BUYING THE FOREVER HOME TODAY’S MARKET REALITIES AND LOW INTEREST RATES HAVE BUYERS LOOKING FOR THE LONG TERM

ast decade’s housing crisis has left its mark on today’s market. It’s tougher to qualify for a mortgage. And prices don’t escalate as quickly as in the boom years, tempting owners to take profits. As a result, the mindset of many buyers has changed, too. “They are likely to regard a new home as a place to stay put for the longer haul,” observes Lois Vitt, founding director at Institute for Socio-Financial Studies, a financial education and research organization. Stats from the National Association of Realtors show that 25 percent of buyers said they intended to stay in their home 16 or more years, up 5 percent from 2006. In fact, so many people want to buy or remodel and then be done with it, that the term “forever home” has entered the

real estate lexicon, says Baton Rouge, Louisiana, architect Kevin Harris. Taking a long view can provide both psychological and financial benefits, say experts. Here are some reasons why some buyers want their next home to be the last:

a mortgage, leaving the owner debt-free or with a tiny mortgage balance in relation to his home’s value has been a proven route for accumulating wealth. “Nothing has changed that fact, except perhaps a new awareness that home equity should be LOVING THAT LOAN carefully protected as Today’s mortgage rates one would protect other in the low single digits investments,” notes Vitt. may not be seen again for decades. APPRECIATING LIVING “Of course, nobody “For the vast majority, really knows that exact homes represent our largpath forward,” says Mike est single investment,” Schenk, vice president says Harris. “If we’re goof economics and statis- ing to wager hard-earned tics for the Credit Union money, we hope for an National Association, “but attractive return both in when long rates do begin lifestyle and in [price] apto rise, those that have preciation.” locked in low, long-term Of course, different fixed-rate mortgages buyers have different definitely will think twice criteria for what features before moving.” will make a home livable Low-rate love also long term. should curb mortgage Baby boomers, says refinancing. HistoriHarris, don’t like the term cally, slowly paying down “aging in place” but are

concerned with setting “the stage for experiencing life with as much grace as possible.” The semantics differ, but the features that anticipate age-related limitations, like highquality lighting and wide doorways, are the same, Harris notes. For the forever-home seeker of any age, Harris asks questions to identify what needs the home should accommodate, now and later, like: How and where do you relax? What are your childhood memories about what you love in a home? How can you share – and compromise – wants with a partner or other family members?

Negar Souza of Red Oak Realty in the San Francisco area observes: “Many look at homes on larger lots that they could potentially expand … or for homes that have a flexible floor plan.” Buyers looking at turning a now home into a forever one later often consult with architects and city permit officials to ensure that plans are feasible, notes Souza. It’s usually prudent to buy a “for now” home in your desired neighborhood that can be improved than to purchase a more “perfect” home priced within budget but outside a prime location, says Harris. Not only are community and neighborhood vital LEAVING OPTIONS factors in happy long-term As wonderful as it living, but a home’s value would be to have everyis more likely to escalate thing you’ll ever want now, through the years when it it usually isn’t financially isn’t the best property in feasible. the neighborhood, Harris adds.

WHERE HAVE ALL THE LOAN DOCS GONE? Question: We understand that the Good Faith Estimate of closing costs will soon be gone and the same with the Truth in Lending Form and the HUD-1. What happened and do consumers benefit?

Answer: I know this is about to get complicated because government rules, fancy paperwork and lots of arguments are involved, but bear with me, there’s an actual answer to the question and a real advantage with the new forms. Decades ago, in an effort to help buyers, sellers and borrowers better understand real estate transactions, the government passed the Truth in Lending Act (1968) and the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act (1974). From these rules we get the Good Faith Estimate and Truthin-Lending forms, in addition to the HUD-1 we use for settlements.

These forms have been used in tens of millions of transactions, but starting in August they will be replaced with new documents. Here’s what’s expected to happen at this writing: First, the Good Faith Estimate and the initial Truth-inLending disclosure have been combined into a new form, the Loan Estimate. Second, the HUD-1 and final Truth-in-Lending disclosure form will be combined into another new form, the Closing Disclosure. Third, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the new Closing Disclosure form must be “provided to consumers at least three business days before consummation of the loan.” Why the revisions? Over a period of more than 45 years the lending industry has changed. There are a lot of new and very different mortgage products available today when compared with the Vietnam War era. To keep up with the times the forms needed to evolve. Did the forms evolve in the right way? Are the new forms any good? Time will tell. On one side, at least, there is a plain benefit for consumers, the idea that borrowers must be able to see their closing papers three full business days before closing. Under RESPA, settlement providers

have been required to provide preliminary documents 24 hours before closing – but only at the request of the borrower. If there was no request, there were no documents in advance. With the new rule closing surprises will be a thing of the past because there’s no request requirement and the notice period has been tripled. Alternatively, lenders are unlikely to be thrilled with the new paperwork. In particular, the new Loan Estimate form states that by signing the borrower is “only confirming that you have received this form. You do not have to accept this loan because you have signed or received this form.” In other words, borrowers might well go to another lender if they can get a better deal that will be approved before closing. Borrowers have always had this right but now it’s spelled out in plain language and just above where the form is signed. For more information and details, speak with lenders, real estate brokers and closing agents.

Exchanges with a lot to ‘Like’

Like-kind exchanges offer plenty of benefits to property owners and can be a boost to the local economy

n real estate, it does not get much better than a like-kind exchange. The exchanges, which are part of the tax code going back to 1924, allow property owners to defer capital-gains taxes on a property as long as the sale proceeds go toward the purchase of a similar property; the replacement property must be identified within 45 days and the transaction completed within 180 days. Like-kind exchanges aren’t just appealing to real estate investors and propJuly 24, 2015

erty owners, they also can be a boon to the economy, including financial growth and job creation, according to a new report from the National Association of Realtors. The survey of NAR commercial and residential members found that both real estate investors and commercial-property owners highly value like-kind exchange tax rules for conducting their business. Forty percent of respondents said they had real estate transaction that would not have closed with the tax provision; 56 percent said that future projects would have been done on a smaller scale without the exchange. Realtors are actively involved in exchanges, too. Between 2011 and 2015, 63 percent of Realtors participated in a like-kind

NOW COULD BE THE TIME TO SELL A NEW HOME AND EARN A SLICE OF THE REAL ESTATE PIE

exchange transaction. The survey found that of these transactions created between 10 and 35 new jobs, mostly from spending on building improvements following the purchase. The exchanges also are infusing more dollars into local markets, according to respondents. Eighty-six percent said tax deferments allowed their clients to invest in improvements in the newly acquired properties, creating new construction and property management jobs. Residential properties comprised the largest portion of recent deals, accounting for 27 percent of disposed properties and 24 percent of acquired properties, followed by apartments (17 percent of dispositions and 22 percent of acquisitions).

IN PRINT AND ONLINE Record-low interest rates and record-low housing prices are renewing interest in the floundering housing market for many people. “When sellers are interviewing real estate agents to market their homes, their primary focus is usually on the advertising that the agent will offer them,” says Jessica Goodbody of Weichert Realtors.
