ACADIAN HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
Homeownership Tax Incentives Still Important to Americans By: President of Acadian Home Builders Association
A
As House and Senate lawmakers consider slashing tax breaks as part of their tax reform process, they should listen to the voters who put them in office and they will hear a loud and clear message: Americans overwhelmingly believe the mortgage interest deduction is an important middle-class tax provision that is worth keeping. The latest poll documenting this strong belief is a United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll conducted in July 2013.
When the surveyed adults were asked how important it is to keep the mortgage interest deduction for people who own homes, 61 percent of respondents said it was “very important,” and an additional 25 percent said it was “somewhat important.”
The proposals that government policymakers are considering would greatly harm home owners, home buyers, the housing market and the nation’s economy—even though national policy has acknowledged the importance of the home in American family life for almost a century. These proposals include threats to the mortgage interest deduction, instituting a standard 20 percent downpayment on home loans, and ending the federal backstop for housing, which would make the 30-year mortgage less accessible and more expensive.
Americans’ opinions on these issues have remained consistent, even as the economy has struggled to recover from the recession.
Home for the Holidays Tickets on Sale Now! Home for the Holidays is a joint project of the Acadian Home Builders Association (AHBA) and KATC-TV 3 in which a brand new, luxury home is raffled off and the proceeds given to local charities. In the eight year’s since the project’s conception, Home for the Holidays has given over $1.1 Million dollars to its adopted charities
Tickets: Owning a home has allowed generations of American families to build a sense of stability, pride and accomplishment. Homeownership has also always been – and continues to be – the single best long-term investment for most Americans, serving as a primary source of wealth and financial security, helping to provide for education, retirement and more for many households.

Homeownership contributes significantly to the nation’s economy as well.
& Carencro locations only) AHBA Office 135 N. Domingue, Lafayette
Housing accounts for about 15 percent of the nation’s total economic output, including new construction of single-family and multifamily homes, remodeling and services provided by existing homes. Building 100 average single-family homes generates 305 jobs, $23.1 million in wage and business income, and $8.9 million in taxes and revenue for state, local and federal governments.
Grand Prize: Brand new home valued at over $420,000 & featuring 2,868 sq. ft. of living space, 4 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and tons of high-end amenities Located in Élan Subdivision
Politicians seeking to reduce the deficit by reducing or eliminating government incentives to own a home need to remember that Americans—and the American economy— remain committed to the American Dream of homeownership.

Surveys conducted in 2011 and 2012 on behalf of the National Association of Home Builders by the Public Opinion Strategies and Lake Research Partners polling firms had similar results. Both surveys found that an overwhelming majority of American voters strongly value homeownership and would oppose efforts to weaken or eliminate the mortgage interest deduction or diminish a federal role to help qualified home buyers obtain affordable 30-year mortgages. And a 2011 New York Times/ CBS News poll found that more than 90 percent of American adults said that it is important for the federal government to continue the mortgage interest deduction.

There are moments in life that cause us to hesitate. Selling your home shouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be one of them. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re thinking about selling your home, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hesitate. The combination of low interest rates for home buyers and a shortage of homes for sale in many areas of the country indicate that now may be the right time to sell. When youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re ready, be sure to contact a real estate agent whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a REALTORÂŽ. REALTORSÂŽ have up-to-date information on market conditions in your area and can show you options that best ďŹ t your situation.

