Arbor Creek has all write turns INNOVATION | EDMOND ADDITION’S LITERARY THEME INCLUDES DONATIONS TO SCHOOL LIBRARIES BY DYRINDA TYSON For The Oklahoman dyrinda@gmail.com
EDMOND — Pity the construction manager who has to order deliveries to addresses along Road Not Taken or Sonny Blues. “He gets all kinds of grief from suppliers,” laughed Caleb McCaleb, owner and president of McCaleb Homes. Those street names and others in the Arbor Creek addition, north of Second Street east of Interstate 35, might sound familiar to anyone who paid attention in their high school English class. Poet Robert Frost published “Road Not Taken” in 1916, and author James Baldwin first published his short story “Sonny’s Blues” in 1957. McCaleb’s 10 Bungalow Collection home designs are named for literary figures, from the 1,428square-foot Frost to the 2,380-square-foot Steinbeck. And the streets surrounding them in Arbor Creek stem from their works. Expansion can keep the company’s staff of seven busy. “Each time we have a new section of streets to name, we all sit down together, research all those famous authors — their books, their poems — and come up with some street names,” said Jennifer Hodgens, sales manager. Five years ago, McCaleb Homes representatives approached Texas-based designer Carol Lavender looking for fresh ideas. Lavender, who has designed other homes for McCaleb, told them to seek out historic areas around the metro area. “She said, ‘Go take as many pictures of those as you can,’ ” Hodgens said. “So we did that solid for about two years.” Lavender used the photos as references for new designs, drawing heavily

Empty nest results in big decisions As your kids grow up and move on to their adult lives, you realize you’ll soon have a much larger house than you and your spouse need. Do you sell the property and walk away from what you consider an idyllic suburban setting — letting go of neighborhood friends and happy memories? And if you sell, what sort of place do you buy and how much do you spend? These questions are extremely difficult for parents who’ve spent years absorbed in raising their offspring with very little thought to their own future housing plans, said Eric Tyson, author of “Personal Finance for Dummies” and several real estate books. He said pre-retirement years are a good time for empty nesters to take stock of their housing needs and overall financial situation, though many people fail to seize that opportunity. Cary Carbonaro, a financial planner since 1990, said it’s rare for those in her profession to help clients assess their housing choices. “Whether to sell your family home or stay is a very personal decision. As advisers, we can’t tell
Ellen James Martin SMART MOVES clients what to do. But we can help them sort out the financial implications of their alternatives,” said Carbonaro, who’s affiliated with the National Association of Personal Financial Advisors (www.napfa.org). Here are a few pointers for empty nesters: I Look at both the pros and cons of selling your present property. As Carbonaro notes, some parents of grown children look forward to downscaling to a smaller place with fewer maintenance demands. “The idea of a less complicated lifestyle can be appealing,” she said. Yet others yearn to take over their kids’ old rooms in ways that
would be enjoyable to them. “They transform the extra bedrooms into hobby rooms, for crafts, exercise or home offices,” she said. Others count on frequent family gatherings. But many will find the expense of keeping such a large house unjustified. “Do you really want to pay for all that space, including your taxes and utility costs, just so you can entertain your kids for a week or two each year? Probably it would be less expensive to put them up in a nearby hotel for those few days,” Tyson said. I Ask for professional advice to help make a solid decision. By going through a professional group, you should be able to locate a planner to hire for just the few hours it takes to talk through your housing options. Another course that Tyson recommends involves seeking advice from a certified public accountant trained as a “personal financial specialist.” The American Institute of CPAs awards this designation. You can locate a personal financial specialist by visiting the organization’s website: www. aicpa.org.
Mod Podge made decoupage all the rage in the late ’60s and ’70s. Even the label of the glue looks like a throwback to the flower-power era. But the stuff is still going strong with a new generation of devotees. The versatile decoupage medium gets a 21stcentury spin in Amy Anderson’s book “Mod Podge Rocks! Decoupage Your World.” Anderson shares more than 40 Mod Podge projects she and fellow craft bloggers have created. They include furniture, home accessories, holiday decorations, jewelry and even a pair of fabricaccented boots. The book also includes a primer on the various types of Mod Podge (who knew there was one with hologram glitter and one for outdoor use?) along with basic techniques. “Mod Podge Rocks!” is published by Lark Crafts and sells for $14.95 in softcover.
I Include retirement planning in your housing analysis. If you lack funds for retirement but have substantial equity in your property, selling the big family home could open the way for investments that are potentially more lucrative. Tyson said “many people romanticize about living somewhere cheaper and simpler.” But he cautions there can be many hidden costs associated with selling one home and moving to a distant state to buy another smaller place. “There are always financial trade-offs involved. Maybe you’ll spend less to buy a house in the new area and your taxes will be lower. But remember there are likely to be many expenses to fix up your house for sale, to move and to buy the new place,” he said. Also, he recommends you factor in how living in a remote area — away from a major airline hub — might increase your travel costs and those of grown offspring who wish to visit.

