Spring Ahead

Life and

Homes

March is the month we “spring ahead”. At 2 a.m. on the second Sunday of every March, Congress says we’re supposed to set our clocks forward one hour ahead of standard time.

Oneida County NY, Edition Published By LifeandHomes, INC.

Not everyone embraces change, even when it’s mandated. Hawaii doesn’t follow Daylight Saving Time and neither do the territories of Puerto Rico, Virgin Island, Guam and American Samoa. Arizona and Indiana, on the other hand, straddle the fence. The Navajo Indian Reservation in Arizona DOES observe daylight savings time, the rest of Arizona doesn’t. The Eastern Time Zone section of Indiana doesn’t change their clocks but the rest of the state does.

Confused yet? Try figuring out what’s happening in real estate. Today’s news reported promising increases in new housing starts and existing home sales, followed by a story on massive job loss within the construction industry. So, exactly who is building the new houses? I read that a record number of homeowners have opted to invest in home improvement instead of selling. Try comparing that data to The National Association of Home Builder study reporting the remodeling market is continuing to deteriorate. Say what?

Based on what’s being reported, I’m not quite sure if the real estate market is springing ahead yet or not. To be honest, I’m not even sure I know exactly what time it is where you live. It’s a good bet, though, that warmer weather and the slow emergence of spring in the Northeast will bring an upswing in the housing marketing. We’re all rooting for it!

Pending Legislation May Make Loans

More Expensive If you’re planning on--or just dreaming aboutbuying a house, it may pay to hurry up. Although interest rates are currently low, in the not-toodistant future the costs of financing a home may be so high many consumers simply will not be able to afford it. That could happen if a piece of legislation before the U.S. Senate comes to fruition, warn people familiar with the situation.

The financial reform bill “Restoring American Financial Stability Act” includes something called a “risk-retention” provision. This would require all lenders to hold at least 10 percent of the “credit risk” for each loan they originate and ultimately sell off to investors. The idea is that this will prompt lenders to be more diligent in qualifying clients, as it forces them to have exposure to risk in the loans they write.

It’s also believed to mean lenders will have to have 10 percent of cash on hand for each and every loan they write.

“While I am sure our elected officials have good intentions, the unintended consequences of this legislation would be staggering,” said Scott Stern, chairman of the Community Mortgage Lenders of America, a national group dedicated to increasing competition and consumer choice in the mortgage industry. “In reality, what will happen is a mass closing of small community and regional lenders, who will simply not be able to carry the amount of cash required by the legislation. This is significant, as local lenders write nearly 40 percent of all mortgages.”

You can write your legislators to let them know that you oppose risk retention and limited choice at www.house.gov and www. senate.gov. (NAPSI)

Tame Your Tweets

You shred your mail, and protect your debit card, but did you know tweeting or posting information on FaceBook about your employment status, home foreclosures in your neighborhood, or other potentially sensitive information could impact your personal finances?

SmartMoney.com is reporting that lenders are starting to look at social networking sites, especially FaceBook, Twitter, and Linkdin to get information about their customers.

Under New Law On February 22, 2010, Amanda’s Law went into effect throughout the State of New York, requiring that all residences have carbon monoxide alarms installed on every level of a home where there is an area utilized for sleeping. The new legislation was introduced after the tragic story of 16-year-old Amanda Hansen who died from carbon monoxide poisoning while at a sleepover at her friend’s house.

Prior to Amanda’s Law, residential dwellings that were constructed or offered for sale after July 30, 2002, had to be updated with a carbon monoxide detector. Amanda’s law effectively removed the construction and sale provisions, and provided that all homes regardless of construction or sale date must be outfitted with a carbon monoxide detector. In addition, any two-family dwelling, dwelling accommodations located in a building owned as a condominium or cooperative in the State, or any multiple dwelling must have an operable carbon monoxide detector.

Such structures include, but are not limited to, a tenement, flat house, apartment, duplex, hotel, nursery school, fraternity/sorority, school dormitory, nursing home, or convalescent home.

L i f e and H o m e s

Here’s what you need to know: A company called RapLeaf.com is already providing lenders with data taken from customers’ FaceBook pages. It’s only a matter of time before more of these data scanning companies come on line.

So far, RapLeaf insists it’s only providing data for targeted marketing campaigns and that the information is not used to make lending decisions. But it’s anybody’s guess when information you post or tweet starts to affect your credit score.

Anything you post on the Internet is public information and there’s nothing illegal about lenders using it however they wish. Now, if a lender denies you a loan based on information taken from your FaceBook page, without disclosing the source, it could violate the Fair Credit Reporting Act. The bottom line is you have to be very careful about what you post or tweet. To their credit, RapLeaf.com does allow consumers to opt out of its database at www.rapleaf.com/ opt_out (Source: Crown.org)

Detectors Required

Lenders warn the net result could be a smaller pool of lenders, with those who remain forced to charge significantly higher rates to cover the cost of risk retention.

