NEWSWIRE
The Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs (CSHBA) announced that 25 home builders will feature 28 new homes in the 60th Annual Parade of Homes. Prepare to be captivated as you enter several of the most exclusive communities in the city to experience some of the most spectacular examples of the latest in construction technology, sustainable living and interior design. What you will see in each of the 2014 Parade homes is the comprehensive effort of thousands of contributing trade partners, which when all of the dust settles, create individual homes designed to inspire. The 28 beautiful new homes and neighborhoods in the Parade of Homes will be open from 10 am – 6 pm daily starting Friday, August 1 and runs through Sunday, August 17, except where noted on the ticket and Plan Book. Tickets are on sale at all local Safeway stores or online at www. cshba.com and includes a navigational proximity map. Admission is $10.00 for adults 18 and older; children 17 and younger are free. One ticket will allow visitors to tour the Parade of Homes at their leisure during these 17 days. You can register for the $2,500 shopping spree at La-Z-Boy Furniture Galleries at any of the Parade homes anytime throughout the Parade; you can also enter to win an Apple iPad by getting your ticket stamped at 26 of the Parade builders identified on your ticket.

designed to recognize the outstanding accomplishments of state and local HBAs throughout the country. This followed on the heels of winning “Best of Houzz”, the leading platform for home remodeling and design. The Parade of Homes was chosen by the more than 16 million monthly users that comprise the Houzz community. The Housing & Building Association of Colorado Springs would like to thank our major supporters of the Parade of Homes: The Gazette, Freedom Financial Services, La–Z–Boy Furniture Galleries and Mike Shaw Buick GMC. Safeway is the official ticket outlet for the Parade of Homes. ABOUT THE HOUSING & BUILDING ASSOCIATION OF COLORADO SPRINGS Named one of the Best Professional
Association by the Colorado Springs Business Journal two years in a row, the Housing and Building Association of Colorado Springs was formed in 1950 by a group of builders who saw a need to unite to address the many concerns and issues affecting the home building industry. The HBA of Colorado Springs is made up of member companies including, builders, developers, remodelers, trade contractors, suppliers, mortgage lenders, Realtors, title companies, interior designers, architects, and landscapers. These companies all play a vital role in the construction industry in Colorado Springs and surrounding areas. Together they contribute to the growth, prosperity and quality of life this exceptional community has come to enjoy. ■
THE MORTGAGE PROFESSOR:
Investing in a larger down payment — the yields are incredible, and there is no risk BY JACK GUTTENTAG ■ THE MORTGAGE PROFESSOR
Consumers looking to purchase a home within the near future face many decisions, including how large a down payment to make. The down payment is the sale price (confirmed by an appraisal) less the loan amount. In most cases, home purchasers must have financial assets at least as large as the down payment they make. DOWN PAYMENT AS AN INVESTMENT: Many consumers put down as little as possible despite having the capacity to put down more because they view the down payment as lost money. But that is a mistake. The down payment is an investment that yields a return that is far above anything else available to consumers, and the return is 100 percent risk-free. Here is an example: John is planning to purchase a house for $200,000 financed with a mortgage of $190,000 priced at 4.25 percent and 1 point. His $10,000 down payment is 5 percent of the price. He is retaining another $10,000 in a money market fund that is currently yielding him less than 1 percent. If he uses that $10,000 instead to increase the down payment to 10 percent, or (even better) if he can save that amount before the deal is executed, his rate of return on the $10,000 will be 7 – 8 percent, depending on how long he has the mortgage. And there is no risk.
RETURN DERIVED FROM LOAN ELIMINATION: Where does the yield come from? Part of it comes from the elimination of $10,000 of mortgage loan on which he would be paying 4.25 percent and 1 point. He retains the interest and points on the $10,000 he does not borrow. Assuming he has the loan for seven years, this component of the return is 4.43 percent. Some readers may have difficulty with this concept, but it is quite straightforward. If you invest $10,000 in a security, your return is the interest paid to you by the security issuer. If you invest $10,000 in a down payment, the return to you includes the interest and points you do not have to pay the mortgage lender on the $10,000 you don’t borrow. RETURN DERIVED FROM REDUCING THE COST OF THE REMAINING LOAN: But the rate of return on down payment has a kicker that has no counterpart in the securities market. The home purchaser who increases the down payment not only eliminates the charge on the loan that isn’t made, but reduces the charge on the loan that is made. In John’s case, in addition to the saving on interest and points on the $10,000 he does not borrow, he reduces the mortgage insurance premium on the $180,000 he will borrow. On a $190,000 loan with 5 percent down,
assuming the borrower has excellent credit, the monthly mortgage insurance premium is about $85, whereas on a $180,000 loan with 10 percent down, the premium is about $58. This reduction in premium increases the rate of return on the $10,000 investment in down payment to about 7.88 percent. Readers interested in making similar calculations on their own transactions can do them with calculator 12a on my website (www.mtgprofessor.com). WHY LOAN COSTS DECLINE WITH LARGER DOWN PAYMENTS: The larger the down payment, the lower the risk of loss to the lender. In the event the borrower defaults, the likelihood that the unpaid debt will exceed the property value is smaller when the down payment is larger. In addition, borrowers who have been able to save the funds for a larger down payment are viewed as less likely to default because of their demonstrated budgetary discipline. The result is that the mortgage price declines as the down payment rises. In our system, a major part of the risk associated with low down payments is shifted from the lender to a mortgage insurer, but this changes nothing of substance. Mortgage insurance premiums decline as the down payment rises, and hit zero at 20 percent down.
