n Sonoma County’s desirable great northwest, real estate prices are still rising, even while middle income homes are more difficult to find.

Rick Laws, Senior Vice President of Sonoma County for Pacific Union Real Estate, compiles extensive data on real estate sales and says the increase in prices and decrease in overall transactions are simply “the law of supply and demand.”

Laws says that the small communities in northern and western

“There are a lot of opinions about housing affordability but there’s only one set of facts; supply and demand.”

Rick Laws

Sonoma County tend to grow at a slower rate than the larger cities like Santa Rosa, and “the inventory is just not there.”

North county Take Cloverdale, for example.

Laws points out that due to its distance from the Bay Area and job centers, Cloverdale “has tended to be priced lower than other north county properties, but that inventory has been sucked up by demand for affordable housing.”

According to Laws’ data, so far in 2017 (through August) there were 93 transactions in Cloverdale, down 17 percent from the same time period in 2016.

Those homes and farms sold for more money, with a median price of $525,000 vs. $477,5000 a year ago, and they stayed on the market an aver-

age of 55 days, vs. 77 days in 2016.

Elsewhere in the north county, the Healdsburg median price went up 2.6 percent, from $866,500 to $888,750. The number of transactions in Healdsburg was relatively flat, with 213 so far this year and 209 in the same time period in 2016.

Healdsburg homes stayed on the market barely longer this year, an average of 142 days vs. 141 days last year.

In Windsor, home sales were barely down, 195 so far this year vs.

198 for the same time period in 2016.

The median sale price went up 2.6 percent, from $561,200 to $596,000 while days on the market showed a fast sales pace this year of 49, vs. 60 days on the market average last year.

Is it time to make the leap into home ownership?

Tips to prepare your budget before buying a home

I

It’s virtually impossible to know what size home you can afford if you aren’t fully aware of how much money you are earning and how much you are spending each month.

Start with your income: How much do you bring home after taxes and retirement plan contributions?

Next, look at your expenses: What are the most necessary expenses?

How much are you paying each month toward your debt? What additional expenses do you have that wouldn’t be deemed “necessary?”

How much money do you have left (if any)?

This will help you see how much breathing room is in your current budget, what expenses might be on the chopping block and the space you have for additional home and mortgage expenses when buying a home.

Consider the potential costs of being a homeowner While rent payments are generally straightforward and predictable, the same can’t always be said for home ownership costs. Your situation can vary depending on a variety of factors, but here are a few things you might need to prepare your budget for.

Property taxes: The amount you pay will depend on the area in which you are purchasing a home.

This means you could pay hundreds of dollars extra every month — thousands over the life of the loan — until you pay off the entirety of the loan.

If you obtain a conventional loan with PMI, you can put as little as three percent down. Like an FHA loan, PMI fees are generally factored into your monthly mortgage payment.

However, PMI can often be canceled once you have established 20 percent equity in the home and/or the principal balance of the mortgage is scheduled to reach 78 percent of the home's original value.

This means that the rest of your mortgage payments will not include any extra fees, so that your payments go down in time, saving you money each month. What you save in the long run can then be put toward expenses like home renovations, which can further increase your home's value.

Mortgage Insurance is a good thing because it bridges the divide between a low down payment and mortgage approval. But not all MI is created equal. If you want to buy a home but still save in the long run, PMI might be the right option for you. Check out lowdownpaymentfacts.org to learn more.

HOUSING: Continued from Page 1 West county Sebastopol showed similar trends, with 160 transactions so far this year, down 3.6 percent from 166 last year.

Homes in Sebastopol stayed on the market an average of 61 days this year, similar to last year, which was 64. The median in Sebastopol went up 4.5 percent, from $854,571 to $892,600.

The Russian River area followed the trend, with sales down 10.2 percent, 168 so far this year vs. 187 last year.

The median price was up 7 percent, rising from $400,000 to $428,000, and the days on the market figure was down, 58 days for this year and 65 for last year.

Laws said interest from buyers in Marin and the Bay Area will keep pressure on prices, especially when you consider that the largest increase in home sales are in the $1-2 million price range. “These prices might seem high to us, but for someone from San Mateo, everything in Sonoma County is on sale; to them these are screaming good deals.�

Laws said that as long as the supply of affordable housing is constrained, prices will keep climbing. “What used to be $500,000 is now selling at $600,000; what used to be $600,000 is now at $700,000,� he said. “There are a lot of opinions about housing affordability but there’s only one set of facts; supply and demand.�

LookINg foR youR DREaM HoME? — With housing inventory not keeping up with demand, prices for homes in the smaller communities in Sonoma County are rising each year.

This fall, give your home upgrades staying power floor, ceiling and counter surfaces make a big difference in your home environment

F

all can be the perfect time for homeowners to complete projects that busy summer schedules didn't allow.

It's also a great time to look at ways to add lasting value to your property. This season, upgrade cheap fixes, freshen dated looks and incorporate lasting improvements in your home. Changes that can bring impact and also increase the resale potential of your home include: Lose the linoleum Linoleum has been popular in many homes since the 1950s, but these days it's not the only flooring option for durability and waterproofing in areas like the kitchen and bath. Wood-look tile has become

hugely popular, and the style isn't going anywhere. Retailers carry an array of wood-look porcelain tile, vinyl and engineered flooring products that are versatile, water- and stain-resistant and fit with any decor.

