Home sales perking up, but for how long?

BY TIM LOGAN  LOS ANGELES TIMES

A key measure of the nation’s housing market picked up speed in February as sales of previouslyowned homes climbed 1.2 percent and ran ahead of last year’s pace for the fifth straight month.

That’s according to the National Association of Realtors, which also said the median sales price of homes sold in February jumped at its fastest pace in 12 months, up 7.5 percent from a year ago to $202,600.

But those gains come as demand appears to be growing faster than the supply of homes for sale. If that keeps up, the market in many parts of the country could once again bump into the affordability challenges that have slowed sales in Southern California for more than a year now, warned Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist.

Inventory grew in February, as it typically does, but remains below levels seen a year ago. And

at 4.6 months’ worth of sales, the supply of homes on the market is well short of the six-month mark considered to represent a “balanced” market.

“Insufficient supply appears to be hampering prospective buyers in several areas of the country and is hiking prices to near unsuitable levels,” he said. “Stronger price growth is a boon for homeowners looking to build additional equity, but it continues to be an obstacle

for current buyers looking to close before rates rise.”

Despite rough winter weather in much of the rest of the country, both sales volume and price growth was slowest in the West compared to a year ago.

NAR also said agents are seeing “tempered demand” from overseas buyers in popular international markets such as Southern California, because of the stronger value of the dollar. 

RE 5

questions for the first-time homebuyer

BY AVIYA KUSHNER BANKRATE.COM

Usually, a first-time homebuyer picks out a house before lining up financing, but experts say it should be the opposite.

Dan Huss, a mortgage consultant with BNC National Bank in Scottsdale, Ariz., says buyers often call a Realtor first and then the Realtor refers them to a mortgage person.

“The first call really should be to a loan officer,” Huss says. But before you make that first call, sit down and do some hard thinking.

“Establish what you feel you could afford based on your budget,” says Huss. “Once you make that phone call and the loan officer tells you what you qualify for, the temptation to go higher is real.”

Before diving into the housing market, ask yourself these five questions.

HOW MUCH CAN I AFFORD? It may be hard to figure out what you can truly afford. “The very best ratio to have is one-fourth of your income going toward house payments,” says Jessica Cecere, formerly president of Consumer Credit Counseling Service of Palm Beach County and the Treasure Coast in Florida.

Cecere says she means net income, or 25 percent of what you earn after taxes — lenders calculate using gross income. “Anywhere between 25 (percent) and 32 (percent) is safe.

Anything over 35 (percent) is the danger zone,” she says.

A higher ratio puts you at risk if anything changes, like an increase in insurance costs. “One hurricane in Florida and insurance charges can double,” she says.

Then there is the prospect of job loss.

“With 25 percent, even with the loss

of one income, you can still keep your home,” Cecere says.

Huss says you should know your financial situation before you approach a lender and borrow accordingly. A 30year fixed mortgage is preferable. Chart out how high your payments would be at different rates by using Bankrate.com’s mortgage calculator.

Once you know what you can afford to pay on the mortgage, you can figure out your housing price range, Huss says.

WHAT ARE MY COSTS OUTSIDE THE LOAN? First-timers tend to miscalculate the total tab for sealing the purchase and the cost of maintaining a home.

“Have a thorough conversation about down payment costs and closing costs,” Huss says. You need to know the total out-of-pocket costs.

Next, make sure you consider all the monthly charges. Online calculators on realty sites don’t always include taxes, homeowners association dues, utilities, and home and mortgage insurance.

They certainly don’t allow for flooring and window treatments, which your landlord covered previously.

If you’re buying a fixer-upper, get several contractor bids so you know what lies ahead.

“You always have to be prepared, new or old, to make any repairs,” Cecere says. If your mortgage is at 25 percent of income, repairs can bring your cost to 30 percent.

“We always say you should have three months of basic living expenses in a very liquid place, and part of that is your house emergency fund,” Cecere says.

Finally, double-check utilities and tax costs to avoid nasty surprises.

5 QUESTIONS:

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 5

WHAT DO I NEED IN A NEIGHBORHOOD? “I always sit down and say, ‘Give me your wish list,’” says Chris Pagano, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker in Chicago. “What are the must-haves?”

Pagano says the way you live is key. He asks buyers, “What do you do when you come home?”

That can help buyers determine whether proximity to a gym, park or good restaurants matters.

He urges buyers to consider how they will get from home to other places. Walking three blocks to a bus stop when it’s 10 degrees can be bonechilling. If you drive, try it before you buy.

Check out potential neighborhoods at different times of day, Realtors emphasize.

“Sure, look at the MLS, see the reports, but walk the neighborhood,” says Michael Friedman, a Realtor with The Grubb Co. in the OaklandBerkeley-Piedmont area in California.

WILL THIS HOUSE FIT MY LONG-TERM GOALS? While you have to make a purchasing decision based on your current financial situation, you should imagine your future personal and work life.

Friedman suggests buyers ask themselves, “Are we going to grow our family?” and “How many bedrooms do we need?”

If you think an elderly parent may move in or you’ll need a home office, include that in your decision. Don’t forget about schools. Sometimes, paying more for a house can be cheaper in the long run. A pricier home in a better school district can be cheaper than a lower-priced home plus private school for 13 years.

“This home will let us go for public school and not pay $50,000 for private school,” may be the thinking, Friedman says.

AM I TRULY PREPARED TO BE A HOMEOWNER? “Whatever your money attitude is, when you have a home, a lot of your money will go (to it),” says Cecere. “A lot of your time will be spent dealing with your home.”

Make sure you understand what’s involved.

You should ask yourself before buying if you have good spending habits. If possible, take a homebuyer class in person or online.

If you’re ready and buy responsibly, experts say homebuying can still be a wise financial move.

“Owning a house is still better than renting,” Huss says. “You should absolutely be able to find a great house for what you can afford.” 
