Builder David Odom has packed a lot into 1,900 square feet. Features include elegant light fixtures; granite countertops in the kitchen with cabinets sporting an old-fashioned crackle-paint finish; soaring 10-foot ceilings throughout; and a walk-in shower and oversize closet in the master bedroom. Odom, 39, has pulled out all the stops for the home at 13441 Vine Cross Court, the featured home in this year’s Southwest OKC Showcase of Homes, which runs through July 31. The home is in The Villas, an enclave of Briarwood Creek addition, north of SW 134 west of Santa Fe Avenue. The home tour, a joint effort with the Moore Home Builders Association, features 39 homes in 18 neighborhoods, said builder Aaron Tatum, chairman. The homes will be open free to the public from 1 to 7 p.m. each day. Tatum, 47, and Odom share a background in building larger homes, $300,000 and up, but they have followed the market to less-expensive designs. These

Lawsuit aims to end homeowner credit freeze WASHINGTON — Picture this nightmare financial scenario: You’ve taken out a $150,000 home-equity credit line to remodel your house. You’ve already pulled out thousands to pay contractors and owe thousands more, when suddenly you get a curt letter from the bank. Effective yesterday, it says, we’ve shut down access to your credit line. Although we haven’t physically appraised your property, an automated valuation indicates it is now worth significantly less than when we approved your application. If you wish to hire an appraiser, chosen by us but at your expense, you can appeal our decision. You’re in shock. You can’t pay bills you’ve already contracted for, and you can’t touch the money you confidently believed

you had. Plus, you know that house prices in your area have been relatively stable since you took out the credit line. How could a bank effectively devalue your real estate using nothing more than a computer program? Welcome to the world of what class-action attorneys estimate to be massive numbers of homeowners — 1 million customers at one national bank alone — who had their credit lines reduced, frozen or canceled without appraisals during 2009 in the tense months follow-
ing the near-collapse of the capital marketplace. A federal district court in Chicago has given the green light to clients of JP Morgan Chase Bank to proceed with a consolidated suit alleging that their equity lines were yanked or reduced illegally, costing them billions of dollars in lost borrowing power. Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer rejected the bank’s motion to dismiss the case, clearing the way for a possible giant class action. The litigation pulls together eight separate suits seeking class certification filed by homeowners in California, Minnesota, Illinois, Texas, Arizona and Ohio. It is considered a bellwether test of the rights homeowners enjoy under the Truth in Lending Act and state consumer protection statutes when they take out equity
lines of credit.
Disputed methods But it also shines light on the controversial computerized tools many lenders use to make quick, inexpensive assessments of property values in lieu of more costly appraisals. Suits on similar grounds are pending against other major lenders, including Wells Fargo, GMAC Mortgage and Citibank, according to attorneys. The plaintiffs’ lawyers not only are challenging JP Morgan Chase’s legal right to rescind or limit credit lines without adequate documentation that property values have dropped “significantly” — as required by the truth in lending law — but also are mounting a side attack against automated valuation models (AVMs) that they claim are frequently
inaccurate and unreliable. Steven Lezell Woodrow, a partner with Edelson McGuire LLC, the Chicago law firm representing the plaintiffs, said in an interview that the computer valuations used by JP Morgan Chase were found to be “grossly in error,” based on subsequent physical appraisals. A spokesman for JP Morgan Chase, Tom Kelly, said the bank does not comment on ongoing litigation. However, the bank’s filings in court argued that federal law does not specify the type of valuation technique lenders may use in reviewing equity line collateral, and that the homeowners did not demonstrate that the automated valuation models were incorrect.

