ACADIAN HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
A Gift for the Smart Home By Mark Gallagher, President Acadian Home Builders Association What’s on your Christmas wish list? Despite how popular they are in terms of sales during the holidays, neckties, perfume and socks almost never make anyone’s list. How about a new home? Today, more and more Americans are taking advantage of low interest rates and moving into their dream homes. The pace of homes sales throughout portions of 2016 reached post-recession highs. And the pace of residential construction is doing its best just to keep up with demand. This reinforces the fact that Americans view purchasing a home as one of the soundest investments. But even if you aren’t ready for a new home, innovations in smart-home technology have made it possible for consumers to make modifications to their existing homes to increase efficiency and comfort—while also enhancing value and improving marketability when the time eventually comes to sell. Some of today’s most popular devices in smart-home technology that home owners and home buyers alike are seeking include: • Smart thermostats – Among the most popular and arguably the most effective at improving energy efficiency, smart thermostats can learn the temperature preferences of the homeowner and auto-adjust to his or her schedulee. • Smart security systems – The pricee points and options are seeminglyy endless, but highlights typically includdee remote/mobile-access and control ttoo security camera footage and autoolocking doors. • Smart light bulbs – Certainn energy-efficient light bulbs can keep shining when the power goes out, illuminate or dim at desired times
Win a Brand New Home!
or at the sound of a doorbell, and sync with smartphones so the lights can turn on when you’re not home.
YOU could WIN a brand new home
• Smart doorbells – These come in various designs and colors, but most offer high-definition footage of live and/or recorded video whenever someone presses the bell, or on demand if the owner wants to see if someone is at the door.
Visit www.HomefortheHolidaysLA.com
• Smart window shades – Control them from your phone, schedule them to open and close at specific times, and/or simply tell them what to do using the voice activation feature that many models offer. • Smart hubs – Just by the sound of your voice, you can control multiple smart-home devices interconnected through a central hub. Most of the big manufactures offer hubs for their various products, but products from different makers can’t always integrate easily with each other, if at all. It’s important to determine early on what your home automation needs are and identify which products offer the most compatibility. So this year break away from your normal gift-giving routine and consider investing in a gift for the home that everyone y can enjoy. A gift that makes your home “smarter” is i one that keeps giving all year long.

5 Holiday Hosting Disasters and How to Avoid Them
By: HouseLogic
Imagine you’re preparing to host your annual holiday party, and you’re past the point of no return. The veggies and meats have been bought. Guests are already braving busy airports and crowded highways to get to your home -- and then your oven won’t turn on. Your home-cooked meal has quickly turned into a microwave dinner. That’s just one of many hosting nightmares that can end your holiday party before it even begins. Thankfully, some of the most damaging mishaps easily can be avoided. We collected five of the most prevalent issues and give you preventative tips to keep your holiday party on track.
Problem: The Oven Doesn’t Heat For any holiday occasion, the oven is the most important appliance in your house. If it fails to work, the centerpiece of your meal could go from roasted beef, ham, duck, or Tofurky to Peking Duck from the local Chinese takeout joint.
How to avoid:
• There are any number of reasons a stove can break, but one common cause of disaster is easy to prevent. Don’t self-clean your oven until AFTER the holidays. You risk blowing a fuse or a thermostat, and tracking down an oven technician around the holidays can be tough.
Problem: The Kitchen Sink Clogs
The day after Thanksgiving is the busiest of the year for plumbers. The prime cause of this cloga-thon is the mistreatment of drains when cooking holiday feasts. We hope your Thanksgiving went well, and that you avoid clog-a-thons for the rest of the holidays.
How to avoid:
• Fats and cooking oils can solidify in your pipes, so never dispose of them in your kitchen sink. • If you have a garbage disposal, make sure it’s running before anything goes in it, and never feed it any stringy, fibrous, or starchy foods like poultry skins or potato peels. • To fix, don’t rely on chemical drain-clearing products that can harm your pipes. Use a snake instead, available for $15 at your local hardware store. Best to keep one on hand.
Problem: The Heat Goes Out
As the party’s host, you’re supposed to hang guests’ coats -- not apologize to them for having to keep them on. A lack of heat can stop a holiday party dead in its tracks.
How to avoid:
• The key to avoiding freezing your party to a standstill is regular maintenance of your HVAC. Every 90 days, a new one-inch pleated furnace filter should be installed. If you haven’t done it in a while, now’s a good time to replace it. • Also, inspect insulation on refrigerant lines that are leading into your house. Replace them if they’re missing or damaged.
Problem: The Toilet Stops Up
Toilets have a way of clogging up at the worst times, such as during parties and when you have overnight guests. This is especially true if you have a low-flow toilet from the early 1990s.
How to avoid:
Don’t flush anything other than sewage and toilet paper down the toilet. And there’s nothing wrong with putting up a polite note to remind your guests to do the same.
Problem: The Fridge Doesn’t Cool
Without a properly functioning refrigerator, your meat could get contaminated, your dairy-based treats could go sour, and you may not be able to save your yummy leftovers. To avoid discovering a warm fridge after it’s too late, take these simple precautions.
How to avoid:
• Get a thermometer for your refrigerator to make sure each shelf stays below 40 degrees and you can be aware of any temperature changes. • Also, make sure the condenser coils located on the back of the unit or beneath it are free to breathe. Coils blocked from circulating air by cereal boxes atop the fridge, or dirtied by dust or pet hair can prevent a fridge from keeping cool.

