U.S. Home-seller profits continue rising as home values hit new highs in third quarter ATTOM has released its third-quarter 2023 U.S. Home Sales Report, which shows that profit margins on medianpriced single-family home and condo sales in the United States increased to 59 percent in the third quarter – the second straight quarterly increase following several declines.

The improvement in typical profit margins, from 56.6 percent in the second quarter of 2023, came amid a continued rebound in the U.S. housing market that pushed the median nationwide home price up 2 percent to a new high of $350,000. Both the nationwide profit margin and median home price have increased since an unusual decline from the middle of 2022 to the early part of 2023 that had threatened to reverse a decade-long market boom.

However, even as seller fortunes improved again in the third quarter, the typical investment return nationwide did remain below the 62 percent level recorded in the third quarter of 2022 and a high point of 62.3 percent in the second quarter of last year.

“Prices and profits around the U.S. got another boost over the Summer as the housing market continued recovering from last year’s setbacks,” said Rob Barber, chief executive officer for ATTOM. “Things do remain uncertain heading into the market’s annual Fall slowdown, especially at a time when

mortgage rates are rising again, home affordability is getting tougher and the potential for a recession hangs in the air.

But the latest gains fell in line with what we often see during the third quarter and showed that any predictions of an extended market fallback may have been premature.”

Gross profits on typical single-family home and condo sales across the country also went up during the third quarter of 2023. They rose 5 percent quarterly, to $129,900, and were up 3.2 percent annually.

The continued gains in profits and prices around the U.S., while representing typical growth for a third-quarter period, still came amid a mix of forces that could turn the market up or down over the coming months.

Both measures improved over the Summer as the supply of homes for sale in the U.S. remained historically low. That put upward pressure on prices, which, by extension, helped to push up profits.

But mortgage rates started increasing again in the third quarter, rising toward an average of 8 percent for 30-year fixed loan following a stable second quarter.

Consumer-price inflation also ticked back up after dropping dramatically over the prior year from 9 percent to 3 percent, while the stock market declined and the national unemployment rate rose close to 4 percent.

Profit margins grow quarterly in roughly half the country but remain down annually

Typical profit margins – the percent difference between median purchase and resale prices – increased from the second quarter of 2023 to the third quarter of 2023 in 85 (55 percent) of the 155 metropolitan statistical areas around the U.S. with sufficient data to analyze.

However, they were still down annually in 103, or 66 percent, of those metros as the recent improvements were not enough to wipe out the earlier losses.

That happened as the third-quarter improvement in home prices outpaced smaller increases that recent sellers had been paying when they originally bought their homes. Larger gains at the point of resale translated into higher profit margins.

Metro areas were included if they had sufficient population and at least 1,000 single-family home and condo sales in the third quarter of 2023.

The biggest quarterly increases in typical profit margins came in the metro areas of Scranton, PA (margin up from 72.2 percent in the second quarter of 2023 to 92 percent in the third quarter of 2023); Reading, PA (up from 70.3 percent to 88.5 percent); Flint, MI (up from 66.7 percent to 84.6 percent); Evansville, IN

Does homeownership ruin retirement?

Ten tongue-in-cheek reasons (and six real ones) to rent instead If you’re a retiree, near-retiree, or empty-nester of any age, you’re probably looking forward to your golden years.

Finally, after decades of being beholden to your job, your kids, and the hectic pace of modern life, your time will be your own.

Not so fast, warns Dwellsy CEO and cofounder Jonas Bordo. Even after you’ve bidden your boss adieu and dropped your kids off at college, you’ll still be tied down by…your house.

“Forget about that last-minute weekend getaway—you’ll have to stay home and rake leaves, lest you receive a scolding from your HOA,” says Bordo, coauthor along with Hannah Hildebolt of Everything You Need to Know About Renting But Didn’t Know to Ask: All the Insider Dirt to Help You Get the Best Deal and Avoid Disaster (Matt Holt, August 2023, ISBN: 978-1-6377439-28, $21.95). “And will you really have the energy to start that new woodworking hobby (not to mention the money to buy all the equipment) after you’ve mowed the lawn, mopped the floors, and paid to repair your unreliable HVAC unit?”

