Five Maintenance Issues Owners Shouldn't Ignore Consumer Reports magazine advises home owners not to put off important maintenance projects, noting that waiting until the economy rebounds could end up making the repairs more costly while putting a family's health at risk. The magazine identifies five crucial maintenance issues:
Check the gutters: Clogged gutters, broken fasteners and separations where the gutters meet the fascia board will lead to roof leaks if they haven’t already.
Inspect the roof: Cracked, curled and mussing shingles mean a roof is nearing the end of its useful life. Cracks around chimneys, skylights, and roof valleys can also suggest the roof might be leaking.
Look for bugs: Termites and carpenter ants can bore through a home in a few short years. Probe the sill plate on top of the foundation with a screwdriver to check for rotten wood. Also look for carpenter ants and termites along windowsills and walls.
Avoid mold: Mold and mildew can cause musty odors, dank air, and make residents sick. Check under carpets and around windows for visible mold or mildew.
Don’t ignore cracks: Foundation cracks wider than 3/16 of an inch can be a problem. These require examination by a structural engineer. Source: Consumer Reports (05/04/2009)

Housing Analysts Predict the Bottom Is Near The bottom of the housing decline is near, predicted analysts and home builders attending the National Association of Home Builders’ semiannual Construction Forecast Conference last week.Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Economy.com, facetiously picked a date when home prices would stop falling: Dec. 15, 2009. Other observers weren’t so precise, but they did generally agree that the federal government’s efforts to shore up the market would take effect by the end of 2009 or early in 2010.Analysts also predicted that consumers will spend less on remodeling. Eric Belsky, executive director at Harvard University’s Joint Center for Housing Studies, predicted that spending on remodeling would fall 12.3 percent by the end of this year compared to last.Analysts project that the credit crisis will loosen, although people with blemished credit records may continue to have trouble getting mortgage loans.Source: The Wall Street Journal, June Fletcher (04/24/2009)

Hoover Mayor Tony Petelos is considering a run for governor in 2010.View Larger
Hoover Mayor Tony Petelos said Wednesday he is "strongly" considering a run for Alabama governor in 2010.
Petelos said he’s been talking with people around the state about running as a Republican nominee, but has yet to form a campaign committee or take official action.A decision could be made by June 1, he said, when candidates are allowed to begin raising campaign funds.
Petelos currently is in his second term as mayor of Hoover. A former legislator in the state’s House of Representatives, the Ensley native previously served as Alabama’s commissioner of the Department of Human Resources, a spot appointed by Gov. Fob James. He now sits on its board, an appointment made by Gov. Bob Riley, who cannot run again because of term limits.

Daily Real Estate News April 14, 2009How to avoid the Vacant Home Look Selling a home that is vacant can be harder than selling a lived-in home, experts say. Here are some ideas from Pam and Dave Pettigrew, certified residential specialists with Prudential Rocky Mountain in Fort Collins, Colo., on what practitioners and sellers should consider to protect an empty property and get it sold.
Give the house a lived-in look. Get a neighbor or family member to make the house look occupied by parking a car in the driveway, opening and closing the drapes and taking in any mail.
Groom the yard. Use a lawn service during the summer to keep the grass cut and a snow removal service in the winter to scrape the walks and driveway.
No outstanding nicks. Hide the effects of missing furniture. Paint and replace rugs so there are no faded spots or blemishes on the walls. Cover accent paint that alone looks odd.
Leave some furniture. A few chairs, tables, lamps and beds (or empty mattress boxes with spreads) give buyers a sense of space.
Keep the utilities on. Set the thermostat at a comfortable level during the winter and summer.
Hire a maid. Make sure the home remains spotless.
Check the homeowner’s policy. Understand the coverage when the home is vacant.

Alabama’s energy cost ranks in the middle of the country, according to a new study released by .The council’s report ranks Alabama 23rd among the 50 states, tied with Ohio.The index ranks states according to two major energy costs affecting small businesses, individuals and families: The price of regular gasoline at the pump and the cost of electricity.
Raymond Keating, the council’s chief economist and author of the report, said making energy more affordable and abundant should be a key objective for policy makers to help small businesses survive the current economic turmoil.
“In tough economic conditions such as these, elected officials at all levels of government need to be aware of how their policies impact energy costs, and in turn small businesses,” Keating said in a news release.
According to the index, the lowest cost states are: 1) Wyoming; 2) Idaho; 3) Utah; 4) Kentucky; and 5) West Virginia.
The highest cost states are: 46) Massachusetts; 47) Rhode Island; 48) Alaska; 49) Connecticut — tied with New York — and 50) Hawaii.

