Know when to lock in on a mortgage rate By Michele Lerner bankrate.com

By Helaine Fendelman and Joe Rosson Scripps Howard News Service

Dear Helaine and Joe: I wonder if you can provide information on a complete set of dinnerware, which serves eight. All I know is that the set is old. The pieces are marked “Mintons, est. 1793, Commodore, Made in England.” I would appreciate the age and value? – J.P. Dear J.P.: Thomas Minton began making earthenware in Stoke, Staffordshire, England, in 1793. The manufacturing of bone china did not begin until the latter part of 1797. The company’s early wares were generally not marked until about 1805 when it be-

When is the timing right to lock in your mortgage rate? With a rate lock, lenders are obligated (with a few exceptions) to offer a home loan at an agreed-upon rate regardless of whether mortgage rates have changed between the time of the loan approval and the closing date. Consumers looking for a mortgage who find a great rate typically choose to lock it in for a specified period of time. Todd Dal Porto, a national sales executive with Bank of America Home Loans, says most lenders offer a loan-lock period of 30, 45, 60 or 90 days. If you’re shopping for a home loan, when is the best time to lock your mortgage rate? “The time to lock in a loan depends completely on individual circumstances, so borrowers should work closely with their loan officer to make the decision,” Dal Porto says. The earliest point at which a borrower can lock in a loan is after the initial

emphasizes that each borrower’s individual circumstances dictate the best time to lock. “There’s no perfect time to lock a loan, but a lender or mortgage broker can check with the loan processor to get a feel for how long it will take to have the loan go through underwriting,” Mendelson says. Dal Porto agrees that individual borrower circumstances influence the best time to lock. Choosing when to lock the loan for refinance is easier. The settlement date for a refinance loan is driven only by the lender, while a purchase loan typically has a settlement date that depends on the seller as well as the buyer. Dal Porto says the industry average for a purchase loan is 45 days from application to closing, while a refinance averages 60 to 90 days. Although the term “rate lock” sounds unyielding, many lenders are willing to be flexible with borrowers. Borrowers should also remember that a rate lock is not guaranteed in all circumstances.

Vintage dinnerware not worth much

gan employing a device that resembled the one used by Sevres in France plus the letter “M” with a pattern number below. Minton began making its “Commodore” pattern in 1934, and the mark on the back of the pieces indicates that these items were made between 1934 and 1950. As for the replacement value of these pieces, if all are in perfect condition, the eight dinner plates should be worth about $335; the eight cups and saucers around $380; and the eight bread-and-butter plates, $145. If there are eight luncheon plates, the replacement value is approximately $350. But if these are salad plates, the value is $300. We hasten to warn that if J.P. is interested in selling her dinnerware set, the amount she will be able to receive is much, much less. Vintage dinnerware does not sell well as a general rule, and if J.P. receives 25 to 30 percent of the amounts listed, she will be doing well indeed.

loan approval. However, many wait until they have found a home to purchase. Borrowers typically wait because they don’t know how many days it will take to find a home and have an offer accepted. They worry that by locking in too early, they may miss the opportunity for a better rate before they complete a purchase or get stuck paying extra to extend the lock. In addition, a longer rate lock is more costly. For example, a borrower who chooses a 30-day lock on a loan may pay a 4.875 percent rate and zero points, while a 60-day lock might cost 1 point (equal to 1 percent of the loan) or a slightly higher rate with a half-point, Dal Porto says. Brad Blackwell, executive vice president and national retail sales manager of Wells Fargo Home Mortgage, generally urges clients to wait for an accepted offer before locking a loan. “If you don’t have a ratified contract, you don’t want to lock in your rate and have the clock ticking while you start searching for a home,” Blackwell says.

Moving Tips Certain tasks in life are synonymous with stress. Moving is one of those tasks. For those moving themselves, there are ways to reduce that stress and make the process easier. Forty million people, or roughly one in four adults, in the United States move every year. To make the most of the DIY move, follow these tips for success.

1. Start to gather boxes. Rather than purchase moving boxes, visit local businesses to collect boxes that are being discarded. Save boxes that have been shipped to the house from items ordered online.

2. Get estimates from rental These handsome planters, made of cedar with a slate inlay, are able to winter in cold climates without damage. (Tribune Media Services)

Keep containers front and center By Sean Conway Tribune Media Services

Summer is winding down, and throughout the coming weeks flowerbeds and planted containers will be offering up their last gasps of color. It’s time to start thinking ahead to fall. When planted containers start looking tired, it’s time for a change. Just as there are plants that thrive during the heat of the summer, there are others that thrive in the cooler, shorter days of fall. Shrubs and cool season annuals and perennials are excellent for replanting tired containers. A trip to your local garden center will provide a variety of choices. Many gardeners don’t consider using shrubs in containers, but they should. Shrubs are often the best choice for fall and winter container plantings, perfect for enlivening an outdoor space or accenting an entrance. Whether deciduous or evergreen, shrubs focus your attention on foliage and structure rather than on flowers, which can be fleeting. In colder regions of the country, ornamental conifers are a good choice for containers. As most conifers are native to mountainous regions, they’re well suited to withstanding cold temperatures. Planting containers with evergreens like conifers