Still not convinced? Here are a few more reasons why you might want to kick-start retirement by selling your house and moving into an apartment: • You can finally stop perpetuating the “get off my lawn!” grumpy-old-man stereotype (since it isn’t your lawn after all).

• You can opt out of hosting Thanksgiving. “As much as I would LOVE ten screeching grandchildren running around the house, sorry, there’s no space.” (Insert mournful look here.)

• In an apartment complex, there will be lots more young people around to receive your sage wisdom and casserole recipes…so who cares if your daughterin-law doesn’t want them?

• Getting out of the house where you spent your “responsible adult” years is an excuse to relive your wild, unfettered youth (but this time in more sensible shoes and with more aspirin).

• You’ll have a whole new set of neighbors

(and their drama) to be entertained by.

Be honest—your cul-de-sac’s ongoing feud over holiday decorations got boring before Y2K. • If you fall and can’t get up, your neighbors will be able to hear you calling for help through the walls.

• You’ll be preventing your relationship with your kids from going down the toilet. Sure, they might say that they’ll come over and help you clean out the gutters if you stay in their childhood home, but let’s be honest. It’s not gonna happen, which will leave you no choice but to nag them until they ghost you.

• Finally, an excuse to get rid of your partner’s (and your kids’) junk. “Oh no—the fly-fishing gear you haven’t used in decades won’t fit in this cozy little apartment!” “If you want that diorama you made in sixth grade, you’ll have to take it now—I just won’t have the storage space anymore. I know; I’m sad too.” (Wink, wink!)

• You can conveniently forget to tell anyone you don’t like that you’ve changed your address. As far as annoying ex-coworkers, frenemies, and your brother-in-law (hey, we’re not here to judge!) are concerned, you’ll have vanished into thin air.

• In an apartment complex, you’ll practically have your own personal tech support service. Does your tablet keep crashing? Just ask the elevenyear-old down the hall for help.

Okay, okay—clearly, this list is tonguein-cheek. But Bordo says there are just as many legitimate reasons for seniors to consider moving into an apartment community.

“Our culture has this idea that moving from owning to renting is taking a step back, but for many people—retirees chief among them—renting is a smart choice,” he explains. “Renting gives you flexibility and freedom. With more time and money—not to mention less stress and fewer stairs—you can focus on creating a truly enjoyable retirement.”

So—don’t wait too long to shed your albatross of a house. Here are some of the benefits awaiting you once you exchange your mortgage for a rent payment: You’ll save money. Depending on where you live, your rent payment might be significantly less than your mortgage payment. (Plus, no more HOA fees, property taxes, and homeowner’s insurance!) You’ll be spending less on utilities and upkeep, too. And finally, if a

Transitioning from Military to Real Estate

BY SHERIKA DYER, REALTOR AT KELLER WILLIAMS BALLANTYNE-AREA Transitioning from active-duty military service to a career in real estate presents a remarkable shift, blending discipline, leadership, and adaptability into the vibrant real estate profession.

As veterans seek new paths postservice, real estate stands out as an exciting and viable career option due to

By Sherika Dyer its versatility and potential for personal growth. They can also capitalize on their unique skills, determination, and commitment gained during their military tenure, allowing for a seamless and promising shift into a dynamic industry. The journey from structured military life to the dynamic real estate sector is both challenging and rewarding. It demands a reorientation of skills, a leap into the unknown, and an unyielding drive to succeed. From my own personal journey, from military to real estate, I have listed a few steps that I took to ensure I was prepared to excel in my new role.

Step 1: Education and Licensing Embarking on this journey necessitates acquiring the essential knowledge and

Look into the courses and examinations necessary to obtain a real estate license.

Step 2: Networking and Mentorship Leverage the skill set acquired during military service to build relationships in the real estate industry. Seek mentorship opportunities with experienced agents.

Engaging with veteran real estate associations or networking events might provide invaluable connections and insights.

Step 3: Utilize Transferable Skills Your military experience has equipped you with invaluable traits—discipline, teamwork, leadership, and adaptability.

Utilize these skills in your real estate career. Adaptability, especially, will be key in navigating the constantly evolving real estate market.

Step 4: Understand the Market Get to know the real estate landscape in Charlotte. Research neighborhoods, market trends, property values, and the local housing market. Understanding the dynamics of the city will give you an edge in client interactions and negotiations.