Amenities, access Odom said he noticed the trend developing in the middle of the past decade. “People are wanting a more affordable house but with more features in it,” he said. “They want all the nicer things, but they still have to have it at a certain price point.” Tatum said some amenities have become more affordable, too. The avalanche of home and garden magazines and television shows has opened doors. Tatum said consumers “have much more access to styles and trends now than they ever have.” Meanwhile, southwest Oklahoma City has seen its share of growth over the past five years, Tatum said, drawing in young professionals eyeing its proximity to just about everything that matters to them. “They want to be close to Norman,” he said. “They’re close to downtown (Oklahoma City), close to the highway, Moore, airport — all these things that are real important to them. It’s a real neat position to be in.”
Striving for success For his part, Odom said he wanted to try something different for The Villas, the gated enclave where he built his feature home. Briarwood Creek, developed by his father, P.B. Odom III, wraps around the development, which David Odom said will ultimately consist of 18 homes staggered along a curved cul-de-sac. They’re smaller homes, but not patio homes, each overlooking a good-size backyard. “It’s an experiment,” David Odom said. “Once it’s all said and done, we’ll have a really unique look and feel to it all.” He said his grandfather, Paul B. Odom Jr., started the showcase in the mid-1960s, “and it’s always been a successful show, a very successful show.” There’s a lot at stake in this year’s Southwest OKC Showcase. Not only does it give area builders a chance to show off their work, but proceeds from the sale of the feature house go toward the charitable organizations and programs the association supports. It doesn’t come easy, Odom said, with builders, subcontractors and vendors working feverishly to get everything ready. “I want to say thank you to all our guys who have helped us here,” he said. “It’s been a hard, strong push to get it done, and it takes everybody.” Workers often crush two weeks worth of work into two days, he said. “The best I heard it, as one guy put it, ‘It’s a million-piece puzzle put together by 500 imperfect people,’ ” he said.

Businessman buys Wright’s Ennis House BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
LOS ANGELES — Billionaire Ron Burkle has snapped up Frank Lloyd Wright’s landmark Ennis House at the relative bargain price of about $4.5 million, the building’s sellers said. Ennis House Foundation chairwoman Marla Felber said Burkle, a supermarket tycoon, would continue rehabilitating the 1924 concrete-block home, on which the foundation had already spent $6.5 million for repairs. “Mr. Burkle has a track record of preserving important historic homes, and we know he’ll be an excellent steward of the Ennis House,” Felber said in a release announcing the sale of the structure, the last and largest of four homes Wright designed in an experimental “textile block” style. Inspired by Mayan ruins in Uxmal, Mexico, the 6,000-square-foot estate was built from 27,000 blocks featuring 24 design variations and has breathtaking views of the Hollywood Hills. It has been featured in several movies, including “Blade Runner,” “House on Haunted Hill” and “Grand Canyon.” The house, which sits on a hilltop in the Los Feliz

Study says people get cozy with curvy forms, shapes BY KIM PALMER Star Tribune (Minneapolis)
Want guests to feel more at home in your home? Add a big round chair or a circular rug or ottoman. People react more positively to, and prefer to socialize in, spaces filled with curvy forms and shapes, as opposed to rectangles, according to a new study from Oregon State University. “Curvilinear forms create warmth,” said Sibel Dazkir, a doctoral student in design and human environment, who conducted the study. “They’re associated with organic forms found in nature.” In the study, more than 100 undergraduate students viewed four computerdrafted room interiors and rated how each made them feel, Dazkir said. Two of the rooms contained rounded furniture, while the other two had rectangular furniture arranged the same way. The rooms were viewable only in gray scale, to avoid other influences, such as color and texture, Dazkir said.
Students found the all-gray rooms boring, but rated the curvilinear rooms significantly higher in pleasure and approachability (how much time they’d like to spend in the room and how sociable it made them feel). Participants stated that the curvy rooms made them feel happier, more hopeful, comfortable and relaxed than the sharp-angled rooms, according to Dazkir. The study is believed to be the first to assess the impact of form in interior environments, according to Marilyn Read, associate professor at Oregon State and chairman of Dazkir’s thesis committee. Previous research has focused on the impact of form in the design of individual products, such as cars. “We want people to realize that simple changes, such as adding curvilinear form, in your home or office, can make a big difference about how you feel in your environment,” Read said. The study will be published in the journal Environment and Behavior. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE INFORMATION SERVICES

O. Brown, the last private owner, bought the estate for $119,000 and made extensive repairs. He donated the property in 1980 to the group that would become the Ennis House
Foundation. The group listed the home for sale at $15 million about two years ago after deciding that private ownership was the best way to assure the structure’s
preservation. It later lowered the list price to $5.9 million. The foundation estimated when the home was first listed for sale that it would need up to $7 million in additional renovations to return it to its original state. As part of his purchase agreement, Burkle is obliged to offer some form of public access to the building a minimum of 12 days per year, Felber said. The requirement applies to future owners of the home as well.

