Americans Happy withHomeownership
Courtesy, National Association of Home Builders
The value of homeownership hasbeen questioned by the media asAmericans struggle in the current
recession. But the truth is that mostfamilies are happy about their choiceto buy a home.
Bankrate, Inc., a financial publishingcompany, recently surveyed morethan 1,000 randomly-selected adultsabout their home purchase and 90percent responded that they dontregret buying their home.
Even during tough economic timessuch as these, many home ownersrealize that the benefits ofhomeownership are overwhelming especially in a time where housingaffordability is at its all-time high.According to the National Associationof Home Builders/Wells FargoHousing Opportunity Index (HOI),
72.3 percent of all new and existinghomes sold in the second quarter of2010 were affordable to familiesearning the national median incomeof $64,400. At the end of 2007, only46.6 percent of homes wereaffordable to families earning themedian income.
What are some of the other
benefits?
An immediate benefit is thatinterest rates are at record lows andthere is a wide selection of homes onthe market to choose from. Its abuyers market. Purchasing a homenow will allow you to negotiate for
more items on your wish list thanwhen the housing market recoversand you may have to compete with
others for your dream home.
A little further down the road,when filing your federal tax returns,you will be able to claim twodeductionsthe mortgage interestdeduction and the property taxdeduction.
Much of your monthly payment,especially in the first few years afterbuying a home, goes towards theinterest on the loan and not theprincipal. The federal governmentallows you to deduct those interestpayments from your taxes in mostcases. State and local property taxespaid on the assessed value of thehome are also deductible on yourfederal return.
For many home owners thesecombined tax deductions can result ina tax savings between $5,700 and$11,400, depending on filing status.
Also, homeownership is the biggestsource of net worth for most families.It is the one investment that not onlycan help you put your kids throughcollege or retire comfortably, it canalso be used to house your family andcreate lifetime memories and astrong, healthy community in themeantime. You cant get that from astock or a bond.

Update Your Home Safely with a
Lead-Safe Certified Renovator
Courtesy, National Association of Home Builders
Youve made the decision to
remodel the outdated kitchen andliving room of your home. But if youlive in a house built before 1978, anew federal law regulating theremoval of lead paint will affect yourhome remodeling project.
In 1978, the use of lead paint wasofficially banned from residentialconstruction. Before that, however,
lead paint was used in more than38 million homes, according to theU.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency (EPA).
Today, contractors hired to dorenovation, repair and paintingprojects that will involve at least6 square feet of lead-based paint inhomes built before 1978 must be EPA
Lead-Safe certified and must followspecific work practices to preventlead contamination.
It is important that you find a
remodeler who is trained in lead-safework practices rather than try to dothe work yourself. Not only that, butits the law: Contractors working inpre-1978 homes must be lead-paintcertified and must follow these lead-safe practices whether or not there arechildren in the homeunless thehome owner can certify that the houseis lead-paint free.
EPA has a free brochure on its website (www.leadfreekids.org) calledRenovate Right that providesguidance to home owners andcontractors about remodeling safely tominimize lead dust exposure.
To find a Lead-Safe CertifiedRenovator or firm near you, contact
the Fredericksburg Area BuildersAssociation at 540/898-2730 or visitwww.epa.gov/lead.

The Perfect Home Buying Combo:High Affordability and Low
Interest Rates
Courtesy, National Association of Home Builders
If you are still trying to decidewhether you want to move from beinga renter to a home owner, what areyou waiting for? Housing affordabilityis at an all-time high and interest ratesare at 50-year lowsthe perfectcombination for todays home buyers.
In November, the NationalAssociation of Home Builders/Wells Fargo Housing Opportunity Index(HOI) showed that 72.1 percent of allnew and existing homes sold in thethird quarter of 2010 were affordableto families earning the national medianincome of $64,400.
You cant beat todays incredibly lowinterest rates. In November, accordingto Freddie Macs Primary MortgageMarket Survey, mortgage interestrates are at record all-time lows,
averaging just above 4 percent for a30-year fixed rate and 3.5 percent fora 15-year fixed loan.
When interest rates go up, the effecton monthly payments can be dramatic.A $200,000, 30-year, fixed-ratemortgage with a 5 percent interest ratehas a monthly payment of $1,074. At 6percent the monthly payments go upto $1,199an increase of $125 amonth.
Even more examples of the financialsavings and other advantages ofhomeownership can be found in thefree Opportunity Knocks brochureavailable to download from theNational Association of Home Buildersat www.nahb.org/homebuyerbrochure.

