Real Estate Market Expected to Continue its Climb in 2014 By Timothy Branco

All indicators are pointing toward another upswing year in 2014 for real estate in the New England region. After what was considered one of the best years in the last decade 2013 set strong numbers for singlefamily units, condominiums and new home construction. In a Report by RE/MAX of New England in January things seem to be off to a fast start in the New Year. “Low interest rates and rising consumer confidence are cited in the report for propelling the New England housing market into a solid recovery throughout 2013. An ebbing supply of inventory coupled with low interest rates and pent-up demand fueled the market and

drove up pricing throughout the region”. “The significant improvement in median price we saw in most market segments across the region is the result of reduced inventory,” said Dan Breault, executive vice president and regional director of RE/MAX of New England. “While interest rates did rise upwards of one point over the summer of 2013, it did not dissuade buyers from moving forward. In fact, it appeared to have the opposite effect of creating competition and driving prices up in key markets.” Strong home sales during 2013, especially in the second half of the year, bode well for the 2014 housing market.

“The traditionally slower fall and winter months showed very strong activity in key markets across the region,” Breault said. “This is an excellent bellwether of how we can expect the first quarter of 2014 to shape up.” February 2014 | NEHomeLife.com

The average median sales price of a single-family home in Massachusetts increased 8.8% from $287,841 to $313,109 in 2013. Home transactions in all three categories all surged ahead. Single-family home sales increased 8.8% and condominium transactions increased 11.9% yearover-year, while multi-family home sales grew 4.2%. 2013 Closed Out with Year-over-Year Growth across New England as Rising Consumer Confidence and Low Interest Rates Fueled the Market What is driving the market right now is supply. There are more buyers out there looking for homes, which is creating a sellerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market and pushing home prices in our region. The shortage of homes for sale is also having a profound effect on our regional building industry as new home construction has surged in the last 12 months at one of the fastest rates in 10 years. All indicators point toward even stronger trends

in construction of single family homes in 2014. Many builders are bucking the big house trends of the last 2 decades and opting for smaller more energy efficient designs that incorporate more technology and features for the buyers. There are huge gaps to be filled in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home market and consumer trends are driving builders to offer greater value, more diverse designs, more amenities and energy smart construction. Baby Boomers reaching retirement age are creating a new market for housing that

Boomers represent over 65% of the wealth in the U.S. and are the largest sector that drive consumer spending in the economy today. Their impact on market trends is a driving force in housing market changes. will spur a new building surge over the next decade for diverse communities that will be much different than todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s traditional 55 and older developments. Age restricted communities may soon be a thing of the past as a much healthier and active seniors are preferring not to be sectored but rather part of the mainstream of tra-

increase inventories. 2014 predictions for both interest rates and the economy are optimistic. The Southern New England region will benefit strongly with medium priced housing shortages in the greater Boston metro markets driving buyers south as well.

ditional living. They are also focused on quality, amenities and active lifestyles with minimal maintenance homes. Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s real estate market will continue to be fueled by demand, inventory and record low interest rates. With continued shortages of quality listings market prices will continue to rise. We are in a sense in what could be called â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Perfect Stormâ&#x20AC;? in real estate market heading into 2014. There are a lot of people sitting on the sidelines who have been waiting for prices to recover to sell their homes. That combined with a huge Baby Boomer population that are motivated to sell and downsize to either condos and or flex designed communities should

What may turn out to be another major market driver is the younger population that has been slow to transition into the first time buyers market, are now getting in the game.

2014 Forecast: The Emerging Purchase Market By Marc Walz "With the close of 2013 will also come a major transition in the housing finance industry. For the first time since 2000, we're going to see the mortgage market dominated by purchase activity as the refinance share drops below 50 percent. And with mortgage rates rising, we're also going to see the home-sales gains as well as the impressive house price growth begin to moderate to more sustainable levels,” said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac vice president and chief economist. Hearing that interest rates are on the rise can be daunting news, but don’t let that make you give up on your homeownership dreams! Despite the rate increases, they are still at historical lows and affordable homes can be found on the market. Whether you’re thinking of making the move from your starter house to a home your family can grow in, or looking to downsize to a more manageable property, the first step is the same: find out how much house you can afford!

Know Your Buying Power: Get Pre-qualified! Getting pre-qualified for a mortgage allows you to know exactly how much you can afford and confidently offer. You will have the chance to discuss the financial options available with your loan officer and be able to shop for a home with confidence. As a pre-qualified borrower you will be considered a more serious homebuyer, as opposed to one who is “just looking”. You may also have greater negotiating power as you begin the shopping and bidding process.

