East Bay Living Part II 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. November 2013 | 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.

How to Choose a Mortgage Banker By Marc Walz With Labor Day behind us, it may be time to do a Financial Fall Clean-Up Reviewing your home financing goals is as important to your home investment as maintaining your property.

How does your home fit into your overall financial plan and your long-term financial strategy? Some things to consider: • How long have you lived in your home? • How long do you plan to stay in your home? • Are you close to retirement? • Is your home your largest (or only) asset? • Is there a major "life event" (child, college, marriage) in your near future? • Are you in a flood zone and aware of how an increase in flood insurance would affect you’re mortgage payment via the escrow change?

Here is what we can offer:

• Analysis of your credit report and strategies for improvement. • Programs with little or no-money down. • Cash-out refinance, useful for debt consolidation, education, or home improvement. • Rate/Term refinance to drop PMI with rising property values. • State of the art pricing on fixed and adjustable rates. Right now the spread between fixed & ARM’s are at historic levels. • Complimentary pre qualifaction for new home purchases

RMS is a direct mortgage lender. Our singular focus is working directly with local homeowners to provide funding for their residential home purchases and refinances. We offer convenient, direct access to a full spectrum of integrated loan processing, underwriting and direct lending services - all under one roof. Something most over-diversified retail banks and credit unions simply can’t provide. The result is a fast turnaround on decisions and a more satisfying overall experience for you.

West Bristol County Massachusetts Towns of Rehoboth, Swansea, 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

Common Repairs to Consider when Buying a Home. by Peter DeFusco

Buying a home can be expensive before even walking through the front door - closing costs, insurance, moving expenses and real estate agent fees must be paid before the first mortgage bill arrives. But every home has its problems, and repairs can send new homebuyers looking for more money, along with their tool belts or a contractor to fix them. Home systems or components, such as roofs and appliances, can be marked in a home inspection as "nearing or exceeding serviceable life," meaning the item isn't likely to fail immediately but is statistically nearing the end time.

Most components have an expected lifespan of 17 to 30 years, Sisson says, with installation, maintenance, how it's used and the quality of the component among the factors affecting how long it will last. A high-quality item that's used constantly and not maintained may die sooner than a cheaper item that's well maintained and used infrequently, for example. 72

NEHomeLife.com | November 2013

Common repairs Here are some of the most common home repairs to expect, with the life expectancy of the item: Roof: A standard grade roof has average life of 20 years, and a better grade roof has an expected useful life of 30 years or more.Things that can cause a roof to wear out faster include having a shallow angle, being under trees that shed lots of leaves, and the north sides of roofs wear out faster than the south sides. Electric water heater: 10 years. A gas water heater should last longer - 15 to 30 years - but one of the main problems is that unlike most things in a home, regular maintenance won't extend its life, says John Wilder, a contractor for 10 years. Draining it once a year will help, but there isn't much else to do. "There's not really a whole lot of maintenance you can do on an electric water heater, for example," Wilder says. Refrigerator: 15-20 years. Ice-makers can be a problem if the fill tubes freeze up, Wilder says, and dust under the condenser can make a refrigerator run hotter. Washer/dryer: 10-15 years. A gas dryer is more efficient and "they don't really break down," Wilder says.The heating element in an electric dryer can break down often, he says. To extend the life of a clothes washer, he recommends using liquid detergent because dry often clogs up a washer. Garbage disposal: 10 years. They're powerful, but not meant for potato peelings. Bones will also seize them up, says Wilder, who recommends putting lemon rinds down one occasionally to degrease and deodorize it. Air conditioner. 15-20 years for an HVAC unit. A wall unit should last about 10 years. Leaky air ducts can waste up to 30% of the electric bill for an air conditioner, Wilder says. If the ducts are installed with duct tape, the adhesive lets go over time, and should instead be sealed with mastic. Furnace: 17 years if clean, while one that isn't maintained may need major repairs in less than

NMLS#616522

“Over 25 Years Of Bringing New England Home” 10 years, says Sisson, the home inspector. A manufacturer's label and date codes can tell how old a furnace or other item is, she says, but they can be misleading. "It's not unheard of for an older furnace to have a new label on it," Sisson says.

How to check a lifespan Major fixtures such as a heat pump and air conditioner should have an Energy Star label with the date of manufacture. Smaller appliances can be dated by the serial number or a bar code, which can be looked up with a smartphone bar code scanner. Home inspectors can also use an item's serial number to track manufacturer recalls. Checking city permits is another way to determine how old something is, since replacing a gas-fired furnace usually requires a permit. Such records can be difficult to decipher, for example, or a permit may not have been filed. If the property is newer, the builder may have records and warranties. People buying a condo or who live in a homeowners' association can ask for a reserve study, which details how expected repairs and maintenance are being saved for. Protecting your home Getting homeowner's insurance is the first step to protect your home from major disasters that can destroy a roof or flood a basement. Repair costs can range from $50 for a small item to tens of thousands of dollars for new plumbing or electrical. If manufacturers' warranties are about to expire on certain appliances, a home warranty can be a good investment.

Smart Living Through Organization and Automation Welcome to the Possibilities

The newest trend in living today is maximizing space through organization and smart home design. Quite simply space has become expensive and organizing what you have just makes sense, the age of clutter is over. The National Association of Home Builders Survey shows that most homebuyers today are looking for smaller residences, in part because of the aging population and in part because of economic savings. A home, which has a smaller size, costs less to maintain and keep comfortable, and usually the taxes owed on the property are also less than a larger model would be. As more people take steps to cut costs and eliminate unnecessary expenses the switch to homes with less square footage has become extremely popular. In today’s marketplace smart homes that have closet systems, storage systems and entertainment and technology systems sell faster and bring higher prices to the seller.

With space at a premium companies like Custom Closet Geeks have seen a boom in their business in the last few decades. They provide not only complete closet systems but also full home organizational systems for every room in your home.

Siding Your New England Home

H pr om ov e em en t

By RIRemodel.com

Nothing says “New England” quite like a naturally shingled home. Many homeowners shy away from having shingles on the exterior of their homes however, as it requires a lot of upkeep, and can be expensive through the years for maintenance and repairs. But does this mean that Rhode Islanders have to sacrifice the look and feel of a New England staple, or the style of that beloved beach residence on their own homes? Not at all! At Rhode Island Remodeling we use Mastic Siding- a top quality siding product, and we love the line of Mastic Cedar Discovery shingles. With a few different styles of cedar replica shingles you will be amazed that these shingles aren’t actually wood. With options that imitate the look of split shingles, or a more polished shingle, homeowners no longer have to sacrifice the New England classic for vinyl siding. Finally, the best of

both worlds is attainable for homeowners. Each style features a special finish that gives close control over the coloring of the shingles, and will keep the color from fading. Mastic Siding also has a wide variety of traditional siding so you can pick exactly what you would like for the exterior of your home. At Rhode Island Remodeling, as one of RI’s top vinyl siding contractors we offer a complete exterior package when you choose us to side your home. We not only install premium vinyl siding, but also a full coverage aluminum trim work. If you’re interested in receiving an estimate to have your home sided with Rhode Island Remodeling, contact us at 401-487-3992 to schedule a free estimate.
