Your Guide to Buying Brand-New Kitchen Appliances By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

February 26, 2016 Joe Szabo

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

If the kitchen is the heart of the home, its major appliances are what keep it pumping. So it’s no surprise that 46 percent of American homeowners cite the cook space as the area where they’d most likely splurge on a remodel — and 56 percent of those planning work have set their sights on new appliances, according to a recent national survey by LG Electronics.

If your last kitchen remodel was years ago, a lot has probably changed since the last time you bought a fridge, dishwasher, range, or cooktop-oven combo. You’ll need to factor in the latest high-tech features, as well as your kitchen’s size and layout, your family’s cooking and eating habits, your aesthetic taste, and, of course, your budget.

To save money, it’s smart to comparison shop online, hunt for coupons, and negotiate with retailers for a better deal or perks like free delivery and installation. And think ahead: Buying a model that has earned an Energy Star label can mean lower electric bills over the lifetime of your new appliance.

Above all, before you make any big purchase, measure not just your space but also your doorways to make sure your sparkly new appliance will actually fit in your home.

Finding a fridge

A family of four is usually fine with fridge capacity of 19 to 22 cubic feet, though there are now models on the market boasting 30 cubic feet and more. Beyond size, your primary consideration is door style.

Traditional top-freezer models offer ample storage for small kitchens.
Bottom-drawer freezers store popular fare at eye-level, as folks tend to reach for fresh foods more often than frozen ones.
Side-by-sides (fridge on the right, freezer on the left) are well suited to narrow spaces.
French door models, with a freezer on the bottom, tend to be taller and wider. Some high-capacity four-door units even include one versatile compartment that can function as a fridge or freezer.
Finally, a pricey built-in fridge with your choice of door configuration can lie flush with, and possibly even match, your cabinets for a sleek look.

In terms of key features, look for temperature-controlled meat and produce bins, humidity monitoring for freshness, and easy-to-arrange shelves. If you can splurge, other cool conveniences include door-in-door storage and through-the-door ice/water dispensers — a handy option that, alas, tends to be the first thing to break in a fridge.

Deciding on a dishwasher

Today’s dishwashers work harder (no prerinsing required) and more quietly than their predecessors. A conventional dishwasher is often all the average family needs, though premium versions have bells and whistles like flexible loading, extra flatware slots, and a stain-resistant stainless steel tub.

First, settle on style. Your available space will dictate whether you choose a fold-down door unit or spring for a more compact drawer model. Of those, single-drawer units are ideal for small kitchens (and small families), while dual-drawer machines let you run each compartment independently — for instance, a short delicate cycle for stemware and a simultaneous power wash for pots.

Next, factor in features. If you entertain a lot, you’ll want flexible loading. Look for adjustable racks, three racks instead of the usual two, and foldable tines that accommodate odd-shaped or oversized cookware.

Controls may be traditional buttons or sleek touch screens, or they may be hidden altogether. It’s best, however, to select a model that has a visible cycle-time display so you’ll know if the machine is still running.

Selecting a range/oven

What’s cooking? Good question, as it may dictate your choice in range, oven, or cooktop.

If you’ve got a small kitchen and are generally an “everyday” cook, a range — an all-in-one oven and stovetop unit available in standard cabinet size — typically makes the most sense. But if you’ve got more room, often whip up elaborate meals, or share the kitchen with another home cook, the flexibility of an in-counter cooktop and wall oven (single or double) might be the better choice.

Still wishy-washy on what you want? Consider also:

Budget. Though you can certainly drop a bundle on a professional style, ranges are usually the more affordable option, not to mention easier to install.
Aesthetics. A hefty-looking range can function as a focal point for the room (especially if your kitchen lacks an island), yet some people prefer the streamlined look of built-ins.
Ergonomics. A wall oven at eye and arm level suits folks with back or knee issues, eliminating the need to bend down to lift heavy pans.

The next big question is fuel source. Gas burners are known for even heating, while electric burners heat faster. An induction cooktop — an electric cooktop that relies on magnetic coils — is a pricier option that promises both quick and precise heating. Also worth considering is a convection oven, in which fans circulate hot air, resulting in more even heat distribution (a bonus for bakers).

