May 2014 Real Estate Guide by OC Today-Dispatch

or potential buyers who hope to glimpse where the market is heading by checking the monthly sales statistics as part of their buying preparations, there is one important point to remember: don’t forget to look at the weather. More specifically, anyone who hopes to gain some insight into the current sales situation by looking up March’s sales also should check the weather for the months preceding it. Why? It’s simple: People look before they buy and they aren’t going to look at a property in person if the weather is not conducive to visiting. That was the situation up and down the Mid-Atlantic region in the late winter and early spring, as cold, snowy weather seemed to cycle through for weeks on end. Even though the tempera-

ture for this past February was no different than that recorded for February 2013, with the mean temperature, or midpoint, for both months at 36 degrees, February 2014 felt colder, and was certainly more miserable overall. That’s because February 2014 had just 11 sunny days all month as compared to 20 sunny days in the preceding February. And, as everyone knows about that dreary time two months ago, it snowed. Again. Altogether, between rain and snow, February 2014 had close to a half-inch more precipitation of one kind or another than its predecessor (precipitation is not to be confused with just snow, since an inch of rain equals anywhere between five to 10 inches of snow, depending on how wet See SUNNY Page 2

Sunny sales picture Continued from Page 1 the snow is). Meteorologically speaking, neither January nor February was the kind of month that beckoned to property shoppers and that is reflected in the statistics for the month compiled by the Coastal Association of Realtors. Overall, sales of properties in Worcester County were off by 14 percent in March, dropping from 133 the year before to 115. Why that is likely weather-related is because the same data sheet also shows a 25 percent upsurge in contracts over the same time last year, rising from 146 to 183 agreements waiting for settlement. In other words, prospective buyers delayed their personal inspections until

the sun came out toward the end of this year’s first quarter. So, while the demand for year-round and vacation homes remains up, that terrible winter weather interrupted the proceedings. This isn’t a local situation, as industry analysts from across the country reported similar results for the hardest hit areas. The housing market wasn’t alone in this situation either, as restaurant and retail activity also took a hit because of the weather, not to mention all the school closings. The good news, as the March surge in real estate contracts shows, is that the weather-related dip in sales was temporary and that demand for properties is climbing.

First-time buyers make up 30 percent of March sales

REAL ESTATE RESOURCE: COASTAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Existing-home sales were essentially flat in March, while the growth in home prices moderated, according to the National Association of Realtors®. Sales gains in the Northeast and Midwest were offset by declines in the West and South. Total existing-home sales, which are completed transactions that include single-family homes, townhomes, condominiums and co-ops, slipped 0.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 4.59 million in March from 4.60 million in February, and are 7.5 percent below the 4.96 million-unit pace in March 2013. March’s sales volume remained the slowest since July 2012, when it was 4.59 million. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said that current sales activity is underperforming by historical standards. “There really should be stronger levels of home sales given our population growth,” he said. “In contrast, price growth is rising faster than historical norms because of inventory shortages.” Yun expects some improvement in the months ahead. “With ongoing job creation and some weather delayed shopping activity, home sales should pick up, especially if inventory continues to improve and mortgage interest rates rise only modestly.” The median existing-home price for all housing types in March was $198,500, up 7.9 percent from March 2013. Distressed homes – foreclosures

and short sales – accounted for 14 percent of March sales, down from 16 percent in February and 21 percent in March 2013. “With rising home equity, we expect distressed homes to decline to a single-digit market share later this year,” Yun said. Ten percent of March sales were foreclosures, and 4 percent were short sales. Foreclosures sold for an average discount of 18 percent below market value in March, while short sales were discounted 12 percent. Total housing inventory at the end of March rose 4.7 percent to 1.99 million existing homes available for sale, which represents a 5.2-month supply at the current sales pace, up from 5.0 months in February. Unsold inventory is 3.1 percent above a year ago, when there was a 4.7-month supply. The median time on market for all homes was 55 days in March, down from 62 days in February, and also 62 days on market in March 2013. Short sales were on the market for a median of 112 days in March, while foreclosures typically sold in 55 days and non-distressed homes took 53 days. Thirty-seven percent of homes sold in March were on the market for less than a month. According to Freddie Mac, the national average commitment rate for a See RIGID Page 14

