Upscale Kitchen Features That Can Boost A Home’s Value

November 17, 2021 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

Between preparing to host family and friends for Thanksgiving and making gift lists and checking them twice, the whirlwind of activities during the busy holiday season can feel more like a blast of arctic air than a hint of festive cheer.

Kitchens are put through the ultimate stress test on Thanksgiving, with every appliance and inch of countertop space pushed to the limit. However, certain kitchen features are not only better equipped to handle the pressures of entertaining a crowd, they could increase a home’s sale price when it comes time to move.

Steam oven: Of the more than 220 features or design elements Zillow researched, steam ovens topped the 2021 list of home features that sell. When this trendy appliance is mentioned in listing descriptions, those homes can sell for 4.9% more than similar homes without one.

“Steam — usually combined with convection — fuels a powerful cooking appliance that can enhance a kitchen designed for wellness,” says Jamie Gold, author of Wellness by Design. “A combi-steam oven offers health benefits and functionality. It cooks food with reduced fat and better-preserved nutrients, and allows home cooks to multitask and get food on the table quickly. This popular appliance type will perfectly cook protein, vegetable sides and pie at the same time.”

Butcher block: This is the only countertop material that can also serve as a cutting surface, which comes in handy when cooking for a crowd. Buyers snap up homes that include butcher block in their listing descriptions nearly four days faster and for 2.7% more than expected.

Smart appliances: Tech-connected kitchen appliances allow cooks to control everything from their grocery list to a dish’s cooking time, all from their phone or tablet. Smart refrigerators can send homeowners a text message to let them know they have run out of milk, while smart ovens can monitor how the turkey is cooking and automatically shift to warming mode when it’s done.

When it’s time to move, homes with smart appliances can sell for 3% more than expected.

Quartz: Homes with this durable countertop material can sell for 3.2% more than expected, and for good reason, according to Gold.

“Quartz, also called engineered stone, offers a low-maintenance kitchen work surface ideal for busy households and Thanksgiving meal prep,” Gold explained. “This countertop material has grown in popularity for its heat, stain and scratch resistance, and for increasingly realistic stone looks. Quartz’s nonporous properties make it an ideal surface when handling raw turkey or eggs, because it won’t harbor bacteria.”

Dual-fuel range: This stove offers the best of both worlds for home cooks with a gas cooktop and an electric oven. Electric ovens can offer more consistent results for baking, ensuring the Thanksgiving mac and cheese or pumpkin pie is evenly browned. A gas cooktop heats quickly and offers more precise temperature control for cooking cranberry sauce and gravy.

Home buyers also eat up this feature, and can spend 2.2% more on properties that include mention of a dual-fuel range in their listing descriptions.

Wine fridge: Extra beverage storage is always helpful when serving a crowd, and a wine fridge can chill much more than just wine. Plus, homes with this useful feature can sell for 1.7% more and nearly two days faster than expected.

Pot filler: A pot filler installed over a cooktop or range swings out from the wall and extends over a pot, making it easy to fill when preparing to cook pasta or boil potatoes, saving cooks the trouble of carrying a heavy pot of water from the sink to the stove. Plus, Zillow research finds this faucet can contribute to homes selling for 1.5% more.

Touchless faucet: With health and safety top of mind for today’s buyers, homes with touchless faucets can sell nearly two days faster than expected and for 0.6% more. Motion-activated technology turns on the kitchen faucet, making for easier Thanksgiving cleanup and preventing the spread of bacteria and viruses.

There are many factors that contribute to the speed of a home’s sale and to its sale price, and installing these kitchen amenities does not guarantee or definitively cause a home’s ultimate sale price to rise. Instead, these features contribute to a buyer’s overall positive impression of a home, and in turn, the buyer’s willingness to pay more for that home.

And one more note: If these features just happen to deliver a dry turkey and burned pumpkin pie, consider a pizza oven, which can contribute to a 3.4% sale premium.

“The kitchen has long been the heart of the home and it’s become even more important this past year,” says Amanda Pendleton, Zillow’s home trends expert. “As a result, pandemic-era home buyers appear willing to pay a premium for high-end kitchen amenities. Homeowners who plan to put their home on the market would be wise to flaunt these features if they’ve got them. But resale aside, these value-boosting features also increase a kitchen’s functionality, especially during the holidays.”

