Welcome Hope Springs Eternal

Life and

Homes

Home buyers are in a spring mood but sellers are still hibernating; resulting in record low inventory and angst for many home sellers, buyers and their agents.

“What many don’t realize is that while a lack of inventory might help a seller get more for their home, it has a downside,” says Broker, Frank Wilson. “It can cause potential sellers not to list, appraisals to come in low, buyers to lose out to multiple offers, VA and FHA buyers to take second chair to cash or conventional loans, and a general frustration from lack of choice.”

“Some potential sellers are currently parked in a gridlock position,” concurs CEO J. Lennox Scott, “because they are afraid to put their home on the market for fear they either won’t find a home, or they will find themselves in a multiple offer situation. This has stalled the migration pattern of sellers who would normally be putting their homes on the market.”

George Moorhead, Broker, agrees. “Sellers are frustrated when they cannot find another home to match their current needs, or when a home goes off market so fast that the option of a contingent sale is not even considered.”

The current market tends to favor buyers who are pre-approved for a mortgage, those with no contingencies and buyers with a large amount of cash to put down.

Adirondack Section Should we expect a change in the market anytime soon? Some believe seasonality is a factor and are expecting an uptick in listings. There’s hope that many sellers are preparing their properties for the more traditional listing time in late Spring.

Business Directory

“For buyers, hope springs eternal,” suggests John Deely, a managing broker with Coldwell Banker. “We’ve been experiencing continued high buyer demand as the spring market takes off but sellers are on a more traditional schedule as listings slowly ramp up.” We’re all hoping sellers get moving soon. A balanced market is always preferable.

Window Film

Saves Money You can keep your windows from decreasing your home’s energy efficiency and increasing your monthly energy bills.

Windows typically account for 15 to 30 percent of the total heating load in a structure and may account for over half the summer cooling load.

Money may be escaping out your windows.

“I encourage homeowners to think of the hot and cool spots throughout their homes,” said Darrell Smith, Executive Director of the nonprofit International Window Film Association (IWFA). “These are indicators of areas that can be addressed to help boost a home’s efficiency.”

Full window replacement may not be the most cost-effective means for improvement.

“A professional installation of window film can provide the same - if not more - benefits for homeowners as complete window replacements,” said Smith. “In addition, a film installation can often be completed without a major disruption in use of the rooms.”

According to Smith, the potential savings per dollar can be seven times that of the installation of new windows. On average, an installation on a single-family home may range from $4 to $12 per square foot, depending on the type of window film installed.

Once window film is installed, it can help block up to 84 percent of the sun’s heat - keeping a home cool in summer - and help hold heat inside during winter - resulting in lower energy bills and a warmer environment.

“An additional feature of window film is the ability to block up to 99 percent of ultraviolet

newsShorts rays from passing through a window,” said Smith. “This offers homeowners an extra measure of protection for furniture, floors and cherished heirlooms.”

For more on window film or to find an accredited installer, visit www.iwfa.com. (NAPSI)

7 Home Improvements

to Tackle Before

You Move In

You found the perfect home, so it’s not surprising that you want to move in as quickly as possible. However, there are some projects that are best done when the house is still empty. So, consider completing the following seven items before the moving trucks arrive.

Painting.

A fresh coat of paint can instantly update a room, and it’s common to buy a home knowing you will need to paint several rooms after the sale.

However, painting is best done while every wall is accessible and there are no worries about getting paint on furniture or rugs.

Changing locks.

Now is the time to change the locks on your new home to eliminate the risk of any former keyholders accessing your new space. Do this even if you know the former keyholders because you never know who they shared keys with.

Flooring updates.

Redoing a floor is always easier when the floor is empty. Whether you’re choosing to redo wood floors or lay tile before you move in, tackling this process now also allows you to keep wood and tile dust off of furniture and collectables.

Roof repairs.

Roof repairs are a must. If the home inspection revealed any damage to the roof, make the necessary repairs before moving in. Choose a contractor experienced with the type of shingles your home requires. Several of the largest shingle manufacturers have programs for contractors who meet certain qualifications, like TAMKO Building Products’ Pro Certified Contractor program.

Homeowners can easily locate a TAMKO Pro at www.TAMKO.com/find-a-pro to get their project started.

Removing popcorn ceilings, a common sight, especially in older homes.

Popcorn ceilings (and walls) are easy to remove, but messy. Use a spray bottle to moisten an area, then scrape the texture off with a towel. Clean-up will be much easier if you complete this project before introducing your furniture to the space.

Fix leaks.

If left untreated, water leaks can do serious damage to furniture, rugs, flooring and other valuables. Leaks can also lead to secondary problems like rotting wood, mold and mildew.

No one wants to live in a house where you can’t use the water, so address plumbing issues before you move in.

Child and pet proofing.

Careful child and pet proofing can protect your babies (furry or otherwise). Gates at the top and bottom of stairs, outlet covers and locks on cabinets, drawers and any other place chemicals or medicines are kept, can help make your new home a safer place.

As difficult as it can be, sometimes delaying your move-in by a few weeks can save months of frustration in the long run. So don’t wait, because the sooner you start, the sooner you can start your new life in your new home.

What Makes a Great Buyer’s Agent?

A great way to identify a great agent is by their listening skills!

A great agent always listens to the needs and wants of a buyer.

A great Buyer’s Agent is patient and not pushy.

One who will explain the process more than once if needed.

They put your best interest at heart.

They will keep you informed every step of the way!

5 STARS FOR Stephen Kantz!!!! This is an agent with some real common sense and zeal. He has a great attitude, while also being very nice and friendly. He has a great amount of experience and education, but more than that he is just real. I like how well he knows his local and surrounding communities. He is very on the ball too, getting back to you very fast with updates and always answering his phone. Buying and selling can be difficult, and with a teammate like him on your side it is so much more seamless. I am excited to finally have the whole process behind me, and a new friend. Thank You Stephen Kantz! - Mark R
