Nearly 80% of prospective homebuyers are willing to adjust their home buying plans, getting creative to achieve homeownership in 2024 PRNewswire

DENVER (Jan. 23) – From purchasing multi-family properties to co-owning with friends and family, prospective buyers are willing to get creative to become homeowners in the next 12 months, new data reveals. In a consumer survey, RE/MAX, showcases Americans’ plans for achieving homeownership in 2024. The housing market has experienced a few years of recordhigh demand and historically low interest rates. As market conditions continue to evolve, many buyers have been forced to consider other options. The survey found that nearly 80% of prospective homebuyers are considering adjusting their homebuying plans. “Affordability remains a key concern for homebuyers as home prices, interest rates and inventory continue to fluctuate,” shared Nick Bailey, President and CEO of RE/MAX, LLC. “Despite today’s economic environment, it’s clear that homeownership is still a priority for many and the results of our survey prove that buyers are willing to go outside their comfort zone to reach their goal.” Key survey findings include: Current market conditions continue to impact buyers

Fluctuating market conditions and the uncertain rate environment continue to impact homebuyers’ plans. Many are considering creative ways to break into the housing market. Forty-three percent of respondents have considered both other property types (fixer-upper, foreclosure, or tiny home) and financing options (borrowing from friends and family, purchasing with a down payment of less than 20% or paying with all cash). Fifty-six percent of respondents said they would consider purchasing a fixer-upper in need of remodeling, either for cosmetic or structural

A recent survey found that nearly 80% of prospective homebuyers are considering adjusting their home buying plans.

reasons. Thirty-four percent of respondents would consider purchasing with a down payment of less than 20%. Of note, more than nine in 10 respondents were somewhat or very likely to discuss their alternative options with a real estate agent.

affordability. Of the 34% of prospective homebuyers considering borrowing with a down payment of less than 20%: More than 75% would do so because it’s what they can comfortably afford. Half would expect to make a down payment of 10% or less. Fifty-seven percent of respondents who indicated they would purchase a condo, attached home, or townhouse would do so to achieve lower maintenance costs. Respondents also want to make a home uniquely theirs. Of those who reported they would consider purchasing a fixer-upper, nearly 70% would do so to allow them to start with a clean slate. Twenty-eight percent of these respondents are willing to pay $30,000-$50,000 for repairs and renovations, with only 10% saying they’d spend upwards of $90,000. A majority said they’re willing to spend less than $70,000, with 23% saying $50,000-$70,000 is their limit, and 25% indicating their sweet spot is $10,000-$30,000.

Affordability is the main priority

Buyers are turning to friends and family for help

Affordability remains top-of-mind, and homebuyers are willing to explore other property types and financing options to achieve it. Seventy-three percent of those who indicated they would consider purchasing a fixer-upper wanted the chance to purchase a home at a lower listing price. More than a quarter of consumers indicated they would consider purchasing a multi-family home, defined as a property occupied by the owner and additional nonowner tenants. Half of them would do so to split the cost of monthly mortgage payments. Thirteen percent of prospective homebuyers reported they’d be willing to consider a super commute, buying a home 2+ hours from where they work, for more

Buyers aren’t shying away from asking for help on the path to homeownership. 27.7% of respondents would consider purchasing a home with a friend or family member. Seventeen percent of prospective homebuyers are willing to ask for help from friends and family when purchasing a home (funds for down payments, co-signing loans, etc.). To review additional results from the survey, visit remax.news.com. Methodology: Data is based on a survey conducted in partnership with Pollfish and fielded October 16, 2023 among 1,000 men and women in the U.S. between the ages 18-54+, who plan to purchase a home in the next 12 months.

How to save money when you buy a home

If you’re considering buying a home, do yourself a favor and stop looking at homes for sale online and take some steps to ensure you save money on the purchase. ROB Sure, it takes a PROCTOR little time and effort but the payoff may just be a lower monthly house payment.

If you hope to be able to afford a decent home with a comfortable mortgage payment, your first step is to raise your credit score.

