TAX TIME:

5 BENEFITS OF BUYING A HOME See Inside For More Details

Tax time is here and many people, when they see their tax bills, will be wondering what they can do to pay less next year. Buying a home continues to provide great tax benefits as well as other advantages for Americans looking to build wealth. Below, top-ranked national real estate expert and consumer advocate Rhonda Duffy shares five benefits of buying a home. “If you’re caught in a renting rut or uncertain about joining the ranks of homeowners, you should consider the benefits of buying a home,” says Duffy. “Although home prices are slowly inching upward, now is still an excellent time to buy. This is especially true if you’re a first-time homebuyer. Here are five benefits of homeownership:” Tax advantages: “When tax time rolls around, homeowners are entitled to deduct certain expenses related to their mortgage payments and owning a home. Mortgage interest is typically deductible. In the early years of your loan, this is a sizable amount because a large portion of your mortgage payment is interest. You can deduct mortgage points, which are fees you pay to receive a lower interest rate. You can also deduct your property tax, and you might be eligible to deduct your private mortgage insurance.” Appreciation: “When you rent, your money goes to someone else. There’s no benefit to you other than a roof over your head. When you buy, you earn appreciation as the value of your home goes up. Instead of paying rent, you’ll pay a mortgage and invest in future returns. For example, if you buy a house for $150,000 and five years later, it’s valued at $200,000, you have a $50,000 return on your investment.”

Catching an upswing in home values: Although the increase in home prices nationally slowed last year, prices are expected to continue to rise this year. “If you want to buy before you’re priced out of the market, now is the time to make your move,” Rhonda says. Low interest rates: “While mortgage interest rates are creeping upward, they remain at relatively low levels, especially compared to rates that were in the 8 to 9 percent range 20 years ago. Even as recently as 2007, rates were in the 6 percent range. Pride of ownership: “Perhaps the most satisfying of all the beneﬁts of buying a home is the sense of gratiﬁcation you feel when you relax in your own home. You can remodel and update as you please, you don’t have to rely on a landlord for repairs, and you have a sense of stability.” Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2018. All rights reserved.

TAX TIME:

5 BENEFITS OF BUYING A HOME Tax time is here and many people, when they see their tax bills, will be wondering what they can do to pay less next year. Buying a home continues to provide great tax benefits as well as other advantages for Americans looking to build wealth. Below, top-ranked national real estate expert and consumer advocate Rhonda Duffy shares five benefits of buying a home. “If you’re caught in a renting rut or uncertain about joining the ranks of homeowners, you should consider the benefits of buying a home,” says Duffy. “Although home prices are slowly inching upward, now is still an excellent time to buy. This is especially true if you’re a first-time homebuyer. Here are five benefits of homeownership:” Tax advantages: “When tax time rolls around, homeowners are entitled to deduct certain expenses related to their mortgage payments and owning a home. Mortgage interest is typically deductible. In the early years of your loan, this is a sizable amount because a large portion of your mortgage payment is interest. You can deduct mortgage points, which are fees you pay to receive a lower interest rate. You can also deduct your property tax, and you might be eligible to deduct your private mortgage insurance.” Appreciation: “When you rent, your money goes to someone else. There’s no benefit to you other than a roof over your head. When you buy, you earn appreciation as the value of your home goes up. Instead of paying rent, you’ll pay a mortgage and invest in future returns. For example, if you buy a house for $150,000 and five years later, it’s valued at $200,000, you have a $50,000 return on your investment.”

10 PAINT TOUCH-UPS FOR A SHOW-READY HOME When selling your home, it pays to touch up the paint. The higher perceived value of a maintained home is well-documented, and there’s no easier (or more economical) way to give the impression than with some fresh paint. Before placing your home on the market, complete these 10 touch-ups. Or, you may want to contact a painter and do more than touch up spots. 1. If you want buyers to consider your home, make sure the front door is well-painted. A fresh coat of paint will make a great first impression.

7. Inspect areas that come in contact with soiled hands—window frames, door frames, edges of doors, and walls around light switches. You may be able to clean them if you used a glossy paint; if not, do more touch-ups.

2. Next up is the entrance hall, where buyers will get their initial glimpse of the interior. At the very least, touch up areas where the paint shows marks or chips. Think of repainting this area entirely.

8. Scrub cabinet doors clean of fingerprints, if possible, or touch up painted areas.

3. Bathrooms often receive extra scrutiny from buyers, so give them extra attention. Touch up as needed.

9. Water stains on the ceiling are a huge red flag for buyers. Be sure to prime and re-paint these potential deal breakers.

4. Size does matter when it comes to the kitchen. If you want to make yours look bigger, paint the walls white or off-white. If repainting is not an option, remove food stains from the walls and conceal water spots by applying primer, then touch-up paint.

10. Put the finishing touches on your home. Look for stray flecks of paint, as well as marks and stains. Conceal them with some touch-up paint, and your home will be good to go...and show!