Small Homes, Small Details AmongNew Home Design Trends
Courtesy, National Association of Home Builders
Open floor plans, energy-efficientfeatures, and lots of closet space areamong the elements that todays homebuyers are seeking in newly-constructedhomes, according to industry experts atthe 2011 International Builders Show.The research and trends presented atthe show offer valuable insights andinformation to home builders so thatthey can build homes that appeal to themodern consumers preferences.
Once-popular features such as largeliving rooms, soaking tubs and second-floor laundry rooms are now out of
favor. Home buyers found that theconvenience of not having to carrylaundry to another floor wasoutweighed by the noise thatinterrupted their sleep.
Home buyers are looking for smalldetails in their new homes, such as abuilt-in desk under a stairway, or acourtyard tucked between twodownstairs bedrooms. Successful homebuilders create memory points, said
design trends seminar speaker KateBrennan of the Chicago design firmMary Cook and Associates.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau,the average size of a new single familyhome decreased from 2,438 squarefeet to 2,377 in 2010. This fact madedesigning to maximize space a populartheme at the show. One sessionfocused exclusively on new ideas inhome design for floor plans measuring
2,500 square feet or fewer.Open floor plans are now in high
demand because they are not onlymore practical for entertainingthehosts can interact with their dinnerguests in a spacious kitchen while theyare preparing foodbut the lack ofwalls and closed-off spaces make thehome seem much larger.
The kitchen is now the hub of thehome more than ever. Even if busy
families are bringing home takeout,they want the kitchen island to be largeenough to serve a multi-taskingpurpose as a place to do homework,crafts, and pay billsas well as to enjoycoffee on a Sunday morning.
Natural finishes are also morepopular. Recycled flooring, using a mixof wood grains on the cabinets andarchitectural details that reflect theindigenous building of the regionsuch as using stucco in theSouthwestare more important tobuyers.
Session panelists also shared thathome builders should pay attention to agrowing group of home buyers:WINKsWomen with No Kids. Thesewomen have distinct preferences thatdont quite fit into the usual categoriesthat home designers talk about: first-time buyers who tend to be singles andyoung professionals, move-up buyerswho usually have children, and empty-nesters.
WINKs have more buying power thana generation ago and are seekingsmaller homes that have multipurposerooms for entertaining along withintimate retreat spaces forthemselves.
A survey of 20,000 home buyers inthe United States and Canada pointsout that there are a number of featuresin new homes that are considered non-negotiable across almost all
demographic groups, said Paul Cardisof AVID Ratings Co., who spoke at aseminar on new design preferences.
The top five features include walk-inclosetsmentioned by 66 percent offirst-time buyers as a must haveenergy-efficient appliances, linenclosets, a large kitchen and the overallefficiency of the home, Cardis said.

The Mortgage Interest Deductionis Under Attack
American voters have a clear message
for Congress: Dont touch mymortgage interest deduction!However, a recent draft proposalreleased by the co-chairs of the NationalCommission on Fiscal Responsibility andReform (NCFRR) threatens thisdeduction that often providesthousands of dollars of tax savings eachyear to American home owners.
A recent nationwide survey of 800
likely voters commissioned by theNational Association of Home Builders(NAHB) shows that no matter theirpolitical party affiliation orhomeownership status, Americans dontwant their mortgage interest deductionto be taken away.
Here are some important results ofthe survey:
Even people who arent able to claima mortgage interest deduction supportit. Eighty-two percent of renters and72 percent of owners think taxincentives to promote homeownershipare reasonable.
Sixty-nine percent of Republicans,
83 percent of Democrats and 70percent of Independents think it isreasonable for the federal governmentto provide tax incentives to promotehomeownership.
An overwhelming majority ofAmericans81 percentfeel that themortgage interest deduction shouldremain in the tax code. This comparesto 82 percent for medical expenses,
76 percent for state/local taxes, and66 percent for charitable deductions.
Critics of the deduction argue that itfavors high-income taxpayers overlower to moderate income earners whoneed it most. But according to the JointCommittee on Taxation, 89 percent oftaxpayers benefitting from thededuction make less than $200,000annually.
Any change to the tax code thatlimits or eliminates the deduction willnegatively affect homeownership inAmerica.

keeps things simple with only three moving parts.
The ZT-5400 transaxles have two speeds, Low Range (up to 12 MPH) and High Range (up to 16 MPH).The large 15-gallon fuel capacity (dual tanks) keeps you in the field cutting grass. Fill up in the morning
and cut all day long.