GENERAL COUNSEL FROM YARD WASTE TO COMPOST Q: MY FAMILY AND I ARE PLANNING A BIG WORK WEEKEND THIS WEEKEND TO GET OUR MUCH NEGLECTED AND OVERGROWN YARD UNDER CONTROL. THERE WILL BE LOTS OF TREE TRIMMING, GRASS CUTTING, AND REMOVAL OF SHRUBBERY. DO YOU KNOW OF ANY LAW OR ORDINANCE IN LAFAYETTE REQUIRING DISPOSAL OF CERTAIN YARD WASTE, OR CAN WE JUST LOAD UP THE GARBAGE CANS? A: Sounds like you have quite a project on your hands! There is no law or city ordinance requiring that you dispose of your yard waste in a certain manner. If you live outside of the city limits, I am sure you have witnessed people burning their yard waste, which I do not recommend!
Stephen J. Oats
Lafayette Consolidated Government Public Works Department has a composting program. The Dean Domingue Compost Facility is located in north Lafayette Parish, and according to the LCG website, the compost facility turns “green waste” such as tree branches, grass and shrub trimmings into a nutrient rich soil additive. Sheila Prejean with Lafayette Consolidated Government (LCG) is your contact person who can answer any and all questions about composting. She advised that yard debris pick up is included in your Allied Waste garbage fee if you reside in the City of Lafayette or unincorporated Lafayette Parish. According to Ms. Prejean, the yard waste should be placed on your curb either in a pile, in an open garbage can, or grass, pine needles, shrub trimmings can be placed in black garbage bags for pick up. There is no need to contact Allied Waste for pick-up. If you have tree branches 18 inches in diameter or larger, they must be cut into 4 feet pieces or smaller. The grinder at the compost facility cannot grind larger pieces than that. If you do use a garbage can for disposal of your yard waste, it cannot be larger than 35 gallons or weigh more than 50 pounds; garbage bags cannot weigh more than 35 pounds.
General Counsel answers are provided by the Law Firm of Oats & Marino, which is general counsel to individuals, businesses and government entities throughout the state of Louisiana. The information contained in this article is intended to be general in nature. Before any action is taken based upon this information, it is essential that competent, individual, professional service be obtained. Send Questions for this column to General Counsel, 100 E. Vermilion St., Suite 400, Lafayette, LA 70501 or e-mail your questions to generalcounsel@oatsmarino.com. Sorry, no personal replies.

RIGHTS OF SPOUSE VS. RIGHTS OF KIDS Q: MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE BEEN MARRIED FOR THIRTY (30) YEARS AND EACH HAVE GROWN CHILDREN FROM PREVIOUS MARRIAGES. WE DO NOT HAVE ANY CHILDREN TOGETHER. IF ONE OF US DIES, WHAT HAPPENS TO OUR SAVINGS, CHECKING ACCOUNTS, CARS AND CAMPER? A: Since you do not mention a prenuptial agreement between you and your husband, I assume the savings, checking accounts, cars and camper are community property. If you and your husband have not prepared wills disposing of your separate and community property then, under Louisiana law, your one-half interest in the community passes to your heirs (children) subject to your husband’s usufruct. A usufruct is your husband’s right to use the community property until his death or remarriage and vice versa. Your children and your husband’s children would be co-owners in indivision. Upon your death, your children will have to hire an attorney to probate your succession. The same will apply to your husband’s children upon his death. You and your husband are better able to resolve potential conflict that may arise upon one or both of your deaths by preparing a will. In Louisiana, there are two types of wills: the olographic will and the notarial will. The olographic will is entirely written, dated and signed by you (the testator). The notarial will requires that you declare the document is your will and you must sign each page in the presence of a notary and two witnesses. The witnesses and notary are required to sign the will as well. With the preparation of a will, you and your husband can each designate exactly how your separate and community property should be dispersed upon your death.
The best part is, compost is free at The Dean Domingue Compost Facility. Ms. Prejean advises that you contact her (337) 291-5637 prior to picking up compost to make sure there is compost available, the hours for pick-up, and that you are in an appropriate vehicle. Good luck, it’s going to be a hot one this weekend so stay hydrated!