Upgrade laminate countertops Particleboard and laminate are affordable options, but not ones that will create impact in the kitchen.

These days the options are vast for elevating countertops with butcher block, quartz, marble, concrete and more. Create a cohesive look with countertops matched to the cabinets.

Updating hardware can also be an economical way to freshen the space and tie the look together.

Scrape popcorn ceilings Common in many homes because they're easy to apply, popcorn ceilings are often one of the first things a new homebuyer wants to change. If you're looking to sell, scraping the popcorn in favor of a smooth look may win over prospective buyers. Always test popcorn ceilings for asbestos before you start.

Rethink wallpaper Wallpaper had its day, but many new homeowners want it gone — and that's not always an easy update.

Save the headache now and later and opt for neutral paint styles while bringing interest and color with your decor. Whites and neutral paints for walls and trim brighten a space and

make it appear bigger.

Nix wall-to-wall carpeting Many homeowners can't wait to get rid of old, dirty and dated carpets in favor of the quality, reliability and beauty of hardwood and wood-look floors.

Now there are a variety of hardwoods, bamboo and wood-look flooring styles to choose from, and it's possible to achieve the look of hardwood at an accessible price point.

The best part of making improvements like these now is that homeowners can enjoy them all winter long, and far beyond. And you'll increase the odds the next generation will love your home, too.

Try these 7 upgrades before selling your home Projects you can do in a weekend that will wow potential buyers

A

nyone who’s ever bought or sold a home knows how little things can sway a buyer to feel a particular house is “just right.”

While major features such as a good location, a big kitchen, and a certain number of bedrooms and bathrooms all drive a home’s price and how attractive it is to buyers, small details like fresh paint and new faucets can also help clinch a sale.

When you’re trying to sell your home, you should be willing to spend some money on repairs and improvements to help boost the sale price.

The good news is that you don’t have to spend a lot to make a big impact if you invest in key quality details. Here are seven “little things” you can do to help make your home more appealing to buyers, and possibly get a better price — and you can accomplish them in just a weekend: Upgrade your kitchen faucet and sink The kitchen faucet and sink aren’t just practical tools every kitchen needs — they can also be essential elements of a room’s overall design and appeal. Replacing a dated kitchen faucet is a minor change that can mean a lot to homebuyers.

In addition to modern styling, you’ll get four spray functions and a convenient pause feature, the ability to set a preferred water temperature without readjusting the handle, and a water-conserving maximum flow rate of just 1.5 gallons per minute.

A room-by-room guide to decluttering your home a cleaner, simpler home will make you feel healthier and happier, study says

C

ontrolling clutter in your home can be a challenge; 48 percent of Americans say their houses are cluttered with stuff they don’t use anymore, according to a survey by ClearVoice Research.

Multiple studies have found a cluttered home can negatively affect your mental and physical health, while a cleaner home can make you feel happier and healthier.

A UCLA study found mothers in cluttered homes had higher stress levels while dealing with their stuff, while an Indiana University study found people with clean houses are healthier than those living in cluttered homes. You may realize clutter isn’t good for you, but it’s not always easy to get organized. To help you get started, here is a room-by-room guide to cutting the clutter: Entryway Decide what belongs in your entryway and what doesn’t. The size of the space will influence this decision. If your entryway is a spacious mudroom, you might choose to store shoes, boots, umbrellas and backpacks there. If you have a modest foyer, you may decide you only have room for car keys. Remove anything from the space that doesn’t help it serve its purpose in your home.

Add storage/organization that helps the space meet its purpose.

Wall-hung key racks can keep important keys at your fingertips.

Shoe racks are available in a variety of sizes and styles to fit your space and decor while keeping footwear organized and off the floor.

If space allows, adding built-in storage such as cabinets and shelves can help keep an entry space organized and visually appealing.

Showers can be among the most cluttered spots in a bathroom. If you’re ready to take your bathroom organization to the next level, ditch the rack hanging from your showerhead and the precarious corner shelving and upgrade your shower to one with built-in organization, like Sterling Store+ shower.

The showers feature built-in recesses and tracks where you can snap in a variety of storage accessories and shelves, such as a soap dish, storage bin, towel bar or shower hook. The storage is fully customizable, and all accessories are removable and dishwasher safe.

twice a year. Clearing off countertops can make a kitchen feel visually more appealing, look bigger and function better. Remove and store rarely used small appliances, ditch the ceramic container of utensils and store those items in drawers instead.

Pantries and cabinets can be nearly as cluttered as countertops.

Adding shelving and storage units within cabinets can help keep pots, pans, lids and dishware better organized and more easily accessible.

Some people need a bit of extra incentive to stay organized. If that’s you, consider replacing solid cabinet doors with glass ones that reveal what’s inside.

Knowing the contents of your cabinets are always on display can help inspire you to keep them tidy and organized. Plus, glass-front cabinets are an opportunity to create an appealing visual display.
