What Do Rising Interest Rates Mean For You? $/# $) ޕ/$*) / ''Ҋ/$( #$"#.Ѷ /# - ' . -1 $. "ޔ#/$)" & 4 ( &$)" (*) 4 (*- 3+ ).$1 /* *--*2 ҍ *- - $.$)" /# . $)/ - ./ - / .ѵ In June, the Fed raised rates by 0.75 of a percentage point, which may not seem like much, but it’s the biggest rate hike since 1994. More hikes are likely, too, as inflation continues to surge. This makes the complicated process of buying a home even more complicated. Here’s how. IF YOU’RE BUYING You want to lock in that lower rate and find a property fast before rates go up even more. A mortgage rate lock freezes your interest rate for a period of time during which you mush close the loan or the rate will fluctuate again. This is important with rising rates. Be careful, though. Your lender may charge a fee for locking the loan or roll that into the cost of the loan. Make sure it’ll be worth your while to lock. Rate locks can also be voided if any of your information changes. If your credit score takes a hit, you change employment, your property appraisal changes or anything else, the rate lock could roll off, leaving you open to paying more for your home loan. IF YOU’RE SELLING As money gets more expensive, more buyers will leave the real estate market, opting to stay in rentals or in their current home until mortgages become cheap again. However, even with rising rates, mortgage rates are still near historic lows, thanks to years of the Fed

REAL ESTATE 101 Understanding Basis Points A basis point is the common unit of measure for interest rates and other percentages in finance. One basis point is equal to 1/100 of 1%. They are used to show the change in value or rate of a financial instrument. They can be abbreviated to bp, bps or bips. keeping interest rates at or near zero. In 1981, for instance, during the OPEC-fueled recession, mortgage rates soared to near 20%, finishing the decade at 10%, which would still seem outrageous to most borrowers today. This means that you are going to have to work harder than you did even just a few months ago to sell your home. Consider paying all or part of the closing costs, particularly if the home you’re selling is marketed to first-time buyers. You may also consider offering sweeteners such as home warranties, including appliances with the sale, and other things to entice buyers to pounce on your property. This is where working with a real
estate professional could really pay off. They know the market in your area intimately and can offer you tips to put your home head and shoulders above other inventory, attracting what buyers there are as rates inch upward. THE FORECAST Unfortunately for buyers and sellers alike, the forecast foretells more Fed hikes in the future this year. So far this year, an aggressive Federal Reserve Board has hiked rates by a full percentage point and it could go all the way up to nearly 3% before the year is out. Making money more expensive is one way to cool the economy (and hopefully that record inflation), but the balance for Fed officials is not doing too much, too fast, pushing the country into a recession. Two of the last three tightening cycles have ended in a recession, and odds are that this one will, too, making markets (and homebuyers) uneasy about the future. That unease translates into people staying put wherever they are.

Understanding Home Insulation Insulation lowers your cooling and heating costs — but how?
Home insulation slows down heat transfer from the outside during summer months, and from the inside when the weather turns cool. Here’s the way that happens. COMMON MATERIALS Home insulation materials typically relate to the way it will be used. Bulkier insulation is needed for stop heat from moving around in open spaces like an attic. Foam boards will trap air, while UHÁHFWLYH IRLOV DUH LGHDO IRU FRROHU climates since they redirect heat away. The most common material XVHG LV ÀEHUJODVV ZKLFK FDQ EH blown in using special machines or rolled out when attached to paper. Insulation may also be made out of foams, wool, foils or cellulose. HOW HEAT MOVES Conduction happens as heat moves through solid objects. In our everyday lives, you might notice the spoon — but not its handle — warming after it’s been placed in a hot bowl of soup. Convection, on
the other hand, relates to how heat passes through gasses and liquids. (So-called air fryers take advantage of this process by moving hot air around your food.) As convection takes place, warm air will rise while cool air will sink. YOUR R-VALUE Home insulation stands as a barrier to this process, helping control the cost of air conditioning and heating our homes. But not every area of your home needs the same protection: Attic spaces are subjected to far harsher changes in air temperature, for instance, than interior walls. That’s where the insulation material’s “R-value” comes into play. This number indicates how resistant it is to conductive heat. Adding more insulation will increase its R-value, improving your home’s defenses against heat transfer. Your particular needs will be based on where the insulation is WR EH SODFHG DQG WKH VSHFLÀFV RI temperature, moisture and the home’s age. Your needs could also change over time, so consult a local contractor before purchasing.
GETTING AN AUDIT If you’re feeling a draft or VXŲHULQJ IURP KLJKHU HQHUJ\ bills, you likely have an issue with your home’s insulation. Contact a local professional or your power company about an energy audit. They’re often low cost, and may be free in certain situations. They’ll examine the home, typically using calibrated equipment, and then ask certain questions about things like where you regularly set the thermostat. Follow their recommendations to lower your costs.

Do You Need Flood Insurance ? Buying a home can be a confusing time, especially if it’s your ޔ-./ /$( ѵ ++- $. -.Ѷ inspections, closing costs and more can leave your head .+$))$)"ѵ One thing that’s going to come up time and again is your property insurance policy. You may be surprised to learn that, with most homeowners insurance policies, floods are not covered. THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE PROGRAM Your regular policy won’t cover flood insurance. Instead, if you are required to have flood insurance by your lender or if you elect to cover your property on your own (more on that later), your insurer will most likely sell you a policy from the National Flood Insurance Program, or NFIP. The NFIP started in 1968 with two goals, to reduce flood damage and protect property owners. Over the years since it started, the program has paid out billions in claims and also has helped the owners of flooding-prone properties relocate to safer ground. In 2012, the Biggert-Waters Flood Insurance Reform Act authorizes the NFIP to create a national flood mapping program and implements changes to the
©ADOBE STOCK
program to guarantee fiscal soundness just seven years after Hurricane Katrina ran up a $17 billion NFIP bill and the same year Hurricane Sandy caused more than $8 billion in claims. In 2014, another piece of legislation placed limits on flood insurance rate hikes, even as larger and more costlier storms run up astronomical claims. HOW IT WORKS Through the NFIP, you can get insurance on a property in a flood plain that traditional insurers may not cover. A similar property not found to be in a flood zone by that extensive mapping program we talked about earlier is very inexpensive to insure, meaning that those payments cover the losses on properties more prone to flooding. After 50 years of the NFIP, the program is work-
ing to close that insurance gap and guarantee all Americans flood coverage no matter where they live. The program also helps local communities manage floodplains and reduce the built environment’s exposure to flooding. The program’s maps now cover 100% of the nation’s populated areas, meaning that when you buy your next home, you can see exactly what your risk of flooding is. That risk, often expressed
as a flood zone, may mean you’re going to be a part of the NFIP whether you want to or not. Some lenders require properties in certain flood zones carry NFIP coverage to keep a loan. It’s also important to note that the program re-evaluates its maps every so often. Properties that once didn’t have to carry flood insurance may be rezoned depending on certain changes in the community, including climate change and rising sea levels.
REAL ESTATE 101 Flood Zones Flood zones are geographic areas that FEMA defines according to levels of flood risk. Flood zones starting with A are high risk and those starting with V are high risk in coastal areas. Most lenders require flood insurance on properties in Zones A and V. Zones B, X and C are moderate to low risk areas and flood insurance is available, but may not be required.
