Stay or Go – Follow Your Head and Your Heart When Deciding to Move or Remodel - 01/30/09 06:53 AM
In this economy, when does it make more sense to move to a new home vs. remodeling the old one to meet new needs?
Few people buy their first home with the idea of staying there forever. Traditionally, the purchase of a "starter home" corresponded to when people started their families or their careers; as both grew, they moved up to bigger, "better" houses. In the current market, there are plenty of great homes to accommodate new needs and new preferences, but selling the old home often comes at a loss or at a less-than-expected profit that can be put into … (2 comments)

Buying Cycles Make Housing Market More Crucial for Some - 01/28/09 10:26 AM
As anyone who has heard the news in the last year knows, the housing market has taken a hit over the last two years in the Lehigh Valley and everywhere else. Home values have declined often by double digits since 2007; though prices are either dropping more slowly or remain stagnant in many areas, analysts predict that prices won't bottom out for two-three years and won't go back up until the next decade.
While it's generally true that homeownership is no longer the principle way to build wealth in America, not all homeowners will fare the same in the current housing … (0 comments)

Foreclosure Relief: What Are Those Carrots and Sticks? - 01/23/09 07:12 AM
Whether you come to love or hate the new administration for the economic proposals it champions, the hope is that all sides in the complex foreclosure crisis will get a fair hearing.  The signs are that atmosphere in Washington will be a lot more open to discuss some fresh alternatives to approach the problem.  Here are some of the current plans under review - and this is even before the new administration has put in their two cents.

Foreclosure Relief: New Carrots and Sticks Needed - 01/21/09 12:50 PM
The housing crisis is at the heart of the current recession.  Both the government and private lenders have tinkered with solutions but to little avail. Now Congress, working in conjunction with the new President is committed to finding a more aggressive solution to a problem rooted in the very system of how homes were financed.
Since the housing bubble burst, over 3 million homes have been lost to foreclosure while another 8 to 10 million more are headed that way over the next four years, according to Credit Suisse.  (And that's after we've been working on the problem for a couple … (0 comments)

Tough Credit Facts for Tough Times – Part 2 - 01/15/09 06:05 PM
In Part 1 of this series on credit facts, we considered how consumers whose home equity lines of credit were cut could successfully fight back, especially if the facts were on their side.  How can a credit card holder deal with cut backs and other changes in terms?  This is a serious question.  Credit limits affect consumer behavior and have long-term consequences on credit scores and future consumer behavior.  A lackluster credit score has a huge impact on the ability to make major purchases like a home or car at favorable interest rates. 
A revamped credit scoring system, FICO 08, will be … (0 comments)

Tough Credit Facts for Tough Times – Part 1 - 01/14/09 03:56 PM
In current recessionary times, keeping your credit in good condition is more important than ever.  Having good credit gives you options if you need to borrow money to buy a new home, build an addition in lieu of moving, or refinance an old mortgage loan with a higher interest rate, and makes life easier in many other financial dealings.  If you lose your job and fall behind on your bills, creditors might be more willing to help you if your past payment record was good.
Credit-issuing banks are in a protective mode that is not always pro-customer.  Even when people are … (1 comments)

All the World’s a Stage When Your Home’s for Sale - 01/11/09 05:50 PM
The old Shakespeare-based adage "all the world's a stage" is no where so true as in the world of modern real estate.  Staging, the art of preparing a home for sale by decluttering, depersonalizing, cleaning, repainting, rearranging, landscaping, and cosmetically improving a home to make it more saleable, has become the norm.  The theory is that when a home is properly staged, it will appeal to the largest number of buyers and sell more quickly and sell for more.  While "staging" has always been a normal part of getting a home ready to sell, since the 1990's, staging has become an … (0 comments)

Why Some Homes Just Don’t Sell - 01/10/09 07:18 AM
Though some sellers feel no urgency to move their property, especially if it's an investment property that is bringing in some return, most sellers feel pressure to sell their home so they can move to a new one or free up funds.  It's frustrating when the home doesn't sell.  In these times of "housing crisis," the pat answers for "why not" are that "sales are slow everywhere" "rising unemployment," "falling yet still inflated prices," and "tighter credit requirements" yet people are still buying homes.  So what are the top reasons particular homes don't sell?
The best way a seller can get … (7 comments)

Adding a Deck: One Improvement that Will Add Resale Value - 01/09/09 07:09 AM
At a time when home resale values are slipping, homeowners are wary of making improvements that may be lost at time of sale. One improvement that offers a sure rate of return and offers value to both current and future homeowner is a deck.  A deck expands outdoor living space at a third or half the cost of adding indoor space, and tends to increase home resale values; estimates by Remodeling Magazine found that sellers recoup 85% of deck costs vs. 78% of costs for remodeling a bathroom or 69% of a family room addition.
Decks cost less to build than … (5 comments)