the schools and presenting the money is one of her favorite parts of the job. “One time we had a little kid stand up and say, ‘We’re rich!’ ” she recalled. “They’re always so grateful and so excited about books and about reading.” And it was only a short leap from Books for Bungalows to a literarythemed neighborhood. “We’ve built homes for two separate sets of English professors,” Hodgens said. “It kind of attracts that.” The concept fits in well with Arbor Creek, where the homes with their wraparound porches, bright accents and throwback designs give the neighborhood a slice-ofAmericana feeling. Inside, though, they’re thoroughly modern. The 2,380-square-foot model home at 732 Road Not Taken, the Steinbeck plan, is dominated by an open kitchen featuring granite countertops and possibly the smartest pantry design around — open the frosted glass door, and the light inside automatically comes on. Close the door, and it goes off. “Everybody loves that,” Hodgens said. The city of Edmond has been flexible when it comes to street names, McCaleb said, though Road Not Taken was problematic at first. “They kept calling it Road Not Taken Road,” he said. The issue has been resolved, he added.
Fun with names The street names may evoke smiles — or confusion. But it’s a win-win, McCaleb said. “Usually the people who are really into reading will pick up on the street names when they come in,” he said. “Other times, people are like ‘What is that?’ And it gives us a chance to explain where it

FICO credit scores, by the numbers WASHINGTON — In a marketplace where lenders are demanding recordhigh FICO credit scores — Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are averaging around 760 on approved mortgages this year — are you a little fuzzy about what can push your scores up or down? Take “inquiries,” which Fair Isaac Corp., the developer of the iconic score methodology dominant in the mortgage field, says are among the most widely misunderstood components of its system. Do multiple inquiries — requests by lenders and others to pull your national credit bureau reports — knock your score down? Do you know whether your lender is entering the correct code to minimize damage to your score when you’re shopping for a mortgage and generating lots of inquiries? If you’re young or otherwise new to the world of credit, could
multiple inquiries do enough damage to prevent you from getting approved for a home purchase? Given the importance of maintaining high scores, FICO senior scientist Frederic Huynh agreed to run through the key rules governing how inquiries affect homebuyers and mortgage applicants in an interview with me and a post on Fair Isaac’s Banking Analytics blog, http://banking analyticsblog.fico.com/. Start with the basics: Yes, racking up large numbers of inquiries can lower your score. The FICO models consider them significant because extensive behavioral research has shown that “consumers who are seeking new credit accounts are riskier,” more prone to defaults, according to Huynh. “Statistically people with six or more inquiries on their credit reports can be up to eight times more likely to declare bankruptcy than
Kenneth Harney THE NATION’S HOUSING
people with no inquiries on their reports,” he said. So inquiries do matter. But this doesn’t mean that if you’re shopping for a home loan or refinancing, and six lenders pull your credit reports, that you’re going to be hit with six separate inquiries and have your score lowered. The FICO models, Huynh said, ignore all mortgagerelated inquiries during the 30 days immediately preceding the computation of the score. All mortgage inquiries during the 45 days preceding your loan application only count as no more than a single inquiry. The same buffer zones cover shopping for auto loans and