Finally, assess what additional features suit you. Do you need a variable broil setting? Touchpad or screen controls? Some designs even include the flexibility of a baking or warming drawer that lets you prepare items at different temperatures simultaneously.

3 Signs You Shouldn’t Put Your Home on the Market Yet By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

February 23, 2016 Joe Szabo

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

Many sellers think they’re ready to sell, but scratch the surface and you may find fear, anxiety, or undue pressure to make a move. Since typical real estate transaction contracts don’t provide an exit for the seller — only the buyer — it’s best to hold off listing if you’re not sure you’re ready to sell.

Having your home sit on the market for an extended time will make buyers wonder what’s wrong with it. If you’re about to list your home for sale but any of the following warning signs apply to you, you should give some serious thought to waiting.

You haven’t emotionally detached from the home

Selling a home isn’t like selling your car — there are major emotional considerations involved. Have you been in your home for 10 years or more? Did you grow up or make incredible memories there? Is your home sale the result of a major life event, like a death or divorce?

If so, the thought of packing up your home, moving out and allowing complete strangers to traipse through it could spark a panic attack. It’s better to hold off, mourn the loss of your home or life event, and list the property when you’re fully prepared to move on. Otherwise you face an uphill battle.

Your desired price is more than 10 percent off what agents are telling you

The first few weeks a home is listed is when it gets the most action from the serious buyer pool. If you’ve priced your home too high, it could still be languishing on the market six months down the line.

At that point, you’ll drop the price — but the buyers will punish you for those greedy first few months, and your ultimate sale price will end up being a lot less than what your agent suggested.

If more than one agent recommends pricing your home at more than 10 percent below what you want for it, that’s a sign you should hold off and not test the market.

You don’t have a sound exit strategy if you get a deal

No plan to relocate, rent or buy a new home? You might not be the best candidate for listing.

Without a plan, you have zero motivation to clean, organize, stage, paint or make the home market-ready. And if it doesn’t show well, you leave money on the table.

Sellers with a well-developed game plan spend time and money in advance of listing. They also keep their home in great condition for the duration of the sale. It’s not easy, but hard work pays off.

If you’re not ready to make the commitment, don’t put your home on the market.

5 Steps to Ease Home-Buying Anxiety by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

February 19, 2016 Joe Szabo

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

Many consumers have misconceptions about what it takes to qualify for a mortgage. Most believe the requirements are tougher than they actually are, according to a recent Fannie Mae survey.

When asked about key mortgage qualification criteria (such as down payment percentage, credit score, and debt-to-income ratio), roughly half of consumers selected “don’t know” or provided an invalid answer.

“This research suggests there are too many eligible home buyers sitting on the sidelines due to misperceptions or anxiety about being turned down for a loan,” says Steve Deggendorf, director, business strategy for Fannie Mae’s Economic & Strategic Research (ESR) Group.

To be sure you’re ready to buy a home, and ease any anxiety you have about the process, Fannie Mae offers the following five suggestions.

1. Learn all you can about mortgages

Mortgages have changed a lot in recent years as lenders and investors make adjustments reflective of American households. For example, several adults in the household may be working and contributing to the household budget.

Fannie Mae’s HomeReady mortgage lets lenders consider income from other household members when qualifying the borrower. Additionally, some buyers may qualify for zero-down options, including VA loans (guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs) for veterans, service members, and surviving spouses, and U.S. Department of Agriculture loans for low- to middle-income borrowers in qualifying rural areas.

Use of both loan types is on the rise, according to the Census Bureau’s American Housing Survey, especially among first-time buyers.

2. Talk to a professional

Don’t know how to save or what your credit score is? No problem. The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) sponsors counseling agencies nationwide that provide free or low-cost pre-purchase counseling to help you understand the terminology you’ll hear from lenders and assess your own financial situation.