Price, presentation make condo more salable Just more than a year ago, a 62-year-old federal contractor from Virginia met the love of his life, a receptionist of the same age. The couple soon married and now they want to retire in Florida. There’s just one catch: They can’t move until he sells his condo. And that’s proving quite a feat. “There’s quite a bit of skittishness in the country now, which affects condos and home sales in general. The reality is people just don’t feel great about this current economy and the unemployment numbers,” said Eric Tyson, a personal finance expert and coauthor of “House Selling for Dummies.” Still, he said there’s reason for optimism among would-be condo sellers. “Current demographic trends favor condos in many ways, not only for young buyers who need well-priced housing but also for older boomers
Ellen James Martin SMART MOVES close to retirement who are rattling around in a big house with too much space and too many upkeep headaches,” Tyson said. Despite these positives, in many areas, the owners of condo-apartments still find it hard to sell. If this is your situation, these pointers could be helpful: I Scope out your competition. Has your condo languished on the market unsold for a lengthy period? If that’s the case, Sid Davis, a real estate broker and author of “A Survival Guide to Selling a Home,” suggests you play “snoopy neighbor” and check out rival sellers to see if they’re offering
more (or less) than you. Your listing agent may be willing to help you gather intelligence on your competitors by making appointments to show you other local For Sale units, or by screening other condos and then reporting back to you. Davis said this can help you better analyze the reasons your condo is proving hard to sell. The answer may be that in terms of price or condition, you’re not competitive with rival units and need to make adjustments. I Set your price a notch below your condo’s realistic market value. While surveying other For Sale units, you should pay extra attention to your competitors’ pricing, said Ashley Richardson, a longtime real estate agent affiliated with the Council of Residential Specialists (www.crs.com). Before deciding whether to drop the price on your unsold condo, she
suggests you ask your listing agent to review very recent sales for comparable units in the same or nearby buildings. “Make sure that foreclosures are included in the comparisons,” she said. Once you’ve examined all the comparable sales data, try to pinpoint the current market value of your property. From that level, Richardson recommends you consider lowering your price by 3 to 5 percent. I Make your condo clear and spotless. A cluttered or dirty home is such a sale stopper for home sellers because, Davis said, every purchaser hopes that their new place will provide a clean slate. Because so few sellers go on the market with a property that’s extremely clean and wholly free of clutter, making your place that way can give you a competitive edge. Even if you must hire a profes-
Perry, Brand buy Sunset Strip compound Left: Actor Ashton Kutcher has listed his Los Angeles “bachelor pad that never was" for $2.35 million.
BY LAUREN BEALE Los Angeles Times
LOS ANGELES — Singer Katy Perry and comic actor Russell Brand have bought a Sunset Strip-area compound from former National Lampoon Chief Executive Daniel Laikin for $6.5 million, the Multiple Listing Service shows. Perry and Brand are selling their Los Feliz compound, a $3,395,000 listing that was on the market in May for just nine days before entering escrow. The gated Mediterranean-style house they acquired was built in 1925 and sits on nearly 3 acres with a guesthouse and swimming pool. It features a baronial stone foyer with sweeping staircase, stained-glass windows and a carved fireplace mantel in the living room, a pub, a study and a media room. Including a four-room master suite, two guest suites and staff quarters, the house has seven bedrooms and nine bathrooms. Perry, 26, is on a ninemonth California Dreams tour, which follows her 2010 album, “Teenage Dream.” Brand, 36, starred in this year’s remake of “Arthur” and is filming “Rock of Ages,” which is to be released next year. The couple, who own another residence in New York, were married in October.