5. Assess your windowsills, especially if the view is a selling point. Sand, prime and paint them as needed. 6. Check your woodwork. Touch up chipped or marred paint on chair rails and floor molding.

You may be able to touch up some areas yourself, but for bigger projects and whole room repainting, be sure to call your local home painting service company for an estimate and help. Source: The Paint Quality Institute Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2018. All rights reserved.

WH AT KIND OF I NS U R AN CE D O YOU NEED FOR YOUR VA CATION HOME ? by John Voket

Every homeowner knows they need a full range of homeowner’s insurance coverage to protect them from the many contingencies that could befall them, from liabilities related to trip hazards, fire, theft and weather events. What about vacation homes? Do these second or seasonal homes need special or heightened types of insurance protection? According to our sources at Selective Insurance Group, there are a few things to take into consideration to properly protect your vacation home.

physical structure of the condo, not your belongings? Selective advises condo owners to look into this with their insurance agent.

Property crime – If your vacation property is only used during certain parts of the year, and you don’t rent it out, periods when it is unoccupied leave it susceptible to break-ins. Although property crime—including burglary—fell between 2016 to 2017, it’s still cause for concern, the folks at Selective say. Burglary still accounted for almost two of every 10 of the estimated 7.9 million property crimes in 2016.

Amenities – With various amenities from swimming pools or hot tubs to trampolines, accidents are possible, so consider reviewing the liability portion of your insurance policy and your liability limit to ensure assets are adequately protected in the event someone is injured on your property and files a lawsuit.

What about flood insurance? Flooding can happen in a wide range of regions, no matter the time of year or local weather patterns. While some areas are more likely to see flooding than others, many regions can experience devastating flooding. Are you as protected as you should be? Single-family or condo? If you own a condominium versus a single-family residence, your condo association may already have coverage—but does the association insurance only protect the

Value it right – Property insurance premiums are determined by how much it would cost to rebuild your residence from scratch should it be destroyed. Your independent agent and insurance carrier can work with you to determine the appropriate amount of coverage you might need for a vacation home. If you want to protect yourself and your home away from home, consult with a certified insurance professional before another vacation season exposes you to an unnecessary loss.

SELE T HE SE L E CT THE Righ r ee R igh t T ree FFOR OORR T HHEE Righ R igh t P la ce IINN YO U R YAR D YOUR

It has been more than 140 years since the first Arbor Day was observed in Nebraska. It has since become a national observance that takes place on the last Friday in April in most states and recognizes the importance of trees as well as tree selection, planting, and care. A properly selected and planted tree can add beauty and energy efficiency to your landscape. A poorly selected and planted tree can become high maintenance, dangerous, and short-lived. The Energy Education Council has advice to help you select the tree that is best for your yard.

“This is an excellent time of year for tree planting,” says Molly Hall, executive director of the Energy Education Council. “With some research and preparation, your tree will be a healthy and beautiful addition to your home for years to come.” One of the first considerations is the purpose of your tree. Will your tree be needed for shade, a windbreak, or beauty? These considerations will affect what tree is suitable for you, and where it should be planted. Dense evergreens provide a good wind block, while leafy deciduous trees provide shade in the summer. No matter what purpose the trees will serve, it is always best to choose native trees. They require less maintenance and will live longer. You can get more information about native growing trees from a regional university Extension office or a state department of natural resources. In addition, the Arbor Day Foundation has a free tree wizard tool that will help you select the best tree for your needs. It is available at www.arborday.org/shopping/ trees/treewizard/intro.cfm. The next step is to decide where you will plant your tree. For a windbreak, plant trees to the north, northwest, and west. For shade, plant trees to the east and west of your home. Remember that fast-growing trees are more brittle and likely to be damaged in a storm. Plant these trees farther from your home to protect your home from damage. If you live in an area that is prone to wildfires, there are additional considerations to help keep your home and community safe. It

is recommended that you limit the flammable vegetation and material around your home for at least 30 feet on all sides. Contact your local fire department for more information. Also be sure to select planting locations that will not interfere with your utility lines or power poles. Power outages or interruptions occur when trees and branches come into contact with overhead lines. Electrical arcing and sparking from a wire to a nearby branch can cause fires. Tall growing trees with a mature height of greater than 40 feet should be planted 50 feet away to avoid future pruning. A mature height of less than 25 feet is recommended for trees planted near power lines. Keep in mind that trees should never be planted directly under power lines, near poles, or too close to electrical equipment. Tall growing trees near power lines must be pruned to maintain a safe distance from the wires. If you have trees that are growing into power lines, contact your electric provider. Never try to prune them yourself. Before planting, take proper precautions to stay safe. Be sure to call 8-1-1, the national “Call Before You Dig” number, a few business days before you want to plant. It is a free service that gets your public underground utilities located and marked, so you can dig safely away from them. Or, contact your local landscaping or lawn care company, and they will be able to help you plant your trees. Source: Energy Education Council Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2018.