“Our job as home credit counselors is to demystify this crucial transaction by educating the people who come to us, so that when it comes time to buy a house, they know what questions to ask and what issues to look out for,” says Rick Harper, a senior vice president at San Francisco’s Consumer Credit Counseling Services.

3. Explore down payment assistance

Seventy percent of U.S. adults are unaware about down payment programs available for middle-income home buyers in their community, according to NeighborWorks America, a national nonprofit community development corporation based in Washington, D.C.

“I would argue that percentage is even higher,” says Rob Chrane, president of Down Payment Resource. There are dozens of down payment assistance programs and homeowner education options in most areas, he notes. His organization maintains a database of programs you can search for free.

4. Compare mortgage quotes

Only one-third of home buyers shop around for a mortgage, according to ESR research — and that’s often at a later stage of the home-buying process, which means they could be missing out on saving money.

“As large and infrequent as the mortgage transaction is in most people’s financial lives, borrowers may be leaving money on the table by not shopping around and negotiating for the best terms they can get,” comments ESR’s Sarah Shahdad. “Getting a better deal can help borrowers sustain their mortgage even in the case of unexpected increases in expenses, or decreases in income.”

5. Consider long-term costs

As any home buyer knows, there are costs you can anticipate: your monthly mortgage or homeowners association fees, for example.

There are also unexpected costs like paying for a new roof. Angie Hicks (of Angie’s Lists) advises that homeowners set aside three to five percent of the value of their home every year to use for repairs and improvements. “You’ll want to tuck that money away so you don’t get stressed when something goes wrong — because things can, and will, go wrong,” she says.

Insurance 101: Review Your Insurance Policy at Renewal by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

February 16, 2016 Joe Szabo

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

Home insurance can be confusing. Policies are customized to fit the needs of each policyholder, so coverage can vary widely. If you’ve never read your policy cover to cover, stop what you’re doing and find the time to do so.

Do you know if you’re covered in the event of a meteor hitting your home? What about if heavy rainfall leads to a flood in your basement? If the former occurs, you’re likely protected, as this seemingly random coverage is typically included in standard policies. The latter? You may not be as lucky, as flood insurance often is a completely separate entity.

About 32 million households throughout the country do not have appropriate insurance, according to Trusted Choice, an Independent Insurance Agent company. Some have far too much coverage, while others are rolling the dice with holes in their policies that could lead to financial hardships.

To know the situations in which you are and aren’t covered, review your policy. The following are some tips for when, with whom and how to comb through your coverage.

How much coverage should you have?

There are three main coverages you need to have in order to protect your home — structure, contents and liability.

Structure

This coverage is the amount it would cost to rebuild your home if it were completely destroyed by a covered peril.

Determining your home’s value can be tricky, because it’s not exactly the same as the amount you purchased your house for. For example, the cost likely includes the plot of land, and if your home was destroyed, you wouldn’t need to rebuy the land.

Also, you have to factor in the cost of materials, which can change quite often. It’s important to review your policy regularly to ensure you have the correct amount of coverage to rebuild the home from scratch.

Contents

Contents coverage is typically set between 50 percent and 70 percent of your home’s value, and can help pay to repair or replace your belongings if they’re damaged or destroyed at the hands of a covered peril.

Again, determining the amount of coverage necessary can be tough, as there’s often a cap of $1,000 to $2,500 for high-value items. Meaning that if you have a rare art collection, an extensive number of antiques, or gems aplenty, you may not be adequately covered if your home is the victim of a burglary or fire, for example.

The best way to determine the amount of coverage that fits your needs is to create a home inventory — an itemized list of everything you own and the value of each item — and go over it with your insurance agent. You may need to add a floater policy to cover your more expensive possessions.

Liability

Liability coverage is an absolute must. If someone is injured on your property and racks up costly medical bills, you could be on the hook. To determine the amount of liability coverage that’s right for you, it’s important to be completely transparent with your insurance provider.

For example, if you own a dog, your insurance carrier needs to know. Your monthly payments may be a little higher each month, but if your provider doesn’t know that you have a pup and it bites a guest, you likely won’t receive any help with the resulting medical expenses. And dog bites account for about one-third of all home insurance claims, with the average claim costing $32,072, according to theInsurance Information Institute.

