SUPPORT FOROWNING HOMESHOWNLikely voters strong-ly value homeown-ership and wouldoppose efforts toweaken or eliminatethe mortgage in-terest deduction ordiminish a federalrole to help qualifiedhomebuyers obtainaffordable 30-yearmortgages, accord-ing to a survey con-ducted for the Na-tional Association ofHome Builders. Thesurvey, with a mar-gin of error of plusor minus 2.5 percent,showed that threeout of four voters —owners and renters— think it is appro-priate and reason-able for the federalgovernment to pro-vide tax incentivesto promote home-ownership. Also,two-thirds of thoseresponding agreedthat the federalgovernment shouldhelp homebuyersafford a long-termfixed-rate mortgage,and 73 percent saidthey opposed elim-ination of the mort-gage interest deduc-tion.

FROM STAFF AND WIRE REPORTS

Glimmers of hope for abetter U.S. economy aresurfacing. But for home-owners who want to selltheir property, will an im-proving economy translateto better sale prospects?

Real estate experts saidthat depends on the rela-tive strength of their localmarket.

“Not all neighborhoodsare rebounding at the samespeed. Some are alreadyred hot. Others are flat butimproving. Still otherscould be a few years awayfrom a full recovery,” saidSid Davis, an independentreal estate broker and au-thor of “A Survival Guideto Selling a Home.”

Davis said it’s a mistakefor sellers to peg theirplanning on national data.

“The only statistics thatreally count are statisticsfor your neighborhood,” hesaid.

He said it’s smart forpotential sellers to gather

market intelligence beforemaking a judgment aboutreal estate trends in theirneighborhood. Such in-formation is important assellers decide on price andtiming.

Davis said another ma-jor category of prospectivehome sellers includes babyboomers who would like tomove to a smaller house orcondo but have been hold-ing off due to a slow-sell-ing market.

“These are folks whoaren’t under pressure tosell but are eagerly await-ing the right moment tomove,” he said.

Here are a few pointers

for homeowners assessingneighborhood real estatetrends:

I Request consulta-tions with local real es-tate pros.

Eric Tyson, a personalfinance expert and co-au-thor of “House Selling forDummies,” said the bestsources of information ona local market are usuallyreal estate agents active inthe area.

“A good agent won’tmanipulate you into sellingbefore you’re ready,” Tysonsaid.

He acknowledged thatmany in the field are in-clined toward optimism,“given that they have a bi-as toward doing transac-tions.” But he said you canminimize the effect of anysuch bias by asking forpresale consultations withmore than one agent.

Other solid sources ofmarket intelligence in-clude appraisers, mortgage

lenders and real estate at-torneys who do business inyour area.

I Ask local agents forup-to-date market data.

Once you’ve definedyour neighborhood, Davisrecommends you ask localreal estate agents for locallist-to-sale data for thepast 90 days. These showthe difference betweenasking and selling prices. Ifthis gap is narrowing, thelocal market should be sta-ble or gaining strength. Ifit’s widening, the marketcould be weakening.

Another key set of sta-tistics that Davis uses in-volves “days on market.” Ifmany properties in thecommunity are languish-ing unsold for weeks ormonths, it’s likely real es-tate demand has weak-ened. But a quickeningpace of home sales couldsuggest the opposite.

I Avoid relying tooheavily on average sales

price statistics.While many market ob-

servers depend heavily ondata about average saleprices, Tyson cautionsagainst relying too muchon these numbers.

“The problem with av-erage sale prices is that themix of properties thathappen to have sold duringany given period can reallyimpact the results. For ex-ample, if a few unusuallyhigh-end homes have soldrecently, that could giveyou an unrealistically rosyview,” Tyson said.

He says a better measureof the relative strength ofany market focuses onmedian sales prices. In thiscase, the median would bethe price difference thatseparates the more expen-sive half of the homes soldfrom the less expensivehalf.

SMARTMOVES

NORMAN — Even unfinished,with workers hammering awayupstairs, the enormous stonehome taking shape east of Nor-man — all 5,000 square feet of it —exudes a warm, Old World feel.

Windows and doorways arerounded, a spiraling staircase istaking shape in the entry hall, andhardwood covers the floors, whichwill be finished off with a “dis-tressed” look in the coming days.

Large or small, such details aretypical for Sun Custom Homes,said Kurt Dinnes, 52, who co-founded the company with part-ners Randy Earhart and KeithHocker in 2000. “We do a moreluxurious high-end house wheth-er it’s 1,800 square feet or 7,000square feet,” he said.

