Continued from page 1 percent higher than the same time last year. The average sale price, however, was $199,294, which is 0.3 percent lower than the same time last year. “It’s encouraging to see activity pick up compared to the previous month, but our numbers still aren’t measuring up to last year’s market,” said Coastal President Bernie Flax. “Hopefully, the increased new in-
ventory will draw out some buyers. These cold winter months are generally the best time to see a structure’s resiliency,” she added. The association’s monthly local housing statistics are pulled from the Bright Multiple Listing Service, which represents the activity of more than 1,000 local Realtors in Somerset, Wicomico and Worcester counties, as well as 85,000 real estate professionals in the Mid-Atlantic.

Market shows resiliency
(GLOBE NEWSWIRE) Freddie Mac released the results of its Primary Mortgage Market Survey the first week of February, showing that the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage had fallen to a 10-month low. Sam Khater, Freddie Mac’s chief economist, says, “The U.S. economy remains on solid ground, inflation is contained and the threat of higher short-term rates is fading from view, which has allowed mortgage rates to drift down to their lowest level in 10 months. This is great news for consumers who will be looking for homes during the upcoming spring homebuying season. Mortgage rates are essentially similar to a year ago, but today’s buyers have a larger selection
of homes and more consumer bargaining power than they did the last few years.” The 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 4.41 percent with an average 0.4 point for the week ending Feb. 7, down from last week when it averaged 4.46 percent. A year ago at this time, the 30-year FRM averaged 4.32 percent. The 15-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 3.84 percent with an average 0.4 point, down from last week when it averaged 3.89 percent. A year ago at this time, the 15-year FRM averaged 3.77 percent. Freddie Mac makes home possible for millions of families and individuals by providing mortgage capital to lenders.

Average, median sale prices up throughout Md. Twenty-one of the Maryland’s 24 jurisdictions posted gains in average sale prices ranging from 0.6 to 12 percent in 2018, as compared to 2017, the Maryland Association of Realtors reported this month. The average sale price in 2018 was $336,866 compared to $325,559 in 2017. While median prices statewide rose by 4.0 percent to $293,930 for a second straight year. Within the state, only Somerset County, reported an increase in units sold for 2018. All other jurisdictions registered a decline in units sold when compared to 2017. “Overall, the 2018 residential average and median sale prices remained stable for a second year,” said Maryland Realtors President Merry Tobin. “The average and median sales price increases were driven by the brisk buyer competition in the ongoing low inventory marketplace. “The decline in units sold indicate the market is continuing to slow due to lack of inventory,” added Tobin.

FEBRUARY 2019
Higher mortage limits, taxes will affect buyers in 2019 The new year has brought changes for homeowners and homebuyers alike. Higher mortgage limits for conforming loans, thanks to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, mean homebuyers have more leeway when it comes to shopping for a house, Natalie Campisi reported this month for Bankrate.com. Meanwhile, baby boomers are gearing up for home makeovers, according to one study — and equity can be one way to foot the bill while saving big on interest. The new tax code changes are also something to note, especially for higher-income homeowners in hightax states. Here are tips that can help Higher FHA loan limits Homebuyers who want to lock in low mortgage interest rates but don’t have a big down payment saved or an excellent credit score can find help through FHA mortgages. FHA loans, which are backed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), only require a 3.5 percent down payment for borrowers with credit scores of 580 or higher. If your score is lower than 580 you would need a 10 percent down payment to qualify for an FHA mortgage. The good news for today’s FHA borrowers is that roughly 3,000 zip codes got a 7-percent hike in FHA loan limits this year. Now homebuyers can borrow up to $314,827, an increase from last year’s $294,515. In more costly areas, loan limits rose to $726,525 from $679,650. These higher limits offer buyers access to a bigger piece of the market, especially as home prices continue to climb. FHA loans can be a good first step for new homebuyers. There’s always the option to refinance down the road, as they build equity, into a conventional mortgage, which will eliminate the PMI requirement. Equity and renovations Most baby boomers not only plan to stay in their homes, but they also plan on remodeling them, according to a recent survey by Chase and Pulsenomics. The majority of respondents, 9 out of 10, said they want to make improvements on their home, with bathroom renovations topping the list of remodeling projects. Boomers also said they plan on starting home renovation projects within the next three years. The big question is: what’s the best way to fund these big-ticket projects? One option is to borrow against the equity in your home and save on interest. Today’s credit card interest rates hover around 18 percent, making them about three times as expensive as a home equity loan, which has a 6 percent interest rate. Home equity lines of credit, or HELOCs, up to $30,000, currently have
an estimated 7 percent interest rate. Both types of equity loans are far less expensive than using credit cards. Homeowners who plan to age in place might do better financially by tapping home equity, provided they have a stable source of income. The downside of using home equity is that, if you fail to pay the loan, you could lose your house. Be sure to talk to your financial advisor before you decide. Tax changes Most homeowners can skip claiming mortgage interest to save time and money This tax season homeowners will have to make a choice: to take the standard deduction — which almost doubled in 2018 — or itemize their taxes and claim costs associated with homeownership, such as mortgage interest. Many homeowners will likely find the best option is to save time itemizing deductions and take the standard deduction. In 2018, the standard deduction almost doubled per the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, or TCJA. The current deduction for singles is $12,000, up from $6,350 in 2017, and $24,000 for married couples filing jointly. This affects homebuyers because there’s less incentive to deduct mortgage interest, PMI interest and property taxes this year than in years past. The sizable raise in the standard deduction ceiling will work in most taxpayers’ favor and also save them time in itemizing deductions. High-income homeowners living in heavily taxed states will likely be most affected by the tax code change, particularly in the revisions to the state and local tax deductions, known as SALT, according to Carmen Alvarez, CPA and owner of The Alvarez CPA Group in Tampa, Florida. The TCJA capped SALT deductions at $10,000, which includes both property tax and either state tax or sales tax. Before TCJA, there was no limit on SALT deductions, which benefited people with large mortgages and high-priced tax bills. According to a report by the Tax Policy Center, about 9 percent of households will be affected by the change. “My best guess is that wealthier people are going to see this cut into their deductions,” Alvarez says. “That’s why so many people paid two years of real estate taxes at the end of 2017, so they could get one more year where this real estate tax wasn’t capped at $10,000.” Talk with your accountant before you spend too much time itemizing your deductions. Although mortgage interest and PMI can be a big part of your home expenses, they still might not outweigh what you can get from the standard deduction.