Continued from Page 12 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage rose to 4.34 percent in March from 4.30 percent in February; the rate was 3.57 percent in March 2013. First-time buyers accounted for 30 percent of purchases in March, up from 28 percent in February; they were 30 percent in March 2013. NAR President Steve Brown, coowner of Irongate Inc., Realtors® in Dayton, Ohio, said first-time buyers have been stuck in a rut. “There are indications that the stringent mortgage underwriting standards are beginning to ease a bit, particularly regarding credit score requirements, but they remain a headwind for entry-level and single-income home buyers,” he said. “We also have tight inventory in the lower price ranges where many starter homes are found, but rising new-home construction means some owners will be trading up and more existing homes will be added to the inventory. Hopefully, this will create more opportunities for first-time buyers,” Brown said. All-cash sales comprised 33 percent of transactions in March, compared with 35 percent in February and 30 percent in March 2013. Individual investors, who account for many cash sales, purchased 17 percent of homes in March, down from 21 percent in February and 19 percent in March 2013. Seventy-one

Vacation home sales see surge in 2013 PAGE 16

REAL ESTATE RESOURCE: COASTAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Vacation home sales rose strongly in 2013, while investment purchases fell below the elevated levels seen in the previous two years, according to the National Association of Realtors®. NAR’s 2014 Investment and Vacation Home Buyers Survey, covering existing- and new-home transactions in 2013, shows vacation-home sales jumped 29.7 percent to an estimated 717,000 last year from 553,000 in 2012. Investment-home sales fell 8.5 percent to an estimated 1.10 million in 2013 from 1.21 million in 2012. Owner-occupied purchases rose 13.1 percent to 3.70 million last year from 3.27 million in 2012. The sales estimates are based on responses from households and exclude institutional investment activity. NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun expected an improvement in the vacation home market. “Growth in the equity markets has greatly benefited high net-worth households, thereby providing the wherewithal and confidence to purchase recreational property,” he said. “However, vacation-home sales are still about one-third below the peak activity seen in 2006.” Vacation-home sales accounted for 13 percent of all transactions last year, their highest market share since 2006, while the portion of investment sales fell to 20 percent in 2013

from 24 percent in 2012. Yun said the pullback in investment activity is understandable. “Investment buyers slowed their purchasing in 2013 because prices were rising quickly along with a declining availability of discounted foreclosures over the course of the year,” he said. “In 2011 and 2012, investment property was a no-brainer because home prices had sharply over-corrected during the downturn in many areas, creating great bargains that could be quickly turned into profitable rentals. With a return to more normal market conditions, investors now have to evaluate their purchases more carefully and do their homework,” Yun added. The median investment-home price was $130,000 in 2013, up 13.0 percent from $115,000 in 2012, while the median vacation-home price was $168,700, up 12.5 percent from $150,000 in 2012. All-cash purchases remained fairly common in the investment and vacation-home market: 46 percent of investment buyers paid cash in 2013, as did 38 percent of vacation-home buyers. Of buyers who financed their purchase with a mortgage, large downpayments continued to be the norm in 2013. The median downpayment for investment buyers was 26 per-

cent, while vacation-home buyers typically put 30 percent down. Forty-seven percent of investment homes purchased in 2013 were distressed homes, as were 42 percent of vacation homes. Lifestyle factors remain the primary motivation for vacation-home buyers, while rental income is the main factor in investment purchases. The typical vacation-home buyer was 43 years old, had a median household income of $85,600 and purchased a property that was a median distance of 180 miles from his or her primary residence; 46 percent of vacation homes were within 100 miles and 34 percent were more than 500 miles. Buyers plan to own their recreational property for a median of 6 years, down from 10 years in 2012. Five percent of vacation-home buyers had already resold their property, while another 9 percent plan to sell within a year. “This reflects the 28 percent of recreational property buyers who said they purchased to diversify investments or saw a good investment opportunity,” Yun said. Buyers listed many reasons for purchasing a vacation home: 87 percent want to use the property for vacations or as a family retreat, 31 percent plan to use it as a primary residence in the future, 28 percent wanted to diversify their investments or saw a good investment opportu-

