To find out where it makes more sense to rent or buy a home, GOBankingRates surveyed the cost of renting versus owning a home in all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

Top 10 Things To Do When Buying or Selling a Home: #1 Call Me & I’ll Do the Rest!

Mick’s Catch of the Day!

8A BLUE BILL CT OCEAN PINES

Survey shows buyers in Md. get better deal than renters Continued from page 1 the price difference is minimal. For this year's study, the company looked at the estimated rent price for all homes listed on Zillow (in last year's study, the calculation was based on the cost to rent only singlefamily homes). Also considered was the estimated monthly mortgage to own a home in each state, based on the median list price of homes listed on Zillow, a 20 percent down payment and a 30-year fixed-rate loan. How’s Maryland shape up?

Continued from page 1 53 percent. Listing prices were down by 6.6 percent and sale prices were down by 6.5 percent. “That nice bump in contract starts means our members are busy working with their clients to start the buying process. “Those deals should wrap up over the next few months,” said CAR President Don Bailey. “We’re seeing inventory scale back a bit as more and more listings move

off the market. Although sale prices were down slightly, it’s still a good time to put your house on the market because people are definitely looking to buy right now.” CAR’s monthly local housing statistics are pulled from the association’s multiple listing service, which represents the activity of over 1,000 local Realtors in Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties.

• Monthly rent in Maryland: $1,753 • Monthly mortgage in Maryland: $1,404 • Should you rent or buy: Buy Rents in this state have shot up among one- and two-bedroom apartments. Statewide, it costs $349 more per month to rent in Maryland than to pay the monthly mortgage on a home with a median list price of $299,900. With these figures in mind, you would save nearly $4,200 annually if you own a home rather than rent one.

AUGUST 2017

MONTHLY UPDATE Sellers see biggest gain over price since 2007

ATTOM Data Solutions, curator of the nation's largest multi-sourced property database, has released its Q2 2017 U.S. Home Sales Report, which shows that homeowners who sold in the second quarter realized an average price gain of $51,000 since purchase — the highest average price gain since Q2 2007. The average home seller price gain of $51,000 in Q2 2017 represented an average return of 26 percent on the previous purchase price of the home, the highest average home seller return since Q3 2007. The report also shows that homeowners who sold in the second quarter had owned an average of 8.05 years, up from 7.85 years in the previous quarter and up from 7.59 years in Q2 2016 to the longest average homeownership tenure as far back as data is available, Q1 2000. "Potential home sellers in today's market are caught in a Catch-22. While it's the most profitable time to sell in a decade, it's also extremely difficult to find another home to purchase, which is helping to keep homeowners in their homes longer before selling," said Daren Blomquist, senior vice president at ATTOM Data Solutions. Cash sales share increases

annually for first time since Q1 2013 All-cash sales represented 28.9 percent of all single family and condo sales in Q2 2017, down from 31.3 percent of all sales in the first quarter, but up from 27.3 percent of all sales in Q2 2016 — the first annual increase in the share of cash sales since Q1 2013. Institutional investor sales share down nationwide, up in 26 percent of local markets The share of U.S. single-family home and condo sales sold to institutional investors (entities buying at least 10 properties in a calendar year) was 2.1 percent in the second quarter, up from 1.8 percent in the first quarter but down from 2.6 percent a year ago. Counter to the national trend, 19 of the 73 metro areas (26 percent) posted year-over-year increases in the share of institutional investor purchases, including Memphis, Charlotte, Nashville, Baltimore, and Raleigh. Highest average home seller returns in Northern California, Seattle and Denver Among 118 metropolitan statistical areas with at least 1,000 home sales in Q2 2017 with previous sale information available, those with the highest average home seller returns were San Jose, California (75 per-

cent); San Francisco, California (65 percent); Seattle, Washington (63 percent); Modesto, California (62 percent); and Denver, Colorado (62 percent). "An ongoing issue in the greater Seattle area is a lack of supply which is aggressively driving up home prices," said Matthew Gardner, chief economist at Windermere Real Estate, covering the Seattle market. "The only short-term solution is to build more homes, but thanks to land constraints and construction costs, this simply is not happening at a rate that you would normally expect in a market like this." Average homeownership tenure down in Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, D.C. and Detroit Counter to the national trend, the average homeownership tenure in Q2 2017 decreased from a year ago in 25 of 89 metro areas analyzed in the report (28 percent), including Chicago, Dallas, Philadelphia, Washington, D.C., and Detroit. "Across Southern California we are witnessing concerns over housing affordability keeping homeowners in current homes for longer tenure, and keeping available home inventories low in supply," said Michael Mahon, president at First Team Real Estate covering the Southern California market, where the average homeownership tenure reached a new all-

time high of 9.55 years in Q2 2017. Distressed sale share drops to lowest level since Q3 2007 Total distressed sales — bankowned (REO) sales, third-party foreclosure auction sales, and short sales — accounted for 13.4 percent of all single family and condo sales in Q2 2017, down from 17.1 percent in the first quarter and down from 15.2 percent in Q2 2016 to the lowest level since Q3 2007.

