haring housing expenses in a residence designed to comfortably accommodate two (or more) households has grown significantly in popularity in the past several years. Fortunately, an increasing number of homebuilders now offer floorplans that are specifically designed for or can be easily modified to meet the lifestyle needs of multiple family units.

Some examples Numerous homebuilders offer some form of multigenerational (often known as multi-gen) floorplans.

THE ARIZONA REPUBLIC

Northern Arizona not slowing down Second-home sales are still strong “up north”

V

By Debra Gelbart

alley residents looking for the perfect second home or retirement home in Northern Arizona haven’t abandoned that notion because of COVID-19. However, both buyers and builders are now proceeding with home sales a bit differently than pre-pandemic.

To wit: As in the past, buyers in many communities in Northern Arizona can choose either a two-step process (purchasing a homesite first and then building a custom home) or they can buy a newly constructed home just like you would in a production-home community anywhere. What’s new is that in addition to touring a lot or a home for sale inperson, prospective buyers are relying more on video tours, and in some cases, on a 3D representation of a property.

Variety of ways to view a property Fewer potential buyers than expected are taking advantage of virtual tours, said Deana Keck, vice president of marketing and culture for Symmetry Companies, the developer of Pine Canyon, a luxury home community in Flagstaff. Keck is also the designated broker for Pine Canyon Realty.

“About 95 percent are making in-person appointments,” she said, adding that gloves, booties and face-masks are offered to clients when they’re viewing a home in-person so that these items can be worn at all times during the tour.

Other sales executives in Northern Arizona are finding their prospective buyers want some virtual interaction. “Our focus and engagement on social media and through agent-shot videos has become another aspect of our business,” explained

“We will continue to offer virtual tours and continue to offer masks and gloves to anyone who may want one.”

—Deana Keck, Symmetry Companies and Pine Canyon Realty

Home away from home For some, owning a second home is more appealing than vacationing in unfamiliar places, particularly now. “Because of COVID-19, most of our buyers’ travel plans for the summer have gotten canceled,” Keck said. “It’s really easy to pack up the car and travel two hours north and relax in a place that’s your own since it feels like home.”

Safe splishing and splashing is important

our new home may also mean your first new pool. With that are new responsibilities, such as securing it to protect young children.

In Arizona, that security generally means an enclosure whether the pool is above or below ground. Indeed, most municipal ordinances in Arizona require a five-foot-high wrought-iron pool fence but some alternatives can be approved. Gates must also be self-closing and self-latching, said Lori Schmidt, public information officer, Scottsdale Fire Department, and immediate past-president of the Drowning Prevention Coalition of Arizona (preventdrownings.org).

Varying requirements Cities and towns have differing requirements and some are more stringent than state law and requirements in other cities and towns, said Brian Scholl, deputy fire marshal, Fire Prevention, for the Phoenix Fire Department. “For example, some cities allow alarms on doors to

model openings due to the limited number of people allowed in at one time and the social distancing required is tricky,” Keck said. “Due to this, we have been taking reservations for certain time-slots.”

count if you don’t have a fence. Phoenix, however, does not consider that an alternative to meet the code.”

Risk reduction is imperative It’s critical to select a barrier that will be maintained and used properly. Schmidt enumerated the downsides of alternative security measures which are allowable in specific circumstances under the statute.

For example, pool-nets and covers can be time-consuming to deploy, alarms can become a nuisance and removable fences only work when the fence is up and the gate is closed, she said.

To find out the specific barrier requirements in your municipality, visit the website of the city/town in which your new-home is located and search for “pool barriers”.

said, noting that on all property showings, he brings disinfectant wipes, shoe-covers and face-masks for prospective buyers to use or wear.

Not surprisingly, the pandemic is making group tours of new properties challenging. “Having open houses and

Virtual showings here to stay It’s important for people to actually see homes in-person, Lane said, and he doesn’t think that will ever change. In spite of that, virtual opportunities “will likely be a part of our ongoing marketing efforts and a way for people to see homes from afar,” he said. “However, in-person visits will always be the most impactful. We want to make sure we keep our agents and clients safe, and having a variety of ways to tour a home and interact will be important moving forward.”

RESPA: Disclosing before closing

Ask the

Expert

Settlement costs should not be a surprise

Professional movers and COVID-19

Q

What are professional moving companies doing in response to the COVID-19 pandemic?

The health and safety of our customers and employees remains our first and highest priority. We are taking extra precautions to ensure social distancing and proper health guidelines are followed including: Virtual surveys: We provide free virtual moving estimates from the comfort of the customer’s home. With a virtual survey, customers can show the estimator the belongings they need moved using our app which is similar to a FaceTime video chat.

Crew member safety protocol: This includes, when appropriate, masks, gloves and hand sanitizer. Dispatchers are taking crew members’ temperatures and screening them for visible symptoms prior to being dispatched. Employees are required to stay home if they are showing symptoms.