Many lenders, and consumers, are watching this one very closely.

Carbon Monoxide

Consider this: If a small community lender writes $100 million in loans, after only five years it will be asked to hold as much as $50 million in cash reserves--impossible for most lenders.

“I have to wonder if the government is familiar with the lending process. Lenders already retain the risk on the loans they write. If they do not meet the investors’ guidelines, the lender must buy that loan back,” Stern said.

Foreclosures May Top 20 Million

Foreclosures are likely to top 20-million homes in the U.S. if government officials don’t take action to lessen the impact of the foreclosure crisis, according to a report by Housing Predictor.

The real estate research firm was the first to forecast the foreclosure epidemic, triggering the worst economic turmoil since the Great Depression.

In a recent Housing Predictor survey nearly 1 in 3 mortgage holders say they will walk away from their homes if housing prices continue to fall. The action would leave bankers on the hook for trillions of dollars in unpaid mortgages and send the U.S. economy into a worsening financial crisis, resulting in the highest number of renters in the housing market in decades.

Consumers are saving more in light of the economic turmoil and home sales are improving in many especially hard hit areas of the country with the assistance of first time home buyers tax incentive.

Foreclosures compose the majority of home and condo sales nationally. Nearly 6-million additional Option Arm adjustable rate mortgages will reset through 2010 and more than three-quarters will not be able to be refinanced under current mortgage guidelines. As a consequence, millions of more homes will go into foreclosure and provide a growing inventory of property at bargain prices.

Scams

L i f e and H o m e s

■

The Consumer Tool Kit to Home Improvement cautions consumers to be cautious of the following common scams: Driveway Sealant Scam: Deeply discounted driveway services may use inferior products that wear away with a few months or after a few rainfalls. Ask what type of material is used and the method of application then do some research.

newsShorts Chimney Repair: This scam often begins with a cheap offer for cleaning gutters. Once the gutter work is performed, the contractor claims the chimney is in need of repair and may even go so far as to remove bricks and mortar from your chimney. Another popular scam is when a contractor claims there is a threat of carbon monoxide poisoning if the chimney is not repaired immediately. Always get a second opinion from a reputable contractor.

Roofing: Some contractors may use substandard materials and only after your roof leaks, possibly resulting in interior property damage, you realize you have been scammed. You should request that your contract have a hold-back clause where the final payment is withheld until 30 days after the completion of the project. This provides time for the roof work to withstand some weather patterns such as rain, wind, snow or ice.

falls on a weekend or holiday, no late penalty can be assessed if payment is received the next business day. Payments received by 5 p.m. must be credited the same day.

Additional Disclosure About Minimum Payments -Your credit card bill must disclose how long it will take to pay off the existing balance, and the total cost in interest fees, if you pay only the minimum amount due each month.

Consumers can call the CPB’s toll-free hotline, 1-800-697-1220, to ask questions about the new law and obtain further guidance, or can email their questions to creditcardstory@consumer.state.ny.us.

Credit Card Reform Enacted Effective February 2010, many unfair credit card industry practices were outlawed. The new protections are the latest phase of the federal Credit Card Accountability, Responsibility, and Disclosure Act. The most significant reforms include: Limits on Interest Rates Hikes During the First Year -- The interest rate on a new credit card cannot be increased during the first year, unless it’s a variable rate card, the “introductory rate” expires after a minimum of six months, or the cardholder is more than 60 days late in making a minimum payment.

Limits On “Penalty” Interest Rate Hikes -- If the interest rate is hiked because you were more than 60 days late in making a minimum payment, the old interest rate must be restored if you make all your payments on time during the first six months after the rate increase.

Fairer Payment Allocation -- If your card has more than one interest rate on balances, any amount you pay above the minimum payment must first be applied to the balance with the highest interest rate.

Clearer Due Date and Time -- Payments must be due on the same day each month. If the due date

Top 10 kitchen and bath trends for 2010 newsShorts

Does your kitchen or bathroom look like it’s stuck in a time warp? Then it might be time to update the most-used rooms in your home.

For inspiration, look no further than the National Kitchen and Bath Association (NKBA), which recently shared its top 2010 kitchen and bath trends.

To compile the findings and determine the latest kitchen and bath trends, the organization surveyed those members who designed a kitchen or bathroom during the last quarter of 2009. According to NKBA, the top 10 trends for 2010 are: 1. Shaker style kitchen design 2. Maple and alder cabinetry finishes 3. Quartz countertops 4. Pull-down/pull-out kitchen faucets 5. Polished chrome finishes 6. Under-counter refrigerator drawers 7. Dishwasher drawers for small loads 8. Marble vanity tops 9. Integrated sink tops, drop-in sinks, vessel sinks and pedestal sinks 10. Bronze and stainless steel finishes In the kitchen

Central New York

Making a big statement throughout the kitchen in 2010 is the addition of functional drawer appliances.

