ASK OUR BROKER By Peter G. Miller

Distressed Homes: Do or Don’t? Question: We’re interested in buying a foreclosure or short sale but there seem to be fewer and fewer of these properties. Are distressed properties still a good investment?

Answer: Some are; some aren’t. No one is buying all distressed properties, they’re just buying a specific property here and there so the investment value of a particular property can only be established by looking at such things as the sale price, the need for repairs, the local sale and rental markets, etc. The National Association of Realtors says that, nationwide, distressed sales are a smaller part of the market, just 10 percent of all existing home transactions in April versus 15 percent a year ago. Discounts still are available; the NAR says in April foreclosures typically sold with 20 percent off, while short-sale buyers were getting 140percent discounts. It’s worth noting that there’s a cascade of discounts generally associated with distressed properties. First, short sales tend to have the smallest discounts because they’re typically occupied. This is important because with vacancies there can be maintenance and vandalism problems. In a sense, short sales are likely – but not always – to be in better shape than foreclosures.

July 10, 2015

Second, there are likely to be bigger discounts when a home is foreclosed and sold at auction. Part of the pricing issue here is the assumption that if the property could have been sold with a short sale that would have happened. Third, if a property is foreclosed, put up for auction and does not sell then the lender takes possession and the property and it becomes “real estate owned” by the lender. REOs are often available at deep discount because the lender doesn’t really want to be in the real estate business, and the property could not be sold at auction. Lastly, it should be mentioned that three factors can produce the largest REO discounts: • The longer a lender has an REO the more likely the discount. Why? The lender does not want to pay for maintenance, security, insurance and taxes. • Weak local markets mean bigger discounts. Because a local market is weak, what choices does a lender have other than to sell at a discount? Of course, weak markets may also suggest substantial risks. • Volume counts. It’s possible to buy REOs in bulk. At one real estate conference I was offered 70-percent discounts if I bought at least 100 units at a time. The question, of course, is whether the properties were worth buying even with such huge price reductions. If you have an interest in short sales, foreclosures and REOs speak with local brokers, settlement attorneys and contractors. Ask about such things as sale and rental trends and whether a specific distressed property might really be a diamond in the rough.

Each and every one of us is an original. Shaped by unique inuences that make us who we are today. Here at Heritage Bank, we think differences can build a better bank, too. That’s why we share the best ideas from across all of our branches and local communities with one goal in mind: to serve our customers better every day. By sharing our strengths, we’re able to offer customers like Mike Morse—and you—more than a community bank. But rather, a community oƒ banks.

According to Leinberger, a family living in a walkable area that can transition from a two-car household to a one-car household can increase their mortgage capacity by as much as $150,000. The panel also pointed to zoning regulations in many major American cities that could be holding back further development. “We’ve been bumping along at 2 percent GDP growth, and we should be at 3.5 percent, and obsolete zoning is what is holding us back,” Leinberger said. “Less than 10 percent of land would need to be rezoned, and that is where 80 percent of the development is going to go.”

BIGGER HOMES ARE BACK

Following years of ‘less is more’, Americans now looking to homes with a bit more space

onsidering the major economic downturn of the last few years and the “getting by with less” mentality that many consumers have adopted, logic dictates that most home shoppers today would seek out smaller domiciles than the McMansions that of yesteryear, before the housing bubble burst. However, the average size of new singlefamily residences has increased 13 percent on a one-year moving average basis between the first quarter of 2010 and the first quarter of 2015, according to recent data from the U.S. Census Bu-

July 10, 2015

reau’s Census Quarterly Starts and Completions by Purpose and Design and an analysis from National Association of Home Builders. What’s more, average square footage for new singlefamily homes rose from 2,677 to 2,736 square feet in the first three months of 2015. These stats run parallel to the findings of a recent Trulia survey that revealed that 43 percent of adults desire a somewhat or much bigger home than their current abode, including more than 60 percent of millennials and more than a quarter of baby boomers. Ralph McLaughlin, a housing economist for Trulia in San Francisco, says he was surprised by two key findings from the survey. “First, more millennials said they wanted to

live a larger home. This is somewhat surprising, especially with all the media attention that the trend in tiny homes has received,” McLaughlin says. “Second, we found that baby boomers were split between wanting larger homes and smaller ones. Again, this is also unexpected because there’s been speculation that a wave of retiring boomers want to downsize (to smaller homes).” However, given the recent economic recovery – which includes both decreasing unemployment and slightly increasing incomes – it’s not exactly a shock that many Americans desire a larger home. “As people get betterpaying jobs, housing is one the many aspects of their lives they look to upgrade,” McLaughlin says. “The desire to have a larger home is natural

for most people, and it’s been part of the American Dream for decades.” Robert D. Dietz, an economics and housing policy analyst for the NAHB, says the recent growth in new-home size also is reflection of the change in buyer composition – with a greater contingent of wealthier and older buyers who are already homeowners – that builders are seeing. “These move-up buyers have made up a greater share of the market in the years after the Great Recession, and the result has been growth in median new home size,” Dietz says. Other factors driving the trend toward larger homes include continued relatively low mortgage interest rates; the desire to have ample space to accommodate boomerang children and aging parents who might

move in, in addition to visitors; and postponed retirement, resulting in a delay in the longing to downsize. While angling toward a larger home is unrealistic for those who can’t afford it, “for many others it makes sense, especially those considering having multiple generations living together,” says Bill Golden, Realtor in Atlanta. To correctly size your next home, it’s important to consider many criteria besides size alone, say the experts. These can include characteristics like school quality, location, proximity to amenities, and price. While it may be tempting to buy the biggest home that your budget allows right now, doing so can potentially bring financial stress down the road. This is because a pricey home involves a

more expensive mortgage, which can be difficult to pay if you experience even a small drop in income; additionally, a larger residence typically comes with higher maintenance and renovation costs. “As such, we recommend that homebuyers be conservative when it comes to estimating the size of the home they can afford,” says McLaughlin. Allison Goodhart, co-lead agent in Alexandria, Virginia, says home seekers should always think several years down the road and not just buy something that fits their needs in that particular moment. “It is better to buy a property that you will be able to stay in if there is a chance you might have another child … or have a parent or adult child who might move in with you,” says Goodhart. 9