Preservationist to recount humor of drawn-out ordeal FROM STAFF REPORTS
Preservationist and “do-it-yourself hero” Ron Tanner will perform his comic monologue — about his nearly decadelong home-renovation ordeal — at the Gaylord-Pickens Oklahoma Heritage Museum, 1400 Classen Drive, at 7 p.m. Monday. Tanner bought a wrecked Victorian house in Baltimore a decade ago because his girlfriend fell in love with the place. Never mind that it was condemned. And a former frat house. His Realtor said, “Don’t do it. This place will Ron Tanner eat you alive!” The crumbling brownstone was so trashed — full of garbage and fratboy furniture, including a walk-in closet full of term papers — that nobody would buy it. The bank was selling it “as is.” But his girlfriend, Jill, realRon Tanner ly wanted the wrote book on house. And Ron rethis house’s really wanted Jill. So storation. he bought the place. That was the beginning of their adventure, which everyone said would surely ruin them. Neither knew anything about fixing houses. And they had been dating only a few months. Tanner wrote a book about it: “From Animal House to Our House: a Love Story.” He is touring the country with a slideshow that takes viewers through the harrowing and hilarious times he and Jill experienced. Spoiler alert: Everything turned out fabulous. Jill and Ron got married in the house. Then, in 2008, This Old House magazine featured their work.

student loans — but no other forms of credit. In any event, Huynh said, a single inquiry usually is not a big deal, knocking less than five points off your score per pop. But experts in the credit-reporting field say that despite FICO’s good intentions, bad things can happen on inquiries. This is especially true for people with “thin” credit files, such as young, first-time homebuyers and others without extensive credit histories. Larry Nelson, owner of KCB Information Services in Pekin, Ill., a credit reporting agency active in the mortgage field, said a recent applicant lost her preapproved home loan at closing because five new inquiries for an auto loan suddenly appeared on her credit reports. This deflated her FICO score to 610, a loss of 30 points and put her below the minimum score required for the mortgage.
How could this happen, since auto loans are one of the three protected classes of credit where multiple inquiries within a short time period are OK? According to Nelson, unless loan officers properly code the purpose of the inquiry when they report it to the national credit bureaus — an auto loan in this case — it won’t necessarily be identified in credit files that way. Nelson’s homebuyer had double bad luck: None of the inquiries that should have been covered by the 30-day buffer carried the correct purpose identification. Plus Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have begun requiring lenders to pull a second set of credit reports before closing to ensure that applicants’ FICO scores haven’t changed significantly. In this case, there was a sudden spike of score-injuring inquiries in the bureaus’ files and the buyer couldn’t close on the loan.
Nelson said glitches like this “are becoming more commonplace” and can hurt unwary consumers. He strongly urges mortgage applicants to avoid all credit-related shopping — for credit cards, furniture, home improvements, you name it — in the weeks before their closing because a string of inquiries can mount up and knock the home purchase off track or delay it. Of course not all inquiries indicate active credit seeking, Huynh said, even though your files are accessed. For example, if you’re checking on your credit before applying for a mortgage — either through www.annualcreditreport. com, where they are free once a year or by simply buying them from Equifax, Experian or TransUnion — your FICO score goes untouched.