One such example, which has been specified by nearly a third of NKBA’s kitchen designers, is modern refrigeration technology. Turning convenience into a luxury, under-counter refrigerated drawers feature adjustable horizontal and vertical dividers to keep frequently used items close at hand. Perfect for the ultimate entertainer, refrigerated drawers are quite roomy, typically tall enough to store a 2-liter bottle and wide enough to hold items such as serving trays and pizza boxes.

L i f e and H o m e s

If you’re tired of running the dishwasher when it’s only half-full, consider installing a dishwasher drawer.

Because it’s independently operated, you can wash small loads as economically as large ones. Plus, the extra flexibility to run cycles simultaneously with your traditional dishwasher makes clean-up quicker and easier, explaining why nearly a third of designers are incorporating this new trend into kitchens, as well.

Another popular element to include in the kitchen in 2010 is a pull-down or pull-out faucet. Utilized by 85 percent of kitchen designers, it’s an easy way to make a design statement at the kitchen sink while 6

increasing functionality. The new Arbor pull-down kitchen faucet from Moen seamlessly brings simple sophistication to the kitchen with its transitional styling that complements virtually any decor. It’s available in a chrome finish, which is another 2010 trend to look for in appliances, accents and hardware throughout the entire kitchen. For more information about the Arbor pull-down kitchen faucet from Moen, visit moen.com or call (800) BUY-MOEN (800-289-6636).

In the bath Granite is the dominant material chosen for vanities in current remodels - used by seven of every eight designers

- however, in 2010 alternative natural materials, like marble, will continue to grow in popularity.

According to NKBA, just under half of bathroom designers utilize marble, as it provides a sophisticated look that’s reminiscent of Roman baths with its regal, refined detail that exudes a sense of luxury. Plus, marble countertops provide a stain-resistant, waterresistant, rugged and durable surface - ideal for childfriendly bathrooms or homes with just one bathroom that see a lot of traffic throughout the day.

NKBA also forecasts that integrated sink tops will be a popular choice this year, as you can easily use existing items to achieve this look. By adding a sink into an antique dresser or chest, designers are creating oneof-a-kind vanities for nearly 30 percent of all clients.

Polished chrome finishes are another bathroom design trend for 2010. Look to incorporate this chic metal accent into all your hardware by updating the accessories in your bath, as well. You’ll be able to make a big impact with small updates like new towel bars and robe hooks, for a completely coordinated look. (ARA)

Too Much House?

By Dave Ramsey

First, let me tell you that mortgage debt is the only kind of debt I don’t yell about.

I don’t borrow money - ever. But, I know most people won’t do the “100% Down Plan” when it comes to buying a home.

So what are your options?

For those of you who are in debt (which is most of you), let me tell you what Sharon and I did.

Nearly 20 years ago my wife, Sharon, and I hit the financial bottom because of our debt. We did an unpopular thing to help turn things around. After years of marriage and owning hundreds of pieces of real estate, we became renters. Normal mindset is that you should buy and not rent but remember normal is broke. All these years later, I can see that that was probably THE best sacrifice we made. We were able to pay off our debts and save money for a house.

Although that’s the smartest and safest route, if your heart is set on buying a home you can still do it wisely. But if you can’t pay cash for a house in full, how do you figure how much house is too much?

Take some time to sit down and do the math.

Your mortgage payment should not be more than 25% of your take-home pay and you should get a 15-year or less fixed-rate mortgage.

Notice I said a 15-year mortgage, not 30. Don’t be tempted by the smaller monthly payments of a 30-year mortgage. The truth is 30-year mortgages are for people who enjoy being in debt so much they want to extend it for 15 more years and pay thousands of dollars more in interest for the privilege!

Now, you can probably qualify for a much larger loan than what 25% of your take-home pay would give you. But it’s really not wise to spend more on a house because then you will 28

We b r i n g p e o p l e a n d h o m e s t o g e t h e r .

be what I call “house poor.” Too much of your income would be going out in payments, and it will put a strain on the rest of your budget so you wouldn’t be saving and paying cash for furniture, cars and education.

Dave Ramsey is a personal money management expert, an extremely popular national radio personality and best-selling author of The Total Money Makeover. Dave is changing the face of America by helping people get out of debt and build wealth. Ramsey exemplifies his life’s work of teaching others how to be financially responsible, so they can acquire enough wealth to take care of loved ones, live prosperously into old age, and give generously to others.

The point is your house payments shouldn’t take over your budget. Don’t let your mortgage payments cause you major stress every month for years and years to come. Your dream home needs to be just that, a dream. You don’t want it turning into a financial nightmare.

A “smart home” is a home equipped with structured home wiring packages that control the home’s systems via networked technologies.

Fewer than 2 percent of homeowners build a custom home; most buy an older home or select from a home builder’s menu.
