Award-winning Classic Homes provides solid customer care and construction BY GINA CRONIN  GINA.CRONIN@GAZETTE.COM

Since 1989, Classic Homes has built 11,168 quality homes throughout the Pikes Peak Region, many of which are in communities where Classic is also the developer. The award-winning locally owned and operated business is the only builder to have received the Gazette’s Best of the Springs Best Homebuilder Award for nine years running, the Colorado Springs Business

Journal’s Best in Business for nine consecutive years and the Better Business Bureau’s Excellence in Customer Service Award on three separate occasions — a true testament to the care and commitment shown to homebuyers before, during and after they’ve become members of the communities. The company proudly employs 140 professionals who represent

the best and brightest in construction, customer care, interior design, engineering, and sales and marketing. “In my opinion, our single greatest asset is our employees,” says Doug Stimple, CEO of Classic Homes.

employer we are and speaks to the continuity and strength of our corporate culture; which then permeates to the customer.” The builder provides a safe and stable environment, where people can feel comfortable to make what may be one of the largest investments of their life. Great emphasis is placed on personalized customer focus – from finding the right community and location to managing every step of the process. “One of our mantras is that we want to be the easiest builder to do business with,” says Stimple. “We attempt to set proper expectations and meet or exceed those expectations.” Every homeowner is invited to begin their journey to building by attending Classic Homes’ new homeowner evening, where representatives of the Classic Homes team explain the process behind building a new Classic Home. It’s also a chance for new homeowners to meet new friends and neighbors who are just beginning their new home as well. Once the homebuyer selects the community where they want to live, they are assigned a new home sales counselor, design consultant and construction superintendent, who help guide them through the building process. “And while each new home is being built, our construction team will walk each homebuyer through the property at key intervals, including weekly phone calls, to ensure everyone is comfortable with every facet of the building process,” says Joe Loidolt, President of Classic Homes . “Upon completion of the home and prior to closing, a representative of the customer care team meets with each homeowner for their new home orientation.” Beyond the seamless building experience and excellent client focus is the home itself. From architecture and construction, to finishing features and design, and everything in between, all Classic Homes are built on a solid foundation of quality building materials, attention to detail and craftsmanship. “We present new floor plans each and every year, which means even if you’ve been to Classic Homes in the past, there’s a good chance you haven’t seen some of our newer offerings,” says Loidolt. Stimple explains that the company is constantly evaluating what the demographics are and what the client is demanding. “We design, develop and implement floor plans based on these analyses, in addition to leading edge design around the country.” Some projects lined up for 2017 include a high-density community of single-family detached homes for entry level and first-time homebuyers. The homes will

be priced under $300,000, while maintaining quality and efficiency. The team will also be updating and modernizing the floorplans in their existing collections, which average $415,000. “We offer more than 30 floorplans to include ranch and two-story single-family plans, plus a collection of patio homes — all in prime neighborhood locations with excellent access to work, school and essential services,” says Loidolt. As a result of the quality homes and customer dedication, Classic Homes is a recipient of numerous awards year after year. In 2016 alone, the company received nearly 20 awards. “At the end of day, we understand that even if we think we built and delivered a great home; if our customer doesn’t agree with us it’s irrelevant,” says Stimple. “So I am most proud of what our customers say in data driven surveys that we as a company

have nothing to do with.” Eliant is a third party research firm who surveys all of the buyers as soon as they close, after six months and again after a year. “We want to see that we’re hitting certain metrics on the front end, but also want to make sure we are standing behind our product,” says Stimple. “It’s been our historical norm that a year later our client satisfaction continues to increase.” Eliant has ranked Classic Homes in the top five to 10 building companies in America in various categories. Classic Homes’ new home specialist team is available online or by phone seven days a week to help answer questions about their communities, inventory and floor-plans They also assist buyers with scheduling appointments and showings in all communities.