Yukon Realtors offer homebuyers seminar FROM STAFF REPORTS
YUKON — Realtors Trent Rhodes and Cheryl Cupps of Century 21 Clinkenbeard Group, along with representatives from Bank of Commerce and First American Title & Trust, will present a free homebuyer seminar from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 11, in the lobby of the bank at NW 10 and Cornell. The seminar is designed to give potential first-time as well as repeat homebuyers information to make sound decisions regarding their financing options, the type of home that would best fit their needs, and a look at the overall process of buying a
home. “Knowledge is needed in order to make the decisions necessary to protect what is most likely the largest investment a person will ever make,” Rhodes said.

sional organizer, a cleaning crew, window washers and carpet cleaners, these expenditures could well merit the cost, he said. I Invest reasonable sums to upgrade your unit. If your condo is wellpriced and spotless yet still isn’t attracting offers, this could be the time to consider investing in a few key upgrades to catch the eye of prospective purchasers, Richardson said. Two relatively low-cost improvements that could make a major difference include the removal of dated wallpaper and the repainting of your unit. Beyond painting, other upgrades to your condo’s infrastructure could prove more costly and should be
carefully evaluated in advance. “If in your kitchen you have linoleum countertops and dated-looking appliances, for example, you might wish to replace them with granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances,” she said. Your listing agent should be able to help you assess whether such expensive upgrades could make a meaningful difference in promoting your sale. But if you decide to go forward with these expenditures, Richardson says you shouldn’t assume you can tack the cost of these upgrades onto your selling price.

Payne County home construction improves BY MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE INFORMATION SERVICES
STILLWATER — New data
released by the U.S. Census Bureau shows that while home construction is trending up, numbers are still down overall in Payne County when compared to pre-recession levels. In 2005, Payne County had 284 housing building permits for 338 housing units. Of those, 230 were for single-family homes and 54 for two-family homes. New home construction was valued at $52,656,580. Building permits peaked in 2006 when 294 permits were granted for 344 housing units. That included 247 single-family
The low-water mark for housing construction in Payne County came in 2009 when only 83 permits were issued for 93 housing units. homes, 44 two-family homes and three permits for either three- or fourfamily homes. The value of new home construction went down in 2006 to $47,691,230, with the average value of a new single-family home dropping from approximately $187,000 to $157,000. The low-water mark for housing construction in Payne County came in 2009 when only 83 permits were issued for 93
housing units. Of those, 79 were for single-family homes and nine were twofamily homes. Bucking the trend was the average value of single-family homes, which increased during the deepest parts of the recession. In 2008, only 125 singlefamily building permits were issued. The average value of a new single-family home was $203,000, up from 2006 and 2007 averages of $157,000 and $178,000, respectively.
Josh McKim, Stillwater Chamber of Commerce director of economic development, said that trend is not unusual for low periods of construction. “Margins for builders are much higher on a highend home,” McKim said. “It’s not necessarily a surprise that when you see the total volume decrease, you often see that (decrease more profoundly) in the moderate or affordable housing.” Because of that lower margin, he said builders would have to sell a larger volume of moderately priced homes and wouldn’t take on as many jobs if homebuyers were down. Additionally, he said builders speculate whether to build a house
Shower pans that leak can easily miss detection DEAR BARRY: After buying our home, we discovered a leak in the floor of our upstairs shower. The surprise came when water began dripping from the downstairs ceiling. Worse, we discovered the ceiling had previously been patched. This means the sellers must have known about the problem, a suspicion that has been confirmed by the next-door neighbor. When we had our home inspection, the inspector ran water for a while but not long enough to reveal the leak. Now we’re stuck with a repair cost of $1,500. The seller has moved out of state, and the home inspection report specifically disclaims shower pans. Do we have any recourse against the home inspector or the seller? Jason DEAR JASON: The sellers were apparently aware of the leaking shower pan but chose not
Barry Stone INSPECTOR’S IN THE HOUSE
to disclose it. On that basis, they appear to be in violation of the law and subject to legal consequences. Unfortunately, their residency in another state complicates your chances of bringing justice to bear. For clarification of the strengths or weaknesses of your position, you can seek the advice of an attorney, but a $1,500 claim probably does not warrant the investment of legal costs. Home inspectors typically perform their work in accordance with established industry protocol, as set forth by professional associations such as the American Society of Home Inspectors. Unfortunately, these stan-
dards do not include testing of shower pans. Evaluating the watertightness of a pan is generally done by pest control operators (commonly known as termite inspectors). This is because pest control operators also inspect for fungus infection, and moisture problems at showers can promote the growth of fungus. However, pest inspectors typically omit pan tests when showers are located upstairs. The reason for this exclusion is to avoid liability for ceiling damage if the pan leaks during the test. Thus, leaking shower pans often escape detection in the course of a real estate purchase. In many cases, unwitting buyers are unfairly saddled with the costs of repair. DEAR BARRY: The home we are buying is brand new, so we haven’t decided whether we should hire a home inspector. If we do hire someone, are there in-
spectors who specialize in inspection of new homes? Calvin DEAR CALVIN: All home inspectors inspect brand-new homes, but it is unlikely that any home inspectors limit their business exclusively to new construction. In short, the critical importance of inspecting brand-new homes cannot be overemphasized. It is an essential absolute for buyers of new homes. All brand-new homes have defects. It takes a qualified, experienced home inspector to identify the glitches. Once you have the report in hand, the builder makes the appropriate corrections. This is better than having someone else’s home inspector find the defects when you eventually sell the property, years from now, after the builder’s warranty has expired.