Simple DIY Projects That Will Increase the Value of Your Home

February 28, 2019 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

Looking to boost the value of your home without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars? You can! Making changes in certain rooms, like the kitchen and bathroom, is more beneficial than in others. These simple DIY projects will help increase your home’s value the most.

Modernize Fixtures

Replacing outlet covers can cost less than a dollar each, but if they have paint or other things on it, it’s a good change. While you’re at it, consider updating the outlets themselves. For about $25-$30 you can buy an outlet that also includes two USB charging ports. With all the smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices lying around, just a few of those, well-placed, can make a big difference. Think about the rooms in your home that don’t have enough outlets and the rooms that are most used for charging.

A less expensive upgrade? Doorknobs. Mismatched, broken, and dingy doorknobs can be a major deterrent. For a small amount of money per knob, you can update the look and make the whole house more visually appealing.

Lighten It Up

The more light you can add to your home, the better. Freshening up or removing curtains can brighten your home and make it more inviting.

Replacing windows is also a great way to add value to your home, particularly true if you live in an older home that has a lot of windows that stick or that let in the heat or cold. Installing energy efficient windows can also get you a nice tax break. However, poorly-installed windows can let in water, which can lead to mold and cracked foundations, so this isn’t for everyone.

Old light fixtures, or light fixtures that are dim or unappealing should be replaced to brighten the house.

Makeover the Bathroom

Bathrooms consistently get a high return on the investment. If you have a small budget and you’re DIYing, start small. A new vanity. New sink. A nice ceiling light. A spa-like shower head. A nice towel bar. None of these things have to cost over $100, but they all add value to your home by freshening it up, providing simple conveniences, and making it nicer. Who doesn’t want one of those fancy shower heads?

If your bathroom floor is falling apart, suffering from water damage or is just outdated, you can restore it yourself pretty inexpensively. Many home improvement stores offer a class so you can learn what you don’t know, which might enable you to choose a more expensive flooring. Stick with a neutral shade to add the most value.

Freshen Up the Kitchen

The kitchen is one of the biggest things that will turn potential buyers on or off to a house. It’s also one of the places where you can get the most money back for your investment. What’s the single best DIY change to make in the kitchen? A fresh coat of white paint on the cabinets. Go ahead and change out the knobs, too.

Storage is another change to consider. Add more shelves, possibly with space underneath to hang coffee mugs. Kitchen islands are in demand now and building one with storage will add value.

Keeping Up on Maintenance

A home in good repair is always going to be more valuable than one with a leaky roof. If the siding is old or falling apart, replace it. Consider getting a home warranty, to ensure the value of your appliances. Also make sure to maintain the appearance outside, sweep up the leaves, trim the bushes, and keep fences in good repair.

Adding value to your home doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult. Sometimes, the simplest DIY can be the best place to start. Start by considering your budget and your home’s most pressing needs, and update from there.

PSE natural gas bills will be lower this winter

December 1, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

Puget Sound Energy residential natural gas customers will see lower energy bills this winter after rates were adjusted lower to reflect the decreased cost of wholesale natural gas.

On Oct. 19, the Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission approved requests from PSE that, combined with lower natural gas costs, allowed the power company to reduce rates by 9.2 percent for residential customers. A press release from PSE said it would reduce the average bill by just over $6, bringing the total monthly bill to around $59. It is the lowest rates the utility has provided since 2004.

PSE conducts rate adjustments multiple times a year, Padula said.

Washington Utilities and Transportation Commission spokesperson Kate Griffith said rate adjustments must be approved by her office. Rate decreases were also approved for the Avista Corporation which serves the Spokane area, Cascade Natural Gas which serves cities statewide including Bellingham, Bremerton and Yakima. NW Natural also received a rate decrease. The company serves southwest Washington.

PSE provides natural gas service to more than 750,000 customers in King, Pierce, Snohomish, Kittitas, Lewis and Thurston counties.

Nearly 1 in 7 homes in Seattle now worth at least $1 million

November 19, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

SEATTLE — A growing number Seattleites can consider themselves as million-dollar homeowners as housing prices continue to climb in the region.

