitless fuel source • Cost stable, low cost home heating alternative • Clean burning and efficient • In over 800,000 homes in the U.S.

Featuring Certified | Energy Star Homes

How New Homes Earn the ENERGY STAR

To earn the ENERGY STAR, a home must meet strict guidelines for energy efficiency set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Homes achieve this level of performance through a combination of energy-efficient improvements, including:

• Effective Insulation Systems • High-Performance Windows • Tight Construction and Ducts • Efficient Heating and cooling Equipment • ENERGY STAR Certified Lighting and Appliances To ensure that a home meets ENERGY STAR guidelines, third-party verification by a certified Home Energy Rater (or equivalent) is required. This Rater works closely with the builder throughout the construction process to help determine the needed energy-saving equipment and construction techniques and conduct required on-site diagnostic testing and inspections to document that the home is eligible to earn the ENERGY STAR label. Construction Example: Cape with all the bells and whistles and a two car attached garage $349,900. PROUDLY BUILT BY: AJ Sousa Construction

The Price of Building a New Home By Peter Rochford â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Project Manager, Contractors Network Residential

it's most economical to build a home, which is no deeper than 32 feet.

Shape of Home

Homes that have a rectangular or box shape cost less to build. Having more angles and corners in the shape of your home can increase the amount of labor and materials needed to build a home.

Site Preparation Count the Square Footage

Look at newly constructed homes that are similar in size, style, quality, and features to the home you want. Take the price of the home, deduct the price of the land, and divide that amount by the square footage of the home. After you have calculated an average square footage cost, you can multiply that cost by the finished square footage of your house plan to get a ballpark estimate.

Expect Some Features to Cost More

The most expensive areas in a home are usually the bathrooms and the kitchen. The number of windows and the size and quality of windows can also affect the cost. Vaulted ceilings and high roof pitches can increase the cost of a home. Small details in the design of your home can make a big difference in the price. To save on costs, begin estimating construction expenses before you select your final blueprints. Here are important factors to consider:

Size of Home

When building a home, it's best to work with even numbers. Have your home size rounded up or down to increments of two feet. This reduces wasted materials. Also, 56 56

NEHomeLife.com | February 2013 NEHomeLife.com | July 2012

Preparing a site for construction can have a big impact on the cost of a home. Building on a flat lot will usually cost less. If you have to haul in lots of dirt, do a lot of grading, clear trees, or blast through large rocks, then site preparations can become more expensive.

* Cost Overruns

Usually the finished cost of a home is more then the original bid price. Cost overruns occur from overspending the allowances, making changes, and encountering unforeseen problems. Proper planning can greatly reduce cost overruns. In general, it is a good idea to allow an additional 10% to cover unexpected costs.

* Inflation and Market Conditions

Usually the cost of building a home increases around 3% to 6% per year. If it will be several years before you begin construction, remember to include inflation into the cost estimate for your home.

* Estimate Review

At CNI Residential we sit down with our clients and explain the cost of every piece of an estimate. We have been doing this for a long time and have found that good estimating is essential in any construction project.

Turning On The Heat

Renewability, environmental impact, technology and cost stability are todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real considerations in heating your home.

Traditional home heating options continue to be sound choices for home heating but with so many alternatives today and so many technological advancements in this area homeowners need to stay up-to-date on the latest information and alternatives. Oil, propane and natural gas have long been the primary alternatives for home heating. These fossil fuels for years were widely available, reasonably inexpensive to install and operate, fairly cost stable, reliable and safe. Recently, significant technology improvements in thermostats, burners and other equipment have made these fuels even more efficient and cleaner burning than ever before. Smart, traditional fuel companies have created consumer-friendly budgeting programs, have combined service and fuel delivery agreements, and auto refill programs

that help mitigate cost variances and make traditional fuels very consumer-friendly and an easy choice. Consumers are educating themselves on other alternatives in home heating. Some are motivated by their own personal green movement and hope to reduce their carbon foot print, others are seeking more cost stability, many just want to know their alternatives and seek to reduce their annual costs. Today, there are numerous choices in home heating, everything from the traditional, home heating oil, propane and natural gas, to clean burning stove alternatives, pellet fuels and highly efficient geothermal options. Over the next 8 pages, we walk you through some of the best options for home heating and let suppliers in your backyard discuss with you the benefits of each.

Five surprising facts about fireplaces by Kirley Masonry

When it comes to creating ambiance and warmth in a home, nothing can beat a fireplace. But are you aware that the right fireplace or stove can also help reduce your heating costs? Or that your existing fireplaceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s efficiency can be boosted significantly by installing an insert, and for less money than you might think? Here are five facts about fireplaces and stoves that may surprise you: 1. You can conserve energy, live a greener lifestyle and combat volatile heating costs with a high efficiency fireplace or stove. Do you use every room in your house every day? If not, try zone heating the areas where you spend the most time with an efficient fireplace or stove. It will cut down on the amount of fuel consumed by your furnace and can reduce home heating bills by 20-40 percent, according to the Hearth, Patio and Barbecue Association. Simply turn down the central thermostat and let the fireplace heat where you live. This works whether your fireplace is fueled by natural gas, liquid propane, wood, pellets or other materials. Renewable fuels like cord wood, pellets and other plant-derived materials are excellent sources of heat. The key is burning them in a high efficiency fireplace or stove, which makes the process much easier than it was for our grandparents. In pellet stoves a single 40-pound bag of pellets can produce heat for up to 24 hours. The amount of emissions and ash generated by these units has been dramatically reduced. 64