3 THINGS NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT WORKING WITH A REAL ESTATE AGENT If you’ve never bought or sold a home before, chances are you have a preconceived notion of what real estate agents are all about. Unfortunately, you may also have the wrong idea or be misinformed about just what these professionals can do for you. Here are three things you probably never knew about working with a real estate agent: Your relationship with your real estate agent goes way beyond buying or selling a home. A professional real estate agent will be your connection to a myriad of resources you will need before, during and after the transaction, such as mortgage, title and insurance professionals, home improvement and repair services, home stagers, interior designers, painters and landscapers, cleaning services, etc. Many real estate agents are part of a brokerage that offers some of these services within the firm, or that has partner relationships with such firms. They are also well entrenched within the community and can offer great referrals on a whole host of sources that you might need. Good real estate agents are not just after a deal at all costs. They’re looking after your best interests because their ultimate goal is to make you happy and create a client for life. Therefore, you can expect your agent to advise you on making the best possible decision, not selling you a bill of goods just to earn a quick commission. For example, if you’re looking at homes in a neighborhood that’s going to put you in a financial bind, a good agent will steer you toward an area that suits your preferences, but also your budget. A good agent is not a money-hungry shark, but a trusted guide.

Remember this: The lifeblood of a real estate agent’s business is referrals, so most are committed to serving you and earning your trust. A professional real estate agent is a financial analyst of the local market and will know how to price your home correctly for sale, or will help you make the best offer when bidding on a home to buy. These pricing decisions are based on an in-depth knowledge of knowing what has sold for what price in which neighborhood over the course of the last month, quarter, year, etc. They are also based on granular details of the home, such as a recent remodel that warrants a higher price or a needed repair that requires a price drop. So expect your agent to have a strong opinion when it comes to advising you on how to price your home for sale or put in a bid on the home you want to buy. Know that there’s a lot of research and knowledge that goes into arriving at those numbers. Remember, there’s more to a good real estate agent than meets the eye! Finding the right professional to work with will make your real estate experience positive and successful. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2018. All rights reserved.

SELL HOMES FASTER WITH A HOME STAGER ON YOUR TEAM Think you have all the players in place on your real estate team? Think again, if you’re missing a home stager. This important role takes a special interest in how the homes you represent are portrayed to buyers. Home staging, according to the Real Estate Staging Association, is the act of preparing and showing a property for sale. It is a systematic and coordinated methodology in which knowledge of real estate, home renovations and creative design principles are applied to attract a buyer. Preparing the property involves all or part of cleaning, de-cluttering, updating and repairing, while showcasing is the process of arranging furniture, accessories, art and light. Staging is not a new concept, but many real estate agents are misled that this powerful marketing tool is expensive and time consuming. Therefore, they only bring on a stager when the home is vacant or has a complicated layout. But, let’s face it, all you have to do is look at the multiple listing photos online to realize that all homes can beneﬁt from at least one aspect of home staging. We know that a homebuyer will base his or her decision on buying within seconds of viewing the space and if it’s not a show-worthy home they see, chances are there will be no offer. There are only two major factors that matter when selling: the listing’s price and condition. That’s where home staging comes in. Home staging not only enhances a sale, but it can beneﬁt real estate agents too by beating out competition, growing business and attracting bigger payouts. If you want to sell quickly at the highest price, pay attention to these details in a home.

HAVE SELLERS REMEMBER THE BUYER

It’s important for a seller to put themselves in the buyer’s shoes to begin to detach from the home. This allows a seller to set their own feeling aside in the real estate transaction. Thinking like a buyer opens the seller’s eyes to the actual condition of the home and makes them more proactive to refresh their space and maintain the home while on the market.

WHAT’S IN THE DETAILS?

Home staging gives sellers a plan of action to tackle clutter, dirt and repairs before putting their home on the market. These are easy, cost effective suggestions the seller can do to make their home stand out among neighborhood competition. By removing clutter, the seller is reducing not only the amount of items in plain sight, but beginning the actual packing process. De-cluttering also makes the cleaning process easier to handle.

IT’S AN EMOTIONAL ROLLER COASTER

Home staging instantly connects the buyer to the home emotionally. Emotions are what drive a sale because the decision will affect the buyer’s family, lifestyle and reputation. When a home seller depersonalizes the house and ultimately thinks as a buyer would, that increases the chances of a buyer getting emotionally attached and truly believing the house was made for them.

ASSESSING MINOR REPAIRS

A major detail that will deter low-ball offers is making necessary minor repairs. A home has to be worth the price tag that you’re trying to sell it for and home staging can not only deter low offers, but increase the value.

UNDER PUBLIC SCRUTINY

Home selling can be a grueling process for sellers when their lives become public display to strangers and their criticisms. If a homeowner is going to be living in their home when selling, they have to willingly be inconvenienced not only emotionally, but physically. So what’s the best way to get out from under the microscope? Sell fast. By having a home properly prepared for sale, you don’t have to wait a long time for the right offer, which means you don’t have to sit on the market constantly trying to upkeep the space.

Before you list your next house consider, consulting with a home stager to ﬁnd the best way to transform a home, and get the deal closed quickly and stress-free.