And as 2012 president ofthe Central OklahomaHome Builders Associ-ation, Dinnes said he plansto keep a steady hand onthe rudder and let the or-ganization continue to dowhat it does best: offer avoice for its members.

“The advocacy, thevoice, that the HomeBuilders Association pro-vides for all its members isabsolutely essential,” hesaid.

The group works withpolicymakers at all levelsto help keep the OklahomaCity area’s homebuildingindustry strong.

“And it is strong,”Dinnes said. “What is re-ally exciting right now isthe National Associationof Home Builders putOklahoma City as one ofits emerging markets on itsemerging market index, asone of the leading cities inthe United States movingthe homebuilding slump ina positive direction. Sowe’ve had six months,more than six months, ofincreased homebuildingactivity.”

Oklahoma City and Tul-sa appeared on the Na-tional Association ofHome Builders/FirstAmerican Improving Mar-kets Index, which was re-leased earlier this month.

The newest index lists76 metro areas nationwide— 41more than on Decem-ber’s index — pullingthemselves out of thehousing bust in terms ofsingle-family buildingpermits for at least sixmonths in a row. The list iscalculated using a mix offigures from the CensusBureau, the Bureau of La-bor Statistics and FreddieMac.

Dinnes credited themetro area’s diverse poolof builders for OklahomaCity’s strong showing.

“For the most part,they’re small builders, thebuilders who build 10 to 20homes a year,” he said.“And there’s a lot of greatcraftsmanship here in cen-tral Oklahoma. It keeps thehome values to wherethey’re very affordablehere in central Oklahoma.We don’t have a lot of big,publicly traded companieshere because it is so com-petitive.”

That’s good for con-sumers, he said.

“Consumers have a lotof choice and a lot of goodhomebuilders from whichto choose to have theirhome built. I think thatproduces a lot of very, verynice product here in theOklahoma City area,” hesaid.

Dinnes is passionateabout home design andbuilding, his journeys of-ten combining vacationwith reconnaissance, buthe took a roundabout routeto get to this point. Born inSarasota, Fla., and raisedin Denton, Texas, his in-terest was piqued at anearly age.

“Ever since I was a littleboy, I always wanted to bea homebuilder,” Dinnessaid. “I used to walkthrough homes thinking,‘Gosh, if I just could be-come a homebuilder thatwould be the neatest

thing.’ ”By the time he made it to

the University of NorthTexas in Denton, though,his focus had shifted tocommercial art. Heworked at Taco Inn duringcollege, and maybe theowner spotted somethingin the young student —when he decided to sellout, he invited Dinnes tojoin a group in Oklahomato help found a new res-taurant concept.

“And he offered me$800 a month. And Ithought, ‘My gosh, $800 amonth. I don’t think I canspend $800 in any givenmonth,’ ” he said with alaugh.

So Dinnes moved toNorman in 1978 andhelped open the first TacoMayo, helping start whatbecame a chain. One storeled to another, setting inmotion a chain of eventsthat led to a franchisingcompany being formed in1980. Dinnes bought asmall percentage of thatcompany, which contin-ued to grow. He now ispresident of Taco MayoFranchise Systems Inc.

“I got involved in de-signing the Taco Mayosand creating the looks yousee today,” he said.

Sun Custom Homessprang in 2000 from theentity that built those res-taurants, after Dinnes de-cided he had the resourcesand the experience to pur-sue his homebuildingdream. He did so with theblessing of his businesspartner Earhart, who alsoagreed to become a partnerwith him in the customhome business.

Dinnes joined the Cen-tral Oklahoma HomeBuilders Association in2005 and has served on theboard of directors and aschairman of the associ-ation’s 2010 Parade ofHomes. He also has servedas president of the South-west Home Builders Asso-ciation and is on the boardof directors for the GarnerStocker Foundation, anonprofit organization Ta-co Mayo established in1998.

And he relishes his newrole with the Central Okla-homa Home Builders As-sociation.

“It’s truly an honor toserve as the president,” hesaid. “I can’t even begin totell you what an honor it isfor me to do this and servethis association in that ca-pacity.”

Dinnes and his wife,Megan, have been married20 years and have two chil-dren, Alexa Lee-Dinnes,18, and Weston Dinnes, 17.An avid cyclist, KurtDinnes is a regular at theHotter’N Hell Hundred inWichita Falls, Texas, andother rides. In July, he’lltest his mettle in “the mostgrueling event I’ve everdone,” Triple Bypass Ride— involving 120 miles andthree mountain bypassesstarting out from Bergen,Colo.

He’s no stranger tomountain roads, though,riding many miles alongthe winding bywayswhenever he visits his ca-bin near Keystone, Colo.“So hopefully it’ll makeme stronger and won’t killme,” he said with a smile.