Step 5: Develop a Business Plan Create a business plan that outlines your goals, target market, marketing strategies, and financial projections. A well-thought-out plan will guide your actions and set the course for a successful real estate career.

true spirit of adaptability, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of success in new, uncharted territory. Embrace the challenge, learn voraciously, and above all, enjoy the thrill of this new adventure. As veterans move from military service to a real estate career, they find themselves in a vibrant market brimming with opportunities. Veterans possess an array of skills that seamlessly translate into the world of real estate.

The discipline, leadership, and problemsolving abilities honed during military service complement the multifaceted demands of the real estate profession. Their adaptability, an essential trait in the military, becomes an invaluable asset in an ever-changing real estate market.

This transition, although challenging, is filled with promise. Armed with a solid plan, essential skills, and a can-do attitude, veterans can carve a successful and rewarding career path.

CBRE arranges sale of 107,545-SF Three Water Ridge in Charlotte

LISC Launches Second Charlotte Affordable Housing Fund CBRE has arranged the sale of Three

Water Ridge, a 107,545-square-foot office building in Charlotte, North Carolina.

Perkins Fund, LP purchased the property from AEW Capital Management, LP. CBRE’s Patrick Gildea, Matt Smith, Grayson Hawkins and Robert Hardaway represented the seller in the transaction.

“There are pockets of strength in the Charlotte office market, particularly in class A product.” said Gildea. “The Airport submarket has separated itself from other suburban markets by proving its resilience, posting some of the strongest absorption figures in the market over the last 3 years, behind only the CBD and Midtown.”

The five-story building is located at 2118 Water Ridge Parkway in the I-77 Corridor submarket, proximate to Yorkmont Road, West Tyvola Road and Charlotte Douglas International Airport. Built in 1991 and renovated in 2018, Three Water Ridge provides direct access to Water Ridge Parkway and was 100% occupied to a single tenant at the time of the sale.

“We are thrilled to invest again in the Charlotte market as a whole and specifically in Three Water Ridge,” said Andy English, General Partner, Perkins Fund. “AEW, along with their property management team from Foundry, have done an outstanding job managing and maintaining the property over the years, which only reinforces our opinion that this property has a strong future.”

Fundamentals improved in Charlotte’s office market in the third quarter according to CBRE Research. Over 647,000 square feet of leasing activity was recorded in the quarter, with several notable deals being signed in the Uptown submarket.

Nearly 3.1 million square feet of office space was under construction at the end of the second quarter and overall average asking rates remained steady, increasing less than 1% quarter-over-quarter to $33.46 per square foot.

Staff report

As the affordable housing gap continues to widen in Charlotte, the Charlotte office of Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC Charlotte) announces the launch of the second iteration of the Charlotte Housing Opportunity Investment Fund (CHOIF II). The funding will support both new construction and existing affordable housing developments. Building upon the success of CHOIF I, CHOIF II welcomes a $5 million investment from new partner, First Citizens Bank, joining commitments from existing partners Ally, Duke Energy and Fifth Third Bank.

Launched in 2019, Foundation For The Carolinas (FFTC) alongside LISC Charlotte raised $53 million in investments for CHOIF I from partners such as Ally, Bank of America, Truist and Wells Fargo. To date, CHOIF I has supported more than 1,500 units of affordable housing for Charlotte families. Nearly 95 percent of the units are affordable to households earning 80 percent or less of the area median income ($75,350 for a family of four), and the homes must remain affordable

for 20-30 years.

CHOIF II, like CHOIF I, will work closely with the City of Charlotte, to align with the city’s shared objective of increasing both the quality and quantity of affordable housing options, thereby fostering economic mobility within the community. Fifth Third Bank was the first to commit to the fund, catalyzing investments from original partners Ally Charitable Foundation and Duke Energy, and new partner First Citizens Bank. The partnership between LISC and First Citizens Bank also represents the first investment of its kind for the Bank.

“We are proud to partner with LISC, an organization with such deep roots and connections in the Charlotte community.

We strongly feel that our organizations are aligned in our steadfast commitment to affordable housing and are excited for what we can accomplish together,” said Mike Atkinson, senior director of community development at First Citizens Bank.1 The $5M investment is part of the First Citizen’s $16B community benefits plan, announced in 2021. This five-year plan will reinvest into lowand moderate-income communities of color, by catalyzing affordable housing creation, small business lending, and community development.