MAY 2014

nity, 23 percent plan to rent to others and 22 percent intend it for use by a family member, friend or relative. Forty-one percent of vacation homes purchased last year were in the South, 28 percent in the West, 18 percent in the Northeast and 14 percent in the Midwest. Investment-home buyers in 2013 had a median age of 42, earned $111,400 and bought a home that was relatively close to their primary residence – a median distance of 20 miles. Fifty percent of investment buyers said they purchased for rental income, 34 percent wanted to diversify their investments or saw a good investment opportunity, and 22 percent bought for a family member, friend or relative to use – often to house a son or daughter while attending college. Seven percent of homes purchased by investment buyers last year have already been resold, and another 10 percent are planned to be sold within a year. Overall, investment buyers plan to hold the property for a median of 5 years, down from 8 years in 2012. Thirty-eight percent of investment properties purchased last year were in the South, 25 percent in the West, 18 percent in the Northeast and 19 percent in the Midwest. See SURVEY Page 22

HOA’s more restrictive, but offer protection PAGE 22

REAL ESTATE RESOURCE: COASTAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS/OCEAN CITY TODAY

Ask two different homeowners what they think about living in a community with a homeowners association and you may see one of them scowl and another one smile. The difference of opinion on homeowners associations, or HOAs, depends on several factors, including individual personalities and preferences and the quality of the particular HOA. Rules and dues vary but, in general, homeowners who live in an HOA must abide by its regulations and pay a monthly, quarterly or an-

nual fee that pays for management and maintenance of the community. Many homeowners prefer to live in an HOA for several reasons, including: Community appearance: Homes within an HOA must meet the standards set by the association or face a fine, so you’re less likely to see unkempt lawns, peeling paint or a garishly painted house. Some HOAs have a design review board with the power to approve any changes to your home’s exterior, and which establishes a color palette for exterior

Continued from Page 16 More than eight out of 10 secondhome buyers, both for vacation and investment homes, said it was a good time to buy. Approximately 43.4 million people in the U.S. are ages 50-59 – a group that dominated second-home sales in the middle part of the past decade and established records. An additional 42.7 million people are 40-49 years old, which is the historic prime age range for purchasing second homes, while another 40.4 million are 30-39 years of age. NAR’s analysis of U.S. Census Bu-

reau data shows there are 8.0 million vacation homes and 43.7 million investment units in the U.S., compared with 74.7 million owner-occupied homes. NAR’s 2014 Investment and Vacation Home Buyers Survey, conducted in March 2014, includes answers about 2,203 homes purchased during 2013 from a representative panel of 2,008 U.S. households. The survey controlled for age and income, based on information from the larger 2013 NAR Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers, to limit any biases in the characteristics of respondents.

Survey shows buyers agree now a good time to get second home

doesn’t mean you can’t buy at all within an HOA, but you’ll have to find one with regulations that meet your requirements. HOA regulations are usually set by a committee or board of directors and then enforced by a paid management company or a group of volunteers. You can become involved with the HOA in order to have a voice in the decisions being made. Homeowners can request a rule change or an individual waiver, but there’s no guarantee that your request will be granted. HOA fees depend on multiple factors such as the amenities in the community and which services are covered by the fees. When you’re buying a home, you need to compare HOA fees from one community to another based on what they cover. You should decide if you’ll use the amenities you’re paying for, such as tennis courts or a swimming pool. Keep in mind, however, that the presence of these amenities can add to your home’s value, even if you don’t directly take advantage of them. Many homeowners appreciate that HOAs often maintain higher standards for a neighborhood’s appearance, but there’s no question that you need to understand the regulations and costs in every community where you’re considering buying a home.

paint and trim. Many HOA’s have rules about how many cars or even what type of vehicles can be parked on your property. For example, they may ban commercial vans or RVs. Low maintenance: Depending on the HOA, services such as trash and snow removal and lawn care are handled by the association, leaving less work for the homeowner. Typically, common areas are maintained by the association. Recreational amenities: While not all HOAs have swimming pools and tennis courts, many offer a range of amenities such as a community center, walking trails, sports courts and playing fields reserved for residents. Association management: If you have a problem with your neighbor’s dog barking, loud parties or a dispute over a tree, you can ask the management to handle the issue rather than getting directly into a spat with the homeowner next door. For some buyers, the idea that a management association can tell you when you can put out a decorative flag or that you can’t park your truck in front of your property is a dealbreaker. If you have a concern that something that’s important to you, such as your ability to run a business from your home, could be banned by HOA rules, then be particularly careful to read all the regulations before you buy a home in a community with a homeowners association.