Pre-sale staging pays off, survey of agents reveals Sixty-two percent of sellers' agents say that staging a home decreases the amount of time a home spends on the market, according to the National Association of Realtors 2017 Profile of Home Staging, www.nar.realtor/reports/profile-ofhome-staging. According to the report, which is in its second iteration, nearly twothirds of sellers' agents said that staging a home decreases the amount of time the home spends on the market, with 39 percent saying that it greatly decreases the time and 23 percent saying it slightly decreases the time. Sixteen percent of sellers' agents believe that staging either greatly or slightly increases a home's time on Continued on page 18

We decided just this year that we might be interested in buying a Condo ffo or the first time. We were new at doing all this. We looked on Zillow and found a few places we were interested in and contacted TTeerri Moran. We met with TTeerri, she helped us through everything and we ffo ound our dream home. I cannot say enough good things about all the help and support we got. She was right on top of everything, all our needs and questions. We not only had the best help, we now have a friend ffo or liffee. Not to mention she is a hard workerr,, very knowledgeable, and has done this job with love ffo or a long time. She cares about everyone. R. & S. KKeendall TTeerri helped me find the perfect condo for our family. TTeerri responded quickly and set up appointments on the day that I could travel to see properties. She gave me good inffo ormation about the value of different properties and set up settlement. TTeerri even helped me find contractors to work on our property. I have been involved in buying and selling on at least 7 occasions and TTeerri Moran was the best agent I have worked with yet. KK.. Donnelllyy TTeerri actually sold us this townhouse 17 years ago and we felt confident using her once again. She knows the area well and sold our townhouse in 14 days for the asking price. She was very thorough and professional. I would definitely recommend her. M&BC Coook

MONTHLY UPDATE Agents agree on benefit of pre-sales staging Continued from page 10

the market, while 8 percent believe that it has no impact. Seventy-seven percent of buyers' agents said that staging a home makes it easier for buyers to visualize the property as their future home, and 40 percent are more willing to walk through a staged home they first saw online. However, 38 percent of buyers' agents said that staging positively affects a home's value if the home is decorated to the buyer's taste, meaning that a home's staging should be designed to appeal to the largest number of potential buyers. Forty-nine percent of buyers' agents said that staging has an effect on most buyers. Another 48 percent stated that staging has an effect on some buyers' opinion of a home, but not always, and only 4 percent said that it has no impact on buyers. Realtors representing both buyers and sellers agreed that the living room is the most important room in a home to stage, followed by the master bedroom, the kitchen, and then the yard or outdoor space. The guest bedroom is considered the least important room to stage. The highest share of buyers' agents, 31 percent, reported that staging a home increases its dollar

value by 1 to 5 percent. Thirteen percent said that staging increases the dollar value 6 to 10 percent, while 25 percent stated it has no impact on dollar value. Only 1 percent of buyers' agents felt that staging has a negative impact on a home's dollar value. Sellers' agents report even more value is added from staging: 29 percent reported an increase of one to five percent in dollar value offered by buyers, 21 percent reporting an increase of 8 to 10 percent, and 5 percent reported an increase of 11 to 15 percent. No sellers' agents reported a negative impact. When deciding which homes to stage, 38 percent of sellers' agents said that they stage all of their sellers' homes before listing them, 14 percent will stage only homes that are difficult to sell, and 7 percent stage only homes in higher price brackets. Thirty-seven percent of sellers' agents said they do not stage homes before listing them, but they recommend sellers declutter their homes and fix any faults with the property. When it comes to paying for home staging, 25 percent of the time the seller pays before listing the home. Twenty-one percent of sellers' agents will personally provide funds to stage the home, while 14 percent of agents will offer home staging services to sellers. Beyond staging, agents also

named the most common home improvement projects they recommend to sellers: Ninety-three percent recommend decluttering the home, 89 percent recommend an entire home cleaning, and 81 percent recommend carpet cleaning. Other pre-sale projects include depersonalizing the home, removing pets during showings and making minor repairs. In March 2017, NAR invited a random sample of 53,760 active Realtor members to fill out an online survey. A total of 1,894 useable responses were received for an overall response rate of 3.5 percent. At the 95 percent confidence level the margin of error is plus-or-minus 2.25 percent.