Home harmonizing: Making outdoor entertaining areas as useful as indoors The trend toward outdoor living spaces shows no signs of slowing, and the newest step in the trend is blurring the lines between outdoor and indoor spaces. Outdoor spaces are truly becoming an extension of indoors, mimicking the most useful and appealing elements of indoor spaces. The trend is rewriting how Americans construct, outfit and enjoy that backyard staple, the deck. “The dividing line between indoor and outdoor living spaces is fading, and homeowners are looking for ways to make their outside environment as useful and comfortable as the inside of their homes,” says Chris Camfferman, senior product manager with Universal Forest Products, makers of Latitudes decking materials and accessories. “The trend is driving an evolution in deck styles and materials, with new designs emphasizing livability as much as durability.” If you want to bring your outdoor and indoor spaces into alignment this summer, look to these areas of your outdoor living space:
resistant platform for hot tub entertaining. Today, you can also use wireless technology outdoors. Wireless-equipped devices such as TVs and iPod stations make it easy to enjoy electronic entertainment - such as watching the big game or a romantic comedy - while savoring the fresh air and sunshine. Even easier -hang a bed sheet and use a movie projector to watch your favorite kid’s film or action flick, turning your deck into an outdoor movie theater. • Furnishings - If your idea of outdoor seating is a few plastic Adirondack-style chairs and a plastic table, it’s time to look indoors for inspiration. The styles and materials you enjoy indoors are making their way into outdoor furniture design. Plush cushions in designer hues evoke the same comfort and style as fine upholstered furniture indoors. Demand is growing for built-ins that can fulfill seating and workspace needs. Composite decking material makes built-in benches both durable and beautiful. Homeowners are using furnishings and accessories to turn the decks into statements of their personal style.
• Decorator touches - Many of the decorator tricks that designers use to spice up the interior of homes are moving outdoors, too. Deck stains and exterior paints now come in vibrant colors - not just dirt-hiding browns. Composite decking is also popping with color, with hues that mimic some of the richest, most enticing tones found in natural woods. Lighting is another design element that’s no longer relegated to the realm of “utilitarian” in outdoor environments. Whether you opt for decorative sconces on exterior walls of your home, twinkling LED lights on a deck railing, or Tiffany-inspired solar-powered postcaps, lighting is an opportunity to make a design statement in your outdoor living space. “For many Americans, outdoor living spaces have become every bit as important as indoors,” Camfferman says. “With advances in decking technology and outdoor decor, every homeowner can create an outdoor environment that’s as appealing and harmonious as the inside of their homes.”
• Outdoor kitchen - Food is a big part of entertaining, whether you’re hosting a big summer soiree to christen your new deck or an intimate pool-side dinner. Outdoor food prep and cooking require a touch more finessing than indoor cooking. Whether you use a portable grill or a built-in cooktop, gas or charcoal, it’s important that your decking can stand up to the rigors of cooking. Choose decking material that’s scratch- and stainresistant, like Latitudes’ Captiva and Capricorn lines. Both composite lines are capped with the most durable polymer technology available, making them virtually impervious to stains from food spills, as well as highly resistant to damage from cooking implements. Log on to www.latitudesdeck. com to learn more. • Entertainment areas - Long gone are the days when outdoor entertainment areas consisted of a table and deck chairs, period. Homeowners now want to enjoy the same types of amenities outdoors as they have indoors. For some, that includes a hot tub, and composite decking can provide a sturdy, barefoot-friendly and water-

Go-big upgrades that can help a lingering home sell at last Everyone knows spring and summer are the best months in which to sell a home. If your house has lingered on the market, you may be eager to find ways to freshen its appeal for potential buyers. Perhaps you’re even ready to go big and invest in upgrades that will improve the home’s value, curb appeal and interior allure so much that potential buyers just won’t be able to walk away from it. If you’re at that point, first figure out how much you can reasonably invest. Will the improvement increase your home value enough to allow you to recoup its cost? Maybe not, but if your priority is a faster sale, return on investment might have a different meaning for you. Next, look at areas of your home where improvements will have the biggest impact - spots that are
Acadiana HomeFinder www.theadvertiser.com
the least appealing or those that have the most appeal. Upgrading a less-than-great room can bring it up to snuff, but upgrading a good room could make it absolutely smashing. For example, painting a small bathroom in a bright color could make that cramped space feel bigger. Adding a skylight to your kitchen, bath, or other area in your home however, will really make a splash with abundant natural light and fresh air. Here’s a room-by-room game plan for highimpact upgrades that could make buyers fall in love with your home: Anywhere Buyers are, universally, looking for beauty and value. Any improvement that gives both can direct-

ly impact your ability to sell your home. Adding a skylight is a great way to enhance a home’s visual appeal, livability and energy efficiency while improving indoor air quality by introducing much needed fresh air into the home. Natural light can make a small room look bigger and brighter, and create a more healthful environment. Adding a traditional or tubular skylight to any room in the house brings more natural light into your home. Plus, Energy Star-qualified, solarpowered fresh-air skylights, like those made by Velux America, can provide fresh air through costefficient passive ventilation to reduce humidity and stale air, and heating, cooling and lighting costs. Add remote-controlled, solar powered blinds, and you can boost a skylight’s energy efficiency by 39 percent, Velux states. Continued on page 41
September 8, 2013
Continued from page 40
Finally, this is one high impact investment that can actually put cash back in your pocket. Installation of energy-efficient no leak solar powered fresh air skylights and blinds can qualify you for up to a 30 percent federal tax credit on the -products and installation costs. Visit www.veluxusa.com to learn more and calculate your tax credit for new or replacement skylights. Kitchen and bathroom Any Realtor will tell you great kitchens and bathrooms can sell a house. If yours are only so-so, they could be what’s standing in the way of getting an offer. If you’ve already done the basics - cleaning and decluttering, repainting and replacing dated cabinet hardware - it may be time to pull out the big guns.
Acadiana HomeFinder www.theadvertiser.com
New appliances and fixtures will cost you a few thousand, but can go a long way toward wooing buyers. New appliances look great, are more energyefficient, and provide buyers the peace of mind knowing they won’t face repair or replacement costs any time soon. New fixtures such as rainfall shower heads and touch-free faucets add an element of luxury to the most common bathroom. Adding a tile backsplash or new wood-look laminate flooring in the kitchen, and new tile floor in the bath can also create a big impact - and for less money if you do the work yourself. Replacing lowerquality or older countertops is also an eye-catching upgrade. The trick is to find the improvement that will have the biggest visual impact in your space. Living room/family
41
When buyers enter your home, chances are the living room or family room will be one of the first rooms they see. Their impression of that room can set the tone for how they perceive the rest of the house. Again, assuming you’ve done the basics painting, window treatments and accessories - a major upgrade in this room can have a winning impact.
If your home already has a fireplace, take a close look at it. What can you do to make it more appealing? Does it need a new facade? Larger gas logs or a better blower? Can you upgrade the mantel? If your home lacks a fireplace, adding one can be a great selling point. It’s possible to add a gas fireplace for less than $5,000 in most homes. Adding a gas insert to a wood-burning fireplace is even cheaper.