Find a lender who…

• Has a good reputation. Referrals from people you trust are often the best way to protect yourself from predatory lenders. Conversely, when you find a trustworthy lender, protect your friends and family by referring them to the lender as well. • You are comfortable working with. Personality is especially important when you run into those unforeseen problems! • Is professional and knowledgeable about your options. Is educated, Bonded and licensed. • Is patient and understanding, and takes the time to listen to your needs and concerns, and takes the time to explain everything to you clearly. • Provides guidance and reassurance when necessary. • Is Transparent, Answers all of your questions in a direct and straightforward manner. • Is accessible and has a team you can also rely on. • Gives you the personal attention and respect you deserve.

55 and older Communities

The 55 and Older Housing Boom by NEGM Staff

Homebuyers and renters older than age 55 represent a fast-growing segment of the housing market, particularly those buying single-family homes and condos. According to the National Association of Home Builders the 55+ Housing Market Index is the fastest growing sector in the U.S. In New England 55 and older communities are growing rapidly in almost every price point. Builders and developers are reacting to these trends and throughout the region with many more choices and styles than ever before.

The Pine Hills - Plymouth,MA

Moving North Not long ago, active adults were expected to head south the moment they reached retirement. Today it’s common to find half-back or full-back retirees who tried the Southern lifestyle and decided to head back north. A growing number of retirees are skipping the relocation entirely and opting to age in place, which is why more active adult communities are cropping up in Northern climates.

More Focus on Maintenance-Free Living Many of today’s active adults don’t want to spend their retirement years mowing the lawn or painting the shutters. Communities that offer low-maintenance, or maintenance-free homes are likely to 22 22

NEHomeLife.com | February 2014 NEHomeLife.com | July 2012

be more popular than ever. That usually raises the price of HOA fees, but it frees up time for homebuyers to enjoy their retirement years.

Boomers are Consumer Kings Today’s seniors are younger than ever and are driving a new initiative in 55 and older housing. Baby Boomers now reaching retirement represent the most healthy and active retirement demographic in history. They represent nearly 30% of the U.S. population and control 70% of all the wealth in the country. They vacation more, spend more and contribute more to the nations economy than all other sectors combined. And they are driving the housing market to deliver more choices and better planned communities with more amenities.

55+ Meets Social Media

Living Green

Todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 55 and older crowd are tech savvy and on a mission to make life simpler and more manageable. The 55+ demographic have discovered Facebook and is quickly adapting to the world of social networking. Expect more Baby Boomers and retirees to begin using social networking sites to stay in touch with friends and family, meet new people and keep current on both world events and pop culture. Facebookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest growth sector in 2013 was 55 and older women. What has been missing in social media has been the connection to the more affluent demographic.

Green living is popular with active adults, especially when energy efficient systems and appliances lower the monthly utility bills. Popular home features include solar panels, extra insulation, water saving features and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems.

LeBaron Hill - Lakeville, MA

Smaller, More Urban Communities Savvy homebuyers are turning toward smaller, budget-friendly homes. These thoughtfully designed residences are easier to maintain and cheaper to furnish. A lower home price also lets retirees stretch their savings or spend their money on other pursuits like travel or hobbies.

Mattapoisett Landing - Mattapoisett, MA

Bigger/Better Fitness Centers Staying fit and healthy is an important goal for active adults, and that means having access to a fully-equipped fitness center. Active adult communities are building spacious fitness facilities where residents

Horton Estates - Dighton MA

can expect more choices for staying in shape, like state-of-the-art equipment, indoor walking tracks and swimming pools, and a wide range of exercise classes.

Technology Focused Searches Before the days of easy Internet access, retirees were largely limited to brochures, word of mouth and Weekend Getaways to learn about out-of-state communities. Today, they can thoroughly research a community from the comfort of their own home. Beginning in 2014 at nehomelife. com retirees can view photos, floor plans and reviews for nearly 500 communities in 19 states. This advanced technology will make it easier for retirees to make an informed decision and choose an ideal community for their own personal needs. New England Homelife will continue to provide monthly complete coverage of new and existing 55 and older communities throughout the region for your review in print and online at http://nehomelife.com. 23 February 2014 | NEHomeLife.com 23 July 2012 | NEHomeLife.com

West Bristol County Massachusetts Attleboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, Rehoboth, Seekonk, Swansea, Dighton | by NEGM Staff

he western most communities of Bristol County, MA offer some of the best value in the state for homeowners. These small rural towns have a quality of life and great proximity that make them popular choices for families in the Southcoast region as well as those who work both in Providence and the Boston markets. With their prime location and small town charm itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no surprise that they are seeing steady growth and high demand with buyers.