FICO scores (the company that most lenders use to obtain credit scores) range from 300 (the worst) to 850 (the best) and a score between 750 and 850 is considered excellent. If your score falls between 700 and 749 it is considered “good.” Is your score between 650 and 699? Then you have “fair,” credit, according to most lenders. Poor

Sellers, are you getting what you expect from your listing agent? Most of you are, but certainly not everyone is. I know this from searching for properties through the MLS. All too often details are lacking—indicative of a remote and unmotivated agent. In your listing are all the utilities defined? Are room dimensions and floor coverings posted? Are the photographs in focus and explanatory? Are they captioned? Are there typos in the copy?

RETIRE RIGHT

Ongoing improvements and safeguards Reverse mortgages have been around since 1988 and there have been dozens and dozens of revisions and improvements over the last 35+ GABE years. Some of BODNER the best and most significant changes have just occurred in the last 10 years. In fact, I personally did not feel reverse mortgages were safe and I did not recommend reverse mortgages to my clients until 2017. It was not until the changes that occurred in 2014 and 2016 that HUD (Housing Urban Development) made two of the largest changes that made reverse mortgages better and safer for homeowners than ever before. The changes in 2014 were designed to protect younger spouses, and the rule changes in 2016 were designed to help ensure homeowners could afford their ongoing housing

expenses and ultimately reduce the risk of default. Then the Marshall Fire occurred on December 30, 2021. It was around 14 months later, a homeowner in Superior who lost his home in the fire, was being threatened with foreclosure by his reverse mortgage company. Fortunately, this homeowner and his family got in touch with the right people and they were able to get the attention of Boulder County Treasurer Paul Weissmann, local news reporter Shawn Boyd, and State Representative Kyle Brown. Around three months later in June of 2023, Rep. Kyle Brown was instrumental in helping to get a new law passed in Colorado to further protect homeowners with reverse mortgages. The law that was passed in 2023 was House Bill 23-1266 (HB 1266). This new law suspends a reverse mortgage from the repayment requirement when a “force majeure*” (a natural disaster or act of war) renders the subject property uninhabitable as a principal residence. This law went into effect immediately.

•

So, let’s back up a few steps. A reverse mortgage is a type of mortgage that does not require a homeowner to make any monthly mortgage payments of principal or interest (they must still pay property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and HOA dues). In fact, the homeowner does not need to repay the reverse mortgage until a maturity event occurs. A maturity event is typically one of the following: • • •

The last surviving borrower sells or conveys the title of the home. The last surviving borrower passes away. Or the property is no longer maintained as the borrower’s principal residence.

This new law states that a temporary absence from the home does not cause the reverse mortgage to become due and payable if the temporary absence is a result of a natural disaster or other force majeure, and the homeowner does all of the following:

•

The borrower is engaged in repairing the home with the intent to reoccupy the home as a principal residence or to sell the home. The borrower stays in communication with the lender and responds to inquiries while the home is being repaired. The borrower complies with all other terms and conditions of the reverse mortgage.

Therefore, this new law has once again made reverse mortgages even safer for homeowners as global warming and climate change are keeping us all on our toes with more natural disasters like floods, fires tornados, and severe weather than we have historically seen.

2024 Trends: Embracing Wellness Spaces for Healthy Living

rom home design to wellnessinspired communities, the trend for improving our wellness is TOM flourishing. The KALINSKI terms wellness architecture and wellness communities are the buzz these days. These design approaches can enhance health and longevity, which resonates strongly with aging baby boomers and health-conscious Generation Z and millennials. A recent 2023 survey by Mindbody reveals a telling trend: Gen Z and millennials spend more on wellness than other generations, and over half of the baby boomers prioritize wellness more than ever. This shift signifies a broader societal movement towards valuing healthy aging and longevity, notes plunge.com. Living a wellness-oriented lifestyle is almost second nature for residents of Boulder County and surrounding areas. The defining traits of wellness communities – focusing on physical and mental health, regular exercise, and group activities – have much in common with our everyday reality. Critical features of wellness communities include walking, hiking and bike riding trails and community gardens, in addition to tennis and pickleball courts, pools and game rooms, reports Realtor.com. Residents of these communities engage with these activities regularly, much like Colorado residents who make getting out onto the trials a regular part of their daily living. With over 120 miles of trails outside our front door, it’s easy to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Our home design is also being integrated into the wellness trend. Dubbed “wellness architecture,”