You can’t defeat dust, but you can control it BY DIANA MARSZALEK For The Associated Press
Once a week, Diane Foernssler takes up arms against the dust that invades her Darien, Ill., home, using everything from the vacuum cleaner to a special mop for blinds and baseboards. On those other six days, however, the dust wins. “It’s everywhere and it never goes away,” said Foernssler, a fitness trainer and mother of two. “It’s a losing battle.” Unfortunately, she’s right. Experts say dust’s constant accumulation on all those books, clothes and knickknacks has nothing to do with poor housekeeping. It’s a naturally and continually forming collection of some pretty gross stuff. “It has nothing to do with being dirty,” said Dr. William Berger, a Mission Viejo, Calif., allergist and author of “Asthma and Allergies for Dummies.” “You can leave your house closed for two or three weeks and come back and there will be dust.” A whole lot of it. According to Berger, the average six-room home in the United States collects
40 pounds of dust each year. The main contributors to all that indoor dust are microscopic dust mites; the breakdown of fibers from household fabrics and furniture; and human and animal dander (the nice name for skin flakes). The dust mites, which have a taste for human skin, come in “countless numbers” in your bedding alone, let alone other spots around the house, Berger said. Getting rid of them is impossible; Females lay 20 to 50 eggs every three weeks. Dust and dust mites are a large part of indoor air pollution, a leading environmental health risk — primarily because people spend about 90 percent of their time indoors, according to Molly Hooven, a spokeswoman for the Environmental Protection Agency. Dust and dust mites can trigger asthma attacks and allergies. There are, therefore, reasons for keeping dust to a minimum that are far more important than maintaining appearances, Hooven said. So while eradicating dust altogether may be a pipe dream, there are steps you can take to mitigate its accumulation in your home. The first is the same old trick that shows up on housekeeping tip sheets again and again: Get Rid of
All That Stuff. “The more clutter there is the more dust there is,” Berger said. Things like books, clothing and toys such as stuffed animals are prime collectors of dust, he said. So are the pennants and posters kids like to hang on their walls. Berger suggests concentrating dust-fighting efforts on bedrooms, since we spend about one-third of our lives asleep. “The bedroom should be as bare as possible,” Berger said. That means having an uncarpeted floor, minimal furniture and only the current season’s clothes in the closet. For walls, using paint that can be cleaned with water is helpful. So are HEPA (short for High-Efficiency Particulate Arresting) air filters. Occasionally using those old standbys — a vacuum and a can of Endust — also provides at least temporary relief, Berger said. But if you’re looking to keep allergens, not just unsightliness, at bay, Berger suggests protecting yourself even more. Encase mattresses, box springs and pillows in allergy-proof covers. With summer approaching, Berger recommends air conditioning over fans, which simply blow dust around. (Remember to change air conditioner filters.)

PHILADELPHIA — Guess what’s back in the real estate vocabulary for many neighborhoods and communities? Multiple offers. Not everywhere, and not in every price range, but for houses that are priced properly and in the right location, it’s war — or maybe just a semi-polite skirmish. The top advice for buyers in these situations: Unless a buyer is paying cash, an offer must be accompanied by a preapproval letter from a lender for an amount higher than the asking price. No seller is going to wait for a buyer to shop for a mortgage if there are preapproved buyers in the competition already. Buyers who really want a house need to take decisive action, brokers say. “Snooze and you lose,” said Diane Williams of Weichert Realtors in Blue Bell, Pa. Multiple bids are a sign of reduced inventory in the price range that’s popular for a location. In many instances, however, it may be that the house for sale is desirable. Gary and Cindi Patrick’s meticulously maintained house in Franconia Township, Pa., had two offers and sold within 16 days of listing for $410,000, $2,000 below asking price. The Patricks, who lived in the house for more than 13 years, are retiring and moving to Florida.
“Our experience with the sale of our home was rather exciting,” Cindi Patrick said. She added that she had concerns with selling in this market, but had attempted to keep the house updated and well-maintained, “which we feel paid off when shown.” Their choice of neutral colors seemed to appeal to potential buyers “in that they can easily picture themselves living here,” she said. “As a result, we felt we would attract interest. However, we were pleasantly surprised to have as much interest as we did, and to receive an immediate offer.” Philadelphia-area agent Jeff Block of Prudential Fox & Roach said he has four multiple-offer listings already sold and several more under agreement of sale. “The market is becoming really balanced, which is a great sign,” Block said. “We had virtually no multiple offers over the past several years, since we were in a solid buyers’ market.” Block said there was a lot of interest in homes priced well for the market. “And in this market, depending on the situation and pricing, multiple offers don’t necessarily mean a home sells for at or over full asking price,” he said, confirming the Patricks’ experience. What it does mean, Block said, is that “the market is establishing the proper level for where that home should be.” MCT INFORMATION SERVICES