CHOIF II pools capital in the form of grants, equity, and low-interest debt to make investments in and loans to developers seeking to preserve or provide affordable housing to families in Charlotte. The fund’s primary emphasis will be on mixed-income, multi-family rental developments, targeting families with incomes ranging from 30% and 120% of Area Median Income (AMI).

CHOIF II will be managed by LISC Fund Management, LLC, an affiliate of LISC. “We are thankful investors trust in our mission and dedication to maintaining the integrity of the process to oversee the CHOIF capital. LISC and CHOIF are committed to serving a broad range of residents, from restaurant workers to early career teachers facing the challenge of affording Charlotte’s high rents,” said Ralphine Caldwell, executive director of LISC Charlotte.

“We are proud that developers have embraced our partnership with the City of Charlotte that created a one-stop-shop

with a request for proposal (RFP) that aligns with both the City’s and LISC’s criteria.”

Establishing strategic partnerships plays a crucial role in fulfilling the fund’s long-term mission. For instance, CHOIF’s partnership with the City of Charlotte’s Housing Trust Fund offers developers streamlined access to multiple forms of capital aligned with a common mission. Simultaneously, LISC, working alongside its funding partners, can provide developers with the necessary capital to bring their projects to fruition. This approach leads to the creation of affordable homes, enabling residents to save extra funds and achieve greater financial mobility.

“We are inspired by the continued commitment from our existing partners to CHOIF II and excited to warmly welcome First Citizens as a new supporter.” said George Ashton, president of LISC Fund Management.

“Together, along with future partners, we can change the future of Charlotte towards a place where residents and families can thrive and grow.”

58% of Americans say they’d consider post-retirement employment to seek personal fulfillment Over half (58%) of Americans (64% of Baby Boomers and Gen Xers) may be in the job market post-retirement, and are open to working indefinitely – but the reasons aren’t purely financial according to new research from Empower. Wouldbe working retirees are motivated by values like personal fulfillment (41%) and having a sense of purpose (37%), just as much as potential financial needs (40%).

People remain concerned by economic factors that could impact their financial futures like inflation (52%), running out of money (51%), and unexpected expenses (49%). Overall, respondents point to having a 401(k) account as the top way to save for retirement (56%), followed by stocks (35%) and a traditional savings account (34%). According to Empower data, for people ages 60 to 65, the average 401(k) account balance is $198,194.* Workplace savings, such as a 401(k), are one important component of long-term financial health — alongside retirement income, including Social Security, and a person’s overall net worth.

MARGENAU: Mailbag Hodgepodge I usually like to have a theme to my columns. For example, I might write a column that centers on widow’s benefits. Or another column might explain the Social Security disability program. But today, I’m just going to reach into my mailbag (well, actually I’m opening up my email folder) and I’m just going to answer random questions.

Q: I was planning to start my Social Security benefits when I reach my full retirement age in November 2023. But a friend told me I could collect up to six months in retroactive benefits. I’ve done the math and even though I would get as slightly smaller monthly rate, the big back pay check I’ll get more than makes up for that. So how do I set this up?

A: Sorry, but you won’t be able to set anything up -- as far as retroactive benefits.

Why? Because the law doesn’t allow the payment of retroactive benefits before your full retirement age.

And as long as I’m on the topic of retroactivity, I’m always puzzled by those who choose that option after reaching full retirement age. Here is an example. Let’s say Alice, whose full retirement age is 66, was going to start her Social Security at age 70 in October 2023. But when she filed for benefits, she learned she could take the option of up to 6 months in retroactive benefits. So, she jumped at the chance to get that big retroactive check, even though it would mean a slightly smaller ongoing monthly benefit rate. In effect, it would be as if Alice chose April 2023 (six months before October) as her starting month.

Of course, Alice can do whatever she wants. So why am I puzzled? Well, if Alice wanted April to be her starting month, why didn’t she file for benefits in April? Why did she let the government hang on to her money for 6 months, and then file for those benefits in October and get the money back -- without interest? Oh well, I guess it’s just the idea of that big retroactive check that is so tempting.

But to repeat the point I made at the start of this answer: no retroactive benefits can be paid prior to your full retirement age.