Seattle is now ranks 10th among U.S. metro areas for percentage of homes worth $1 million or more, according to a newly-released study by Trulia. In 2018, 13.3 percent of all homes in the city are worth at least seven figures, up from 11.8 percent last year. The median house price stands at just under $565,000, Trulia says.

We’re still a far cry from the Bay Area though, where 81 percent of homes in San Francisco and 70 percent of homes in San Jose are worth $1 million or more. Oakland checks in third at 30.7 percent, Truila says. Seattle’s 13.3 percent just a little behind Los Angeles at 13.9 percent.

And Seattle’s million dollar homes aren’t just clumped in one or two spots. Trulia found out of the city’s 95 neighborhoods, 10 of them are classified as “million dollar neighborhoods” where more than half the homes are worth $1 million or more.

But Seattle’s not the only city in the region with million dollar homes. Trulia finds that Bellevue has the highest percentage in the region of Million Dollar Neighborhoods. Of the 23 Bellevue neighborhoods identified by Trulia, nine are over the $1 million mark– three more than just two years ago. That’s 39 percent of all the city’s neighborhoods.

Other cities noted with at least one million-dollar neighborhood: Kirkland (5 out of 15), and Shoreline (2 out of 14). San Francisco, as mentioned, is pretty much million dollar city with 87 out of 102 neighborhoods having 50 percent or more million dollar homes.

Nationally, the share of homes worth $1 million or more has doubled since 2012 from 1.5 percent of all homes to 3.6 percent today.

American Homeownership Increases Again as Housing Market Looks for Balance

November 7, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

More Americans became homeowners in the summer months, fresh evidence of a housing market that’s finding some stability after several rocky years.

The national homeownership rate was 64.4% in the third quarter, the Census Bureau said Tuesday. That’s a half-percentage point higher than a year ago.

 A look at the rate of homeownership since 2004. Census Bureau/Haver Analytics

 

After touching an all-time high of 69.1% in 2004 as the housing bubble inflated, the homeownership rate bottomed out at 62.9% in 2016 as waves of Americans lost their homes or sold under duress. At the same time, many Americans who would ordinarily become buyers were locked out of the market by stringent lending rules, a lack of affordable inventory and a challenging economic backdrop.

All that has made the post-crisis housing market not just less accessible, but less dynamic. It’s possible the moderation in home prices over the course of 2018, which some analysts believe came from would-be buyers pushing back against hefty price gains, helped many of them finally become owners.

The homeownership rate can be controversial. Some analysts believe that government policies that helped enable ownership more broadly were responsible for the housing crisis, although many others believe there’s blame to go around.

Still, the meager recovery to this point puts the homeownership rate only back to 1995 levels, well before the run-up to the bubble. That suggests it may be possible for many more Americans to become owners, if housing market conditions ease further. The vacancy rate for owners was just 1.5% for the second month in a row, tighter than the 1.6% it averaged throughout 2017.

Conditions are perfect for the real estate market in Seattle to cool some

October 23, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

October will be the last month with good inventory — so now’s as good a time as any to buy

Summer is over, but the real estate market is just catching up.

The heyday for the market is typically between May and October, when the sunshine makes for nice pictures and easy open houses. Which means that the final month is here to take advantage of the housing market before the fall drop-off.

“Over the winter, new monthly resale listings will lower by approximately 50 percent compared to summer months,” J. Lennox Scott, chairman and CEO of John L. Scott Real Estate, said in the latest Northwest Multiple Listing

Services report, noting that it’s been quite a season for Seattle’s market.

“The housing market close to the job centers has gone from a historic extreme-frenzy market in the spring down a few levels of hotness to a strong level of pending sales activity for new listings.”

Which is true; the Seattle 2018 real estate “season” came in like a lion and seems to be going out like a lamb: Housing inventory continued to improve in September, while the pace of sales has slowed in many counties.

Some balance has been restored to the market — across the NWMLS system, last month ended with 2.56 months of supply of single-family homes and condos. And though that’s not perfect (analysts prefer somewhere between four and six months of supply for a truly balanced market between sellers and buyers) it’s the highest level since February 2015, when brokers reported 3.56 months of inventory.

“This is a more traditional yearly market cycle taking the place of the unusually overheated real estate market of the past several years,” said John Deely, principal managing broker at Coldwell Banker Bain, in the NWMLS report.