SAVING FOR A DOWN PAYMENT: Consumers who are actively planning to purchase a house will base their down payment decision on the financial assets they now have. Consumers looking ahead to a time when they hope to be better positioned to purchase a house, must develop a savings plan. In doing this, they should assume that the return they earn on the new savings is 1.5 times the prevailing home mortgage interest rate. This is a conservative estimate of the rate of return on the savings when it is used as a down payment to buy a house. If a home purchase is in your plans but you have never been able to save, it is time you learned how. The secret is to give saving high priority in your budget. Decide beforehand what part of your income you can afford to save, and create a special account for that purpose. Then immediately after you are paid, write a check for deposit in that account. If you view saving as a residual — what remains of your income unspent at the end of the month — you are giving saving the lowest possible priority, which is a virtual guarantee of failure. ■ Jack Guttentag is professor emeritus of finance at the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

SPOTLIGHT: ULTRAMODERN HIDEAWAY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1
As the dramatic focal point of the home, the towering atrium opens to all major living areas and includes a twotiered slate fountain, 24-foot peaked glass ceiling and a curved built-in bench for seating. The great room is comprised of the living room, dining room and kitchen with a striking floor to ceiling metal fireplace wall, by artist Doyle Svenby, featuring sculpted steel gas logs. Symmetrical coved ceilings and hardwood floors are enhanced by expansive windows throughout and a wall of stackable glass doors that slide open to create a 20-foot opening to the patio area. With porcelain tiled floors, quartz countertops and zebra wood cabinets, the cutting-edge kitchen is meant for entertaining. A large center isle
has display shelves and a stainless Thermadore gas range. A second counter area adds seating, workspace and extra cabinet space. A casual dining nook sits adjacent to the kitchen complemented by a glass block accent wall. Supplementary space for entertaining, or a cozy place to unwind, the living room sits near the great room also with a peaked set of stackable sliding doors to create another 20-foot opening to the patio. Along with a floor-to-ceiling travertine fireplace and sleek curved wet bar, the room features a dropdown wide screen, audio/visual equipment and projector. A couple of stairs lead to a comfortable library/office filled with built-in shelving and a sitting area at the side of a three-sided gas fireplace. From the library, a hallway with
peaked skylights guides the way to the guest wing. Located on the first upper level, this wing is all that remains of the original 1957 home. Two guest bedrooms display mountain and city views and share a bath. One bedroom has direct access to the bath and a side door opens to a covered patio, while the other bedroom enjoys a sliding glass door to the patio. An additional guest room contains a private bath with jetted tub and shower head. French doors with ribbed rain glass panels reveal the expansive master suite on the second upper level. Surrounded by windows, the master accesses a wrap-around patio with Batu wood floor. A unique accent wall provides built-ins, a sink, and a miniature version of the fireplace in the great room, which is shared with the master bath. A sliding
ribbed rain glass door discloses the significant walk-in closet that includes washer and dryer hookups. The indulgent master bath accommodates an oversize walk-in steam shower with three showerheads, and an elegant free-standing oval tub. In the basement level, a theater room is complete with a wide screen, a projector, built in speakers and all audio equipment. An upscale beverage area is handy with built-in cabinets, wine rack, refrigerator, dishwasher and quartz counter. Counter seating is available as well as a built-in cubby with a cushion matching the drapes flanking the wide screen. Another guest suite is found on the lower level with a walkout to the front of the home near the front waterfall. A remarkable glass tub/shower in the
adjoining private bath is designed like a swimming pool, and there is a large closet located off of the bath. An abundance of additional features in the home include an exercise room with sauna, attached two-car garage and a detached 4-car heated garage with workshop and half bathroom. There is a sound system on the main level, office area, master level and basement level. Eye-catching landscape includes automatic sprinkler system for the yard and three water features. The back patio includes a fire pit and a covered area for grilling complete with gas line. The heated, in-ground swimming pool has a raised deck area with a porcelain tiled floor and an adjoining built-in hot tub with Batu wood decking. A tennis court and greenhouse are situated just beyond the driveway. ■
A beautiful new barn at Venetucci Farm NEWSWIRE
The Rotary Club of East Colorado Springs recently presented a check for $10,000 to Susan Gordon, Farm Manager of Venetucci Farm. This donation will support the building of a new greenhouse, which will be an addition to the stunning barn recently constructed at Venetucci Farm. Eventually, the barn will include horse stalls, storage, a root cellar, and a multiuse room as well the greenhouse.
Not only does the new barn, and subsequent attachments, better meet the needs of Venetucci’s staff, animals, and produce, it also provides a greater depth of education for the thousands of students of all ages who visit Venetucci Farm each year. Venetucci Farm is sustained by the The Pikes Peak Community Foundation (PPCF). PPCF was founded in 1996 and makes grants to support community
improvement projects and operates high-impact programs such as Venetucci Farm, the Fund for the Arts, Pikes Peak Urban Gardens, the Erikson Fund, the Mary Starsmore Fund, the Pikes Peak Conservation Fund, Pinello Ranch, and the new Gordon Jackson Foundation at Aspen Valley Ranch, to create maximum benefit for our community. PPCF creates custom-designed charitable gift funds for individuals,
families, and businesses, including donor-advised funds, donor-designated funds, endowment funds, memorial funds, and scholarship funds, providing flexible and inexpensive alternatives to setting up private or family foundations. Through Rotary, a global network of volunteer leaders come together in a mission to tackle the world’s most pressing humanitarian challenges. Rotary connects 1.2 million members of more
than 34,000 Rotary clubs in over 200 countries and geographical areas. Their work improves lives at both the local and international levels, from helping families in need within their own communities, to working toward a polio-free world.