Q: I am planning to file for my Social Security in December, when I reach my full retirement age. My 67-year-old wife has been getting her own, and much smaller, Social Security benefit since she was 62. She will be due a little extra money in spousal benefits on my account. In a prior column, you said that a guy has to be getting benefits before his wife can file on his record. So, does that mean I have to wait until I have been getting a Social Security check for a month or two before my wife can file for spousal benefits?

A: No, it doesn’t mean that. Your wife can file for spousal benefits at the very same time that you file for your retirement benefits.

In the prior column you mentioned, I think I was answering a guy who asked this question. “My wife is turning 62 and is filing for her Social Security. I plan to wait until I turn 70 in a few years before I file for mine. Can she file for spousal benefits on my record now?” And I told him no. I said she can’t get anything on your record until you are getting benefits yourself. And by saying that I was just trying to tell him that his wife can’t get anything on his record until he is eligible for benefits himself. I didn’t mean to imply that he had to have an actual Social Security check in his hand before she could file on his account.

Q: I was planning to file for Social Security in March 2024. But I also want to get the benefits of the 2024 cost-of-living increase of 3.2%. Do I have to be getting benefits in 2023 in order to get the 2024 COLA increase?

A: No. You’ll get the 2024 COLA no matter when you file for benefits. If you were getting benefits in 2023, you’d get the COLA increase in January 2024. If you don’t file for benefits until sometime in 2024, the 3.2% increase will just be figured into your benefit computation formula.

Q: All of my older friends are getting widow’s benefits. I also am a widow. But I don’t get any of my husband’s Social Security because my own benefit is more than his was. This doesn’t seem fair.

A: Well, the law has always said that when you are potentially due benefits from

two different Social Security accounts, you get the one the pays the higher rate. Your career earnings must have been higher than your husband’s because your Social Security benefit was higher than his was.

Perhaps you are advocating that you should get both your own Social Security benefit plus a widow’s benefit on your husband’s account. I’ve heard this proposal made many times over the years. But I’ve always responded with this point. If you should be allowed to get benefits on two accounts, why shouldn’t everyone? For example, should I be allowed to get my own Social Security benefit plus a husband’s benefit on my wife’s record? And then for that matter, should my wife get her own Social Security benefit plus a wife’s benefit on my record? Also, we have a friend who is a fairly well-to-do widower who gets a very generous Social Security retirement benefit.

Should he be allowed to get that and also receive a widower’s benefit on his deceased wife’s account? My goodness. If Social Security had always paid these double benefits to everyone, the system would have gone belly up many years ago!

One final point to help other readers understand the rules. When I said you get

the benefit that pays the higher rate if you are due benefits on two accounts, a better way to phrase that would be to say you get an amount equal to the higher benefit.

For example, if one of your friends was due $1,200 on her own account and $2,000 in widow’s benefits, she would be paid her own $1,200 retirement benefit and then she would get $800 in widow’s benefits to take her total benefits up to her husband’s $2,000 rate. She ends up getting one monthly check for $2,000 and probably doesn’t even realize that on the Social Security Administration’s books, it’s coming off of two accounts.

GOLDMAN: Snoozing your way to success You’re late.

I’ve been waiting, like forever, for you to read this week’s column. And now you finally arrive, full of excuses. You were up half the night and overslept, and you were so tired this morning that you couldn’t get your real work done. (As if reading this column wasn’t real work.)

Whatever excuse you make, whatever reprimand you expect, I have a surprise for you.

I’m not mad; I’m glad.

The ability to sleep through the workday is the No. 1 skill you need for business success. After all, it’s not the work you avoid that gets you into trouble; it’s the work you do.

Which brings me to an eye-opening message I recently received from SleepFoundation.org. Titled “Sleepless Nights: How to Function on No Sleep,” the email focuses on how to look like you’re ready to work when you’re really ready for bed.

“There are certain actions you can take,” authors Jay Summer and Dr. Nilong Vyas suggest, “to help you stay up after a sleepless night and remain alert enough to get through work.”

I say, change “you can take” to “you can avoid” and you’ve got a real chance to sleep all night and sleep all day, as well. I call it a snooze-snooze. You’ll call it a win-win.

