Equity-affluent Americans have options for tapping into funds WASHINGTON – Americans are awash in record amounts of equity in their homes, posing the question for millions: So what do we do with it? Leave it for a rainy day or retirement? Tap into it to remodel the house? Make a down payment on a vacation condo? These are crucial financial decisions, but the abundance of equity is giving large numbers of owners options they didn’t have before. Consider: • According to the latest Federal Reserve estimates, homeowners control more than $14.4 trillion in equity, up by nearly $1 trillion during 2017. This explosive growth is being driven by increases in home values and selling prices, tight inventories of houses for sale, and pay-downs of principal on existing mortgages. • As a practical matter, not all of this can be turned into spendable cash. Only roughly $5.4 trillion is “tappable,” according to data analytics and software firm Black Knight. That is, it could be extracted by owners using loan types that require borrowers to retain at least 20 percent equity after a transaction. To illustrate, say you own a $400,000 house with a $200,000 first
The Nation’s Housing Column KENNETH R. HARNEY mortgage balance. You’ve got $200,000 in equity, putting aside transaction costs. You’d like to transform some of it into cash to invest in a new business venture. How much can you get? Most lenders require that the total mortgage indebtedness secured by your home not exceed 80 percent of the property’s value – $320,000 in this case. So assuming that you qualify on credit and other criteria, you might be able to pull out up to $120,000 from your equity. There are three main ways you can consider to accomplish this: • Home-equi-
ty line of credit (HELOC). This is a credit line secured by your home equity that allows you to withdraw amounts you need whenever you choose. Typically, HELOCs come with floating interest rates tied to an index, often the bank prime rate. You pay interest-only for a pre-set period, at which point your outstanding balance comes due. Or the HELOC morphs into full amortization mode, requiring payments of principal plus interest. Here’s an example of current HELOC terms from an active lender, TD Bank. Your
house is valued at $400,000, you’ve got a $200,000 balance on a first mortgage at 3.25 percent that you snagged when rates were near historic lows. Assuming you’ve got solid credit, you might qualify for a $100,000 HELOC at an annual percentage rate (APR) of 3.99 percent, with monthly interest-only payments of $327.95. Looks good. But there are complications: If you want to use that $100,000 for anything other than home improvement or purchase, your interest payments won’t be deductible under new tax rules. Plus, with the Federal Reserve planning to ratchet up interest rates, your interest costs likely will increase.
• Cash-out refinancing. This involves replacing your current first mortgage with a larger one, allowing you to pocket the additional funds. A downside here: The loan you exchange your precious 3.25 percent rate for is likely to cost at least one percentage point more than your current loan. And you should check with your tax adviser on what precisely may be deductible if your new total debt exceeds the amount of your original mortgage. Here’s an example of a $100,000 cash-out refi using the same scenario above, provided by Paul Skeens, president of Colonial Mortgage Group in Waldorf, Maryland: Your new mortgage
amount on your $400,000 home will be $300,000, with a new fixed-mortgage rate for 30 years at 4.375 percent, plus half a point (.5 percent of the loan amount). Your monthly payment comes to $1,497.86. Skeens says in the present rising-rate environment, most of his clients are opting for the fixed-rate cash-out refi instead of a HELOC. But Freddie Mac deputy chief economist Len Kiefer says both cash-outs and HELOCs are likely to grow in popularity – the key difference being the rate owners have on their current mortgage. • Home-equity loan. These are traditional second mortgages and come with fully
amortizing fixed rates currently in the low and mid 5-percent range and higher, depending on your credit. TD Bank, for example, quotes a rate of 5.31 percent APR for 15 years with a payment of $805.98 for the same $100,000 deal discussed above. Some lenders offer more generous qualifying terms than HELOCs but have the same tax restrictions if you want to deduct the interest. Bottom line: If you’re among the newly equity-affluent Americans, check out your options with lenders. Or just sit tight and enjoy the ride. Ken Harney’s email address is Harneycolumn@ gmail.com.