Renters more likely to be food insecure than homeowners NEWSWIRE About 10.5 million American households, or roughly 8.9 percent, reported that in the past month their access to adequate food was limited by a lack of money and other resources, according to new 2015 American Housing Survey statistics released today by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the U.S. Census Bureau. For the first time in its 42-year history, the American Housing Survey included questions on food security status, which allowed HUD to assign households a “food security status” score. Using these categories, about 10.5 million occupied households were classified as having “low” or “very low” food security, which is commonly known as being “food insecure.” The survey also looked at homeownership, race and having a disability in relation to food security. Results showed that 4.9 percent of homeowners and 15.5 percent of renters were food insecure, meaning they had “low” or “very low” food security. “For over 40 years, the American Housing Survey has been America’s premier source of statistics on housing costs and quality,” Katherine O’ Regan, HUD’s Assistant Secretary for Policy Development and Research, says. “Working closely with experts at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, we added food insecurity to this survey to better understand the balance many lower income households face between the cost and quality of their housing and putting food on the table.” The Department of Housing and Urban Development in conjunction with The Department of Agriculture included the questions to determine whether the dietary quality or food consumption of household members was reduced or normal eating patterns were disrupted because the household lacked money for food any time during the last month.

One adult respondent per household was asked questions about experiences and behaviors that indicate food insecurity, such as being unable to afford balanced meals, cutting the size of meals because of too little money for food, or being hungry because of too little money for food. The American Housing Survey data is collected every other year by the Census Bureau and is the most comprehensive housing survey in the United States. It covers topics such as housing characteristics, housing costs, home improvements and neighborhood characteristics. In addition to food insecurity, the 2015 American Housing Survey includes three other new topics: the health and safety of homes, the use of housing counseling, and the importance of arts and culture. In addition to these topics, new questions explore the opinions of Americans on petty and major crime, satisfaction with schools, satisfaction with public transportation and risk for flooding or disasters. Results showed that 16.9 percent of black householders, 19.5 percent of American Indian and Alaska Native householders, and 21.4 percent of Pacific Islander householders were food insecure, all significantly higher than that of white householders, at 7.5 percent. About 16.6 percent of households with a person with a disability were food insecure, reporting “low” or “very low” food security, as opposed to 6.9 percent of households without a person with a disability. In addition to the new survey topics, the American Housing Survey covers topics such as physical housing characteristics and financial characteristics. Below are highlights from the 2015 national and metropolitan statistical area level findings among the 118,290,000 occupied units. More information on 25 selected metropolitan areas will be available later this year.

HOUSING COSTS • The median cost for electricity was $104 per month (renters $82, owners $117), $53 per month for piped gas (renters $42, owners $58), and $133 per month for fuel oil (renters $100, owners $150). • Median rent was $790 per month. This ranged from $250 for “other units,” such as boats, RVs or vans to $833 for single-unit, attached homes. • The median monthly cost paid for water was $46 per month.

FINANCING A HOME • Of the 70.4 million households that purchased or built their homes, 13.2 percent had no down payment; 12.6 percent put 5 percent or less down; 12.9 percent had a down payment of 6 to 10 percent; 18 percent put 11 to 20 percent down; 15.2 percent put 21 percent or more down; and 8.4 percent bought the home outright. The rest did not report. • Of owner-occupied units, 40.9 percent were owned free and clear; 53.6 percent had at least one regular or home-equity lump-sum mortgage only; and 5 percent had at least one home equity line of credit. The remainder had reverse mortgages. • Most homeowners — 95 percent — with a regular and/or home-equity mortgage had only one mortgage; 5 percent had two mortgages; and less than 1 percent had three or more. • Well over a third, or 38.4 percent, of homeowners with a primary mortgage refinanced. While most, or 71.2 percent, refinanced for a lower interest rate — 11.5 million homeowners. Others did so to receive cash, 11.7 percent. The median amount of cash received from refinance was $28,000. The median percentage of that spent on home additions, improvements and repairs was 10 percent.

OWNER HOME IMPROVEMENT • In a typical year, owners spent a median of $500 on routine maintenance or regular maintenance activities necessary for the preventive care of the structure, property and equipment. Such activities included painting, fixing leaks, repairing fences, cleaning gutters and removing dangerous trees. • There were 43.9 million households, or 59 percent, that performed more than 123.5 million home improvement projects, other than routine maintenance, in the last two years, spending more than $431.1 billion, with a median of $1,200 per job. • Around one third, or 33.6 percent, of owner-occupied units had at least one home improvement project in the last two years completed for energy efficiency purposes. • 6.8 percent did at least one project to improve accessibility for an elderly person or a person with a disability,

and 3.5 percent did at least one project to prepare the home for sale.