GENERAL COUNSEL
HOW CAN WE SAVE ON CLOSING COSTS? Q: MY WIFE AND I ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BUYING A NEW HOUSE. WE AREN’T SURE WHETHER OR NOT WE ARE GOING TO SELL OUR CURRENT HOUSE OR KEEP IT AS A RENTAL, SO WE WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE CLOSING COSTS ON OUR NEW HOUSE AS LOW AS POSSIBLE. IS THERE ANYWAY WE CAN SAVE ON CLOSING COSTS?
Stephen J. Oats
A: There are a few ways you and your wife could save on closing costs. If you haven’t made an offer on a new house already, when you do make the offer, you could ask the seller to pay a percentage of your closing costs. It is not uncommon for a motivated seller to agree to pay a portion of the buyer’s closing costs. For example, the seller might agree to pay up to $1,500 of the buyer’s closing costs (i.e. appraisal, lender fees, title insurance, etc.). You could also schedule your closing late in the month, or early in the month. Since interest on your loan is paid to the end of the month at closing, the interest payment gets lower as you get closer to the end of the month. However, if you wait a few days and close at the beginning of the next month, you’ll need to pay more up front at settlement, but you’ll gain a whole month’s delay before your first full mortgage payment is due. This is because mortgage interest is paid in arrears, after the month has passed. For example, if you closed on December 5, 2016 instead of late in November, your first mortgage payment would not be due until February 1, 2017. A third option is to find a lender who will finance closing costs by wrapping them into the mortgage. This method may cost you a little more over the long run, as lenders typically charge higher interest rate for a “no closing costs” loan.
A CLOSING DATE IS NOT SET IN STONE Q: MY WIFE AND I ARE IN THE PROCESS OF SELLING OUR HOUSE. WE AGREED WITH THE BUYERS THAT WE WOULD CLOSE BY NOVEMBER 22, 2016, AND EVERYTHING APPEARED TO BE ON TRACK, BUT A FEW DAYS AGO, WE RECENTLY RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE CLOSING ATTORNEY NOTIFYING US THAT THE CLOSING WOULD HAVE TO BE DELAYED A FEW DAYS. WHAT TYPE OF THINGS CAN CAUSE A CLOSING TO BE DELAYED? A: The closing is the last step in the home buying or selling process. The closing is where the seller receives closing funds from the buyer, and the buyer gets proof of ownership. While everyone does their best to meet the closing date, it is important to remember that many things can delay the closing. For example, the lender may discover problems with the buyer’s credit history that has to be explained. Or, the attorney may run into unforeseen delays in receiving the paperwork from the lender. There may be delays in receiving a copy of the property’s appraisal, or the inspection may reveal necessary repairs that must be done before closing can take place. The closing attorney may also discover liens or judgments against the property that have to be resolved prior to closing. And, the buyer or seller may have personal problems (i.e. work conflicts, family conflicts, etc.) that lead to rescheduling. Just remember, delays in closing don’t necessarily mean the transaction is falling apart. Most transactions do eventually close, and most problems can be straightened out in a few days. The keys are patience and flexibility. Good luck.

Guests are already braving busy airports and crowded highways to get to your home -- and then your oven won’t turn on. Your home-cooked meal has quickly turned into a microwave dinner. That’s just one of many hosting nightmares that can end your holiday party before it even begins. Thankfully, some of the most damaging mishaps easily can be avoided. We collected five of the most prevalent issues and give you preventative tips to keep your holiday party on track.
Problem: The Oven Doesn’t Heat For any holiday occasion, the oven is the most important appliance in your house. If it fails to work, the centerpiece of your meal could go from roasted beef, ham, duck, or Tofurky to Peking Duck from the local Chinese takeout joint.
How to avoid:
• There are any number of reasons a stove can break, but one common cause of disaster is easy to prevent. Don’t self-clean your oven until AFTER the holidays. You risk blowing a fuse or a thermostat, and tracking down an oven technician around the holidays can be tough.
Problem: The Kitchen Sink Clogs
The day after Thanksgiving is the busiest of the year for plumbers. The prime cause of this cloga-thon is the mistreatment of drains when cooking holiday feasts. We hope your Thanksgiving went well, and that you avoid clog-a-thons for the rest of the holidays.
How to avoid:
• Fats and cooking oils can solidify in your pipes, so never dispose of them in your kitchen sink. • If you have a garbage disposal, make sure it’s running before anything goes in it, and never feed it any stringy, fibrous, or starchy foods like poultry skins or potato peels. • To fix, don’t rely on chemical drain-clearing products that can harm your pipes. Use a snake instead, available for $15 at your local hardware store. Best to keep one on hand.
Problem: The Heat Goes Out
As the party’s host, you’re supposed to hang guests’ coats -- not apologize to them for having to keep them on. A lack of heat can stop a holiday party dead in its tracks.
How to avoid:
• The key to avoiding freezing your party to a standstill is regular maintenance of your HVAC. Every 90 days, a new one-inch pleated furnace filter should be installed. If you haven’t done it in a while, now’s a good time to replace it. • Also, inspect insulation on refrigerant lines that are leading into your house. Replace them if they’re missing or damaged.
Problem: The Toilet Stops Up
Toilets have a way of clogging up at the worst times, such as during parties and when you have overnight guests. This is especially true if you have a low-flow toilet from the early 1990s.
How to avoid:
Don’t flush anything other than sewage and toilet paper down the toilet. And there’s nothing wrong with putting up a polite note to remind your guests to do the same.
Problem: The Fridge Doesn’t Cool
Without a properly functioning refrigerator, your meat could get contaminated, your dairy-based treats could go sour, and you may not be able to save your yummy leftovers. To avoid discovering a warm fridge after it’s too late, take these simple precautions.
How to avoid:
• Get a thermometer for your refrigerator to make sure each shelf stays below 40 degrees and you can be aware of any temperature changes. • Also, make sure the condenser coils located on the back of the unit or beneath it are free to breathe. Coils blocked from circulating air by cereal boxes atop the fridge, or dirtied by dust or pet hair can prevent a fridge from keeping cool.
