As this is our February issue, you might think I’m referring to relationships....but I’ll leave that stuff to Dear Abby. The only advice I’m dishing out is the kind that applies to house hunting.

Did you know walking into a perspective home with a simple checklist in your hand can help ensure you’ll be less likely to be distracted by staging, surface updates and new surroundings? Predetermine your checklist items by identifying the needs and wants that are specific to you and your family. You can find checklists online or create your own. Here are some basic ideas to get you started: • • • • • • • •

Are there outlets in each room? Is the wiring updated?

How old is the furnace and hot water heater?

Have the windows been updated, do they have screens?

How many bathrooms? # of tubs & showers?

Are there closets in each bedroom? Are they big enough?

What appliances are included in the deal?

How old are they?

Do they work?

Tips To Help You Buy A Home Despite

Student Debt

There’s good news for young people hoping to buy their first home. A recent National Association of Realtors® (NAR) survey found that buying a house while carrying student debt is not impossible.

In fact, 41 percent of recent first-time buyers had student debt, with a typical balance of $29,000.

Here are three tips to help you on your journey to homeownership while paying off your loans:

Start saving for a down payment now.

After paying rent, student loan bills and other monthly expenses, setting aside enough money for a sizable down payment of 20 percent may seem like a daunting task.

Thankfully, most successful buyers come to the closing table with a lot less cash.

NAR’s survey found that recent first-timers typically made a down payment of 5 percent.

At the current national median existing-home sales price of $247,000, that’s a much more manageable amount of $12,350. The more money you can put down, the better. Assess your current financial situation, including total expenses, and start saving as much as you can.

Meet with a lender to find out your options.

A lender will check your credit history, current debt obligations and other expenses to determine the amount of money you are qualified to borrow for a mortgage.

There are a number of mortgage loan programs available for homebuyers with student debt, and many lenders have made favorable changes to how this debt is calculated as part

newsShorts of a borrower’s overall debt-to-income ratio.

Furthermore, many lenders are now offering conventional loans for those with good credit with a down payment as low as 3 percent.

Be honest about what you can afford and rely on a real estate professional.

When determining how much of a mortgage payment you can handle, be sure to factor in both the amount and total time you have left to pay off your student loans. Don’t get stuck in a situation where your housing costs and student loans are stretching you thin.

That’s one reason using a Realtor®, a member of the National Association of Realtors®, is crucial to finding a home that fits your needs. A Realtor® will identify homes in your price range and negotiate on your behalf to ensure you stay within your budget. You can start your search today at www.realtor.com/realestateagents.

New Ways Renters Are Becoming

Homeowners The world that millennials have grown up in is a lot different than the world the Gen Xers and Baby Boomers knew.

Rising student debt, rising home prices and other economic factors have hit many millennials and left them to believe that they cannot afford a home. But no matter what your age, there are plenty of ways to become a homeowner, you just have to think a little more creatively.

Looking at current trends, a recent research study found that more U.S. households are now renting than at any time in the last 50

years. With a rising number of renters, many have worried that we are becoming a nation of renters rather than a nation of homeowners.

This is most evident with the younger generation, people under 30, who the National Multifamily Housing Council have found now account for 50 percent of all renters in the U.S. They aren’t renting because it’s a more affordable option, either. As many residents know throughout the country, rents are going up and up. Between 2012 and 2015, the median gross rent has gone up 8.24 percent, rising to $959. When you combine that with the utilities, a deposit and first and last month’s rent, it’s a lot of money to spend on something you will never own.

So why do people choose to rent? One reason is that many don’t realize that just like phones, cars and countless other things we use on a daily basis, homes have changed.

As demand for housing increases and prices on new and existing homes continue to rise, manufactured housing has adapted to the standards of today’s first-time homebuyers and provides a solution for a market in short supply of quality, affordable options.

In 2016, the average sales price for a manufactured home without land was around $70,600 - that’s an average of $48.82 per square foot - making them an affordable solution to renters looking to become homeowners.

“We believe manufactured homes offer a great solution for many households seeking affordable housing,” says Vanderbilt Mortgage and Finance Inc. President Eric Hamilton.

