We have recently tried to qualify for a mortgage. We know that the new rules allow us to devote as much as 43 percent of our income to housing costs and monthly debts. However, the lender says if our monthly debts exceed 41 percent of our income that it will not give us a loan. How is this possible?

Remodeling Basements

STAT

Finishing a basement can be a smart project, but keep personal enjoyment – not resale value, as a top priority.

HOMES SOLD

Big Opportunities a Few Steps Down

t’s often taken for granted and easy to overlook – literally. If you’re lucky enough to have a basement, however, it can be a bonus space blessing that, once finished, can expand your living space and increase your home’s resale value. Today, most basements that are included in new construction homes are unfinished, and many resale residences also feature unfinished lower levels. The reason often is that “building in the U.S. is relatively inexpensive, and most homes can be overbuilt with large footprints, as relatively few areas outside of urban environments have zoning that limits size,” says Andrew Franz, principal of Andrew Franz Architect in New York City. Additionally, builders have little incentive to finish basements, as the added cost can be a deal-breaker to many buyers on a tight budget, and it’s a risk to assume that the majority of home shoppers plan to use finished basement space in the same way. But investing extra funds to complete a basement –for example, by paneling walls, carpeting floors, adding a drop ceiling, installing plumbing for a downstairs bathroom, and/or implementing walls for an extra bedroom – can pay dividends, if planned and budgeted properly. “A finished basement can be used for many purposes—a TV or media room, a playroom for children, or a rec room for teenagers,” says Connie Mogull, licensed real estate agent with Houlihan Lawrence in Westchester, New York. Lillian Montalto, a broker in Andover, Massachusetts, says this space can also be “perfect for an in-law suite, wine cellar, home office, fitness room or dance studio. The primary benefit is to the homeowner’s enjoyment versus resale value.” Indeed, the return on investment for a finished basement project can vary, depending on your market. According to Montalto, builders and remodeling contractors often charge as little as $35 per square foot to more than $60 per square foot for the work (equating to a project that can cost as little as $10,000 to one that can exceed $100,000). Yet appraisers often place less of a value on lower-level space – from $15 to $50 per square foot. “Appraisers in Denver will tell you that valuation calculations (for basements) are half of what they are for above grade (living space), no matter how the basement is finished,” says Heidi Finn,

Beautiful, large, well maintained newer home in desirable Glenhaven community. Granite countertops, cherry hardwood floors. Enjoy views of the Twin Sisters mountains from the deck. Access to all the Glenhaven amenities; pool, tennis courts, private fishing lake and clubhouse. Master bedroom on main floor, two bedrooms upstairs and a bonus room with closet downstairs. Great room for home theater downstairs. Downstairs is plumbed for wet bar. Independent thermostats for each room. Very motivated seller!

91,340 broker with Denver-based Urban Luxe Real Estate. “Here, homes with basements sell for an average of 20 percent more than homes without. But in most cases, with homes priced under $500,000, there is less than a 10-percent difference between a finished versus an unfinished basement.” The takeaway: Only consider finishing a basement if you plan to use that finished space for your own enjoyment, and don’t anticipate recouping all or even most of the investment dollars when it’s time to sell your home. “I think money can be spent elsewhere for a better return on investment, with the kitchen being the most important room in the house and the master bath the second,” Finn says. “Systems upgrades, a new roof and new windows are other areas where money is also better spent.” Additionally, finishing a basement isn’t a prerequisite investment for the purpose of attracting buyers if you’re planning to sell your home. “Homeowners should consult with a Realtor to find out what, if any, changes can be made to make their homes more salable,” says Sonia Brenner, relocation and luxury homes specialist with RE/MAX Premier in Warren, New Jersey. If you’re determined to spiff out the lower level, get bids from at least three reputable contractors (you can get referrals from real estate agents and friends). Be sure the one you pick is licensed, bonded, and insured, and rated favorably by the Better Business Bureau. Ask for a few references of former clients and if they are able to obtain the necessary permits to do the job in your municipality.

