Architectural Elements Best Left Untouched

Architectural Elements Best Left Untouched

Some items in older homes should not be touched in a remodel, designers warn.

Homeowners should hold off on removing certain architectural details because they could be removing some selling points in the process.

“Architectural features that give homes distinct character should be left intact,” Patrick Garrett, a broker and owner at H&H Realty in Trussville, Ala., told realtor.com®. “There are home buyers looking for homes with unique features and older homes with character and charm.”

Realtor.com® highlighted several qualities in older homes that shouldn’t be touched, and molding was at the top of the list.

“On the inside of the home, the first things we salvage are the staircase, window trim, and crown molding,” Thomas Kenny, co-founder of Scott Simpson Design + Build in Northbrook, Ill., told realtor.com®. “The original molding, in particular, gives the home character and is usually crafted from high-quality materials that will stand the test of time.”

Stained glass is another feature that experts recommend keeping, and it can make a home more valuable. “Once you come across [stained-glass windows], you will remember them for a lifetime,” Anastasios Gliatis, CEO at Anastasios Interiors in New York City, told realtor.com®. “They also provide a spiritual, peaceful feeling, since they are identified with churches.”

Exposed brick walls are nothing to put a sledgehammer too either. Instead, make it the focal point of the room, says Laurie DiGiacomo, principal designer at Laurie DiGiacomo Interiors in Ho-Ho-Kus, N.J. “You should not remove exposed brick, because it lends a unique architectural element that brings texture and a rustic vibe to a space,” she told realtor.com®.

Don’t touch those doors either, designers add. Solid core and paneled doors don’t compare to todays’ big-box styles. “Old solid-core doors, and often their metal elements like doorplates, are real gems,” Jonathan Self, a real estate professional at Center Coast Realty in Chicago, told realtor.com®. “You can’t buy these with any amount of money, because the craftsmanship it takes to make them doesn’t exist anymore.” Gliatis adds that preserving paneled doors that include brass knobs and hinges is particularly a smart move because they are expensive and difficult to find nowadays.

Foreclosures Are Rising Again

Foreclosures Are Rising Again

More vacant foreclosures are appearing in some markets. But while pockets of property distress continue to haunt those areas, economists say there’s no need for panic.

Vacant homes in foreclosure limbo—labeled “zombie foreclosures”—rose 3.1% in the first quarter, according to a newly released report from ATTOM Data Solutions, a real estate data firm. About 282,800 homes are in the process of foreclosure, and 8,700 are sitting empty as zombie foreclosures, the report notes.

While the percentage has risen, it is still down from 5.8% in the first quarter of 2014, when zombie foreclosures were much more troublesome for the housing market.

The number of properties in the process of foreclosure in the first quarter of this year is falling, but the number of vacant foreclosures that occupy that number is rising, the report indicates.

“Homes abandoned by owners facing a possible foreclosure remain little more than a blip on the radar across the country, as one of the main scourges of the Great Recession continues to show little or no signs of re-emerging,” says Todd Teta, chief product officer with ATTOM Data Solutions. “Even with the slight increase in these so-called ‘zombie foreclosures,’ so far this year, there are still pockets of distress with elevated numbers of abandoned homes. But in yet another reflection of how the national housing market is still booming, you can drive through many towns and not pass a single such property.”

By metro level, Peoria, Ill., has the highest percent of zombie foreclosures at 12.7%, followed by Cleveland at 10.5%, Youngstown, Ohio at 9.1%, Syracuse, N.Y., at 8.8%, and Knoxville, Tenn., at 8.8%.

Overall, more than 1.52 million U.S. single-family homes and condos are vacant, which represents 1.5% of all homes, according to the report. Zombie foreclosures represent a fragment of that—one in every 175 properties, or less than 1 percent, according to the report.

Home owners fear on the houses they buy.

Home owners fear on the houses they buy.

Home owners have been leveraging record equity on the homes they have, but many are worrying about their investments.  A report from Lending Tree shows that more than 1500 home owners in  the USA to see what they feel about home ownership.

Most seem to worry about the big repairs that always seem to happen with homes.  Over 1/3 of the people that responded to the survey list major repairs like roofs, siding and windows and doors as their biggest fears.

Other fears that were returned on the survey from home owners were:

  • 17% The value of the home will drop
  • 13% Higher mortgage payments due to taxes
  • 8% Having trouble buying a new home
  • 6% Having trouble selling the existing home
  • 4% Will not be able to afford the mortgage should something happen to income

 

About 2 % had other worries and over 18% of home owners surveyed had no worries what so ever about the home they purchase.

A lot of people that took the survey worried that the homes people are buying are starting to be less affordable.   And because of the higher home purchase price they are not planning on moving anytime soon so the major repairs are always on their minds.

So basically the higher home prices become the more home owners with sit tight, but in doing that they conversely start to worry or fear about major repairs that are coming down the pipeline.   So it’s basically a cart before the horse analogy or a chicken of egg, whichever you please.

Contact me and we can go over the fears of buying or selling a home and what might be right for your situation depending what the state of your current home is.  It may be better to sit tight and do repairs or it might be better to jump ship into a move in ready home and let someone else deal with the hassles of repairing your old home.

Don’t Leave Tax Breaks on the Table

Don’t Leave Tax Breaks on the Table

Remind your sellers to ask their financial advisers about the tax deductions they’re eligible for in a home sale. One of the big ones they may qualify for: selling costs.

As long as the costs are directly tied to the sale of the home, they qualify for tax breaks. Also, sellers who have lived in their home as their principal residence for at least two out of the five years prior to selling it can earn tax advantages. “You can deduct any costs associated with selling the home—including legal fees, escrow fees, advertising costs, and real estate agent commissions,” says Joshua Zimmelman, president of Westwood Tax and Consulting in Rockville Center, N.Y.

But tax experts warn that these costs can’t be deducted like mortgage interest. They are subtracted from the sales price of the home. That turns into a capital gains tax.

Other potential deductions for sellers are home improvement and repair costs. Sellers who made renovations to make their home more marketable may be able to deduct those costs from their taxes. Renovation projects could include painting the house or repairing the roof or water heater, for example. “If you needed to make home improvements in order to sell your home, you can deduct those expenses as selling costs, as long as they were made within 90 days of the closing,” Zimmelman says.

$400K buys you in real estate at the Jersey Shore

Whether it’s a second home or a permanent move, having a place at the Jersey Shore certainly has its pluses — but beach access at your doorstep (or just a few minutes away) comes at a price.

Within the Shore region, what $400K can land you varies wildly: It could mean a 4,624-square-foot Atlantic City home on an inlet or a minuscule 500-square-foot Lavallette home a block from the beach.

(Never mind that that budget won’t get you nearly as much home on the coast as it does in the rest of the state.)

Got $400K to spare? Here, a look at your potential future Shore homes.

Located on the inlet of the Venice Lagoon, this 4,624-square-foot custom built Atlantic City home has three bedrooms and three bathrooms. Highlights of the home include an open floor plan, a large stationary dock with a power post and a floating dock, and fireplaces in the living room and master bedroom.

The home  last sold in 2008 for $315,000. It has been on the market since May 2017.

Property taxes for the home were $13,510 in 2017.

The median home value in Atlantic City is $120,100, according to Zillow.

Another home on the waterfront, the listing for this 3,348-square-foot Brick home describes it as a “waterfront oasis” that features a “tranquil setting” and “breathtaking” views of the Metedeconk River.

The Colonial-style home has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and a two-car garage. The kitchen has recently been updated with stainless steel appliances and a breakfast bar.