provides an attractive alternative during fall and winter months to an empty container on your deck, patio or flanking your front door. One of the primary advantages of using shrubs in your containers is that, unlike annuals and perennials, they tend only to grow seasonally, usually in the spring and summer months. In other words, if you plant a shrub in a container at this time of year, it will stay roughly the same size through the coming months. This is ideal for containers placed by an entrance. Deciduous shrubs are often good choices for southern regions, where they will often hold their foliage well into the winter months. They also offer the advantage of a variety of foliage color and texture. Variegated leaved shrubs are perfect for dark corners, while dark-leaved shrubs are perfect for adding a dramatic accent. In areas of the country that experience temperatures well below freezing like in Colorado, choosing the proper container is as important as choosing the right plants to fill it. Remember that ceramic, terracotta and glazed earthenware containers absorb and hold moisture. When temperatures fall below freezing, they will crack. If you live in a cold climate, consider using nonporous containers. These come in a variety of attractive forms, typically made of Fiber-

glas with glazed finishes or of plastic made to look like terracotta. Recently on “Cultivating Life,” expert carpenter Tom Tamborello showed me how easy it is to make a planter from cedar wood and store-bought slate tile. This attractive planter has the advantage of being lightweight, rot resistant and impervious to freezing temperatures. This style of container will compliment almost any home, and the stone tiles are available at building stores in a variety of colors. For details on how to make it, visit cultivatinglife.com and click the “building” tab, or enter “shrub containers” into the search box. Planters such as the one we made on “Cultivating Life” can be filled with soil and planted, or they can be used as containers to hold potted plants. For those who want to have containers in places where lugging soil is a problem (such as in urban settings or on rooftops), this type of container can be used as an outdoor cachepot by placing a potted shrub inside it. This option not only makes it easy to move the container to various locations but also to change out the container seasonally. Sean Conway’s television series, “Cultivating Life,” airs Saturdays at 12:30 p.m. ET on WGN America. His new book, “Sean Conway’s Cultivating Life” (Artisan Books, 2009), describes 125 projects for backyard living. www.cultivatinglife.com.

agencies. Call truck rental companies and list the dimension of the truck and features desired, such as a lift gate. Compare the different prices and offers to determine which company provides the best deal.

3. Rent the largest truck available. It’s better to have room leftover in the truck than not enough room for everything. For those moving out of state or a great distance, rent a car trailer at the same time so the car can be towed behind the moving truck.

4. Consider one of the storage/ moving businesses. Today there are companies that will drop off a storage unit at the house and then store it at their warehouse. This enables homeowners to pack items not regularly used, store them for a few months, then have the storage unit shipped to the new home when it’s time to unpack.

Keep boxes light. It’s better to have more boxes that are lighter weight than fewer that are much too heavy. Heavy boxes make moving difficult and reduce the number of potential helpers.

6. Pack boxes securely. Reinforce the bottom of boxes with packing tape to prevent items from falling out.

Use a labeling system. Label each box with what’s inside and where the box should go in the new house to make it easier to unpack. – Metro Services

Continued from 5 which currently has 75 acres in production. “We used to get wet hops from Yakima Valley (Washington), but we want to use local hops for our beer,” says Ro Guenzel, head brewer for Left Hand Brewing Company in Longmont. “They’re better, fresher and we can visit the fields to select the rows that we want.” Wet hops, unprocessed cones used within 12 hours of Carol O’Meara harvest, are expensive to ship by overnight express for brewing Left Hand’s Warrior beer. Now Guenzel brings in his hops from Sunrise Farm in Paonia, which picks and packs the hops onto small airplanes for a quick trip over the mountains to Longmont. “We can only make a wet hop beer once per year, when hops are picked. Since they’re not dried, there’s no loss of volatile oils. They provide a different character to the beer, it’s a little greener, brighter flavor,” he says. Balancing malty sweetness with a touch of bitterness is not all hops do; each type brings its own flavor to the brew. “Hops can be citrusy, piney, earthy – they’re all unique.” Guenzel was happy to take the two bushels of hops harvested from my plants to add to the Warrior brew. “Cascades are the most widely used, they’re the quintessential hop.” But Hamm also recommends Chinook, Crystal or Nugget for people who want a tried and true plant. Then get to know your neighbor, taking them beer in exchange for their patience with your vine.

Host an exchange party with your friends

An exchange party is a fun and easy way to host a social gathering with a minimum of shopping, baking and cleaning. Plus, after your party, you will have a variety of homemade foods to enjoy and share. You can have an exchange of almost any sort: desserts, appetizers or specialty dishes. One of the easiest and most fun exchange parties is a simple cookie exchange, and it’s an especially great party to host over the holidays.

Here’s a quick plan for a Couples’ Holiday Switcheroo Cookie and Appetizer Party. This is a wonderful party to have during cocktail hour or early evening; however, a simple cookie exchange also makes a great ladies’ morning-coffee gathering or an after-school children’s party. In fact, you can modify this idea for nearly any sort of exchange party, from gourmet to simple. What you do: First, be sure the directions are clear

Times-Call / Home & Real Estate Weekly

to your invited guests on the invitations that you e-mail or send. His job: Make festive appetizers to share with 24 other guests (26 including you two). Her job: Bake one type of holiday cookie or candy. Place a half-dozen homemade cookies or candies, with a copy of the recipe inside and your name, into 13 individual bags, tins or boxes. In addition, provide a platter with a dozen cookies (same type and

cut into bite-sized pieces if they’re not already small) to be sampled at the party. As hosts, you provide the drinks and the hospitality. You can make your party as elegant or as casual as you like. Use your best china (the holiday Spode you’ve been itching to bring out) or use designer holiday paper plates and napkins (recommended). – Geralin Thomas, hgtv.com