No. 1: Healthy Meals Those who want to stay awake are advised to eat a breakfast high in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, seafood, grains and nuts. There’s nothing wrong with these choices, except for being depressing and disgusting, as long as you top off your healthy breakfast with a pint or three of Chubby Hubby.

The “initial energy boost” from the ice cream will get you safely to the office and then fade away, leaving you

ready, willing and completely able to doze the morning away.

(Medical warning: Eating large quantities of ice cream can give you a condition called Brain Freeze, which may not be covered by your company’s medical insurance. Check with HR. If their brains are frozen, you’re OK.) No. 2: Strategically Use Caffeine Science tells us that “ingesting caffeine can potentially improve physical performance and enhance cognitive ability.”

Ingesting caffeine at work produces high levels of coffee snobbery, resulting in endlessly annoying office bickering about growing regions, slurry agitation and how anyone who uses a blade instead of a burr grinder should be shot.

Solve the problem by treating everyone to the foul brew you make at home. If that doesn’t kill coffee drinking in your office, nothing will.

No. 3: Avoid Driving If You Are Too Sleepy Don’t drive drowsy! The goal is to be awake and alert on your morning commute and then fall asleep the minute you get to work.

I recommend scheduling early morning meetings with your manager.

As they ramble on about how hard they work, and how no one appreciates how difficult their job is, and whether they should buy a BMW i7 or a MercedesMaybach EQS 680, you will find yourself drifting off to dreamland.

Do try to end the meeting before you lose consciousness. The workday will be over by the time your manager realizes you are sound asleep, and being found totally comatose by the night crew is not a good look.

No. 4: Stay Active Exercise is something the career sleepyhead must avoid.

When your co-workers start their

in the third quarter of last year. Still, it remained just a tiny fraction of the 30 percent peak this century hit in early 2009 during the aftermath of the Great Recession of 2007.

Among metropolitan statistical areas with sufficient data, those areas where REO sales represented the largest portion of all sales in the third quarter of 2023 included Flint, MI (6.2 percent); Macon, GA (5.8 percent); Hilo, HI (4.1 percent); Lansing, MI (3.4 percent); and Chicago, IL (3.3 percent).

(up 27 percent); Santa Rosa, CA (up 27 percent); Truckee, CA (up 24 percent) and Santa Cruz, CA (up 21 percent).

The top 40 longest average tenures among sellers in the third quarter of 2023 were in the Northeast or West regions of the U.S. They were led by Barnstable, MA (13.84 years); Bridgeport, CT (12.79 years); Norwich, CT (12.59 years); Santa Rosa, CA (12.58 years) and Boston, MA (12.56 years).

The smallest average tenures among third-quarter sellers were in Provo, UT (6.44 years); Austin, TX (6.46 years); Crestview-Fort Walton Beach, FL (6.47 years); Oklahoma City, OK (6.57 years) and Lakeland, FL (6.57 years).

Lender-owned foreclosure sales remain near low point since 2000

Home sales following foreclosures by banks and other lenders represented just 1.4 percent, or one of every 73 U.S. single-family home and condo sales in the third quarter of 2023. That was down from 1.5 percent in the second quarter of 2023, although up from 1.1 percent

Cash sales up

Nationwide, all-cash purchases accounted for 36.6 percent of singlefamily home and condo sales in the third quarter of 2023. That was up slightly from 36.4 percent in the second quarter of 2023 and up from 35.2 percent in the third quarter of last year.

“The level of cash sales has inched up over the past year as mortgage rates in the U.S. have continued their march higher, now close to an average of 8 percent for a 30-year loan,” Barber said.

“If rates keep rising, that should continue creating favorable conditions for more all-cash deals.”

Among metropolitan areas with

day with a trip to a gym or a yoga class, explain that you have serious and totally untreatable phantom joint pain that makes it impossible for you to leave your desk. If you have to spend the day ouching and moaning, it’s a small price to pay for the sympathy you will receive.

The downside with this strategy is that you will be bombarded with advice on how to stretch and where to apply heat, ice and tapioca pudding.

When this becomes intolerable, complain to HR. The scorn and humiliation you face for not loving Pilates is definitely workplace abuse.

No. 5: Power Nap A power nap lasting between 10 and 20 minutes “helps people feel less sleepy, improves memory and helps regulate emotions.”