“Given there doesn’t appear to be any end in sight related to the region’s job growth, with employees moving here and not enough units being built to accommodate them, we believe this market normalization will continue.”

In a normal market, October marks a steep drop-off in inventory as winter doldrums settle in; at this same time last year, analysts were also wondering if Seattle was going through a cool-down.

Scott’s advice then was about the same as it is now: “October will be the best month for selection and availability until late February.”

Get in while the getting’s good, Seattle buyers.

Slowing real estate might let us catch our breath — or knock the wind out of us

October 18, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

Last year Seattle ranked first in a widely watched report on markets with an strong outlook for real estate. This year it’s not in the top 10. (Greg Gilbert / The Seattle Times)

An important real estate forecast knocks Seattle out of the top 10 booming markets. We still rank well, but some risks are also gathering.

If you read my colleague Mike Rosenberg, you already know that segments of the Seattle real-estate market are slowing.

We have an apartment glut thanks to heavy investment in multifamily housing coming out of the Great Recession. Sales and inventory numbers for homes in King County are back to 2012 levels. Prices are dropping many places after record leaps in recent years.

Last week came further evidence: For the first time in about a decade, Seattle wasn’t among the top 10 markets for the coming year in the “Emerging Trends in Real Estate” report by the Urban Land Institute and PricewaterhouseCoopers. Last year, we were No. 1.

The report focuses on the Seattle-Bellevue area, setting Tacoma (No. 53) out separately. And it doesn’t directly correlate with livability. Rather, it assesses investment and development trends, and for several years has chronicled the rise of high-quality urban centers.

Many people will see this as all good news, a pause from explosive growth that has also been blamed for lower affordability, rising inequality and social ills. I would add that markets go down as well as up, and every swing creates winners and losers.

Still, while Seattle’s growth isn’t stopping, going from the equivalent of 90 miles per hour to 50 would be felt, and in some unpleasant ways, too.

“Emerging Trends” is the gold standard in real-estate forecasts, based on interviews and surveys of hundreds of leading developers, investors and lenders.  It provides a deep analysis of the outlook for residential, retail, office, hotel and industrial properties, as well as the wider economic environment.

For next year, the top overall markets according to the ULI study are Dallas-Fort Worth, Brooklyn, Raleigh-Durham, Orlando, Nashville, Austin, Boston, Denver, Charlotte and Tampa-St. Petersburg.

At No. 16, Seattle still shows a decent outlook among the 79 markets surveyed. We rank No. 20 in homebuilding prospects. And second, behind Boston, in local market attractiveness for investors. Office demand is expected to continue doing well in the central business district. Being No. 1 isn’t everything. I’d take Seattle over almost any city among the top 10. But Seattle dropping off might mark an inflection point — emphasis on “might.”

The report also offers this caution about Seattle’s drop: “Seattle is still viewed as an attractive place in which to invest, but did media coverage of potential new supply being delivered and increased regulatory discussions sway the opinion of survey respondents?”

(I’d say the news coverage reflected real events and trends.)

Seattle’s population is expected to keep growing, next year at twice the national rate.  Hard as it is to process, Seattle also gets relatively good marks for housing affordability within the context of the Pacific Coast (Tacoma does even better). Demand remains strong for distribution space, too.  The report points to a local economy operating near capacity (e.g. employment) as a constraint on real-estate investment next year.

“This is evidenced by the comments from focus group participants in Seattle and Portland that attracting qualified labor is getting more difficult and could be hurting employment growth,” it reads. The unemployment rate for Seattle-Tacoma-Bellevue was 3.6 percent in August.  Assuming the larger economic climate is stable, we can expect Seattle to go from “hot” to “warm.”  Even so, a pullback in construction would be felt, and not just by speculators.

Being the crane capital of America was part of the enormous construction boom during this expansion. It put hundreds of millions of dollars into the city treasury. This has helped finance low-income housing and social services.

On the other hand, the economy is never static. Risks abound nationally and internationally, from trade battles and asset bubbles to new vulnerability in the banking sector. Geopolitical instability is rising. So are interest rates.

The past week’s wobbly stock market was centered in nervousness about potential inflation — enough at least to cut into profit margins. Popular tech stocks, including Amazon, were among the shares roughed up.  Nobody has repealed the business cycle, so this second-longest expansion in modern American history shouldn’t be taken for granted.  A veteran asset manager quoted in “Emerging Trends” says, “2019 will be a turning-point year.  I think about the capital markets correction that is coming. We have been used to easy money and very low rates for so long. Now is the time to harvest, to hedge, to be cautious.”