Plant Care following freeze damage We’ve been getting quite a few calls in the Payne County Extension office concerning damage by the recent freezes. If the forecast holds true, it looks like we have at least another week with potential nighttime temperatures below freezing. While this freezing weather seems “late,” we are still within a normal period for this part of the state to drop below freezing. This just seems late because we’ve had so many early springs the last several years. It’s still a good idea to keep April 15 as our average frostfree date. It is also a good idea to have a “what if” plan in place for another couple weeks if

Buyer should focus on selling current home before looking for a new one The nation’s housing market is still strong, so there’s little reason for most sellers to accept an offer that hinges on a buyer’s unusual contingency. DEAR MR. MYERS: We want to buy a larger house, and found one that we really like. Problem is, we have not put our current home up for sale and would not have the money to close the new purchase until we sell it. Can we make an offer on the new house, contingent upon selling our current home first? ANSWER: You can, but it’s doubtful that your offer would be accepted. I understand your problem. Like many homeowners, you can’t afford to buy a nicer or larger house until you get the proceeds from the sale of your current property. Even if the purchase is completed, you don’t want to get stuck paying for two mortgages - the one that’s for your new home, and the other that is owed on your current property. From the sellers’ standpoint, though, your proposed contingency would likely be a big turnoff.

PROUDLY PRESENTS OUR 6TH ANNUAL
Stillwater NewsPress • Friday, April 13, 2018
For most homeowners, the garage is the black hole of their home’s universe. Unwanted items from all other areas of the house are pulled in, stacked and forgotten – until one day you open the door, look in and realize you can’t see from one side to the other. If this sounds familiar to you, a garage storage system could transform your dark abyss into an attractive, orderly space that you might even enjoy spending time in. STORAGE SHOULD BE A MULTIPRONGED ATTACK The art of storing things in your garage is first and foremost an organizational issue. The reason most garages look so bad is that there simply isn’t anywhere to put anything short of stacking it against the wall. By taking advantage of all available space and introducing a number of efficient storage solutions, you can transform the state of your garage overnight. START WITH CABINETRY Cabinet-based garage storage systems are the most popular place to start. Cabinets serve several purposes.
For starters, they have shelves – and shelves provide a home for your tools, paints, camping equipment and other belongings. Further, since everything has a place, it will be easier to keep the garage clean so long as you take the time to put things back where you found them. The other big benefit of installing cabinetry in your garage is that cabinets have doors. You’d be amazed how improved your garage looks when you’re able to hide your mess behind a thin piece of particle board, wood or stainless steel. LOOK INTO OVERHEAD GARAGE STORAGE The second area that is too often overlooked when it comes to developing a garage storage system is right above you. Taking advantage of all that unused overhead garage storage space can also work wonders when it comes to organizing your black hole.

fine the tea garden and represent the transitional seasons of spring and fall. Flowering cherry trees are the symbol of spring in Japan. Vivid Japanese maples in full autumn color identify the coming of winter. These are often the biggest source of color in the mostly green garden, but neither abide heat and drought. Consider adding both characters with one native Western redbud, Cercis occidentalis, with its early spring bloom and sunset fall foliage. Give some thought to your ground plane planting. While azaleas have always been primary here, climate change and drought may preclude them in some
areas. Among the easiest plants to start with are Pinus mugo mughus, the mugo pine, which stays small and adapts nicely to poodling or left natural. Nandina domestica, aka heavenly bamboo, is another vivid foliage plant. Siberian iris and other easy German iris types can work nicely in lieu of water iris in drier regions. The Japanese tea
garden is a beautiful tradition that makes sense out of an Asian inspired landscape. But in Japan, the gardens are more than that. They are symbolic of life, and through them humans discover themselves. Let’s borrow that age old tranquility with the plants and elements rooted in spirituality, architecture and a deep reverence for nature.

bowls of oil with floating wicks. Now they can be easily lighted with low voltage landscape fixtures. When locating these elements in your garden, create a setting for each. Add boulders or just use dense mounding plants to give them a context. The water bowl should be created on the pebble field, often Mexican black beach pebbles. Recycled irregular paving stones are another element of old Japanese gardens. In the past these were so valuable they were pieced together like a mosaic with other kinds of similar colored stones to create mixed unit paving. The use of natural flagstone slabs is the other walking surface. Two plants de-

The need to illuminate the path to the tea house resulted in the pagoda lights or towers, each used in a different way. In modern gardens it can become a focal point day and night, close or far in the view. The short squat designs we see are mass produced after the snow-viewing lanterns with their wide caps that catch the snow buildup for special effects on winter nights. Stone towers were originally temple ornaments repurposed in private gardens. Originally these were lit by shallow