Sellers are unwilling to repair foundation defects DEAR BARRY: We are in escrow on a house, and the sellers’ disclosure statement listed no defects. But our home inspector found major foundation and drainage problems, and the contractor bid is over $40,000. Our Realtor said that the sellers can refuse to cover these costs. Is that possible? What is the average amount that buyers are usually credited with this kind of problem? Val DEAR VAL: In situations like this, repair costs are entirely negotiable. It all depends on how much you are willing to accept and how much the sellers can be persuaded to pay. In a buyers’ market, it is easier to get sellers to pay for repairs. But some sellers are stubborn and would rather lose the sale than give in to repair demands. You will need to decide how strongly you feel about buying the property and whether it is worth the additional cost of repairs. From that perspective, you can decide how firmly to negotiate.
The fact that the sellers disclosed no defects casts a shadow of doubt on their trustworthiness, although it is possible that they were unaware of the foundation problems. Either way, $40,000 in repairs is no small issue. So be careful in your negotiations. If they will not budge, it might be time to look for another property. DEAR BARRY: We are selling our home, and because we live in the Rocky Mountains, the buyers’ home inspector did a radon test. On the day he was scheduled to pick up the testing equipment, he arrived two hours earlier than scheduled and let himself into the house without contacting us or our agent. My kids came home from school when he was packing up his truck. What recourse do we have for this intrusion into our home? Did he have the right to enter without permission? Diane DEAR DIANE: The inspector should have called you or the agent to say that he would be ar-

riving early to pick up the radon equipment. Failure to provide notice of early arrival and unauthorized entry into your home were breaches of professional protocol. He and the agent should be made aware of your displeasure, and an apology would be in order. However, as long as no damage was done, there is no point in taking legal action. Hopefully, your formal chastisement will ensure that the inspector enters no one else’s home without permission. DEAR BARRY: The home we are buying is being sold as-is. Our home inspector said there is a carbon monoxide leak in the attic, and there are no carbon monoxide detectors in the home. Are we responsible for these re-
Joanna DEAR JOANNA: In many states, sellers of homes are required to install carbon monoxide (CO) detectors, regardless of whether the sale is “as-is.” More important, however, is the fact that CO was found in the attic. This is a potentially life-threatening condition that calls for immediate evaluation of all fuelburning fixtures to determine the source. This condition should be addressed by a qualified licensed contractor prior to close of escrow. DEAR BARRY: I bought a 10year-old house a year ago. The home inspection was clean, but I just discovered something the home inspector missed. Water has been leaking into the garage, above the door header. Two contractors have bid $11,000 for the repairs. My home inspector took a second look and offered to pay me $2,500, as long as I sign a paper absolving him of further liability. What should I do? Paul
DEAR PAUL: If the inspector offered to pay you $2,500, he probably recognizes that he made an error in his inspection. If the inspection contract that you signed has a limit on liability, you may have to accept the amount that he has offered. You should read the contract to see what it says about liability limitations. There is also the possibility that the leak developed during the year since you purchased the house, but that could be difficult to prove one way or the other. In cases of this kind, home inspectors will sometimes offer a settlement simply to avoid the cost of litigation. If you want to pursue the matter, find out if the inspector has insurance for errors and omissions. If so, he is required to notify the insurance company about your claim. In that case, the total cost of repairs could be covered. To write to Barry Stone, visit him on the web at www.housedetective.com. ACTION COAST PUBLISHING
Making home work: design follows trends BY LISA BOONE Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — It happened by accident. When Kurtis and Wanda Weller Sakai went to remodel their 1971 ranch house in Ojai, Calif., the original plan was to add a fourth bedroom for Kurtis to use as an office. “We realized that if we went over 500 square feet, the add-on permits would get very expensive,” Kurtis said. A new master suite consumed much of that square footage, so architect Darwin McCredie shifted gears and added to the front of the house a compact 14-by-14-foot office — no bathroom, no walk-in closet, to stay under that magic number of 500. The result is a work space that feels apart from the rest of the house, a quality enhanced by the fact that the office is accessible only by an exterior door at the end of a long covered porch. “It feels a little funny going out there in my paja-