Seattle specifically has yet to see how a “separate, equal” HQ2 — yet to be announced — will affect it. Those effects could pinball to small-businesses, city tax revenues, vendors and even charitable giving, as well as hiring at the city’s largest employer.  The metro area would also be hurt by a stock market correction — not only in terms of lost wealth, but potential job cutbacks by companies in response.  But the stomach-knot scenarios might not happen. What we know is that real estate is slowing.  This boom has remade Seattle more dramatically than almost any since the Great Fire. It’s been a lightning rod for criticism, and not just from the social-justice warriors.

Too many classic Seattle three-story brick apartment buildings have been lost, diminishing lower-rent units for renters. Too many useful commercial buildings have been demolished for towers, annihilating affordable retail space and the human-scale delights of the city. Add in straight-up skyscrapers with no setbacks and little distance between them, plus loss of views toward the Space Needle.

I’ve watched these changes over a decade and wondered: Why does this happen in a supposedly progressive city?

Some will pour out corruption conspiracy theories. My guess about what happened is a combination of inattention to protection and design standards; addiction to construction fees; loss of imagination among architects, and political division — all happening as this firehose of demand came at us with great suddenness.  On the other hand, the real-estate boom has been pretty good to Seattle, and not only in terms of tax revenues.

On the commercial side, it’s been driven by demand from some of the top companies offering some of the best jobs. We’re not cursed by the desert of huge surface parking lots or store fronts emptied out by changing consumer patterns and online competition. Speculation is an element in rising housing prices, but demand was the big driver. Real estate and construction are significant employers.

In the America as it is, rather than what I might wish it to be, this is a gift horse that shouldn’t require obsessing over its dental work.  In the many left-behind localities — places without the bother of an Amazon headquarters — inequality and opportunity are worse than here and future prospects are dim. These include some of the once-greatest American cities.

Seattle has been lucky, and made its luck. Now we’ll see whether what’s happening in real estate is a natural downshifting or something more.

How much do you really know about the value of your home?

September 27, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

If you stalk the real estate listings in your neighborhood and make the open house rounds on the weekends you may feel pretty good about your real estate knowledge. I know I like to play the game of guessing my home’s value every time a house near us sells. But real estate can be a high stakes game, even if it sometimes seems like play money being thrown around on real estate TV shows. A misstep can cost thousands, even tens of thousands of dollars, but how do you even know what you don’t know?

To get some insight into mistakes many of us may be making when it comes to our houses, I talked with Seattle-based real estate expert Aaron Hendon. And did he set me straight.

Here are the six top things we’re getting wrong about real estate.

1. YOU TRUST AN ALGORITHM KNOWS YOUR HOME’S VALUE

The worst thing Hendon sees, he told NBC News BETTER, is homeowners who assume they know something about the value of a house. Maybe they saw something about real estate prices on the news, or talked to their uncle, or saw it on Zillow, he said. The absolute worst, he added, is to think that the Zestimate is the true value of your home.

The “Zestimate” is an estimated value listed on popular real estate site Zillow. And it’s notoriously off, Hendon said. So badly so, in fact, that when Zillow CEO Spencer Rascoff sold his condo, the the Zestimate was 40 percent off.

“The problem is you can’t do it by an algorithm because there are too many variables and they change too rapidly to get a good read,” Hendon explained. “The assumption is there’s a real inherent value to our house but there is not. There’s what a buyer is willing to pay for it on the day they buy it and what the seller is willing to take for it. You’re selling a commodity, one of multiple houses, and you have no idea who’s shopping that particular week. How could you value your house by a computer estimate? At best it’s a guess.”

But “it’s a shiny website and looks like it has authority,” he said. “It’s a real problem that people tend to weight those things heavily.”

There is some value to be found in the Zestimate, however, Hendon said. “Say I want to track my house value over time. I check the Zestimate every six months, and it’s going up. It doesn’t tell me what it’s worth but tells me it’s worth more than it was.”