NEIGHBORHOOD • Householders of about 18.1 percent of all occupied housing units reported living near a body of water, and 14.4 percent of those reported that the unit was actually on waterfront property. In contrast, nearly 46.0 percent of all seasonal units were near a body of water, 53.5 percent of which were located on waterfront property. • Of the 59.8 million housing units in subdivisions — including multiunits and groups of mobile homes — 15.1 percent were located in secured communities with walls or fences, comprising 7.6 percent of all occupied units. • Of the 21.8 percent of all occupied housing units with a person age 55 or over, 11.3 percent were located in age-restricted communities. Of the remaining 88.7 percent, 24.4 percent said the majority of their neighbors are age 55 or over. 

U.S. home prices rose seven percent year over year to a median of $269,200 in October, according to Redfin, the next-generation real estate brokerage. This was the strongest annual price growth since December 2015. After rallying in recent months, home sales took a turn in October, dipping 3.2 percent compared to last year. The number of homes for sale continued to dwindle. Inventory dropped 8.6 percent compared to last year, marking 13 consecutive months of annual declines and the largest

year-over-year decline since May 2013. The total supply of homes for sale suffered in part due to a lack of fresh inventory. The number of homes listed last month was 6.9 percent lower than in October 2015. “While the October market rewarded sellers, their gains came at a cost,” says Redfin chief economist Nela Richardson. “With no new supply surge on the horizon, finding an affordable home will continue to be an unrelenting challenge for first-time buyers for the remainder of the year and into 2017.

Beginner’s guide to real estate investments METRO SERVICES Purchasing a house or property is about more than setting up a home. Although quite a number of people buy real estate to establish their future, long-term abodes, many others recognize the potentially lucrative investment that lies within a real estate purchase. Despite the ups and downs of the economy, real estate has become a common investment vehicle — one that has plenty of potential for making big gains for those who are willing to put in the effort. According to the experts at Entrepreneur, even in a bad economy, real estate investments will usually fare better than stocks. Real estate also continues to appreciate despite the occasional economical slow-down.

Like any other endeavor, there is a right and a wrong way to go about investing in real estate. Novices may not know where to begin their first forays into the real estate market as investors, even if they already own their own homes. Buying a property as an investment is an entirely different animal than buying a home to establish a residence. However, with the right guidance, anyone can dabble in real estate.

ESTABLISH FINANCIAL GOALS Before you even begin looking at properties or put forth the effort of meeting with an agent, you must determine what you expect from the investment. The days of buying real

estate and flipping it for a fast profit may no longer be here. However, real estate can provide a steady stream of long-term income. Understand what you hope to achieve by investing. If it’s to become an overnight millionaire, you may be looking at the wrong investment vehicle in real estate.

purchase price. Try to make offers on a variety of properties that work in your financial favor. And know what you want to do with the property — i.e., renovate and sell, remove and rebuild, or rehab and rent — before you buy. Fit the house to the plan, and not vice-versa.

ESTABLISH A PLAN

START SMALL

New investors who do not have a plan in place will likely spend too much or have more setbacks than others who have planned accordingly. When investing in real estate, it’s more about the bottom line than the property itself. According to Springboard Academy, a real estate academy for investors, look for motivated sellers and stick to a set

If this is your first time out there, stick with properties that will turnover quickly. Research areas in and around urban centers or close to transportation and shopping. A good starter property is a small house or a condominium that can be refurbished and then rented. Rental properties offer steady sources of income when renters are properly vetted, offers

Investopedia, an investment resource.

LOOK AT MANY DIFFERENT PROPERTIES Become an expert by learning as much as you can about what is out there. Attend open houses; look for vacant/unattractive properties; scour the classifieds in your local paper; or put the word out there that you’re interested in buying a property. Only look at properties that have motivated sellers, because then you’ll get closest to the price you want to pay. And don’t forget to research the area and the home turnover rate for the specific area where you are looking. Don’t make assumptions that a property will appreciate without doing your homework. 