A recent Supreme Court decision invalidates a Skagit Basin Instream Flow rule passed in 2006. The "2006 Rule" explicitly provided water supply for those parts of Skagit and Snohomish Counties that cannot obtain water from existing water systems such as cities, water districts, or public utility districts. With this decision, the water rule governing the Skagit Basin is now the original rule adopted by Ecology in 2001 ("2001 Rule"). The effects of the decision are still being evaluated by Ecology and it is unclear how Ecology, counties, or others will address situations involving homes lawfully built using water supply from the 2006 Rule. It is also unclear how they will evaluate whether legal water supply exists under the 2001 Rule for new building permit and subdivision applications.

Make it uniquely yours

Bringing Indoor Comfort Outside

Mix and match with color and patterns, and personalize your space with accents such as outdoor artwork, planters, umbrellas and more. A smart combination of accessories really transforms an outdoor space from simple to fabulous.

Make Outdoor Space an Extension of Your Home

Be bright, all night

The sun may still be shining when the guests arrive, but you’ll need something to light up the night and keep the party going all evening long. Create a delightful, welcoming atmosphere with a variety of outdoor lighting options, such as string lights, paper lanterns or floating LED candles placed around the patio. Fashion an elegant glow with lanterns in various sizes, such as the lanterns.

resist stains and maintain their color. With this in mind, you can lengthen the lifespan of such materials by covering them when not in use and avoiding prolonged exposure to rain or sun.

Acrylics and Melamine

Outdoor drinkware and dinnerware made of acrylic and melamine provide much of the same great style as their glass counterparts without the breakability. A nice set of acrylic drinkware and melamine dinnerware, such as goblets and dinnerware, will keep your outdoor soiree safe and fun throughout the evening.

Synthetic Rattan and Wicker

Wicker may be the traditional material for outdoor furniture, but this new generation of synthetic wickers and rattans is not your Al fresco entertaining always focuses on food, drinks and grandmother’s porch furniture.

So let the warmth of the season bring many memorable moments to your life and stylish elements into your outdoor spaces.

Serve in style

he arrival of summer, along with its sunny skies and beautiful weather, beckons homeowners to create a space to entertain guests and enjoy the great outdoors. Design an outdoor living room that merges style and function, and incorporates elements of indoor comfort. Whether entertaining for two or 10, the warmer weather provides an abundance of opportunities to lounge in peaceful, open-air surroundings. New offerings in decor and design breathe indoor inspiration into your outdoor spaces, creating a beautiful extension of your home for all to enjoy. “It’s easier than ever to bring the comfort and style of your favorite indoor spaces into your porch, patio and other outdoor areas,” said Aimee Beatty, in-house stylist with Pier 1 Imports. “From comfy throw pillows to trendy rugs, colorful artwork and cheery curtains, new outdoor products boast durability and so much style that your patio will be the neighborhood’s go-to summer hot spot.” Beatty shares some of her stylish secrets to make your outdoor space an elegant living space worth sharing.

Arrange away Treat your outdoor area as you would your living room. If space is limited, use sectionals to create seating in whatever 8

arrangement fits best. If there is more room, add an investment piece, such as the a beachy dining table. This high-quality piece is made from handcrafted, all-weather synthetic rattan and offers plenty of space to arrange chairs just as you would in your dining room. Finish the look by layering your favorite accessories, such as handcrafted trays, detailed lanterns and a colorful floral arrangement to create a cheerful centerpiece that makes your guests feel welcome.

Tie it all together To let you in on a little secret - outdoor rugs tie everything together and really bring a space to life. Simply layer a rug, such as a chic rug, with a beautiful seating collection, colorful cushions and pillows, and you’ve got an outdoor area that makes everyone comfortable and happy.

Embrace the bold Some might be afraid to create a statement outside because it’s outside. But an outdoor living space lends itself to adventures with color and pattern, providing the opportunity to be bold and to go beyond your comfort zone. When shopping for the outdoors, remember - anything goes.
