East Bay Living By NEGM Staff

he East Bay region of Rhode Island, located on the eastern side of Narragansett Bay, is steeped in British and Colonial heritage. Living in the East Bay offers residence a great quality of life with more amenities than just about anywhere in the state. The 14-mile East Bay Bike Path runs through all four communities and offers an unparalleled view of Narragansett Bay and hugs the shores line from Bristol in the south and north to India Point Park in Providence.

Bristol RI Historic Home C21 Rondeau Assoc. 401-254-1900

The trail takes you through an alternating landscape of stunning natural areas, as well as more urban enclaves. Spur trails lead to several parks and conservation areas, including Colt State Park in Bristol, Burr's Hill Park in Warren and Veterans Memorial Park and Haines Memorial State Park in Barrington.

The laid-back charm of the East Bay is apparent from its antiques shops, historic inns, secluded marinas, main streets and village squares that are as authentic as the patriotic spirit that surrounds America 's oldest Fourth of July parade, held in the Town of Bristol since 1785. The region is rich in historic sites and museums and parks and offers many choices in homes in almost every price point. January 2014 | NEHomeLife.com

Life by the bay is truly special to those who have roots in the region, there is no place like the East Bay. Moving to this region is very much like moving to an island of history, culture and charm. There is so much to discover and so much to do and it's all by the bay where coastal living is at its best. The region has both historic home choices and many well planned new home neighborhoods and developments. Whether you choose town residences in the region or the outskirts you will always be just a short distance to all the attractions the East Bay has to offer.

Tiverton RI

Along the east passage of the Sakonnet River disconnected from state borders, the towns of Tiverton and Little Compton are havens for beauty and serenity and offer a very special way of life for both year- round and seasonal residents. These seaside communities are home to farms, wineries, spectacular seaside homes and waterfront seasonal cottages along the shore. Traveling south from central Tivertonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful waterfront through Nanaquaket and the historic 4 Corners region of town gives you a taste of life along the bay. It is a great place to live and offers public access to the water with marinas for boaters and close proximity to some of New Englandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s finest beaches.

best. This small community is home to magnificent oceanfront homes and is dotted with historic farmland and vineyards looking out over the Sakonnet Passage of Narragansett Bay. As it was 100 years ago, it still is today and most folks here love it that way. If you are fortunate enough to spend a summer day on the exclusive links at Sakonnet Golf Club, Donald Ross who summered here and designed, the facility will treat you to one of golf’s true masterpieces.

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 | January 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.

Horton Estates - Rehoboth, 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

Oakridge - Westport, 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 January 2014 | NEHomeLife.com 23 July 2012 | NEHomeLife.com

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 offor 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.

West Bristol County Massachusetts Towns of Attleboro's / Rehoboth/ Swansea/ Seekonk / Dighton by NEGM Staff

he western most communities of Bristol County, MA offer some 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 who work both in Providence and the Boston metro area as well. With their prime location and small town charm is no surprise that they are seeing steady growth and high demand with buyers.

day is simple, they are well managed rural communities that have followed a common sense plan on growth and development. Each has protected open space and continually assessed and planned for the future for their community. Rehoboth is almost 50 square miles of land area and Swansea and Dighton are about 25 square miles. Density is a very important statistic when it comes to small towns, it represents

New Rehoboth Restaurant

La Collina at Hillside Country Club By Michaella Jaye

If you’re looking for a hidden jewel in the Rehoboth area, look no further than Hillside Country Club. Their brand new Italian restaurant, La Collina, is the perfect spot for dinner with the family or date night with the hubby. Avoid all the chain restaurants on Routes 1, 6 & 44 and take the short drive to the quiet residential road of Hillside Avenue. Its central location is convenient for anyone in the Seekonk, Rehoboth, Dighton and Attleboro vicinity. Since going to La Collina only a few days after they opened, I am already looking forward to my next visit. Under new ownership, the building has gone through a complete transformation. The atmosphere is upscale but comfortable throughout the dining room and lounge. I think it was a nice touch to have it decorated for the holidays without going overboard. Johnson & Wales Culinary graduate, Derek Morse, is serving up quite an impressive menu to top it all off. I can honestly say that I finished 3 whole courses without any leftovers. That never happens! We started off with the Roasted Corn Vegetable Soup and Mixed Bruschetta. I love bruschetta and it’s something I often make while entertaining at home, but I have never had it served three ways before. The large crostini’s were served alongside the classic tomato/garlic pairing as well as marinated 72

NEHomeLife.com | January 2014

diced mushrooms and roasted beets. Next I had the Gorgonzola filet while my fiancé ordered the Baked Stuffed Haddock LaCollina. The steak was perfectly cooked and literally melted in my mouth. And the Haddock was generously stuffed with whole shrimp and scallops. No matter what side dish your entrée comes with, make a request to pair it with their cheese risotto. It might be the best I have ever had. If you can even believe it, we finished off the meal with a slice of Ricotta Cheesecake. It had a layer of lemon curd, fresh raspberries and the hazelnut/ cookie crust was amazing. We were lucky enough to also be invited to their grand opening the following week. This gave us the opportunity to see the place in action. There was live music and a tasting menu served hors d'oeuvre style by a polished yet friendly wait staff. I couldn’t take my eyes off the stunning chandeliers hung throughout the ballroom. It would definitely be a place to consider for a wedding or formal event. I was told that Chef Derek is always dreaming up new menu items and you can expect to be satisfied with every visit. Take a look at the La Collina menus visit www.hillsidecountryclub.com.

Getting pre-approved is the best way to know where you stand. Also if you have some issues with your credit it will give you the time you need to fix it. Your Debt to Income Ratio: Though your credit score is still the main thing to look at with regards to getting approved for a loan close behind is your debt to income ratio. The ratio is determined by your outstanding liabilities, including the new proposed housing payment, and all the debt reporting on your credit report as well as any alimony or child support payments. The guidelines have gotten tougher in recent years with regards to how high a Debt ratio a borrower may have.

Your Down payment: This is a big factor for a lot of people when they are ready to buy a home. While it is a myth that you need to have 20% as a down payment, the amount of money you do have available will dictate what type of loan you are eligible for. VA and USDA loans do not require a down payment. FHA loans require a 3.5% down payment. Conventional Loans require a 5% down payment. It is always a good idea to have saved some money for a down payment. These are the main three things that each and every borrower needs to be aware of BEFORE you go house hunting. Having addressed these items will make the home buying process a lot smoother and put you in a better position to buy the home you really want.