Stack of documents often goes unread at closings BY AL HEAVENS The Philadelphia Inquirer
PHILADELPHIA — So many documents, so few being read carefully or even at all — that sums up the typical closing of a house sale for a large number of buyers, real estate agents say. “I have not seen a buyer read every document at closing since the mortgage and title industry went beyond four pages,” said Philadelphia-area real-estate agent John Duffy. “If the lender, agent and title agents are doing their jobs, they should paraphrase each page, and ask the buyers if they have questions.” These documents provide critical information about the transaction that often comes as a surprise to consumers. There are two closings — one for the loan, the other for the house. Since you can’t have one without the other, first, the mortgage documents: I Truth-in-lending statement, which discloses the interest rate, annual percentage rate (APR), the amount of the purchase price you are financing and the total cost of the loan over its life — 15, 20, 30 years. Make sure what is in the statement and what you have been told, or think you’ve been told, are in agreement. I A separate written itemization of the amount financed, including any proceeds distributed directly to you; the amount credited to your account with the lender; anything the lender pays to others in your behalf, and who these others are, and prepaid finance charges, such as the amount of the points, or the cost of originating your mortgage (dollar amount). I The monthly payment letter will itemize the components of that check — or automatic deduction from your checking account — you provide to the lender. This includes the principal and interest, and, if you choose to escrow them, taxes and insurance. If you put down less than 20 percent, this is the spot you’ll likely see the monthly mortgage insurance premium you’ll be paying until you can have enough equity — verified by an appraiser — to not require it. I The promissory note, or simply, “the note.” When you sign this, you are promising to repay the loan to the lender in the time required. It also lists the penalties and
what the lender can do if you renege. I The mortgage. When you sign this, you let the lender place a lien on your property as security for repayment of the loan, allowing it to foreclose if you do not. I The Mortgage Servicing Disclosure Statement. There must be one of these, and if you do not see it, demand it. It tells you if the lender intends to service — collect the monthly payments — the loan or transfer it to another. Make sure you know when and where you should send your first and subsequent payments, and happens if you are late. Now the house closing, beginning with the “disclosure settlement statement,” or HUD-1, which itemizes all the closing costs and amounts. The lawyer or title person presiding at the closing will go over each item, meaning it’s time to stop daydreaming about paint colors for the master bath and listen. “If you are going to sleep through closing, make sure you set your alarm clock for the end, when you are reviewing the HUD-1,” said Philadelphia real estate agent Mark Wade, adding that this is the place where financial errors are typically made. I Pro-ration agreement. This details how the seller and the buyer will share costs during the month in which the closing falls. I The deed. The seller and buyer, whose names appear on this vehicle of property transfer, sign this document, sealing the deal. The deed should state the seller has the legal right to sell the house. I Name affidavit. You certify that the signature of the persons listed on the document are one and the same, and then you sign it, as your name would appear on all legal documents. I The title-search abstract, listing the record of all documents about your property. I Receipts. One will say the water bill has been paid. You sign to say “so I’ve been told.” The tax bill, electric bill, gas bill and the sewer bill receipts follow in succession. I An acknowledgement that you have seen all the reports — termite and the like — for the property. Duffy said it would help if the buyer were supplied with blank documents for viewing before closing.