Speak with a licensed agent to accurately assess the risks in your home so you have exactly the amount of liability coverage you need.

There are additional home insurance coverages that you can add to your policy. Said protections include other structures (such as detached garages or sheds on your property) and additional living expenses, such as hotel rooms and meals if you’re displaced due to a covered peril.

Discuss additional coverages with a licensed professional to determine if they should be added to your policy.

When to review your policy

When it’s time to renew your coverage with your insurance provider — likely an annual occurrence — walk through your policy with an agent and ask questions. Walking and reading through your policy with a professional will help ensure that you have coverage that’s accurately tailored to your individual needs.

The Pros and Cons of Merging Finances by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

February 12, 2016 Joe Szabo

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

Whether you’re a newlywed or have recently moved in with your significant other, you two have a lot to decide about the best way to handle household matters. Figuring out how you’ll divide laundry duties, grocery shopping and other mundane responsibilities is a piece of cake compared to the big question: finances.

If you’re thinking about combining your finances, here are a few pros and cons to consider.

Pros

Teamwork
If you’re on the same page, with your short- and long-term financial goals synced up, and financial priorities fully aligned, there’s nothing more fulfilling than knowing you’re in this together via a complete financial union.

By combining all your assets and liabilities, you’re looking beyond your personal wants and needs, and ultimately making the commitment to succeed or fail — together, as a unit.

Simplicity
One of the benefits of joining accounts is that it makes bill paying and record keeping a whole lot easier (particularly if you’ve established a budget).

Furthermore, combining your loan accounts, such as credit cards, could help you get additional loans in the future.

And if you’re making consistent, timely payments, both of your credit scores will improve. If you had kept that credit account separate, only one of you would have the benefit of a higher score, which could hurt you down the road when you apply for additional credit.

Taxes
Sure, filing separate returns may be beneficial in some instances. (For example, if one spouse has large medical bills and can meet the deduction threshold by considering only his or her income.)

But joint filing saves time, and possibly money, too — particularly if you both work and one of you makes considerably more than the other. Combining incomes could bring the higher earnings into a lower tax bracket.

Also, some tax credits are only available to a married couple when they file jointly. Talk to your accountant for additional information about minimizing the tax bite.

Cons

Attitudes
Some couples may not agree on certain issues, like creating a spending/saving plan, setting retirement goals, or even how much debt they should carry. After all, opposites do attract, and in many relationships, there is, in fact, a spender and a saver.

If your financial philosophies don’t align, and you’re combining your financial life with someone who has vastly different expectations, goals, systems, ideals and habits, this could bring challenges and unwelcome relationship conflict.

Dependence
If you’ve been managing your money on your own for years, and have been relatively successful in doing so (from choosing your 401K funds to setting a budget to planning a vacation), you may not want to relinquish your financial autonomy.

Sure, there may be more bookkeeping for you to do if you keep your finances separate, and opt for more of a yours/mine/ours account type arrangement (commonly referred to as the “three pot system”), but it may ultimately provide you with the independence and comfort you desire.

Disentangling
You may be in la la land now, but what happens if the relationship doesn’t work out in the long run? Joint mortgages, credit cards, and bank accounts can be very difficult to separate, even with a formal court-ordered divorce decree.

15 Words That Could Add Value to Your Listing by Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

February 9, 2016 Joe Szabo

By Joe Szabo, Scottsdale Real Estate Team

Why do some homes sell for a premium? Timing, for starters. An analysis of 24,000 home sales in “Zillow Talk: Rewriting the Rules of Real Estate” also reveals listings with certain keywords tend to sell for more than expected.

“Bottom-tier homes described as luxurious tend to beat their expected sale price by a whopping 8.2 percent,” write co-authors Spencer Rascoff and Stan Humphries. “Top-tier homes described as captivating tend to beat theirs by 6.5 percent. That means, if your home’s estimated home value is $110,000, but your listing includes the key word ‘luxurious,’ you could pocket an extra $8,965.”