Smart home improvements for growing multi-generational households The American family continues to evolve, with multiple generations living under the same roof in more households than any time since the Great Depression. Of America’s 76 million households, 5.6 percent (4.3 million) were multi-generational as of 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Homeowners are finding it’s more important than ever to ensure every home improvement project delivers benefits for every member of the family children, parents and grandparents. Whether your family grows with the birth of a child or because a grandparent has moved in with you, here are some home improvement projects that are multi-generational family-friendly: Adding/updating a bathroom Few household situations are as stressful as too many people sharing just one or two bathrooms. If your home population is growing, but you’re still making do with too few bathrooms, adding a bath or upgrading an existing one can make life more pleasant for everyone. What’s more, it’s a smart investment of your renovation dollars. If you decide to sell your home down the road, you can expect
to recoup about 53 percent of the construction cost for a modest bathroom addition, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value report. And a modest bathroom remodel recoups about 64 percent of your investment. Finishing a basement or an attic bonus room If you’re looking for more usable living space, finishing a basement or attic bonus room is almost always easier than adding square footage to your home. A finished existing area can be a versatile investment, affording you the space to add a bedroom, bathroom, recreational room, home office or even a second kitchen a la in-law suite style. Upstairs, finishing an attic bonus room can provide a well-lit and airy retreat with the inclusion of fresh air skylights. Downstairs, advances in basement finishing technology have compressed the timeframe of this once pricey and drawn-out home improvement. Remodeling Magazine says a basement renovation pays back more than 70 percent of its cost at the time of resale.
The quality of light and ventilation in our home speaks directly to the safety and health of its occupants. Aging eyesight often needs better lighting, and poor indoor air quality can affect everyone’s health, but especially that of young children with respiratory ailments such as asthma. One improvement that addresses both concerns, is a skylight. When opened, an Energy Star-qualified fresh-air skylight, like those made by Velux America, can help exhaust stale unhealthy indoor air and bring fresh air into your home. Skylights especially make sense if you’ll be creating more inexpensive living space by finishing an attic. Add remote controlled solar powered blinds to solar powered fresh air skylights in your home and the products, as well as installation costs, are eligible for a 30 percent federal tax credit. To learn more about no leak skylights that close automatically in case of rain and how they can help improve indoor air quality, visit www.veluxusa.com. Upgrading key appliances Whether the hot water heater shudders when your teenager takes a shower or the furnace just can’t work hard enough to keep Grandma’s bones warm in winter, upgrading key appliances in your home can significantly improve the comfort of its occupants. What’s more, replacing older appliances with new ones can help you save money on your utility bills over the life of the product. Replacing an old water heater, furnace or air conditioner with an Energy Star-certified product can trim utility bills significantly.
Healthful upgrades
For example, according to EnergyStar.gov, replacing a central air conditioning unit that is 12 years old (or older) with an Energy Star-qualified one could reduce cooling costs by 30 percent, and switching to a solar water heater could cut your water heating bill in half. What’s more, between now and the end of 2016, certain energy-efficient home improvements may qualify you for a federal tax credit. If you install a residential solar water heating system, you could qualify for federal as well as state tax credits and other incentives. You can find a calculator to help tally the potential payback on a solar water heating system and a federal tax credit estimator to calculate your savings on new or replacement solar powered skylights at www.veluxusa.com.