Market Conditions
by Realty Times Staff
According to the National Association of Home Builders, buyers could be gearing up for a return to the market.
In a survey for Century 21 Real Estate last month among prospective first-time home buyers who indicated they were likely to purchase a home in the next two years, a majority – 78 percent – said that now is a good time to buy a home. Of those responding to the online poll, 68 percent said that now is a better time to buy than six months ago.
And its not just good news there. The new home market is seeing promising numbers as well. Single-family permits were up 11 percent in February.
"With affordability up dramatically, reports from our builders in the field indicate that foot traffic in new homes is on the rise and consumer interest is increasing with each passing day. These are encouraging signs that the housing market may be finally reaching a bottom," said NAHB Chairman Joe Robson.

Tax Credit

http://www.realtor.org/wps/wcm/connect/RO-Content/ro/government_affairs/gapublic/american_recovery_reinvestment_act_home
The bill provides for a $8,000 tax credit that would be available to first-time home buyers for the purchase of a principal residence on or after January 1, 2009 and before December 1, 2009. The credit does not require repayment. Most of the mechanics of the credit will be the same as under the 2008 rules: the credit will be claimed on a tax return to reduce the purchaser's income tax liability. If any credit amount remains unused, then the unused amount will be refunded as a check to the purchaser.

Light at the End of the Tunnel? U.S. Home Prices Rise for First time in 12 Months
RISMEDIA, March 25, 2009-U.S. home prices rose for the first time in 12 months, showing an increase of 1.7% on a seasonally-adjusted basis from December to January, according to the Federal Housing Finance Agency’s (FHFA) monthly House Price Index. December’s previously reported 0.1% increase was revised to a 0.2% decline, and for the 12 months ending in January, U.S. prices fell 6.3%, and the U.S. index is 9.6% below its April 2007 peak.
The FHFA monthly index is calculated using purchase prices of houses backing mortgages that have been sold to or guaranteed by Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac.
For the nine Census Divisions, seasonally-adjusted monthly price changes from December to January ranged from -0.9% in the Pacific Division to +3.9% in the East North Central Division.
Month-to-month changes in the geographic mix of sales activity explain most of the unexpected rise in prices in January. The January home sales reflected in the FHFA data disproportionately occurred in areas with the strongest markets.
While it is difficult to perfectly control for changing geographic mix in estimating house price indexes, the data suggest that if one were to remove those effects, the change in home prices in January, while still positive, would have been far less dramatic.
It also should be noted that sales volumes, in absolute terms, were relatively low in the month. Accordingly, the estimation imprecision associated with the January estimate is relatively large and subsequent revisions to the monthly figure could be significant.