A power nap eight hours long will erase all memories of what you were supposed to do at work that day and generate emotions of pure joy as you wake up to discover you have slept the workday away and got paid for it, too.

And now that you’ve reached the end of this column, you should start a power nap. It could be my writing, but you’re looking really sleepy.

Institutional investors nationwide accounted for 5.9 percent, or one of every 17 single-family home and condo purchases in the third quarter of 2023.

Among metropolitan areas with sufficient FHA-buyer data, those with the highest levels of sales to FHA purchasers in the third quarter of 2023 included Merced, CA (25.3 percent); Lakeland, FL (24.3 percent of all sales); Bakersfield, CA (22.9 percent); Yuma, AZ (20.5 percent) and Visalia, CA (20.1 percent)).

Financial Gender Disparities Deepen: Women Face Widening Retirement Gap LIAM GIBSON | WEALTH OF GEEKS According to Bank of America’s 2023 Financial Life Benefits Impact Report, on average, men have a 401(k) account balance of $89,000 — 50% more than the average woman’s sum of $59,000.

Besides the pay gap and the wealth gap, women have another financial hurdle to clear. Call it the “retirement gap” that widens as women approach their golden years.

Unfortunately, the report shows fear of “the gap” seems most pronounced as women approach the leap from the world of work into retired life.

A recent Fidelity report shows American women appear increasingly less confident about their retirement prospects, and it gets worse the closer they get to retirement. About 46% of boomer women don’t think they’ll ever be financially prepared enough to retire, compared to 32% for Gen X, 19% for millennials, and 10% for Gen Z. Other alarming findings include the out-oftouch views on healthcare costs. The average woman will need $165,000 for health care expenses in retirement, but female respondents anticipated needing only $98,900.

All told, financial barriers threaten to take the shine off women’s golden years.

Understanding the root causes of older women’s worries about retirement funding and the challenges of estimating healthcare budgets is essential. As well as shining a light on the encouraging progress made in women’s preparedness, retirement advisors aim to equip more women with the tools and frameworks they need to secure their post-work future.

Under-Confident?

Confidence levels don’t always track with actual savings levels. While nearly half of boomer women feel underprepared, most younger generations feel assured they can reach their retirement goals. The data points to moderate progress, which gives cause for cautious optimism.

Fidelity found that, despite the apparent trailing confidence levels, the retirement savings gap between the genders has narrowed somewhat in the last few years. In 2023, 68% of women

RETIREMENT FROM PAGE 2 pipe bursts, you won’t be the one paying the plumber. “Hey, maintenance, I have a problem in 14B…” You’ll have fewer chores. As an apartment-dweller, yardwork and upkeep will be a thing of the past. And while you won’t be leaving chores behind altogether, you will have fewer square feet to vacuum and declutter. Which means…

You’ll have (so much) more time.

Instead of spending every weekend maintaining your house, you can finally pick up a hobby, travel, tackle the stack of books that’s been on your shelf forever, or just take a nap.

are saving for retirement, compared with 77% of men. In 2019, 66% of women were saving for post-work life, compared with 82% of men.

Further action is needed to close the remaining gap. While everyone needs to prepare for retirement, a range of factors make it even more urgent for women than for men.

“Women tend to outlive men, underearn men, spend more time outside the workforce caring for others, and invest more conservatively than men, all of which put more demands on what a retirement portfolio must deliver to be successful,” says Angela Dorsey, CFP, MBA and founder of Dorsey Wealth Management.

Moving in and out of the workforce can have harmful consequences.

“They [women] are less likely to have access to an employer sponsored retirement plan,” says Marguerita Cheng, Founder of Blue Ocean Global Wealth.

For partnered female clients, Cheng advises clients on the benefits of a spousal IRA or Roth IRA, which can help make up the gap in savings.

“For individuals who are selfemployed, I also work with clients and their tax advisors to implement a small business retirement plan (SEP IRA, SIMPLE IRA, SINGLE K),” Cheng adds.

A More Aggressive Approach

It’s no secret that healthcare costs for retirees are rising fast.

By some estimates, a 65-year-old retiring in 2023 can expect to spend an average of $157,500 in medical costs

over a roughly two-decade retirement.

In 2002, that figure was $80,000, almost half the total sum.

Healthcare is highly personal, and budgeting must take an individual’s needs into account.