While those numbers might not signal a complete recovery, McKim said there the chamber is monitoring other signs that the economy is improving. “Sales tax is trending upwards and unemployment is trending downward,” he said. “Those are both indicators that the economy is moving in the right direction.”

Front-gracing gables give welcoming look Somehow, front-facing gables have a way of giving a home a welcoming, open look, and that’s certainly true of the twostory Claredon. This traditional American countrystyle home has yet another inviting feature: a large front porch that spans the front and wraps around to the left. There’s room for a set of wicker or other outdoor furniture to enhance summer relaxation. Entering, you step into a vaulted foyer. Double doors on the right open into a den/ study/office with plenty of storage at the rear. This space could double as a guest room, if needed. A cased opening on the foyer’s left leads into a dining room, which links with the kitchen through a passageway with a pocket door. Vaulted ceilings expand the sense of volume in the great room and kitchen as well. These two areas are totally open to each other, bounded by the kitchen’s long, J-shaped island, which is rimmed with a
raised eating bar. A built-in desk fits neatly into a corner alcove at the end of the counter, near an atrium door that accesses the covered patio. The owners’ suite has direct patio access too, which would be handy should they decide to install a spa. Other amenities include oversize shower, dual vanity, private toilet and roomy walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms are upstairs, along with a large two-section bathroom, a storage room and a deep bonus room over the garage. The front bedroom is vaulted and has a walk-in closet. A powder room and good-size utility room are just off the great room. The utility room connects to the Claredon’s twocar garage. Next to this garage is another, much deeper, recreational vehicle garage. For a review plan, including scaled floor plans, elevations, section and artist’s conception, send $25 to Associated Designs, 1100 Jacobs Drive, Eugene, OR 97402. Please specify the Claredon 30-564 and include a return address when ordering. For more information, call (800) 634-0123.

Our question is: When Working in small sections, you this new drywall is installed, can rake the blown-in material what is the best way to reout of the way, remove the batts move the old drywall, without in that section, remove and having all the insulation fall replace the drywall, then reininto our living space? stall the batts, rake the blown-in A: Since you have batt inmaterial back into place, and sulation between the joists with proceed to the next section. This additional blown-in material on would obviously be a pretty
tedious operation. A better suggestion is to just leave the old drywall in place, and install a new layer over it. You can work your way around the room and re-screw the old drywall to stabilize it, then install new 5/8-inch material with longer screws that will penetrate through both layers. If the ceiling is too uneven to get a smooth finish by installing directly over it, then you might want to install wood furring strips over the old drywall, then install the new drywall directly to the furring. Install the wood furring perpendicular to the way the joists run, and use shims as necessary to get the furring even. With either method, since the old drywall is already taped to the walls in the corner, there would be no need to tape the new drywall to the walls. Instead, cover the wall/ceiling joint with crown molding, which will enhance the look of
the room and save you the time and labor needed to tape the corner joints. Q: I just read an article about using pressure-treated wood for decks. I believe it is illegal — at least in Los Angeles; it should be everywhere. To be pressure-treated, the wood is injected with poison. This makes it dangerous to have exposed. We are allowed to use it internally only (i.e., for studs in enclosed walls). If I remember the newspaper article correctly, a number of years ago someone made a swing/play set for their kids and one of the children chewed on the wood ... another possible Darwin Award. I have seen it used on trail fence rails in Laguna Hills, Calif. — hello, horses chew on wood! Or is there some “new” kind of pressure-treated wood that doesn’t pose this issue? A: Pressure-treated lumber used to be manufactured with
chromated copper arsenate (CCA). The arsenate is a form of arsenic, which is probably the poison to which you’re referring. However, there were concerns about the arsenic in the wood leaching into the surrounding soil, so in 2004 the Environmental Protection Agency and the wood-preserving industry jointly agreed to change the chemicals being used in the process. Today, the pressuretreated lumber and plywood available in local lumber yards is typically made with copper azole (CA-B), or with alkaline copper quaternary (ACQ), neither of which contain arsenic. While CCA-treated lumber is now used only for very specific and limited applications, I am not aware of any code-related restrictions on the use of the newer treated materials.