A recent 2023 survey by Mindbody reveals a telling trend: Gen Z and millennials spend more on wellness than other generations, and over half of the baby boomers prioritize wellness more than ever.

this design philosophy integrates elements that enhance health and longevity within our homes. Wellness architecture can be a fullscale makeover, but more minor, easier changes can be made. These might include a standing desk, a built-in compost bin, or opting for paint and other materials with low or no volatile organic compounds, also known as VOCs. VOCs are found in various building and home improvement materials like paint, but because they’re so caustic, manufacturers have started creating low- and no-VOC paint, according to Realtor.com. Your kitchen offers ideal opportunities for health-inspired upgrades. Switching to an induction cooktop, for instance, provides a safer, faster, and more energyefficient cooking experience. Handsfree faucets are another innovative addition, reducing germ spread while saving water and simplifying cooking tasks. Bathrooms, too, are being

transformed into personal wellness sanctuaries. Soaking tubs, steam showers, and saunas are becoming increasingly popular for at-home self-care. The interest in cold plunging, or dipping briefly into cold water or ice baths, is growing. Studies show benefits ranging from a strengthened immune system and reduced muscle soreness to improved mental health and supporting fat loss, reports Plunge.com. If cold plunging leaves you, well – cold – a warm soak in your bath, hot tub or steam shower offers equally beneficial relaxation and stress relief. Saunas also offer physical and mental health benefits, including stress reduction, detoxification, skin health, physical wellness and mental clarity, according to plunge.com. With a priority on fitness, wellness architecture encourages homeowners to create a place for indoor exercise, whether an entire room with workout equipment or a simple, designated yoga space or

weight-lifting corner. This surge in wellness-focused living spaces is a reflection of a larger trend, where personal health and well-being are becoming central to our lifestyle choices.

REAL ESTATE

Variations of 1031 Real Estate Exchanges When people hear the term “1031 Exchange,” they often perceive it as challenging due to the assumption that finding a direct exchange DUANE partner might DUGGAN be difficult. However, Section 1031 of the tax code, established by the IRS, provides specific guidelines for implementing a real estate 1031 Exchange. If you own investment real estate and aim to advance your position on the investment ladder, a 1031 Exchange could be an ideal strategy. This exchange enables you to sustain your real estate investment while postponing taxes on any gains, facilitating faster progression on the investment ladder. By deferring taxes during the exchange to a larger property, you enhance the velocity of your money and foster accelerated investment growth. This initial form of a 1031 Exchange is referred to as a Forward Exchange. What is a 1031 Exchange?

A 1031 Exchange is a transaction where the IRS allows you to sell a real estate investment, not your personal residence, and replace it with another, without paying tax on the gain of the first property at the time of sale. This tax concept allows you to keep trading up without having to write a check to the government each time you trade up. Sometimes these exchanges are called “tax-free” but they are actually “tax deferred”. Tax is finally paid when you no longer want to be a real estate investor and are ready to “cash out”. If the property is passed on to the heirs of the investor it would be subject to the estate tax rules at the time of death. To qualify for a 1031 Exchange there is a list of requirements, and most are easy to comply with. General Rules for a 1031 Exchange

The current rule reads that upon closing the sale of the first property, the owner has 45 days to locate the exchange property and 180 days to

If you own investment real estate and aim to advance your position on the investment ladder, a 1031 Exchange could be an ideal strategy.

close on it. Therefore, it is wise to talk with both your CPA and your Realtor® before selling and closing on your property. If 45 days after the closing of the sale of your first property, you don’t have an exchange property selected, your exchange will be disallowed and tax will be due. That 45 days can pass very quickly. The “Like Kind” rule of section 1031 of the code states that the properties exchanged must be “like-kind”. This simply means that the investment must continue in real estate. For example, if you own vacant land, you can exchange it for an improved income-producing property such as an apartment building or an office building. It doesn’t have to be a land-for-land or condo-for-condo exchange. Must be Qualifying Property

