Dear Community,
NAR: Pending Home Sales Rise to Highest Level in 2 Years
Pending home sales increased in March and are well above a year ago, according to the National Association of Realtors. NAR’s pending home sales index, a forwardlooking indicator based on contract signings, rose 4.1% to 101.4 in March from an upwardly revised 97.4 in February. It is 12.8% above March 2011 when it was 89.9. The data reflects contracts but not closings. The index is now at the highest level since April 2010 when it reached 111.3. Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, said 2012 is expected to be a year of recovery for housing. “Firstquarter sales closings were the highest first-quarter sales in five years. The latest contract signing

activity suggests the second quarter will be equally good,” he said. “The housing market has clearly turned the corner,” Yun added. “Rising sales are bringing down inventory and creating much more balanced conditions ... which means home prices will be rising in more areas as the year progresses.” The index is based on a large national sample, typically representing about 20% of transactions for existing-home sales. An index of 100 is equal to the average level of contract activity during 2001, which was the first year of examination.

MOORE COUNTY HOME BUILDERS ASSOCIATION
How Long Will it Last?
FRIDAY, MAY 4, 2012
By Bob Van Houten Moore County Home Builders Association President
From Roof to Paint, The Life Expectancy of Your Home’s Components
Just like the human body, your home is made of parts, all working in unison, many unseen and unthought-of during the course of your daily life. From the roof to the foundation, and from the front door to the back, a home consists of literally thousands of components. Ideally, these components might all have an unlimited life expectancy. But given the realities of day-to-day use, how long can a home owner reasonably expect a home component such as a window or roof to last? A study conducted by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and sponsored by Bank of America Home Equity provides insight into the life expectancies of a number of products in the home. The study intentionally overlooked con-
sumer preferences, acknowledging that if they were considered, kitchen counters would be replaced long before the end of their useful life, and rooms may be repainted only once in 50 years. Other factors that can have a significant effect on life expectancy include maintenance, proper installation, the level of use and the quality of the materials. And some components, while remaining functional, become obsolete due to changing technology or improvements. Insulation According to the study, all types of insulation can be expected to last a lifetime if they are properly installed and are not punctured, cut, burned or exposed to ultraviolet rays and are kept dry. Proper installation not only extends the lifetime of your insulation, it also en-
thoroughly and installing new glazing with a putty knife or caulking gun. Some types of glazing require a coat of latex paint for weatherproofing. Roofs Like windows, the life expectancy of a roof depends on local weather conditions as well as appropriate maintenance and quality of the materials. Slate, copper and clay/concrete roofs can be expected to last more than 50 years. Roofs made of asphalt shingles should last for about 20 years; fiber cement shingles should last about 25 years; and wood shakes for about 30 years. In regards to roof maintenance, it’s important to be proactive to prevent emergency and expensive repairs. Look for include damaged or loose shingles; gaps in the flashing where the roofing and sid-
sures that it will perform properly, resulting in reduced energy use and expenses, as well as increased home comfort. Windows Windows, because they can be exposed to extreme weather conditions, have a much shorter life expectancy. The study, which polled experts in the various fields, found that aluminum windows can reasonably be expected to last 15 to 20 years and wooden windows can last upwards of 30 years. An important element of maintaining your windows is the window glazing — the putty that secures the glass to the sash. Over time, this glazing can crack, resulting in drafty and loose panes. Available at any hardware store, glazing can be replaced by simply chipping or scrapping off the old putty, cleaning the window
ing meet vents and flues; and damaged mortar around the chimney (especially at the joints, caps and washes). If you see any signs of damage, call a professional to repair it. Paint Although some avid decorators may repaint every six months, homes usually need to be painted every five to 10 years depending on the content of the paint (its glossiness), its exposure to moisture and traffic. Quality paints are expected to last upwards of 20 years. Exterior paint conditions should be regularly monitored in order to catch problems early on. Assessing paint for dirt, mold, cracking, peeling, fading and rusting — and repairing
immediately, usually through simple cleaning methods such as scrubbing or power washing — can end up saving home owners much more costly repainting jobs in the long term. Remember, these numbers are averages, with usage, weather, maintenance and a number of other factors influencing life expectancy. Chances are, changing trends will dictate a shorter life span, as home owners update and remodel their homes. For more information on home maintenance, contact the Moore County Home Builders Association at (910)944-2992 or visit us online at www.mchba.com.

Get your outdoor space in tip-top shape
FRIDAY, MAY 4, 2012
(ARA) - Spring has been knocking at the door all winter long. With record-low snow falls behind us and a forecast of more unseasonablymild days ahead, why not take advantage of the temperate weather and get a jump on your outdoor spring cleaning now? Here's a list of todos guaranteed to get your outdoor space in tip-top shape so you can enjoy the even warmer weather ahead: * Make your house sparkle. Mildew growth is inevitable when a winter is warm and moist. To stop mold in its tracks and brighten up the exterior of your home, try using a cleaner specifically formulated for outdoor cleaning. The best part is you can do it yourself without hiring a professional or renting a power washer, which is a huge cost saver. JOMAX House Cleaner and Mildew Killer is a great option. It is easy to apply and is guaranteed to kill mold and mildew and remove tough stains and stubborn dirt without scrubbing or power washing. Plus it's safe for use around plants and shrubs. Or for quick and easy routine cleaning, try JOMAX House Wash. Just hook it up to a garden hose, spray, wait five to 10 minutes for dirt and stains to loosen and rinse off. * Clean your way to a dream deck. Whether you're hosting a barbecue or just enjoying your morning coffee, the deck is a place of solace. After weathering the winter storms, it could

probably use a facelift. Start by thoroughly cleaning the surface to remove any debris or mold with a deck cleaner, like Wolman Deck & Fence Brightener Wood Cleaner & Coating Prep. It can be used on all types of wood and will loosen dirt and discolorations in just 10 minutes. After cleaning, you may want to restore, beautify and protect the wood by applying a deck finish. Wolman DuraStain is available in 22 of today's most ontrend solid and semitransparent colors, so you're sure to find a finish that complements that new furniture set. You can roll, brush, or spray it on the surface for easy application. Not only will it make your deck look brand new, it will provide protection against water damage and fading caused by the sun. * The gateway to your haven. Sidewalks and steps are the first things guests see when they visit your home, yet most homeowners neglect them. That's because most people assume the only option for aging concrete is replacement. Fortunately, there are products that can make your concrete look new again, without spending a fortune, like Rust-Oleum SemiTransparent Concrete Stain. It comes in a kit with all the tools needed to complete the project and is offered in seven of today's most popular concrete colors. A tint base kit is available if you prefer a custom color. What's more: applying it is easy, even if you're an inexperi-

enced do-it-yourselfer. First, clean the area by sweeping and hosing off the surface. Next, spray or brush on the stain and let it dry over night before walking on it. And voila, it's really that simple. Your revived concrete will be sure to wow your guests. For additional spring spruce up ideas and outdoor cleaning tips, visit www.rustoleum.com.