Foreclosures gone wrong can haunt owners BY RICK DAYSOG McClatchy News Service
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Kamal Sharma almost lost his house in a foreclosure auction. The funny thing is: He doesn’t even owe any money on it. Sharma’s story — an extreme case even in Sacramento’s chaotic real estate market — shows that lenders continue to make foreclosure mistakes despite extensive publicity and promises to fix problems, which include sloppy paperwork and communication breakdowns. “There are a lot of people that have been wrongly foreclosed upon,” said Kevin Stein, associate director of the San Franciscobased California Reinvestment Coalition. Sharma’s troubles started when he arrived at his West Sacramento house one day to find a foreclosure notice from the servicing arm of Bank of America taped to the front door. Sharma, 34, had paid $85,000 in cash for the three-bedroom home in March, using money from a settlement he received from a workplace accident in which he lost half of his left foot. He planned to rent the house out for income. After the foreclosure notice arrived, other curious things happened. A potential buyer came snooping around, and then a property management firm refused to list the house as a rental due to the foreclosure notice. Unable to reach Bank of
Kamal Sharma, left, and real estate agent Manny Toledo visit the house Sharma purchased in West Sacramento, Calif., as income property. Even though Sharma had paid cash, Bank of America listed the house in a foreclosure auction. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE PHOTO
America for answers, Sharma headed to West Sacramento City Hall on June 22, the day his house was scheduled for auction. That’s when the bank abruptly called off the sale just as buyers were lining up. Sharma still hasn’t heard anything directly from Bank of America. But in response to a McClatchy Newspapers inquiry, the bank apologized and attri-
buted the problem to a “data entry error” that restarted an old foreclosure action against the home’s previous owner. “I went through all of this mental stress,” Sharma said. “I put my heart and soul into this house.”
Two-track system Each year, more than 500,000 foreclosures are filed in Califor-
nia. The volume has overwhelmed back-office operations and loan workout teams. Bank of America and other lenders likely will have to pay billions of dollars to settle an investigation by states attorneys general into “robo-signing,” the practice of rubber-stamping foreclosures without actually reviewing homeowners’ loan documents.
Prompted by regulatory investigations and congressional hearings, lenders say they’ve taken steps to clean up their practices. But consumer advocates say mistakes still regularly occur. Earlier this year, the nonprofit California Reinvestment Coalition surveyed 55 foreclosure counselors around the state. Ninety-four percent said they had worked with clients who lost homes even though they had worked out a loan modification with a lender or were in the process of finalizing one. Applying for a loan modification does not stop the foreclosure process. Instead, lenders have set up a two-track system in which one arm of the company may be working with a distressed customer to modify the loan while another is trying to foreclose. Lack of communication has resulted in instances where homeowners who had already reached an agreement to modify a loan found that their homes had been auctioned off. Sharma said he and his real estate agent, Manny Toledo, spent weeks calling a 530 area code phone number listed on the foreclosure notice but never got a response. Sharma, who doesn’t work because of his disability, said he’s losing out on $1,300 in potential income each month because he hasn’t been able to rent his house. MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE INFORMATION SERVICES