DEAR BARRY: I readyour column religiouslyevery week and it seemsthat most of the problemsanswered by you deal withquestionable inspectionsby home inspectors. I ambeginning to think that themajority of home inspec-tors are either extremelyincompetent or are in thepocket of the sellers or re-alty agents.

How can a buyer find anhonest, reliable, and com-petent home inspector?

ArchieDEAR ARCHIE: Your

question raises more thanone issue, so I offer the fol-lowing four answers:

I 1. Many of the ques-tions I receive are com-plaints about home in-spectors. Human naturebeing what it is, peoplespeak up more readilywhen they have a bad ex-perience than when theyhave a good one.

The fact is there aremany competent home in-spectors in the profession,but people don’t write tosay what a great home in-spection they just had.Therefore, the complaintsshow up often in my arti-cles.

I 2. Unfortunately, thereare many home inspectorswho do not perform thor-ough or competent in-spections. No doubt, thereare some cases where thisis due to unethical rela-tionships with Realtors.Personally, I don’t knowany inspectors who oper-ate on that level, so I ex-pect that collusion of thatkind is a rare practice.

But home inspectors areoften exposed to subtlesuggestions and pressuresfrom agents. Without in-tending to be dishonest,there could be a tendency,in such cases, to soften thepresentation of some dis-closures.

I 3. Some home inspec-tors lack the knowledgeand experience needed toconduct a thorough andadequate property evalua-tion. Most home inspec-tors receive ongoing edu-cation from associationssuch as the American So-ciety of Home Inspectorsand various other state as-sociations.

But not all home inspec-tors are on the advancedside of the educationalcurve.

I 4. The toughest ques-tion is how to find a com-petent, reliable home in-spector. The best I can of-fer is a method that is notfoolproof. Try to findsomeone with years of ex-perience, who has per-formed thousands of homeinspections. Look forsomeone who is regardedby Realtors as a nit-pickyperfectionist.

In fact, you could callreal estate offices and ask ifthere is an inspector who isknown as a “deal killer” or“deal breaker.” Inspectorswith that kind of reputa-tion are likely to be quali-fied and honest.

DEAR BARRY: Thehouse I’m buying is over100 years old, and thereappear to be some struc-tural problems. The mainsupport beam in the base-ment is cracked, causingthe upstairs floor to sag.The sellers have installedtemporary supports andsay that permanent repairscan be done at a later timefor about $1,000. Should I

buy this home or leave wellenough alone?

ChrisDEAR CHRIS: If you se-

riously wish to purchasethis home, you should dis-regard the sellers’ assess-ment of the support prob-lems and have the founda-tion and framing systemsprofessionally evaluated.Concerns regarding the

structural integrity of ahome should not be left tochance or to offhand opin-ions.

The framing defectsshould be investigated by alicensed structural engi-neer. The property shouldalso be fully evaluated bythe most thorough and ex-perienced home inspectoryou can find. Additionalproblems will be revealedby a qualified home in-spector, and with the sell-ers soft-selling a structuraldefect, additional findingscould be decisive.

INSPECTOR’S IN THEHOUSE


WASHINGTON — Thoughits demise drew little at-tention because of thepartisan year-end brawlover the payroll tax cutextension in Congress, akey mortgage financingbenefit disappeared at theend of December: Theability of large numbers ofhomebuyers and owners towrite off the premiumsthey pay for mortgageinsurance.

The loss of that taxdeduction — plus manda-tory new fees imposed byCongress on all new con-ventional and FederalHousing Administration-backed loans — couldeffectively ratchet up thecosts of homeownershipthis year.

The expiration of mort-gage insurance deductibil-ity will hit many low-downpayment conventionalloans originated since2007, plus virtually all newmortgages closed this yearwhere the down paymentis less than 20 percent.Though industry expertsdo not have precise num-bers, their estimates rangeinto the millions of exist-ing owners and new pur-chasers potentially touchedby the deductibility termi-nation. Borrowers usingguaranteed veterans andrural housing loans, wheredown payments can dropto zero, also are affected.

The change in the lawtook effect Jan. 1 alongwith the expiration of 58other tax code benefitsthat Congress failed torenew, such as credits forhome energy improve-ments, credits for buildersof energy-efficient newhouses and deductions forstate and local sales taxpayments. They were allcomponents of what wouldhave been an annual “taxextenders” bill authorizingcontinuation of relativelynoncontroversial expiringbenefits for another year ormore. Congress could stillreauthorize all or some ofthe write-offs retroactivelythis year, but the currentpoisonous political atmo-sphere on Capitol Hillraises doubts about thetiming of that scenario.