“We work with our customers to help find financing options that fit their needs and circumstances.”

Renters don’t have to continue doling out a monthly check for something they’ll never own. The housing market has changed and with this change, manufactured homes have brought forth new opportunities to become a homeowner. (BPT) February

5 Must-Have Home Features for Retirees As you move through the different stages in life, housing needs change.

The home you were excited to move into in your 30s might not be ideal when you’re nearing retirement.

According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies of Harvard University, between 2015 and 2035, the number of people over the age of 75 living alone will nearly double from 6.9 million to 13.4 million. Being prepared for retirement and aging is important, so it’s important to take a close look at the specific housing features that would most benefit those who are looking to downsize or find that perfect home to “age in.”

newsShorts look for a newly constructed home. Not only will you have fewer maintenance issues, but you can design a flexible floor plan that fits your lifestyle.

A customizable floor plan The features listed so far are part of what is commonly known as age-in-place design. These home features work for people of all ages, but are designed so you can age into them. In addition, make sure the home you purchase is single-story and fits the lifestyle you want for your future.

Walk-in showers

As you grow older, you realize there is no one, perfect dream home. Rather, there are different dream homes for different stages of your life. That is why Clayton Homes offers a range of models and designs that are easily customizable, affordable and stylish, allowing you to get the most out of your silver years. Visit ClaytonHomes. com for more information. (BPT)

Installing a walk-in bathtub or large shower is a good idea for ease and safety. Having extra room to move is not only aging-friendly, but a timeless trend that is easy to maintain. Clayton, one of America’s largest homebuilders, features optional walk-in showers with benches, a feature that’s great at any age, in many of their homes.

Now’s The Time To Plan Your 2018 Landscaping Projects

Wide doors and hallways Spacious doors and wide hallways do the double duty of making your home look great while providing enough space to maneuver a wheelchair or walker through if needed.

Open floor plans A home design trend that is perfect for any homeowner age is an open floor plan. For boomers, an open floor plan is more than just an aesthetic feature. Having wide spaces that allow you to move around is essential to maintaining independence as you grow older. It also helps add more natural light and is ideal when gathering with family and friends.

Now is the best time to work with your local landscape professional about plans for your yard. With the expertise and knowledge of a professional, you’ll be well on your way to get a thriving landscape you’ll enjoy come Spring.

Low maintenance

Quality lawn care and landscape professionals are all around you. If finding the perfect one for you is challenging, consult the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP) professional directory at loveyourlandscape.org/ find-a-pro. You’ll have access to the NALP’s comprehensive directory and can find inspiration through the organization’s expert advice columns and idea center.

Fixing up an older home with good bones might look fun on TV, but it’s not something you will want to deal with in your retirement. Rather than trying to troubleshoot problem after problem,

The initial conversations you have with your landscape professional are essential for creating a beautiful outdoor space. When working with a

professional, you can become more prepared by considering the answers to these questions in advance of your first meeting.

What’s important to you? You don’t need to know every last detail, but you should have a broad understanding of what you want. Do you want to entertain? Have space to garden or create a private area to enjoy quietly by yourself?

Determining what you want your yard to be and how it will be used can help your landscape professional realize your vision.

What’s your budget? When it comes to dreaming of the perfect landscape project, the limit is your imagination. But once you place some real-world practicality behind it, the limit will ultimately be your budget. So, how much are you willing to spend? It’s a good idea to have a rough estimate of this figure in your head before discussing plans with your landscape professional. Relaying this information to them will allow them to tailor a project that matches your expectations and your budget.

What plants are best for your property?

Flowers, shrubs and trees are all integral to any landscape project and you should have an idea of what you’d like to see. If you don’t know, visit your local greenhouse or nursery for inspiration and gain a greater understanding of native plants that fare well in your environment.