RISMEDIA, February 20, 2009-”Those who do not study history are condemned to repeat it.” So spoke Sir John Buchan, the First Baron of Tweedsmuir, back in the mists of time often referred to as “the good old days.”
Well, I may not be as old as the Baron, but I did live through President James Earl Carter, 21% prime interest rates, 20% inflation, Paul Volker and his attempt to strangle inflation by strangling the money supply, and that famous “WIN (Whip Inflation NOW!)” button the White House handed out. The period I am referring to was in the 1970s and early 1980s, and it effectively reduced the purchasing power and the true value of the dollar forever.
It wasn’t that long ago that we lived in a different economy altogetherAmericans often affectionately remember the 50s, when Ike was president, America was the benefactor of the world, and life was so simple. Then, a man making $10,000 annually was quite successful. Then, a home might cost $13,000. A nice Ford or Chevy might cost $2,300; New and gleaming and using 22 cent-a-gallon gasoline.
But it was only in 1971 that I bought my first home for $33,690 in Chelmsford, MA; the same year I purchased a new 454 Corvette Roadster for $5,100 out the door. Then, $50,000 a year was the equal of my dad’s $10,000 in earning power.
I remember how excited I was when I finally had $100,000 in savings-I was wealthy, I thought, and my future seemed assured. When the pardon of Richard Nixon jolted America into changing administrations, the Peanut Farmer, James Earl Carter of Plains, Georgia, was elected to the Presidency of the United States. The wreckage his administration presided over made it possible for “The Great Communicator” to be elected in 1981; and by the time that happened, houses were $300,000 and cars cost about $30,000.
Personally, I wasn’t noticing the effects of inflation, yet-after all, we sold that original home and moved into a beautiful new home that cost $86,000 just as President Carter took office. Although I sold that home for north of $200,000 a mere five years later, it never occurred to me that our currency was being debased; no, I thought I was a brilliant investor!
Whatever happens, the stage is set for inflation to come back with a vengeance.Discounts abound, but prices of durable goods are increasing.
In the 1970s those gurus of the Federal Reserve told us that “M1 (an arcane measurement referring to the ‘money supply’-the total number of dollars in circulation), was the most key statistic to watch, for if the money supply grew too quickly, inflation would persist and continue.” We then became a nation of M1 watchers, and the Fed attempted to control the most complex economy in the world by watching that one statistic and throttling the economy with interest rate surges that brought about disintermediation, the death of the savings bank industry and that set the stage for the rise of Merrill Lynch and Wall Street to replace banks and savings and loans as purveyors of the American mortgage.
Interest rates were so high banks couldn’t keep deposits because they were subject to interest rate restrictions. “Let them compete-take the shackles off the banking industry” Washington thundered, and so the Garn-St. Germaine banking act was passed, allowing the community bank ‘to compete’ with Merrill Lynch.Predictably, Merrill Lynch won. King Pyrrhus couldn’t have put it better: “One more such ‘victory’ and I am undone.” We are all paying for that ‘victory’ today.
The savings and loan industry abandoned 50 years of thrift and sound banking practices and put insured deposits into junk bonds sold by that ever-smiling Michael Milliken and his henchmen instead of local mortgages. When the dust cleared, there was no mortgage expertise left, no savings and loan industry recognizable to anyone left, and Wall Street had achieved their goal of displacing the community bank and becoming the “one stop shop” for all things financial (See; Sanford Weil, Citigroup, et al).
In any case there can be no debate that the trillions of dollars about to be pumped into the economy-while they will save us-will also bring inflation back; unless-of course-all that stuff about M1 and the money supply, and all those pronouncements by Paul Volcker, then-Chairman of the Fed, were mistaken . Since Mr. Volcker has now returned in a quasi-official capacity to advise the President’s team, I’d guess we’re in for inflation, now, and part of his mission is to try to minimize it.
Good luck Tim Geithner.
Our new secretary of treasury is reportedly a brilliant man– perhaps a little forgetful about taxes, but nonetheless, brilliant, by all accounts. Together with the rest of the Obama team, he will need every bit of that intelligence and brilliance to help this great country of ours avert total meltdown, but I believe that the team will indeed accomplish that and we will make a recovery, led in part by housing. It’s never smart to bet against the United States of America.
But when the money supply is increased by an amount equivalent to 20 or 30% of Gross Domestic Product or more-naturally or unnaturally, inflation must result. That means that prices of all fixed assets rise to keep pace with the devaluation of the currency. We won’t be taking the wheelbarrow to the market full of dollar bills to buy a loaf of bread, as happened in Germany after WWI, but we will be going on a pretty thrilling ride for a while.
Now, what is going to happen to home prices over the next few years?
I am not as formally schooled in such matters as our current leaders are. I’m just a guy who has seen this movie, too. It is my belief that a side effect to saving America’s economy will be a robust increase in inflation. I believe that Inflation will regain all the “value” we lost in housing over the past two years, and that it will regain it in five years or less. Simply put, to put the brakes on inflation, government must inhibit the recovery. The people in power aren’t going to do that. Inflation is a necessary evil compared to a full scale depression and an acceptable trade off for most of us. (And oil won’t stay at about $40 a barrel too long, either!)
So, tell your clients the truth: Interest rates will never be this low again in their lifetimes. Home prices won’t be this low again in their lifetimes. This is the perfect storm economically, but it also the perfect time to buy a home; provided that you buy it as a home and not a piggy bank. It’s just a nice side benefit that five years from now, the home you bought today will have appreciated so much that you’ll be thinking (just like I did in 1979): “What a smart investor I am!”
This just happens to be the perfect confluence of opportunity and necessity: we must fix the economy and we’re going to, whatever it takes. Inflation is an unavoidable side effect. Buy that house this year!