“In my practice, we guide our female clients in building a more accurate picture of healthcare expenses in retirement.

This involves considering factors such as long-term care, Medicare gaps, and the potential for chronic conditions,” says Christopher Clepp, President at Building Towards Wealth. “By building these costs into their retirement strategy early on, we aim to reduce the stress and uncertainty that comes with healthcare planning.”

Raising awareness of the retirement gap and its hidden causes is paramount.

By shining a light on the creeping injustices of the pay gap and other gender-based hurdles, more can be done to seek justice for women’s retirement.

Also, by taking more active steps to prepare for retirement at an earlier age, individual women can do their part to turn the tide and take the initiative to forge their financial future, alone or with the support of experienced financial professionals.

The amenities are great. When Bordo says “apartment,” he isn’t talking about the bare-bones, outdated unit you rented when you were fresh out of college. Right now, near-record numbers of apartment communities are being built, and many of them are seriously upscale. Swimming pools, pickleball courts, a state-of-the-art gym, maybe even a laundry service— these could be at your fingertips every day. (“Plus, have you seen the interiors of some of these new apartments?” Bordo asks.

“When they say ‘luxury,’ they mean it.”)

You’ll have a built-in community.

Naysayers decry the relatively close quarters of apartment living, but this doesn’t have to be a negative. Whether

you simply say hello to people in the lobby or make it your mission to get to know everyone on your floor, you’ll be part of a community. The older we get, the more important it is to stay part of social groups!

You can (finally) live where you want. Maybe that’s closer to your grandkids. Maybe that’s in a beloved vacation destination. Maybe it’s in the walkable center of the city, or as far from suburbia as you can get. The point is— it’s your choice! And for the first time in a while, you won’t have to consider school districts or your commute.

“Forget all the negative stereotypes you’ve heard about apartment living,”

Bordo concludes. “Transitioning from homeownership to renting is all about improving your quality of life. And on that note, here’s one last tip to make sure you don’t regret your decision: Do your research.

“Apartment-hunting is more complex and competitive than it used to be, and unwary renters of all ages can misunderstand the search process, be blindsided with hidden fees, or even fall victim to scammers,” he says. “But if you educate yourself on how to search for available rentals, spot red flags, and deal with landlords, you can find a retirement rental you’ll love.”

Staff report

Part of the problem could be conservative portfolio allocation. Women could lose out from under-exposure to stocks and high-risk, high-growth assets.

“Too many women like to have their money in cash and CDs,” says Dorsey.

“This has been my experience with my female clients, where I must continuously educate them about the risks and rewards of investing more aggressively.”

“Women need … a well-diversified portfolio with an appropriate amount of equities so that their investments will grow to a sufficient amount to support a successful retirement,” she adds.

For most workers, it pays to be deep in stocks early to mid-career. Volatile equities typically deliver higher growth when held over the long term. At age 30 or 40, the average worker has decades to recover if a market crash cuts their portfolio in half. A defensive pivot makes sense as retirement comes into view, usually involving an increased allocation of bonds, gold, and other wealthpreserving assets.

Following the expiration of the statutory upset bid period, all the remaining amounts are immediately due and owing.

Pursuant to N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.30, if the highest bidder at the sale, resale, or any upset bidder fails to comply with its bid upon the tender of a deed for the real property, or after a bona fide attempt to tender such a deed, the clerk of superior court may, upon motion, enter an order authorizing a resale of the real property. The defaulting bidder at any sale or resale or any defaulting upset bidder is liable for the bid made, and in case a resale is had because of such default, shall remain liable to the extent that the final sale price is less than the bid plus all the costs of any resale. Any deposit or compliance bond made by the defaulting bidder shall secure payment of the amount, if any, for which the defaulting bidder remains liable under N.C. Gen. Stat. § 45-21.30.

Stat. § 45- 21.16(b) (2)]. If the trustee is unable to convey title to this property for any reason, the sole remedy of the purchaser is the return of the deposit. Reasons of such inability to convey include, but are not limited to, the filing of a bankruptcy petition prior to the confirmation of the sale and reinstatement of the loan without the knowledge of the trustee. If the validity of the sale is challenged by any party, the trustee, in their sole discretion, if they believe the challenge to have merit, may request the court to declare the sale to be void and return the deposit. The purchaser will have no further remedy.