Low inventory leads to fewer existing home sales Existing-home sales slipped in June as low supply kept homes selling at a near record pace but ultimately ended up muting overall activity, according to the National Association of Realtors. Only the Midwest saw an increase in sales last month. Total existing-home sales, which are completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, decreased 1.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.52 million

READY FOR YOU TO MOVE IN

in June from 5.62 million in May. Despite last month's decline, June's sales pace is 0.7 percent above a year ago, but is the second lowest of 2017 (February, 5.47 million). Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, says the previous three-month lull in contract activity translated to a pullback in existing sales in June. "Closings were down in most of the country last month because interested buyers are being tripped up by supply that remains stuck at a meager level and price growth that's straining their budget," he said. "The demand for buying a home is as strong as it has been since before the Great Recession. Listings in the affordable price range continue to be scooped up rapidly, but the severe housing shortages inflicting many markets are keeping a large segment of would-be buyers on the sidelines." Added Yun, "The good news is that sales are still running slightly above last year's pace despite these persistent market challenges." The median existing-home price for all housing types in June was $263,800, up 6.5 percent from June 2016 ($247,600). Last month's median sales price surpasses May as the new peak and is the 64th straight month of year-over-year gains. Total housing inventory at the end of June declined 0.5 percent to 1.96 Continued on page 23

MONTHLY UPDATE First time buyers make up 32 percent of June sales Continued from page 18

million existing homes available for sale, and is now 7.1 percent lower than a year ago (2.11 million) and has fallen year-over-year for 25 consecutive months. Unsold inventory is at a 4.3-month supply at the current sales pace, which is down from 4.6 months a year ago. First-time buyers were 32 percent of sales in June, which is down from 33 percent both in May and a year ago. NAR's 2016 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers – released in late 2016 – revealed that the annual share of first-time buyers was 35 percent. "It's shaping up to be another year of below average sales to first-time buyers despite a healthy economy that continues to create jobs," said Yun. "Worsening supply and affordability conditions in many markets have unfortunately put a temporary hold on many aspiring buyers' dreams of owning a home this year." According to Freddie Mac, the average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage declined for the third consecutive month, dipping to 3.90 percent in June from 4.01 percent in May.

Flood insurance reform brings major improvement The National Association of Realtors report that significant improvements to the “21st Century Flood Reform Act,” key legislation aimed at strengthening and reauthorizing the National Flood Insurance Program, have cleared the way for endorsement of the bill. Among the changes, Realtors support the House Financial Services Committee’s commitment to retaining “grandfathering” – a policy that protects homeowners from significant rate increases when a flood map changes. The most recent draft will also limit proposed increases to fees and rate hikes that policyholders faced under previous iterations of the legislation. Earlier versions of the legislation included more dramatic cost increases for homeowners and eliminated grandfathering protections beginning in 2021. NAR President William E. Brown, a second-generation Realtor from Alamo, California and founder of Investment Properties, thanked the committee for working with Realtors to strengthen the bill and announced NAR’s support for it: “House Financial Services Committee Chairman Jeb Hensarling (R-

Looking for a eck Ch new home? out the

Texas), as well as Subcommittee on Housing and Insurance Chairman Sean Duffy (R-Wis.), deserve high praise for working with Realtors to improve this legislation. The changes to the 21stCentury Flood Reform Act will help give certainty to homeowners who have brought their property to code and have done their part to protect it against flood risk. It’s a fair and reasonable approach that recognizes the need for accessible, affordable flood insurance, while taking us one step closer towards reauthorization. “This legislation protects taxpayers, as well as homeowners, which is no easy task. The Sept. 30 reauthorization deadline still looms in front of us, and Realtors are eager to see this legislation progress quickly.

GLEN RIDDLE - HOMESITE #234

Median home values now exceed $200K level The typical U.S. home is worth over $200,000 for the first time ever, according to the June Zillow Real Estate Market Reports. The national median home value is now $200,400, up about 7 and a half percent since this time last year. High buyer demand coupled with fewer homes for sale is driving up home values across the country — there are 11 percent fewer homes on the market than a year ago, the greatest drop in inventory since July 2013. National home values have been rising at over 7 percent annually for the past five months, with many markets consistently rising in the doubledigits. During the height of the housing bubble over a decade ago, the median U.S. home value peaked at $196,600 but never surpassed the $200,000 threshold until now. Median rent across the nation has been holding steady at about a 1 percent annual gain for the past six months -- the median rent across the country is now $1,422 per month, up just over 1 percent annually. Median rent is falling in 12 of the 35 largest U.S. metros, falling the most in Pittsburgh (down 4 percent) and Houston (down 3 percent). Miami, San Jose and San Francisco are also among the metros where rent is cheaper this year than last. Meanwhile, Mortgage rates were at or near their monthly lows of 3.67 percent for most of the month.