2. YOU THINK YOUR NEIGHBOR’S HOUSE WILL TELL YOU YOUR HOME’S VALUE

So the house up the street just sold. You quickly do the math and figure out the price per square foot, then apply that to yours: voila, there’s your value.

Not so fast.

“The problem with that logic is you don’t really know the details of the house that sold,” Hendon said, “the particular way it was marketed, maybe the realtor did crappy pictures or maybe the owner took out loan after loan so they’re under water. They don’t know the conditions upon which, or to whom it was sold, or the terms.” It could have sold for cash, the owner could have been leaving the country or going through a divorce, and that’s not even to mention the huge variance possible in the condition of the house.

What’s more, “all square footage is not equal,” he said. If it were, “that would mean 4000 square feet should be worth twice as much as 2000. You need a first thousand to even have a house, the next thousands are options. What are those rooms? Bedrooms are worth way less than bathrooms.” People tend to gloss over a myriad of variables that are hidden, he said.

3. YOU BELIEVE THE APPRAISER SETS THE VALUE

“The tendency is to live like the appraiser is coming up with the true value,” Hendon said. But, he reiterated, “there is no value, it doesn’t exist, it’s worth what someone will pay for it and you’ll accept.”

At the end of the day “it’s a subjective valuation of your property,” he said. The appraiser doesn’t have to agree that you paid the right amount. “Their job in that case is to say to the bank, ‘if this guy defaults you’ll be able to get your money back.’”

While a common worry during homebuying and selling is that the house won’t appraise for the sale price, “rarely does it not come in at value,” he said. “By definition if you’re willing to pay it, it’s worth it. Why would you pay for it if it wasn’t?”

This, at least, is one thing not to worry so much about.

4. YOU THINK RENOVATING BEFORE SELLING WILL BOOST THE VALUE

Tempted to upgrade the kitchen or get new carpet right before you sell? That’s a mistake, Hendon said. “Don’t redo your house right before you sell. I can’t tell you the number of people I have to talk out of remodeling right before sale. I’m a little blunt, I go ‘that’s crazy thinking.’”

He asks sellers to look at the math. “You’re going to spend how much to redo kitchen? Say 15? Do you think we’ll get 20 more? The kitchen will be torn up for six months, that’s got to be worth something, and then we don’t know what the market will be in six months — and everyone may not love your choices.”

When’s the right time to remodel? Five years ago, Hendon said.

“If you did it five years ago and you loved it and used it you don’t care if you get the money back.”

If you’re a professional flipper, go for it, he said. Otherwise, “clean it, get it neutral. You’ll get less, but the net will be the same.” And you save yourself the hassle.

5. YOU UNDERESTIMATE THE ROLE OF THE REALTOR

Homes are the most expensive, most emotionally impactful, rarest sale and purchase in our lives, Hendon said. “What makes me craziest — when people go hire a realtor, they do it with due diligence of where to eat dinner. They hire their friend, they go to Yelp or Zillow and see stars, they use a discount broker or see a guy’s signs all over the neighborhood.”

“None of it has anything to do with performance,” he said. “Sure go try the Chinese restaurant your friend recommends, but using your uncle’s realtor without asking them to show you how much they sell houses for compared to asking price, you’re crazy.”

“No one has ever asked me to see my last 12 months statistics,” he said. “That is crazy to me.

It takes nothing to ask that.” And no realtor should be offended by the question, he said. “You’re going to give someone $8,000 [commission] they should be ready to compete, they should be ready to fight for your business.”

6. YOU CAN SAVE THE SIX PERCENT BY SELLING THE HOUSE YOURSELF

While in a very hot market there could be value in a FSBO, or for sale by owner, the math on this rarely pans out, Hendon said.

First, it’s not six percent, because almost every buyer will have realtor, he said, “so they still have to spend that three percent [for the buyer’s agent].” So you’re down to three percent. Which is still a lot of money.

Is it worth it? “If you don’t have a job [so you have the time], and you’re ok with letting strangers in your house and leaving while they’re there, and doing all the work, and will somehow find a way to price it correctly, and don’t mind the risk involved in the liability of getting it to close, and you who do not negotiate for a living, who do not sell a hundred houses a year are going to trust that the buyer’s agent is somehow not going to screw you over …” Hendon said. We’ll take that as a you do the math.