mas sometimes,” said Kurtis, a designer of athletic footwear for clients such as Teva and Patagonia. But as someone who always had worked out of a spare bedroom, he now finds the separation that comes with the new office to be a revelation. “The detachment feels serious.” And that is the point: At a time when so many people are bringing the office home, there’s a growing desire for more separation, physical and psychological, between work and personal life. One of the
most recent surveys on the subject, by the project management software company Wrike, found that, among 1,000 respondents, 83 percent worked from home at least part of the day. “It is such a pleasant thing to truly have a sense of separation,” Kurtis said. “My office might as well be down the street. It’s a physical and mental space where I keep all of my problems. You can truly forget about your work and not have it stare at you while you’re walking down
the hallway.” At a recent home tour organized by the American Institute of Architects’ Los Angeles chapter, three of the five homes had a detached office. It’s an increasingly common solution for L.A.’s creative class, including architects. “Architects are very happy about this solution as they reduce overhead costs and have the opportunity to spend more time with their family,” said Carlo Caccavale, associate director of the Los Angeles AIA chapter.
Less home closer to nature is more BY LISA BOONE Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — After living in what they had thought was their dream house — six bedrooms, five bathrooms, 3,900 square feet, complete with orange orchard and pool — Wanda Weller Sakai and Kurtis Sakai found themselves wanting something different. Something less. “We realized we’d rather downsize to something smaller and more humble and use whatever money we had left over to make something nice for ourselves. One of the wake-up calls was seeing how much time and money I had to spend on water, property taxes, utilities and landscaping,” Kurtis said, adding that the monthly water bill in summer was $700. “I started to think that, for the long haul, it didn’t make sense to be in a house
that big.” So they sold the house and bought a 1,700square-foot, 1971 ranch house fixer nearby at the foot of Los Padres National Forest. Working with architect Darwin McCredie, the couple created what McCredie calls “a transparent house” by adding 6-foot-wide glass sliders to every room. McCredie also added a master suite and office and rearranged rooms inside the home’s original footprint. The gabled roof of the garage was altered into a streamlined box, the bookend to the new office for Kurtis Sakai at the other end of the house. Covered porches in front and in back, added to combat the Ojai sun, play out as a sort of Modernist take on the hacienda. “That is what connects all the rooms in the house and creates outdoor
Pocket office gains popularity One of the biggest trends in new residential design, according to the National Association of Home Builders, is the pocket office — a small space devoted to paying bills, budgeting and other household affairs. Pocket offices generally are about half the size of a formal home office. They’re often set up in high-traffic areas such as the kitchen or a great room, where family members interact. In the Kurtis and Wanda Weller Sakai’s home, Kurtis’ separate work room is complemented by an alcove pocket office that Wanda uses just off the living room. Given the shrinking size of technology — from desktop computer to laptop and now to tablet — a large home office no longer makes sense for many households. That’s been particularly true during the real estate slump, which has forced families to make the most of limited space rather than trade up to a larger home. Another factor driving the trend: the growth of multigenerational living. Bedrooms that in years past would have been converted into home offices are increasingly being used as living quarters for extended family. MCT INFORMATION SERVICES
rooms,” McCredie said. “If you have a boring house, or even an ugly house, then the porch and the columns become the architecture.” A new retaining wall in the front yard “gives the house a strong base,” McCredie said, and provides more flat, functional land. Sakai installed drought-tolerant plants that he said take just about
30 minutes a week to maintain.