NEHomeLife.com | February 2013

2. A fireplace can be installed in your existing home without the hassles of adding a traditional chimney. Don’t have a fireplace? In most homes, a beautiful and efficient free-standing pellet stove can be vented to the outdoors via a single pipe that runs through the side of the house to the outdoors. Free-standing pellet stoves have brought warmth and ambience to millions of homes. 3. Your inefficient wood burning fireplace can be transformed into a powerful and beautiful heat producer. If you have a masonry-built wood burning fireplace that is drafty and inefficient, consider updating it with an energy efficient fireplace insert. Professional installation can be completed within four to six hours, and it could make your fireplace up to 85 percent more efficient. 4. You can control the heat produced by today’s fireplaces. Many fireplaces and stoves can be thermostatically controlled – you decide how much heat you want and change it as desired. 5. Fireplace design is pushing traditional boundaries. If you prefer a traditional fireplace that burns real wood, stove inserts are a great option with simplistic beauty and elegance. Glass windows showcase a view of the flames. There’s nothing better than cozying up to a warm fireplace. Investigate the possibilities at KirleyMasonry.com.

Construction Financing

Construction Financing Construction and REHAB loan financing has always been a great way to either build the home of your dreams or upgrade an existing home to the level you as a buyer want. Construction and REHAB financing has seen a regrowth recently for a few reasons. With the number of foreclosed properties on the market these days that need work, buyers are able to get a home that might need a little TLC or a complete rehab at a low price and fix it up at a relatively low cost and have a property worth a lot more than they put into it. New construction homes as well are now priced much closer to existing homes which enables buyers to purchase a brand new home for nearly the same price as an existing property. This has never been the case before. Construction loan financing is harder to qualify for then regular financing. It also requires more patience as well, but the end product is usually 68

NEHomeLife.com | February 2013

exactly what the buyer wanted when they began their search for a home.There are a few different types of construction and rehab loan financing available which I will go into more detail.

Conventional Construction / REHAB Financing This loan requires a 10% down payment.This is the most common type of loan that is used for a new construction home. If a buyer wants to put down 10% as opposed to 20% then the qualifying guidelines are a little tighter.This is very popular with either someone looking to buy a package from a builder, (lot and home included) or buy someone who currently owns the lot. If you own the lot already you are way ahead of the game. The land would be considered the down payment and in this case most borrowers are able to avoid PMI (private mortgage insurance).

NMLS#616522

FHA 203K There are two types of 203K financing available. The first is the regular 203K loan that can be used to significantly upgrade an existing home.The down side to this is that for this 203k loan you will need to have an FHA inspector involved in the process which adds to the cost as well as to the time frame for completion. FHA also offers the 203K streamline loan which allows up to $35,000 to be used to repair the home. With the streamline loan nothing structural can be included in the work. You do not need the FHA inspector for this loan. Both of the 203K loans require a 3.5% down payment. The streamline option of this loan is very popular with some of the foreclosed properties that need a little TLC to make them habitable.

Mass Housing REHAB Loan A very popular loan for first time buyers. This requires a 3% down payment for single family homes a 5% down payment for 2-4 families. A nice feature of this loan is you only need a minimum of $7500 in work. This is a loan that has become more prevalent in today’s market. As with all Mass Housing loans, qualifying is harder and there are income limits. Most banks do not offer all of these types of financing but here at First Eastern we offer all of these loans as well as some others. It is very important to work with a bank that can give you all of the options. Please feel free to call me with any questions you may have.

South Florida is on the Move By NEHL Staff

As the market continued to move in a positive direction in 2012 all indicators in South Florida are saying there has never been a better time to buy here. While prices are now showing steady increases the market is still ripe for acquiring property at 50% of 2006 market high prices. We doubt that there is a better deal anywhere in the United States in 2013 for real estate in a very sought after region. The south west coast of Florida offers a quality of life and amenities unmatched by any other location in the country. With such a large percentage of northeast populations reaching retirement age in the next 5 years the investment in South Florida real estate becomes even stronger. Single-family homes in much of the region have tremendous value in the $200-$350,000. range and condominiums at some of the best quality developments are available starting at just over $100,000. Market timing is everything in real estate today 82

NEHomeLife.com | February 2013

and if you wish to own in a warm and tropical location then south Florida and Collier County may be the best and most opportune location on the globe. Barron’s recently ran a piece in there investment magazine telling its readers, it’s a great time to buy in Florida. As reported By Barron’s Magazine Mike Morgan: “At the moment, Florida offers an unusual window of opportunity for individual buyers and investors. Interest rates are low, prices are down by 50% or more, and sellers are anxious. The picture is a bit clouded by the South Americans and Europeans, who fear currency collapses in their homelands and are buying without regard for quality, maintenance costs or resale value. Russians flush with cash are purchasing indiscriminately in South Florida. Canadians, flush with the very strong Canadian dollar, are also buying, but they are far more discerning. “