What level of lawn care is needed? Whether or not you have sprawling acres of land, a healthy lawn of any size and shape sets the foundation for a beautiful landscape. Your lawn care professional can review how to grow and maintain a lawn through all the seasons. Consider if weed control, mowing, aeration, fertilization and irrigation may be needed as part of your lawn care program. A lawn care specialist can help you budget and plan for these tasks now, even if your lawn is covered in frost or snow!

It’s not to early to start planning. The long weeks of winter are here, but now is the perfect time to formalize your plans for a gorgeous, spring lawn and landscape. A professional can help you reach every goal you’ve dreamed about and your home will benefit from your preparation. (BPT)

SOLAR PANELS

Myths

Debunked

Home solar panels can drastically cut or even eliminate electricity bills, reduce a home’s carbon footprint, increase resale value, and may even help a home sell faster.

The cost of rooftop solar systems has fallen dramatically in recent years, and most homeowners have the option of buying the system, leasing it on reasonable payment terms, or having a third-party pay for and install the system at no up-front cost at all for the homeowner. Plus, home solar systems are eligible for federal tax credits.

All of this explains why the number of homeowners installing solar has sky-rocketed across America.

Nevertheless, many homeowners remain skeptical about taking control of their energy use and installing solar.

Why? The various myths that still persist around solar power could be the reason.

“Solar technology has been around for a long time, but even though it’s entered the mainstream, many homeowners are still skeptical,” says renewable energy expert Roger Ballentine, president of Green Strategies, a leading Washington-based consulting firm.

“That’s because a number of myths persist, pointing to the need for better consumer education about the benefits of home solar installations.”

Ballentine points to private and government studies providing real information that debunks the myths surrounding solar power. For example, research by the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found solar panels help homes sell faster and for more money than those without solar.

If you’re considering installing a solar panel 18

LifeandHomes ■ Capital Region

system on your home, here are five common myths - and why you shouldn’t believe them: Myth 1: Solar panels only work if you live in a warm, sunny climate. While solar panels work best when they get a lot of sun, a lack of bright sun doesn’t mean they’re not working. Panels can still absorb ambient sunlight, even on cloudy days or in regions that get less bright sun. What’s more, today’s solar panels are more energy efficient than ever. Newer systems like the “LG NeOn R” maximize sunlight absorption and generate the maximum possible output - as much as 26 percent more than other comparably sized solar panels. This higher efficiency means that solar panels can work in virtually any climate and every season.

Myth 2: You need a lot of roof space for solar panels. Just like other amazing technologies (think microchips), solar panels are getting smaller, more powerful and more efficient.

High-efficiency panels take up less space because fewer panels are required to produce the electricity needed to power your home. So even a smaller home could have enough roof space to fit the number of panels needed to generate the necessary power and save you money.

Myth 3: Installation is a long, drawn-out hassle. While adding solar panels to your home isn’t a DIY project, installation usually takes only a day or two. New models streamline the process further, eliminating the need to install a separate inverter. Most solar panels require a separate inverter to bring electricity into your

house, but new panels from LG, for instance, incorporate the inverter, simplifying and accelerating the installation process.

Myth 4: If something goes wrong, you’re on your own. As with any major investment in your home, you should make sure you understand the manufacturer and installer warranties for your solar panels, including how long the coverage lasts and what types of problems are covered. One leading solar player, LG, even offers an industry-leading, 25-year product and power warranty. And unlike a furnace or an air conditioning system, a solar installation has no moving parts to wear out and typically requires little maintenance and repair.

Myth 5: Solar panels will look big, bulky and ugly on your roof. Solar panels are becoming smaller, sleeker and more aesthetically pleasing.

Higher-efficiency models are also offering increased flexibility of configuration. Instead of having to cover an entire roof with panels in a specific arrangement in order to generate power, modern options allow you to arrange panels to meet your sense of aesthetics.

Adding solar power to a home offers homeowners many benefits, from reducing energy costs, to increasing the value of your home and helping the environment, Ballentine says. “Overall, it’s a decision most homeowners feel positively about once they’ve made it.” The NREL notes in its study: “Buyers of homes with (solar panel) systems are more satisfied than are comparison buyers. A significantly higher percentage ... indicate they would buy the same houses again.” (BPT)