When my husband and I sold our last house and bought our current one, some of the biggest value to us was our realtor’s role as counselor in guiding us through the process and keeping our best interests first in negotiations with our buyer and seller and their respective agents. It felt like a house of cards most days that would fall apart at any moment, but he made it happen and that was more than worth the commission.

We also listed and sold our house for more than we’d have ever tried ourselves. Hendon wasn’t surprised to hear this.

The trouble with selling your own home, he said, is “most people make it look like a yard sale. The same sign from Home Depot that says ‘yard sale’ but it says ‘home for sale.’ No one goes to a yard sale and pays full price, it’s a yard sale for God’s sake.”

What to Expect When Getting Pre-Approved

September 20, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

Getting “pre-qualified” today when preparing to buy a home is so 80’s. Getting pre-qualified then meant talking to a loan officer over the phone or in an office and having a conversation about various aspects of your financial life. The loan officer asks about your job, how long you’ve worked there and how much money you make. The loan officer asks about your general credit history, whether it’s excellent, good or maybe needs a little work.

What about other debt? What sort of monthly payments are you obligated to pay each month? The loan officer would then take that information, plug in current market rates (back in 1981 the average 30 year rate hovered around 17%. No, really) and give you an amount you can qualify for. Maybe even the loan officer typed up a prequalification letter you could carry around.

Not anymore. If all you have is a prequalification letter it’s possible your real estate agent will ask that you go back to your loan officer and get pre-approved. The terms do sound somewhat alike but sellers, lenders and real estate agents alike know the difference.

A preapproval ups the qualification game by verifying the conversation you had with your loan officer. Instead of a conversation over the phone, you’ll be asked to submit a completed loan application. The key word here is “complete.” Well, almost. You don’t have a property picked out yet so you’ll leave that part blank. What you can expect to provide is proof of your income instead of a conversation. This means the most recent copies of your pay check stubs. To make sure you’ve been working for at least two years, your W2 statements for the last two years will also be reviewed.

If you’re self-employed, you may not have pay check stubs. Regardless, you’ll need to provide your last two years of income tax returns, both personal and business.

In addition, a year-to-date profit and loss statement should also be prepared. This P&L doesn’t necessarily have to be completed by an accountant or otherwise certified, you can put one together on your own if you want.

Regarding your credit history, you’ll also be asked to sign a Borrower’s Authorization form which allows the lender to pull your credit report and credit scores. You’ll need funds for a down payment and closing costs so copies of recent bank statements must be at the ready.

In short, you need to get your preapproval application to the point where all you need is a property to buy along with a signed sales contract. Now, not only can you shop in confidence, but the sellers and the seller’s real estate agent can put you at the top of the list when considering your offer.

Today, absolutely everyone should be shopping for a home with a solid preapproval letter in hand. There’s no question about it.

Late Boomers: How Seniors are Affecting the Housing Market

September 17, 2018 by Kathy Reichle Leave a Comment

The baby boomers are entering their golden years and are poised to become the largest generation of retirees in the country’s history. Through their sheer numbers, boomers have impacted the nation’s economic trends. Now, as more of them enter their retirement years, this generation’s housing preferences will help determine the housing options available to younger people entering the market.

Not only are baby boomers the largest generation, but they also have different lifestyle preferences than previous generations. Baby boomers are working longer and delaying the home downsizing many have been expecting. While some observers think baby boomers are contributing to the inventory crunch by staying in place, others believe boomers are holding on to their homes to time the market and that a massive sell-off is on the horizon.

To better understand this demographic group, Trulia took a close look at the housing situation of seniors 65 and over now and a decade ago, as well as how senior households stack up in different metros. Of course, not all boomers are seniors yet—we define baby boomers as individuals born between 1945 and 1964, making them between 54 and 73 this year. However, we focus on changes in senior housing preferences over the last decade to offer insight into how boomers, who are starting to become seniors en masse, differ in their housing choices compared to previous generations.

We found that:

  • Senior households are delaying downsizing. They’re working longer and their kids are living with them more often compared with seniors a decade ago.
  • Senior households with no younger generations living with them—which include empty nesters— on average have two more bedrooms than people in their homes. Households under 65 on average only have one extra bedroom.
  • Places where housing inventory is most needed—the most unaffordable metros in the nation—aren’t the places where seniors are holding onto inventory. Like the rest of the population, seniors rent in these places at much higher rates and also have younger generations living with them more often. Unless they kick out the kids, they won’t be able to downsize.
  • Metros that have the most senior households that could potentially downsize—that is, those households that own their single family home and have no younger generations living with them—are among the most affordable in the nation. That may be evidence that boomers holding onto their homes is not driving up prices.