Attleboro - Envision RE Condos 508-455-0057

In Attleboro the MBTA connection to the greater Boston market has opened up new opportunities for families to live in West Bristol County towns and have easy access through public transportation to great jobs in the metro Boston area. With the huge shortages in median priced housing in greater Boston, this has given the region an economic advantage. The ride into Boston is less than 1 hour on the MBTA from Attleboro as opposed to an average drive

Rehoboth C21 David Smith 508-252-1000

time in traffic of 1.5 + hours. Riding the T is not only cheaper than driving but also allows you tasking time on route. West Bristol County communities are a short drive to the Attleboro, Mansfield and Lakeville MBTA terminals. Add the quality of life, affordable homes, open space and access to great schools, shopping, far less traffic, the metro Boston markets and you have a formula for growth that’s unmatched in the region. Density is a very important statistic when it comes to small towns, it represent the number of residents per

square mile and often is the main indicator of the economic health on any community. Each of these towns has a great rural feel, good schools, affordable taxes and plenty of open space. Quite simply in today’s real estate market, this adds up to value for residents. Property values are steady and resale in these communities has seen gains over the last 2-3 years. In the years ahead consumers will put good management at the top of their list when choosing towns to live in. Let’s face it, what good is living in the county when taxes are not affordable for residents. These western Bristol County communities will see growth moving forward and increased values as well.

Live Where You Play

Golf Course Living in New England By Tim Branco

If you love golf than nothing is better than living close to your favorite place to play. While this is easy in Florida where thousands of golf courses and golf course communities offer endless choices at almost every price point. It is a little more of a challenge here in New England where there are far less golf course communities to choose from. There is also the option of living adjacent to a golf course and in most cases finding a home abutting a private country club is always a better value in the long run. Golf Courses are great neighbors and 100 + acres of well maintained park like property abutting your home creates a wonderful environment for living and enjoying the great game of golf. Golf is a sport unlike any other that you may play well into retirement years and enjoy time on the course with family and friends. Private golf course membership has become much more affordable in the last 10 years with many facilities offering all types of flexible categories of membership at their clubs. It is never too late to take up the game and

golf offers great exercise for those that enjoy walking. The average golfer can walk up to five miles during an 18 hole round. The Bay Club in Mattapoisett offers one of the best golf course community experiences in New England with a pristine facility located just off Cape Cod in Southeastern, MA. The homes and facilities are simply magnificent and the club offers a full slate of activities besides one of the finest private golf facilities in New England. On the other end of the spectrum in Taunton, Ma Indian Ridge Condominiums are built bordering Segregansett Country Club one of the regions most historic private golf courses dating back to 1893.Indian Ridge is nestled neatly alongside the course with only 40-50 units and is a very private well developed complex. There are a number of residents who are members at the club. If you play golf, live where you play and enjoy all the benefits of golf course living in New England.

New Laws Changes for Consumer Mortgages in 2014

As many of you are aware, significant regulatory changes resulting from the DoddFrank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act went into effect, January 10, 2014. These new regulations will be managed by an entity known as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). This memorandum provides the key components of these changes most notably referred to as "The Ability To Repay" (ATR) and the "Qualified Mortgage" (QM) Rules.

Ability to Repay (ATR) Section 1026-43 (c) of Regulation Z indicates that beginning with applications dated January 10, 2014, lenders must make a reasonable and good faith determination that the borrower has the ability to repay the loan according to the terms.

ATR Standards Lenders must consider the following eight factors when determining a borrower's ability to repay their loan: 1. Income/Assets 2. Employment status 3. Monthly payments on the mortgage loan 4. Monthly payments on simultaneous loans secured by the same property 5. Monthly payments on mortgage related obligations

Loans meeting the standards of being "Qualified Mortgages" are automatically deemed to meet the "Ability to Repay" requirements. There are two (2) types of QM loans: Standard QM Requirement and Temporary QM Requirement. Requirements for Standard QMs are as follows: 1. Verification of income and assets, debt obligations, alimony, and child support in accordance with Appendix Q of Regulation Z.

7. Monthly DTI or residual income

2. The underwriter must consider payments under the maximum interest rate during the first 5 years after the first payment due date over the term.

8 Credit history

3. DTI cannot exceed 43%.

6. Current debit obligations

Underwriters will be required to show that each of these eight factors has been considered. Some of our investors will require the completion of their own specific forms to evidence that these items have been properly considered. More information will follow on documentation requirements.

Qualified Mortgages (QM)

NEHomeLife.com | February 2014

High Cost Thresholds Loans covered under the HOEPA rule undergo three tests to determine if they are high cost. The "Points and Fees Test" aligns with the "Points and Fees Test" for QMs.

NMLS#616522

The Rate Threshold is net when the APR exceeds the APOR for a comparable transaction by more than: •

6.5% for first liens transactions (reduced from 8.5%)

•

8.5% for subordinate lien transactions (reduced from 10%)

The Points and Fees Threshold is met when: Fees exceed 5% for loans of $20,000 or more or fees exceed the lesser of 8% or $1,000 for loans less than $20,000 HomeOwnership Counseling Requirement The new rule also amends RESPA to require that all applicants, regardless of whether the loan is "High-Cost" or not, be made aware of homeownership counseling resources, in their area. Borrowers that apply for a loan on or after January 10, 2014 will receive a list of homeownership counseling organizations within 3 business days. This list will be delivered by FFSB's Disclosure Unit just as the TIL and Good Faith is provided today. The list is made available the CFPB website.