Wanting to buy, not same as being fully prepared to do it “Wanting” to buy a home and “being ready” to buy a home are two completely different things. According to a report from bankrate.com, a Bank of the West study found that 56 percent of Millennials believe owning a home is more important than paying off debt or retiring comfortably. They may want to buy a home but they might not be ready for it. Even as many are still hoping to achieve their American dream of buying a home, that doesn’t mean everyone is financially prepared. The basics of preparation, as outlined by Bankrate, are: 1. pull your credit report and check your score; 2. review your budget; 3. get preapproved; 4. beef up your down payment; 5. get a Realtor; 6. don’t skimp on a home inspection; 7. make a plan B (and C). Your credit report and corresponding score are your golden tickets to buying a home. They showcase your credit responsibility and worthiness. Your credit score can seriously affect your mortgage rate. The higher your credit score, the lower your interest rate will be. This means you’ll end up owing a lot less money over the life of the loan. Your credit score is broken down
by: payment history, 35 percent, credit utilization, 30 percent, length of history, 15 percent, types of credit, 10 percent, new credit, 10 percent. You can pull your credit report for free from Bankrate to go over your credit history. Cleaning up your credit report is one of your first steps to pre-buying a home. If there are errors, call one of the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to have them removed. If you’re noticing a high credit utilization, start chunking away at your debt. See if you can consolidate your debt, refinance for lower interest payments, or transfer a big credit card balance to another card with friendlier repayment terms. Keep your utilization below 30 percent of your total limit. Avoid getting new credit within a year of buying a home since it can cause a temporary dip in your score. The length of your credit history matters, too. The longer your credit history, the more credit-responsible you look. Review your budget If you’re working on a clean bill of credit health, give your budget a hard assessment. Use the 28-36 rule to see See PREPARING Page 20