Delayed Gratification

Aging boomers are staying in place longer. As households move into their retirement years, some of them are downsizing—moving from owning to renting and from single family to multifamily homes. But, on average, boomers are staying in place longer than previous generations. Some observers worry they are taking up valuable home inventory in high-demand markets that would otherwise be snapped up by younger homebuyers. Of senior households, 83.4% live by themselves, with no younger generations. On average, this group has two more bedrooms than people living in the house—perhaps representing empty nesters whose kids have since moved out. That compares with just one extra bedroom for households under 65.

Characteristics of Senior Households
% of Senior Households 2005 2016
In Labor Force 15.9% 19.3%
Living Alone 85.2% 83.4%
Living with Younger Generation(s) 14.4% 16.1%

 

Baby boomers are staying in place longer because the life events that might cause them to downsize are being delayed. Seniors in recent years have adopted significantly different lifestyles than seniors even a decade ago. For one, they’re working longer. The proportion of household heads 65 and over who are still in the labor force rose to 19.3% in 2016 from 15.9% in 2005. What’s more, the kids are moving out later. Senior households living alone represented 83.4% in 2016, ticking down from 85.2% in 2005. In 2016, 16.1% of senior households had younger generations living with them, up from 14.4% in 2005. These factors mean senior households aren’t considering downsized housing options until later in life. In 2005, more senior households were moving into multifamily than single family housing by age 75. In 2016, this inflection point had shifted to age 80.

Senior Living by Metro

The areas where home supply is limited and affordability is low might appreciate an infusion of inventory from downsizing seniors. However, when looking at the nation’s top 100 metros, we don’t see evidence that boomers holding on to inventory is eroding affordability. Like the general population, seniors in expensive and unaffordable metros rent at much higher rates. Unaffordability also translates to higher levels of multigenerational living. The correlation between unaffordability and the percentage of senior households that could potentially downsize—those that live by themselves and own a single family home—is stark. The higher the income required to purchase the median home, the lower the proportion of senior households that could downsize (with a correlation coefficient of -0.73).

The metros with the highest portion of senior households in a position to downsize are in more affordable metros, including Knoxville, Tenn., Colorado Springs, Colo., and Dayton, Ohio. However, even in these metros, inventory has fallen steadily for the past several years. In Knoxville, inventory decreased 12.4% year over year during the second quarter of 2018, rounding out 12 straight quarters of falling inventory. With this prolonged inventory drought across the nation, these metros may very well welcome an increase in boomers listing their homes.

Power in Numbers

Although seniors appear to be delaying downsizing until later in life, as a group, households 65 and over are still downsizing at roughly the same rate as in years past—which is to say not that often. In 2016, 5.5% of households 65 and over moved, pretty evenly split between moves to single family (2.7%) and multifamily (2.4%) homes. In 2005, these percentages were virtually the same, with 5.5% of senior households moving, including 2.5% into single family and 2.5% into multifamily homes.

Still, because the boomer generation is so much larger than previous generations, that 5.5% moving rate translates into very different raw numbers across the years. There were about 7 million more senior households in 2016 than 2005, meaning 386,000 more senior households moved in 2016.

Of course, the ability of senior households to downsize depends on the availability of homes to downsize into. The acute shortage in starter home inventory can make it difficult for retirees to move to smaller homes. Not only are seniors not responsible for making inventory-scarce metros unaffordable, they’re feeling the inventory pinch themselves. Gen X-ers and millennials, especially in expensive coastal metros, are going to need more than downsizing boomers to alleviate the inventory crunch they are facing.

Methodology

We used 2005 and 2016 5-Year American Community Survey data for labor rates, household generation composition, moving rates, unit structure type, number of bedrooms, and tenure. Our analysis only looks at households that are not in “group quarters”, which would include retirement homes and nursing facilities. This means that our downsizing estimates are likely understated. Affordability is based on our inventory metrics from the second quarter of 2018, defined as the share of the median income needed to purchase the median priced home.
