CreekStone Homes invites you to get cozy ... you’re in a ComfortBuilt Home BY GINA CRONIN GINA.CRONIN@GAZETTE.COM
CreekStone Homes has always been proud to be a forward-thinking and innovative home builder. So, after researching building trends and new home buyer demands for features and performance, they realized that today’s consumers are educating themselves and expecting more from home builders. After all, shouldn’t buyers get the same innovative approach to a new home that they get from any other new product? With science and technology advancing more rapidly than ever before, CreekStone believes it’s their responsibility as homebuilders to bring those aspects into the building process. Going above and beyond the required building codes for energy efficiency is now the standard for every CreekStone Home. To achieve this performance goal for comfort and energy efficiency, CreekStone is now partnering with Owens Corning to build ComfortBuilt homes. Beginning with their new model in Wolf Ranch — now under construction at 9535 Tutt Blvd. — all new CreekStone Homes constructed with Owens Corning advanced Building Science will be built to a Home Energy Rating System (HERS) rating that is currently unmatched in Colorado Springs. All new CreekStone homes will be wrapped in a blanket of PINK Insulation from top to bottom, outside to inside, to regulate the temperature throughout and keep the home cozy and comfortable year round. This means a potentially large increase in homeowner savings on heating and cooling bills, as well as comfort and overall livability when compared to a typical new-build or resale home. Once the program is fully implemented, every CreekStone Home will conform to ComfortBuilt Homes uncompromising energy standards. From Cordera, Wolf Ranch, Gold Hill Mesa and The Greens in Colorado Springs, to Stapleton, Adams Crossing and Creekside in Denver, the first ComfortBuilt homes are anticipated to be available for tours starting in late spring 2017.
“We’re very happy to be bringing our awardwinning homes to new communities with these amazing energy efficiency standards. Knowing that over 80 percent of new homebuyers consider the performance of their homes to be as important as the performance of their cars and computers made the decision to convert to ComfortBuilt standards an easy one,” says Jason Rose of CreekStone Homes. “It’s also important to note that building to ComfortBuilt performance standards will start from the foundation up. It’s not simply adding insulation. It’s an entire science that means changing construction methods to meet stringent guidelines that conform to the ComfortBuilt qualifications. Owens Corning is so committed to this high standard that their Building Science team is collaborating with CreekStone during the entire construction process. The shift in energy efficiency has become our company culture — a way of life. We’re very excited to be moving in this direction. We’re building for the future and we’re starting now.” CreekStone ComfortBuilt Homes will be built using proven scientific methods, including: Gasketed Air-Sealing: Unique air-sealing process protects against air-leakage to help stop unwanted drafts. Blown-In Insulation: Owens Corning loose-fill insulation fills the entire wall cavity, and won’t settle over time, providing thermal comfort. Continuous Insulation: Wraps the entire house with Owens Corning FOAMULAR Extruded – Polystyrene (XPS) Rigid FoamInsulation to seal out the elements and keep the home comfortable. By building with CreekStone Homes, clients will be assured of having the newest, proven building science from Owens Corning. They’ll be able to say good-bye to high heating and cooling bills, and hello to the comfort and durability that only comes with a CreekStone ComfortBuilt home … built with the science of comfort! ■

THE MORTGAGE PROFESSOR:
The ‘reverse’ in reverse mortgages and ‘skipping’ payments BY JACK GUTTENTAG TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICES
Occasionally, I like to play professor by answering some of the moreinteresting questions I have received. The ones I respond to below are all interesting for different reasons.
Q: A:
What is “reversed” in a reverse mortgage?
The reversal is in the typical pattern of loan-balance change. On a standard mortgage, the balance usually is at its highest point when the loan is made, declining steadily thereafter until it reaches zero at the end of the term or when the balance is prepaid. On a reverse mortgage,
in contrast, the initial loan balance is relatively low and grows over time as borrowers draw funds and as interest adds to it. Related to the reversal in loanbalance change is reversal in payment flows. On a standard mortgage, the borrower is required to make a monthly payment, whereas the reverse mortgage borrower has an option to draw a monthly payment or irregular amounts against a credit line.
Q: A:
If I double my mortgage payment, can I skip a month?
You can skip a month if you inform your servicer that one
payment is for the current month and the second payment is for the following month. That isn’t exactly “skipping it.” It’s better described as paying the second month in advance. If your intention is to pay off the loan sooner by having the entire second payment credited to principal, then you cannot use it to pay in advance. You can pay in advance, or you can pay down the loan balance faster, but you can’t do both with the same payment. What you can do is make sure that what happens with your payments is what you want to happen. If you want to pay in advance, write two checks for the payment amount, each with the notation “payment for (name of
month).” If you want to pay down the balance, write “apply to principal” on the check and make sure that the designated amount is not exactly equal to the monthly payment.
Q: A:
Is interest on home mortgages front-end loaded?
I received this question in a letter in which a reader stated that since most of the interest collected on a home mortgage is collected in the early years, and the typical loan has a life of about seven years, the true rate of return must be much higher than the stated interest rate. He wanted to know whether I had developed a calculator that would allow him to measure the “true rate of return.” The idea that since home mortgages are front-end loaded, lenders must be
earning more than the stated interest rate is an old myth that has not a shred of validity yet never goes away. Most mortgages written today call for equal payments that fully amortize the loan. This necessarily means that in the early years, most of the payment is interest, and in later years, most of it is principal. But the years of high interest payments are the years when the loan balance is high. If the interest rate on a 30-year $100,000 loan is six percent, in month one the interest payment is 0.06 divided by 12 and then multiplied by 100,000, or $500. After 25 years, the interest payment is down to $155, but that’s because the balance is then only $31,000. The dollars of interest earned in month one and the dollars of interest earned in month 300 are both equal to 0.5 percent of the amounts owed in those months. ■