Must be a qualifying property. Qualifying property is property held for investment or used in a taxpayer’s

trade or business. Any “boot” received will be taxable. Boot is any property that is not “like-kind”. If the seller desires some cash or debt reduction this is okay as long as the seller realizes some tax will be due. You don’t want to receive any boot if you want the transaction to be 100% tax deferred. A rule of thumb to defer taxes is to always replace the exchange property with one of equal or greater value and debt. You should bring cash to the closing of the exchange property to cover charges, that are not transaction costs, such as utility escrows, rent pro-rations, etc. An Exchange Intermediary must be used to hold the exchange funds from the closing of the old property. The Exchange intermediary

In the typical exchange, you will be selling a property, which you have been holding for investment. According to the IRS rules you cannot touch the money that comes

from the closing of your former property. You need to hire what is called an exchange intermediary. The intermediary will charge a fee for completing the exchange agreement and all the necessary paperwork. The intermediary will hold your cash proceeds until you are ready to close on the replacement investment property. The Exchange Agreement

The agreement between the investor and the Exchange Intermediary contains an assignment of the contract to the intermediary. It allows the intermediary to hold the funds until the next closing. If the investor were to take receipt of the funds, a taxable event would occur. The deadlines for the identification and closing of property will be specified. It will allow the intermediary to disburse exchange funds to purchase the replacement property.

FEBRUARY 2-3, 2024

ATHOMECOLORADO.COM

The Reverse Exchange: The Opposite of a Forward Exchange!

The IRS also allows what is known as a reverse exchange. In this case, the replacement property is purchased—through the Exchange Intermediary—prior to the first property being sold. The Intermediary takes title to the property and holds it until the investor can find a buyer for the first property. After the replacement property is purchased, the investor has 45 days to identify the property that will be relinquished, and 180 days from the closing of the replacement property, to close on the property being relinquished. The reverse exchange creates some financing issues since lenders don’t like to lend money to the intermediary. Therefore, the investor typically needs to have the cash available to purchase the replacement property or have a line of credit arranged. The fees involved are also more expensive than for a Forward Exchange. This is an extremely useful

tool in a hot market where the seller of a replacement property will not wait for you to sell your old property. Simultaneous Exchange

This is an exchange when the relinquished property and the replacement property closings both occur on the same day. An exchange like this is amazing, if you can get real estate owners lined up who literally are going to exchange their property. Most exchanges are accomplished using the Delayed Exchange rules. Delayed Exchange

This is the typical exchange where the taxpayer has 45 days after closing the relinquished property to identify the replacement property and 180 days to get it closed. Construction Exchange

A construction exchange would be when you sell your first property, and for example, exchange it for a piece of raw ground and use part of the proceeds to buy the land and then

use the remainder to build structures. Improvement Exchange

This is an exchange in which the taxpayer needs to enhance the property to create adequate value to close the exchange without creating a tax liability. Enough of the improvements would need to be done before the 180 days have passed to equalize the exchange. Consolidation Exchanges

Let’s say that you have been investing in real estate by buying 1 rental home every 2 years for twenty years. You now have 10 rental homes and you are ready to make your real estate investment more efficient. You decide to exchange those 10 rental homes for a 20-unit apartment building. This is known as a consolidation Exchange. Diversification Exchanges

This is going the opposite direction from a Consolidation Exchange. For example, you own a 20-unit

building that has been hit twice by a hurricane. As a result, you decide to exchange it for 10 rental homes in various locations across the country to spread out the risk. Check it out

This was a brief overview of the 1031 Exchange concept. There are many other details about a 1031 Exchange that you need to review and consult with your tax professional to determine what works best for you.

DESIGN RECIPES

Finished basements By Cathy Hobbs Tribune News Service (TNS)

•

What will the construction cost per square foot?

In new construction it is common for a builder to deliver a newly constructed home with an unfinished basement. The cost to the new homeowner can vary from a few thousand dollars to considerably more depending on how and to what level the basement is finished. Before deciding on whether to invest monies to finish a home’s basement there are several factors to consider.

•

Will it add value to the home?

•

How will the construction/ renovation impact the home’s resale value?

To finish or not to finish?

To finish or not finish a home’s basement is an important question. In deciding whether to make the investment, consider the following questions: •

Once finished how will the space be used?

•

Will the space be utilized daily or occasionally?

Popular finished basement features

With an open space to design and a blank slate, there are a number of options as it relates to the design possibilities. Depending on your space, you may also be able to combine spaces or divide your basement layout into zones allowing for various activities to take place in the finished space.
