Survey finds the hidden costs of homeownership BY TAYLOR TEPPER, TRIBUNE NEWS SERVICE

Your day burns brightly on both ends You prod your kids out of bed at daybreak, get them dressed, fed and off to school. You drive to work, endure meetings, colleagues, power lunches, memos and strategy sessions, only to return home through gridlocked traffic just as the sun sets, beg your kids to

eat dinner, wash them, coax them to sleep, do the dishes and then mercifully collapse in front of the television set. You fret over your emergency savings, retirement savings, credit card debt, mortgage rate, health insurance, college savings, and on and on. It makes sense, then, you’d opt to pay

a cleaning or lawn service every week to lighten your load. Hiring someone to keep your property in working order, either on your own or through homeowners association fees, doesn’t come cheap, though. More than three in five homeowners — 63 percent — use at least one

recurring home maintenance provider, while 35 percent use two, according to a recent Bankrate survey. The average homeowner pays $2,000 annually on maintenance services, the survey finds. COSTS OF OWNING A HOME The price of biweekly landscaping

probably never factored into your calculus when deciding how much house you can afford. The average home mortgage neared $250,000 last year, according to the National Association of Realtors, which came with a monthly principal and interest payment of $973, or about oneCONTINUED ON PAGE 2

sixth of median family income. Homeowners saw an average property tax bill of $3,300 in 2016, according to ATTOM’s most recent data, adding another $275 to your monthly budget. You’ll also owe hundreds more in insurance premiums depending on where you live and what type of house you own. That doesn’t even include the money you need saved in case something unexpected happens. If your airconditioning unit or washer and dryer gives out, you could immediately owe hundreds, if not thousands. Kevin Mahoney, CEO of feeonly financial advice firm Illumint, recommended to designate a savings account as a “home maintenance fund.” Mahoney, who recently bought a renovated row house in Washington, D.C., contributes $100 to $200 a month as a hedge against unexpected repairs and wear-and-tear. Maintaining a house fund will inoculate you against highinterest debt, leaving your budget open for routine maintenance services. THE COSTS YOU PROBABLY DIDN’T THINK ABOUT After the years required to amass a sufficient down payment — the average among new homebuyers is 11 percent — and all the big costs staring homeowners in the face, it’s little wonder if you don’t account for

smaller fare. But the price tag for convenience can rise quickly. People who opt for housekeeping shell out an average of $285 a month, while HOA dues ($210) and landscaping ($144) followed behind. A home security system costs $130, slightly more than pool care ($123). Snow removal ($84), septic service ($67) and trash and recycling collection ($55) proved more affordable. Unsurprisingly, renters are less likely

than homeowners to pay for recurring maintenance services, and when they do, they pay less for most services. On average, renters pay less for housekeeping ($128), HOA dues ($71), pool care ($70), landscaping ($61) and snow removal ($24). However, they fork over a little more for security systems ($142), septic service ($113), and trash and recycling collection ($63). Nate Masterson, a director of finance for Maple Holistics, pays $1,000 annually for gardening services, and

another $70 to clear his Riverside, NY home of snow. “It would require a lot of strenuous work to perform either task, and it’s simply more worthwhile for me to pay a professional,” said Masterson, 34. MAKE SURE YOU ACCOUNT FOR ALL COSTS Americans broadly struggle mightily to save. The average person wouldn’t pay for an unexpected $1,000 expense from

their savings, per a recent Bankrate survey, while the median amount in a savings and checking account for a middle-income household has essentially remained flat over the past 27 years, according to Federal Reserve data. Credit card debt recently hit an alltime high, while the personal savings rate has dropped precipitously over the past two years. If you don’t have a fully funded emergency fund comprising three to six months’ worth of expenses in a high-yield savings account, strongly consider suspending as many as these services as possible until you do. Dropping almost $300 a month on housekeeping while lacking $1,000 in the bank is simply too risky. What if the roof caves in? At the very least, start contributing to a home maintenance fund. You may not have a say in other costs — trash collection and HOA fees were two of the three most common — but make sure to account for those expenses into your budget prior to moving in, and in your emergency fund. Life’s hard, and there’s nothing wrong with paying someone else to mow your lawn. Unless you can’t afford it.  Visit Bankrate online at www.bankrate. com.

Major changes coming to new home building methods METRO SERVICES

Across America, home builders are adopting new approaches to construction to create greener homes with better resale value. One major change that’s tackling energy consumption and rising fuel costs is the use of an airtight, solid concrete system to replace inefficient wood framing. Insulated concrete forms (ICFs) erect a building with an interlocking system, similar to Lego. “It’s a switch for builders, but those who have switched over tell us it’s quite easy to build with ICFs,” said Natalie Rodgers of Nudura, a leading name in the field. “Customer

BUILDING GUIDE

demand has driven this change and builders are now seeing how green construction options can have a positive impact on their business.” The ICF system is now the number one choice of wall-building methods for “net-zero” construction in the country. The term net-zero applies to buildings that are energy efficient and don’t tap into any public utility fuel supplies. The goal is for as many homes, schools and public buildings as possible to be designed to be net-zero. Here are some advantages of net-zero construction using ICF.

Underscoring these proactive measures, the nonprofit organization LEED also reminds us that constructing a green home leaves a much smaller carbon footprint due to less demand on natural resources. Such homes will create less waste and be healthier and more comfortable for the occupants.

FUEL SAVINGS

Walls built with ICFs are proven to reduce energy bills up to 60 percent, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reduce or eliminate exposure to mold, mildew and other indoor toxins. The net

cost over time is comparable to owning a conventional home and the resale return is generally assured.

DURABILITY

Concrete is strong. Due to highimpact resistance, these concrete walls assure maximum safety in high wind areas. Fire resistance is also reported to be maximized at four hours.

COMFORT

Unlike in conventional wooded frames, air gaps are eliminated in ICF, minimizing the potential for mold growth and draft. The end result is

Karine Pignatiello

I’m so excited to be back! I had my real estate license from 2001 to 2010, but spent a few years as a stay-at-home mom. While nothing will compare with motherhood, I do love working with people and assisting them through the many trials and demands of that other major event in life: homeownership. Whether you are a first time home buyer, or you are selling your fifth property, I want to be the advisor that guides you through the unknowns of that transaction. AND, I couldn’t be more proud than to be joining the family at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Rocky Mountain REALTORS! With a successful history of excellence (West Point class of 1995, US Army, IBM, and Real Estate), I can’t wait to be your Principal Real Estate Advisor.

THE CHOICE IS CLEAR FOR REPEAT HOME SELLERS The network was honored in J.D. Power’s 2017 Home Buyer/Seller Satisfaction Study for “Highest Overall Satisfaction for Repeat Home Sellers Among National Full Service Real Estate Firms.” Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices received the highest numerical score among 5 real estate companies for repeat home sellers in the J.D.