Preparing to buy means having plan B (and C) Continued from Page 19 where your money is going. This is when your maximum household expenses shouldn’t exceed 28 percent of your gross monthly income. Your debt, like credit cards and loans, shouldn’t exceed 36 percent. Your debt-to-income ratio, or DTI, is important to lenders for determining how much home you can afford and if you’re a good candidate to receive a mortgage. You might discover you need to make some adjustments, like spending less on travel and clothing, for example, to make room for a mortgage payment. Fine-tuning your budget prehomebuying will allow you to put extra cash towards a down payment, closing costs, or potentially higher home costs than you’re paying right now. Get preapproved With a stellar credit score and a solid down payment built up, you might feel confident in buying the house of your dreams. But until you get preapproved, that house will stay in your dreams. Getting prequalified is nice, but it’s not the same thing. A prequalification is only based off information you give a lender. A preapproval is completing a mortgage application that pulls all your financial records. Lenders base how much money
they’re willing to give you based on your entire financial existence: your income, debt, and credit history all pay a crucial role. But it’s also there to show you how much home you can afford. If you know you can only get a $200,000 loan, you won’t waste your time looking at half a million-dollar homes. It’s important to remember that you don’t need to settle on the first lender you find. Browse through different banks, online lenders, and credit unions to see which ones offer the best terms. Compare interest rates, fees, and the terms for paying back your loan. Consider working with a mortgage broker to help you weed through your options. Beef up your down payment Down payments for homes and cars are very similar: the higher the down payment, the less each monthly payment will be. But homes are much more expensive, which means the more you can put towards your down payment, the better off you’ll be every month. It can be difficult to keep stashing money away for a down payment when you’re trying to afford basic necessities right now. Try cutting back on things you can manage, like dining out, grocery spending, unnecessary purchases, and travel. Your debt might be holding you
back as well. Try making larger debt payments every month until it’s completely paid off. Then the money you were putting towards your debt can now go to your down payment fund. Get a Realtor Whether you’re looking for a home 300 miles away or three, it’s a good idea to find someone who knows the neighborhoods better than you. A Realtor is on the hunt for your best interest because they want you to find the right home and buy it. Agents get their commission after a home is sold, so you don’t have to worry about costs up front. Not all real estate agents do the same great job. So if you’re on the hunt for a great one, do your research. Look for a Realtor with top-notch credentials that has a proven track record. It’s similar to interviewing someone for a job, so talking to a potential agent’s former clients through may help you determine if they’re the right fit for you. Don’t skimp on an inspection You might think getting a home inspection is unnecessary. After all, you toured the home yourself and you would’ve seen major issues. True, maybe you can spot the big problems, but what about the small ones? Home inspections go over every single detail of your home, from walls

and appliances to the roof and drainage. Getting an inspection is a major part of buying a home because if there is, say, a water leak, you can take this issue back to the seller for negotiation. Either they fix the problem before you buy it or they lower their asking price of the home to accommodate the new cost of fixing the leak. Make a plan B (and C) As you’ve diligently prepared for your future home, you might not have considered what might happen if it doesn’t work out. What if your down payment is a little low? What if you don’t get the lender with the best terms? What if your dream home has an old roof? Regardless of the setback, build the “just in case” options into your plan. If your down payment is too low, maybe you get an FHA loan instead of a conventional one. If you don’t get the lender with the best terms, maybe you get the second-best terms. That old roof may save you a lot if you talk the seller down, but you’ll need to make sure you can afford to replace after you close on the home. Throughout the entire home-buying process, you will face different options for every single step you make. It’s important to remember how your choices are affected along the way.

Construction value to show slight increase in 2019 Construction starts for 2019 will stay essentially even with last year, Dodge Data & Analytics announced in its annual Dodge Construction Outlook. The report predicts that total U.S. construction starts for 2019 will be $808 billion, slightly ahead of the $807 billion estimated for 2018. “Over the past three years, the expansion for the U.S. construction industry has shown deceleration in its rate of growth, a pattern that typically takes place as an expansion matures,” said Robert A. Murray, chief economist for Dodge Data & Analytics.
“After advancing 11 percent to 14 percent each year from 2012 through 2015, total construction starts climbed 7 percent in both 2016 and 2017, and a 3 percent increase is estimated for 2018. Higher material costs have been an issue, but these have been balanced by the stronger growth for the U.S. economy, for now, he said. “An important question going into 2019 is whether deceleration is followed by a period of high level stability or a period of decline,” Murray said. “For 2019, it’s expected that growth for the U.S. economy won’t be quite as

strong as what’s taking place in 2018, as the benefits of tax cuts begin to wane. Short-term interest rates will rise, as the Federal Reserve continues to move monetary policy towards a more neutral stance. Long-term interest rates will also rise, reflecting higher inflationary expectations by the financial markets. At the same time, any erosion in market fundamentals for commercial real estate will stay modest. By major sector in dollar terms, residential building will be down 2 percent, nonresidential building will

match its 2018 amount, and nonbuilding construction will increase 3 percent, according to the Dodge analysis. The pattern of construction starts by more specific segments is the following: • Single family housing will be unchanged in dollar terms, alongside a modest 3 percent drop in housing starts to 815,000 (Dodge basis). • Multifamily housing will slide 6 percent in dollars and 8 percent in units to 465,000 (Dodge basis). Market fundamentals such as occupancies and rent growth had shown modest erosion prior to 2018 and is expected to continue in the year ahead.