Bill Beauter, co-founder of Make Architecture in Los Angeles, designed a 200-square-foot detached work space for “The Office” actor Rainn Wilson. The architect recalled starting his practice a dozen years ago with Jess Mullen-Carey out of Beauter’s garage. “There are benefits to not having to go anyplace, especially if you want to tackle something immediately,” Beauter said. “But some people just don’t want to encumber their personal space.” For many, an office at home but not in the home is proving to be the best way to reconcile work and family life. Filmmaker and commercial director John Dolan said he chose a detached structure in his Studio City, Calif., backyard even though he could work in an office in Hollywood. He likes the quiet and privacy. He also likes being by his two boys, ages 4 and 5. “That is the biggest challenge of working from home,” Dolan said. “Being in a detached space helps a
lot. But it’s hard for the kids to understand that I’m working.” A plus: “being able to have lunch with them and clear my head by jumping on the trampoline with them.” Developer Billy Lehman recently installed a K4 Kithaus, a prefab design often used as an extra bedroom or office, in the Brentwood backyard of a writer-producer couple with kids. The couple found it was impossible to get work done in the home, so they added a dedicated building in back. Lehman and wife Dana Goodyear, a writer for the New Yorker, work from home in a separate structure too. “The psychological journey to walk from the house to the guest house is gigantic,” Lehman said. “We bring our work as close to where our heart life is. Working from home has been amazing for me. For the last 19 months I can see my baby whenever I want. It gives me great purpose and motivation in my work.” MCT INFORMATION SERVICES

Now is a good time to sell your home
HOUSE PLAN
Q: Is now a good time to put my house on the market, or should I wait another six to eight months? A: Generally speaking, now is a great time to put your house on the market because the inventory of homes for sale has declined. Buyers don’t have the choices that they did a year or two ago. That’s boosting prices and helping sellers. Contact a real estate agent who has experience in your specific neighborhood. He or she can pull the data that show how many other homes are for sale in your area and give you an idea how long it might take for you to find a buyer. I expect more bankowned homes to hit the market sometime after Labor Day, so selling now, ahead of that extra competition, could prove to be a smart move.
Offering solidarity, welcome The Keizer is a small home with a big heart. Brick veneer gives it a look of solidity, while the recessed front porch extends a warm welcome. At its core, a roomy country kitchen flows right into a spacious vaulted great room, with no more than ceiling variation and a peninsular counter for separation. Working in the kitchen, you can keep tabs on everything in this large gathering space, from chatting with visitors to supervising homework in progress. The kitchen ceiling is a lofty 11 feet high and flat. It transitions to vaulted in the great room at the rear, and the dining area, full of glass, facing the street. Wide windows on both sides of the fireplace brighten the family room. A sliding-glass door on one side allows access to a rear patio, ideal for outdoor dining on warm days. The owners’ suite is fairly large for a
home this size, completely filling the entire right side. A vaulted ceiling further expands the sense of volume here, and a walk-in closet provides abundant storage space. Other notable features include a linen closet and an oversized shower. Obscured glass fills a large double window that bathes the room in natural light. Two more bedrooms plus a bathroom cluster together on the left. One of these rooms could be used as a home office or hobby room, if desired. The large linen closet in the hallway is convenient to all three rooms. Laundry appliances are handy but out of sight, in a pass-through utility room that connects the Keizer’s kitchen to the garage. A review plan of the Keizer 30-230, including floor plans, elevations, section and artist’s conception, can be purchased for $25 by phone, mail or online. Add $5 for shipping and handling.

