Professionally SpeakingDear Community,

Here are somethoughts on the realestate market inApril, 2010• April 30, 2010 is

the last day for hav-ing a purchaseagreement in placeto use the homebuyers’ tax creditprograms. The reg-ulations allow toJune 30, 2010 to complete thetransaction. Give your Realtor®a call for more details. • Nationally, existing-home

sales rose 6.8% in Marchaccording to NAR, slightly morethan economists had expected,to a 5.35 million annual rate.First-time buyers purchased44% of all homes, lured by thegovernment's tax-credit pro-gram. The supply of unsoldhomes fell to eight months,down from 8.5 in February.•Moore County real estate

home sales continue toimprove. March sales were 71units as compared to 50 units inMarch 2009. Average sale pricewas $258,300. • First quarter 2010 home

sales (units sold) and homesale prices in Moore Countyincreased significantly from thesame period in 2009. Averagesale price increased 6% andunits sold increased 32%.

• No one is surethat home priceshave bottomed out,however, it is anagreed theory thatthe cost of moneywill increase.• According to

recent businessjournals articles,mortgage rates haveincreased recently

and will jump to around 6% byyear end.• Many banks and mortgage

companies are reentering the“jumbo” mortgage market.• Take advantage of the his-

torically low interest rates. Call aMoore County Realtor® to helpyou develop a strategy ofreducing interest paymentusing the historically low ratesavailable today.• The Pinehurst-Southern

Lloyd Amundsen has joinedFore Properties Realty Inc. inSouthern Pines as a full timereal estate broker. Lloyd camefrom another Leading R.E. affili-ate company in Hilton Head,S.C. where he has practicedreal estate for the last 17 years.Lloyd’s story of the sale of hisHilton Head home and the pur-chase of his Pinehurst homespeaks directly to the experi-ences of many of our buyersand sellers in Moore Countytoday.“Five years ago, my wife,Libby and I decided the home Ibuilt in Hilton Head in 1991 wasin need of some capitalimprovements. After makingthose improvements we decid-ed to sell our home two yearsago and move to Pinehurstwhere Libby’s family is from.At that time I decided to follow

the advice I had often givensellers. Have a home inspectiondone prior to listing the homeand fix all the small problems toinsure the home would beshown in its best light. I hadpriced our home at what I andfellow Realtors thought was rea-sonable for the current marketat that time, but we received nooffers, in spite of spending$50,000 on indoor-outdoorpainting, granite counters, newappliances, flooring, etc. Themarket was not improving so Ihired an appraiser to be surethat the home would appraise inthe range of the house price. Itdid not, so the price had tochange. Within a few months itsold and we came to Pinehurst.Bill Sahadi, whom I am nowworking with, was the listingbroker for the Pinewild homewe purchased. Like our previ-

ous home, it too had manyrecent upgrades, and Bill hadpriced it to sell. And it did andin a very short time in todaysmarket. The old adage is eventruer today….Do you want to listyour home or do you want toSELL it? My “past life” in photography,advertising, marketing and pub-lishing has served me well inthe real estate business and noone appreciates the power ofvisuals and their importance inthe marketing of a home asmuch as I do.We chose Pinehurst for its lowkey pace, location, price range,lot sizes, friendliness and ofcourse, it’s golf courses, med-ical community and charm. Ihave been “accused” by clientsof spending too much time andeffort to satisfy their needs butthey still come back and send

friends. It’s the only way Iknow how to conduct businesson behalf of others.”Lloyd can be reached at 910

By Victoria Spannaus Wells Fargo Home Mortgage

Over the next few years, mil-lions of Baby Boomers will bemoving because of retirementor a desire to downsize. Willthey all be forced to buy newlyconstructed homes specificallydesigned for older homeown-ers? Definitely not.

More and more professionalremodelers are modifyingexisting home to incorporateuniversal design features suchas walk-in showers and exteri-or ramps.

After helping his own parentsadapt to 1968 split-levelhouse, certified remodelerWarner McConaughey learnedfirst-hand that “universal

design isn’t just for old people,it’s for anybody.”

Although McConaughey’sparents are physically fit, itmade sense to remodel thehouse now in case their healthdeteriorates in the future. Theresult is a flexible living spacethat can accommodate ahomeowner of any age or abil-ity.

His parents wanted an addi-tion on the main floor near thekitchen and family room thatthey can use as a mastersuite when they’re older. Untilthat time, they’ll use the newbed/bath addition as an artstudio and powder room for

guests. On the outside, rampsare subtly camouflaged instone to blend with the exist-ing landscaping, which willaccommodate a wheelchair orwalker in the future. In addi-tion to wide doorways andflush thresholds, easy-to-oper-ate casement windows havebeen installed.

Many affordable universal-design features can be inte-grated into existing homes to

make them more user-friendly-- and more appealing to buy-ers. To download a copy ofAARP’s booklet “The Do-AbleRenewable Home,” visitwww.universaldesign.com.For a free consultation to dis-cuss which type of mortgageloan will work best for you, callVictoria Spannaus at WellsFargo Home Mortgage at (800)741-7813 or 910-692-6225.

Seems lately the news is filledwith news stories coveringexpensive government pro-grams and citizens protestingthe spending of our tax dollars;but here is a great example agovernment spending programgetting it right by seeking toreward those Americans whohave done so much for theircountry -- our armed servicesmembers.For most Americans, thehome buyer tax credit expirestoday on April 30. ButCongress, recognizing thatmany members of the military,foreign service, and intelligenceservice members may havemissed out on the opportunityto take advantage of the creditdue to multiple deploymentsoverseas, has given servicemembers more time to takeadvantage of it. The law provides qualifiedservice members who servedon official extendedduty outside of the UnitedStates for 90 days or more atany time between Jan. 1, 2009,to April 30, 2010, another yearto buy a home and claim thecredit. “Qualified service mem-bers” are defined as a memberof the uniformed services of theUnited States military, a mem-ber of the Foreign Service ofthe United States, or anemployee of the intelligencecommunity. Qualified service memberswho are eligible for the homebuyer tax credit now have untilApril 30, 2011, to sign a salescontract, and until June 30,

2011, to settle and close on thehome. Both the $8,000 first-time and $6,500 repeat homebuyer tax credits are includedin this rule. For married couples, only onespouse, not both, needs to bea qualified service memberwho served the requiredamount of extended duty out-side the United States. In many cases, the rule thatrequires buyers to repay thecredit if they move out of theirhome within three years hasalso been waived for servicemembers. If the home owner ortheir spouse receives govern-ment orders for qualified official

extended duty service andhave to sell their home, they donot have to pay back the credit.This applies even if they haveto sell in the same year theypurchased the home. The newplace of duty must be at least50 miles from the principal resi-dence being sold. The IRS also clarified that sol-diers and other service mem-bers who are wounded over-seas, or have to return to theUnited States for other medicalreasons, are not denied thecredit if their time spent over-seas ends up less than 90days. So often we hear of misguid-

ed government programs andwasteful spending; but here isa great example of our govern-ment doing something rightseeking to reward thoseAmericans who done so muchfor their country.For more information on thehome buyer tax credit, go to:www.FederalHousingTaxCredit.com.