The mortgage insurancepremium deduction datesto legislation enacted in2006. It allows purchasersand refinancers who useeither private mortgageinsurance or federal insur-ance or guarantees, andwho itemize on their fed-eral tax returns, to writeoff their premiums. Bor-rowers who are single ormarried and filing jointlywith adjusted gross in-comes of $100,000 or lesscan write off 100 percentof their annual mortgageinsurance premiums. Mar-ried homeowners filingsingly can write off 50percent of premiums. Bor-rowers with incomes above$100,000 may qualify forpartial deductionson asliding scale.

In many cases, the post-tax savings for these bor-

rowers are significant. Newbuyers with an income of$100,000 and a mortgageof $200,000 would savebetween $600 and $1,000a year, depending on theircredit score and loan-to-value ratio, according toMGIC, one of the largestprivate mortgage insurersin the country. For house-holds with lower incomes,the impact would be less,depending on their mar-ginal federal tax brackets.

David Stevens, whoserved as FHA commis-sioner and is chief exec-utive of the MortgageBankers Association, saidthe loss of deductibility ofmortgage insurance “hits asegment (of consumers) —middle-income and first-time buyers — where af-

fordability is especiallyimportant.”

But mortgage insurancewas not the only housing-related casualty of thepre-Christmas skirmish-ing. As part of the tempo-rary extension of the pay-roll tax cut, negotiatorstacked an unusual provi-sion that raises fees on themajority of conventionalmortgages — those orig-inated for sale to or guar-antee by Fannie Mae andFreddie Mac. Starting inApril, Fannie and Freddiewill impose a surtax on theguarantee fees they chargeprivate lenders equal toone-tenth of 1 percent.Lenders are virtually cer-tain to pass those fees toconsumers in the form of ahigher note rate or loancharges up front. Industryestimates suggest the sur-tax could add an eighth ofa percentage point to ratesand raise costs to borrow-ers over the life of the loanby more than $4,000 on a$200,000 mortgage.

Unlike standard guaran-tee fees, which are used by

Fannie and Freddie to de-fray loan-default expenses,the new funds will be sentdirectly to the Treasury tohelp pay for the $36 billioncost of the temporary pay-roll tax cut. FHA loans alsowill be hit with a fee in-crease by the payroll bill,raising the annual premi-ums it charges new bor-rowers by one-tenth of apoint.

At a time when the Fed-

eral Reserve is warningthat there can be no broadeconomic improvementuntil housing recovers, itmay strike you as oddpublic policy to raise costsfor homebuyers and refi-nancers in order to fundunrelated, temporary taxrelief. But that’s not theway they saw it on CapitolHill in the rush to holidayrecess.

Bottom line: The mort-

gage insurance deductibil-ity problem may disappearif mortgage insurance getsincluded in an election-year “extender” package.But the fee hikes on mostnew mortgages are here forthe foreseeable future, sofactor them into yourhousing budget.

Don’t be fooled by appearances. TheRock Creek is a town home that lookssmall from the front but extends quite aways back behind its charming front fa-cade. A stucco exterior and gracefullycurved entry arch give this contemporaryplan a decidedly Mediterranean look. Thehome would be an equally good fit in aSouthwestern or Florida neighborhood.

A welcoming front porch spans thefront, next to the entry arch. Double doorsoff the porch open into what could be ahome office, study or your choice. Nat-ural light spills into the foyer through asidelight, panes at the top of the door anda wide window on the right. An entrybench or a hutch nestles into the oppositewall.

Just past a flight of stairs, the entryopens into a large space that comprisesthe dining room, living room and kitchen.A large work island rimmed by an eatingbar helps delineate the L-shaped kitchen

on the left side of this spacious area.Flames dancing in the fireplace can be en-joyed from anywhere in the room.

From the dining area or kitchen, youcan walk out onto a small, partially cov-ered patio, which is also close to the own-ers suite. An abundance of light washesinto the utility room through one of theinner windows outlining the patio. A dooropposite the windows offers direct accessto the two-car garage.

Amenities in the owners suite include adeep walk-in closet, a double vanity and aseparately enclosed toilet and shower area.

Two more bedrooms, a three-sectionbathroom and a loft are upstairs in theRock Creek. The loft overlooks the entryand is in an ideal location for a shared li-brary/study area.

A review plan of the Rock Creek, including floor plans,elevations, section and artist’s conception, can be bought for$25 by phone, mail or online. Add $5 for shipping and handling.Associated Designs, 1100 Jacobs Drive, Eugene, OR 97402.www.associateddesigns.com. (800) 634-0123.