Tapping in to hidden space: renovate instead of expand BY JENNIFER V. HUGHES The Record
HACKENSACK, N.J. — When it comes to renovation projects, contractors say homeowners often don’t — pardon the pun — think outside the box. Want a closet? You can steal some space from a neighboring room. Want a room? You can repurpose that little-used closet into something more practical. When your contractor takes a peek behind your walls, you might be surprised to find you have usable space you never knew existed. A savvy contractor often can come up with an innovative solution for home design and construction problems. “People sort of get tunnel vision,” said Richard Graniere, owner of Wayne, N.J.-based Advantage Contracting. “They work in the existing space instead of working within the outside perimeters of the house. They get blinded by the walls.” One of the easiest ways to repurpose space is to take down nonload-bearing walls, and Graniere said most walls in your home are nonload bearing. Even a load-bearing wall can be removed, but it requires support beams to be erected in its place. “You can really open things up,” he said. The contractor Dominic Mangiarelli recalls the case about four years ago of a woman who asked him to renovate a bathroom, but also talked about how much she wanted more closet space for her fivebedroom Colonial in Livingston, N.J. In the process of the renovation, Mangiarelli

had to take down a wall between the bathroom and the hallway. In the middle, he discovered a cavity between a chimney and the hallway wall. “It was small, only about 18 inches by 18 inches, but to her it was a gold mine,” he said. Mangiarelli carved out the space for a linen closet in that cavity. A custom door for such a small size would be very expensive, but Mangiarelli came up with a novel idea: He used one panel of a bifold door. A little paint and spackle and a carpet remnant completed the job. “She was just as excited about that closet as she was about the weeks of work I put into the bathroom,” Mangiarelli said with a laugh. Since then, Mangiarelli has done the hidden-closet trick at least two more times. He recalled another “happy surprise,” when he was working with a woman on a bathroom renovation. She wanted to get rid of her bathtub to gain some more space and go with just a shower stall. Mangiarelli advised against it, knowing it would bump down her eventual resale value. In-
stead, he realized that he could swipe some space from an L-shaped closetchanging room that abutted the bathroom. “She wasn’t using the space in the closet, and it really helped the bathroom,” he said. He kept the tub, added the stall shower and made the client happy. “There are always ways to find space,” he said. Shelia Manigault could read between the lines of her house. During a large renovation project on her Washington Township, N.J., home, she knew her family no longer needed the walk-in hallway closet upstairs. Instead, Manigault and her contractor, Glen Lumia, owner of Creative Design Construction and Remodeling, decided to turn the space into a computer-homework nook for her kids. One of the closet’s walls abuts the staircase. They decided to cut a window-size hole in that wall to make the space more airy. “I wanted them to have a little corner to go study and sit on the computer and still not be in their bedrooms,” she said.

Q: I own an investment house and already refinanced through the government’s Home Affordable Refinance Program. Still, the house is worth much less than what I owe on the mortgage, and I’m not eligible to refinance again through the government program. The rent is just enough to cover the mortgage and association dues. I really have no hardship, but I feel stuck. Short of walking

away, what are my options? A: Investing in anything carries risk. I have several shares of Facebook that I probably will grow old with. In your case, it doesn’t sound as if you can escape without taking a financial hit. But you do have options that can help minimize your loss. First, you can keep renting the property. By doing this, your mortgage is slowly getting paid off, and the house is less and less “underwater” with every passing season. Eventually, you will regain equity in the house. If you do not want to take the long-term view on this, you can try to complete a short sale while still making the payments.
This will be difficult to do, especially with a tenant in place, but it may work out with a little luck. Walking away is the worst option, in my opinion, because the lender will foreclose and likely chase you down for the amount you owe on the mortgage. Q: Is it possible for my wife to buy a house without involving me as long as she can qualify for the loan by herself? A: Yes. But if this house is going to be your primary residence, you may need to sign some of the collateral documents, even if you are not on the loan. Gary M.