Home offices are changing with technology BY ALAN J. HEAVENS The Philadelphia Inquirer
About 2 percent of U.S. workers — the self-employed and unpaid volunteers excluded — consider home their primary workplace, according to the Telework Research Network. It estimates that 20 million to 30 million people work from home at least one day a week.
PHILADELPHIA —
Remember when the “experts” said that most Americans would telecommute from home offices to work every day? Hasn’t happened, although ever-evolving technology has made the notion more viable. Think laptops, netbooks, printers, smartphones, and tablets, networked through a wireless router to a high-speed Internet connection. Thanks to wireless technology, you don’t even need a physical home office — although if you are counting on an incometax deduction, the Internal Revenue Service requires that space be dedicated to that purpose. Don’t need the deduction? Then “the home office is everywhere,” said Steve Melman, director of economic services at the National Association of Home Builders. About 2 percent of U.S. workers — the self-employed and unpaid volunteers excluded — consider home their primary workplace, according to the Telework Research Network. It estimates that 20 million to 30 million people work from home at least one day a week. That’s hardly everyone, though it is more than the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ 2001
figure of 19.5 million. Two additional factors have had a huge effect on the number of home offices: the flagging economy and an overall demand for affordability that has resulted from it. Members of the homebuilders’ group were surveyed at the end of 2010 about what new homes might look like in 2015, Melman said. The consensus: Homes will be smaller, and “people will be looking for real value, with the walk-in closet and the laundry room at the very top of the list of features.” Most future homebuyers (read: younger buyers) will use the portability of electronic devices to “make the most of less square footage.” That’s a far cry from the home-office-as-emergingtrend of the 1990s, when tele-
commuting depended on having a work space that could accommodate, in addition to desk and chair, a telephone, a desktop computer, a modem, a printer, a file cabinet and storage for floppy disks (remember those?). When the need for data speed overwhelmed standard wiring, Category 5, an advanced system providing Internet access at speeds 200 times faster, required owners of older homes to rip open walls to upgrade their service. Newly built homes had the less expensive advantage, until wireless technology leveled the playing field. Today, for about $60, a singleband wireless router allows you to create a building-wide network of computers, printers and other devices linked to a single Internet source — a cable modem.
Access to the router can be made secure within the network, so you can do online financial transactions safely. Some cablemodem providers offer free antivirus software that can be downloaded to each computer through the network. Every computer can be networked through a single printer, wireless or not. But all routers are not created equal, and online shopping is a good idea. An excellent guide can be found at www.firewallguide. com/wireless.htm. Most manufacturers offer free upgrades to their firmware, the internal programs that run these devices, so keep in touch with their websites. If you run a business from home, or take a lot of work home, you probably will want dedicated space somewhere — a quiet somewhere. Design the space for yourself, keeping the costs within a reasonable budget, rather than with resale in mind. In 2007, Remodeling magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value report said a home-office renovation would return 56.1 percent of your investment at sale time. This year, that was down to 45.8 percent. If you’ll be working for long periods in your home office, think ergonomically. A good source of information about fur-
niture and design is at www.safe computingtips.com/articles/ home-office-ergonomics.html. Lighting a home office is tricky. The American Lighting Association offers tips at www. americanlightingassoc.com/ Lighting-Your-Home/HomeOffice. aspx. You’ll need plenty of grounded electrical outlets and a surge protector for your equipment — one with a high joule rating (the higher the rating, the longer protection will last) — with phoneline and coaxial-cable jacks, too. Get a printer with copier, fax, and scanner functions. Choice of computer is up to you — shop for the best deal, warranty protection, and service guarantee. If you will be doing a lot of conferencing from your home office, a Web camera is a must. Depending on how much data are involved in your job, an external hard drive of 250 gigabytes or more should be weighed against online backup for a fee, as discussed in PC magazine at http://is.gd/XZr601. The problem with technology, of course, is that it evolves faster than our thinking about how to use it. “Remember, even the computer experts had no idea what to do with email,” Melman said.