Five words that could make you sound rude in emails BY ELANA LYN GROSS MONSTER.COM
You’re clearing out your email inbox when you stumble upon a rude email. You reread it and incredulously ask yourself: Did she really just write that? As anyone who has ever written an email knows, it is easier to convey tone and emotion when you are speaking to someone in-person as opposed to online. The words, phrases and tone that you use with your friends might make you come off sounding like a jerk in a professional email. Monster spoke to career experts to find out some of the most commonly used words and phrases that make you sound rude in emails, so you won’t make those mistakes at your next job.
on the outcome of the board meeting.”
“OBVIOUSLY”
“APPARENTLY”
Example: “Obviously we should move forward with the marketing plan based on the outcome of the board meeting.” Why it doesn’t work: “It sounds as though the writer is pointing out that the information that follows should be obvious, but you, the reader, are not smart enough to grasp it,” says Dianna Booher, founder and CEO of Dallasbased communication firm Booher Research Institute. Use “obviously,” and you run a high risk of coming off condescending — and being branded the Miranda Priestly of the office. Use this instead: “We should move forward with the marketing plan based
“ACTUALLY”
Example: “I actually think it would be better if we publish the article in advance of the book’s release date.” Why it doesn’t work: “‘Actually’ is a word best saved for conversation,” says Melissa Bessey, founder and president of the Toronto-based public relations firm Media Allure. “Any text using ‘actually’ can too easily sound hostile or make you sound like a know-it-all — either one will be perceived as rude.” Use this instead: “Let’s publish the article in advance of the book’s publication date.” Example: “Apparently, the presentation is too long, and we should be more concise.” Why it doesn’t work: Unless you work in law enforcement, words such as “apparently,” “allegedly” and “evidently” can sound like you are contradicting or questioning someone’s judgment or portrayal of events. “It sounds as though the person may have been sneaky, previously hiding something from you that you’ve had to deduce for yourself and then point out in the email,” says Booher. Use this instead: “We received feedback that the presentation is too
long. We should edit it to be more concise.”
“FINE”
Example: “Thanks for sending the press release to me for approval. It’s fine.” Why it doesn’t work: “The word ‘fine’ is often used in conversation as a form of compliance. It can have a negative or positive tone, but it is mostly perceived as rude and dismissive,” says Bessey. “It is best to err on the side of caution and replace ‘fine’ with ‘good.’ When something is not fine, be direct enough to let the reader know what is not okay so they are not left wondering.” Use this instead: “Thanks for sending the press release to me for approval. It’s approved. Great work.”
“Apparently” it’s easy to misinterpret a sender’s tone and emotion — and “obviously” this can cause problems at work.
“NO”
Example: “The answer to your request is no.” Why it doesn’t work: “‘No’ comes across harshly in an email. It’s best to soften your language and provide context,” says Nancy Halpern, an executive at the New York-based executive coaching firm KNH Associates. Use this instead: “I won’t be able to publish the article on Monday because I have three time-sensitive articles to publish, but I will publish it the following Monday.” ■

If you are currently unemployed and searching fervently for a job, please remember that you are not alone. There is nothing shameful about being in that position — we’ve all been there and everyone knows that finding the right job takes time. Remember that you are doing a great job and trust that the right opportunity will come your way. While it is easy to become discouraged, there are always ways to keep your spirits up throughout the search.
GET READY IN THE MORNING
Being unemployed does not mean that you shouldn’t get up, get dressed and seize the day. Having a positive morning routine helps keep you productive. Start the morning with a refreshing walk outside to clear your mind before you start sending resumes. It’s also a good idea to make plans, meeting with people who can inspire and help you along with your job search; whether that be a friend, mentor or advisor. This approach is much more encouraging than spending all day in your room and in your pajamas feeling like you don’t belong to something. You do — so make waves.
KEEP ACTIVE
It can be easy to become a couch potato when unemployed, but that won’t really help with your mood or energy levels. Keep active by taking a jog outside, doing calisthenics in your home or — if it’s in the budget — joining a gym. There are also many donation-based, or even free, yoga and other fitness classes. You can check with your local libraries to see if they offer any cost-free wellness programs. Physical activity lifts your mood, improves sleep, strengthens memory, increases