If one of the following words accurately describes your home, you might want to consider adding it to your listing.

1. Luxurious

As mentioned above, lower-priced listings with the word “luxurious” sold for 8.2 percent more on average than expected. “Luxurious” signals that a home’s finishes and amenities are high-end. This is a huge selling point, particularly in this price range.

2. Captivating

Top-tier listings described as “captivating” sold for 6.5 percent more on average than expected. Unlike the word “nice,” “captivating” provides a richer, more enticing description for buyers. Plus, it’s less open to interpretation. Anything can be seen as “nice,” but “captivating” sets a high bar.

3. Impeccable

On average, listings in the bottom tier with the word “impeccable” sold for 5.9 percent more than expected. Like “captivating,” “impeccable” is a rich adjective. It also implies something about the quality of a home: The features are desirable and the home is move-in ready.

4. Stainless

“Stainless” is typically used to describe kitchens with “stainless steel appliances.” It’s in your favor to talk up these features in your listing — especially if your home is in the bottom price tier. In our analysis, lower-priced homes with the word “stainless” sold for 5 percent more on average than expected.

5. Basketball

On average, lower-priced homes with the word “basketball” sold for 4.5 percent more than expected. This may seem like an odd word to include in this list, but when you consider the context it makes sense. Among lower-priced homes, a basketball court — or even better, an indoor basketball court — is a huge selling point. While it may not stand out as much among higher-priced homes, it’s definitely worth mentioning in this price range.

6. Landscaped

It’s just as valuable to describe your yard as your house. In all price tiers, listings with the word “landscaped” sold for more than expected on average. The biggest premium was seen among lower-priced listings, which on average sold for 4.2 percent more than expected.

7. Granite

In the same vein as “stainless,” “granite” is typically used to describe countertops or another high-end home feature. Listings with the word “granite” sold, on average, for 1 to 4 percent more than expected across all price tiers.

8. Pergola

Not only should you include high-end home features in your listing description, you should also mention features not found in every home. They’ll help your listing stand out, especially if buyers are searching for homes online by keyword. The data shows mid-priced listings with the word “pergola” sold for 4 percent more on average than expected.

9. Remodel

Was your home recently remodeled? It may be worth mentioning. On average, bottom-tier listings with the word “remodel” sold for 2.9 percent more, middle-tier homes for 1.8 percent more and top-tier homes for 1.7 percent more than expected.

10. Beautiful

While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, a beautiful feature like a view may be worth noting. Lower-priced listings with the word “beautiful” sold for 2.3 percent more on average than expected.

11. Gentle

“Gentle” may seem like a weird adjective to have in a listing description. It’s typically used to describe “gentle rolling hills” or something about a home’s location. Top-tier listings with the word “gentle” sold for 2.3 percent more, on average, than expected.

12. Spotless

You may think all homes are spotless when a buyer moves in, so it’s not worth mentioning in a listing. But when it comes to lower-priced homes, cleanliness isn’t always a given. In this price range, listings described as “spotless” sold for 2 percent more on average than expected.

13. Tile

Much like “stainless” and “granite,” “tile” is a great word when it comes to describing the features of your home. A newly tiled backsplash or updated bathroom tile not only indicates a home’s aesthetic value but also sends a message to buyers that the home’s been well cared for by the current owners. Bottom-tier homes with the word “tile” in the listing sold for 2 percent more on average than expected.

14. Upgraded

On average, lower-priced listings with the word “upgraded” sold for 1.8 percent more than expected. Most buyers will agree that upgrades are a selling point. They indicate a home not only looks nice but also functions well. Spelling out which features have been updated is a good approach, so buyers have the right expectations when they see your home.

15. Updated

“Updated” sends a similar message to “upgraded.” But in addition to speaking to the quality of a home, it signals that something old has been replaced with something new. This is a great fact to communicate to potential buyers, as evidenced by the data. Mid-priced homes with “updated” in the listing sold for 0.8 percent more on average than expected.