By David M. Brown

n December 1974, President Gerald Ford signed the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (RESPA), to ensure that settlement costs are disclosed and all procedures are fair and transparent for loans secured with a mortgage on a one-to-four-family residential property.

RESPA has been overseen and enforced by the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau since 2011.

Equipment protocol: All high-touch points in our trucks including doors, handles, steering wheels, etc. are sanitized frequently. All moving equipment is sanitized after each use.

Office and warehouse protocol: All high-touch points in our office and warehouse are sanitized frequently. All employees are following social distancing recommendations and practicing frequent handwashing and sanitizing.

Q

What happens once items have been moved to a homeowner’s new home?

A

Once their belongings have been moved into their new home, it is up to the customer regarding how much contact the crew has in their new home.

We are still providing reassembly services as well as placement of items in specific rooms per the request of the customer. If the customer feels more comfortable that we simply unload their belongings at their new home, we can do that as well.

Protecting borrowers “RESPA protects borrowers when closing on a real estate transaction and arms them with the proper information to make an educated decision,” said Jim Lee, senior mortgage consultant with On Q Financial. “RESPA requires that borrowers get detailed information about their transaction, settlement services and the laws that protect them.”

“Our goal as real estate professionals should be to educate and empower.”

—Tom Davis, Pioneer Title Agency

Because of the legislation, lenders and settlement providers are accountable for accurate disclosures regarding closing costs, lender servicing and escrow account practices. “Gone are the days of lenders understating fees as a way to entice buyers to use their discounted services only to inflate them later,” said Tom Davis, vice president, Pioneer Title Agency.

Avoiding last-minute surprises “Through RESPA, the consumer is provided disclosures to assist with

comparison shopping to avoid last-minute surprises during closing,” Davis said.

“RESPA requires that information about the settlement process and settlement charges be provided in advance of the settlement.” Lee added that RESPA became increasingly effective after the disclosures portion of the act changed in 2012 following the 2008 nationwide housing meltdown.

Goal is transparency That recent reform shortened timelimits, increased penalties and provided amendments to work toward complete transparency. “Many consumers are overwhelmed during the purchase and financing of their new home. RESPA can lessen the stress with improved disclosures and keep all lenders on an equal field,” Davis said.

Effectiveness through education Davis emphasized, however, that buyers and servicers must partner to ensure the educative goal of the act is successful.

“RESPA is only as effective as folks choose to be informed about it. Therefore, it is important to be more diligent than ever in helping people understand what RESPA is and why it is important in plainspeak,” he said. “Our goal as real estate professionals should always be to educate and empower.”

(MULTIGENERATIONAL HOUSING,

continued from page NH1)

Jones [of Lennar] echoes those observations. “We started out primarily selling to homebuyers with aging parents,” he said. “While this is still the majority of our sales, homebuyers are extremely creative in adapting the space to fit their own personal needs. They may use the space as a music/art studio, teen space, home office, home theater or any other use homeowners can imagine.”

In the past several years, the appeal of multi-gen spaces has expanded to grown children returning home to live with their parents “often immediately after school while they pay off debt or during transition phases like launching a new business,” Peterson [of Shea Homes] said.

“We’ve also seen how the rise of Airbnb has led homeowners to use these extra spaces as an additional source of income.”

Where to find multi-gen homes At Maracay, “we’re continuing to open more communities with multigenerational living features as well as incorporating more options within our Flex Design® program,” Tucker said, “which allows homebuyers to personalize the home to fit their specific preferences. For instance, homebuyers may want to reconfigure a wing of the home into a private generation

suite. We can do that.” Maracay offers its floorplans with casitas and multigenerational living options in eight of its communities in the Valley including Arroyo Seco in Buckeye, Copper Bend in Queen Creek, Deseo in Peoria and Windermere Ranch in Chandler.

Trilogy offers these living options at all four Arizona Trilogy by Shea Homes communities: Trilogy® at Verde River™ near North Scottsdale, Trilogy® at Vistancia® in North Peoria, Encanterra® A Trilogy® Resort Community in the Southeast Valley and Trilogy® at Wickenburg Ranch.

Lennar offers a total of 10 NextGen plans. They’re available in all of Lennar’s single-family communities, while Shea Homes offers its flex rooms at several of its communities including Prelude at Storyrock in Scottsdale, Compass at Recker Pointe in Gilbert, Ascent at Eastmark in East Mesa and Evolve at Cantilena in Peoria.

Tucked away in a quiet enclave of just 19 homes, Preakness Estates features four single-level floorplans with a variety of customizing options. Generously sized homes can include a pool, outdoor fireplace, private courtyard, large covered patio and bedrooms with en-suite baths.
