The Pros and Cons of Homeowner’s Associations

When you are considering buying real estate in a private community around the Acadiana and Lafayette areas, you may have to deal with a homeowners association. This group creates and enforces rules for the neighborhood and collects dues. There are both

pros and cons that come with this type of arrangement. You may want to weigh the pros and cons of homeowner’s associations before making a decision to buy within a certain neighborhood…

If you like to stand out from the crowd, do not like the idea of paying more than your monthly mortgage or wish to rent your home according to your own rules, you may wish to consider living somewhere else. However, if you crave numerous amenities and are unable to provide adequate maintenance to your home, living in a community with a homeowners association may be a great idea. For more information regarding all

types of available properties in the Acadiana and Lafayette areas, contact the experts at Coldwell Banker Pelican Real Estate. They can help you choose a house that best suits your individual needs.

Five Ways to ImplementUniversal Design in Your Home

By Mac Gibson, PresidentAcadian Home Builders Association

hether you’re raising a young family or beginning to enjoy an empty nest, the design of your home should meet your changing needs. Families looking to

customize their homes to fit their lifestyles, both now and in the future, can easily apply universal design techniques.

Universal design is the design of products and rooms to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible, without the need for changing or re-designing at a later point in time. Universal design enhances traditional design by adding features that offer comfort, convenience and ease of use.

Multigenerational families and first-time home owners alike will appreciate the often simple and inexpensive changes that make homes livable for all household members, regardless of age or ability. Homes with universal design are more user-friendly, require lower maintenance and complement an easy-living lifestyle.

Here are five ways to implement universal design in your home:

1. Widen your doorways and hallways to accommodate strollers or relatives who might use a wheelchair. This allows everyone and everything to move more easily in and out of the house, and from room to room. Experts recommend 36-inch wide doors and 42-inch wide halls and stairways.

2. Build a step-less porch entry that will increase access and convenience without compromising aesthetics.

3. Install non-slip surfaces on floors and bathtubs to help everyone stay sturdy on their feet.

4. Install handrails on steps and grab bars in bathrooms to provide more support for household members of all ages.

5. Use lever door handles. This easy-grip hardware allows family members and guests to more effortlessly

open and close doors. Plus, you can switch out your faucet and drawer handles with C-shape

or D-shape hardware for even greater ease of use.

Home building and remodeling professionals who have earned the Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS), Certified Graduate Remodeler (CGR) or Graduate Master Remodeler (GMR) designations have received training on how to build or renovate a home so that the occupants can live in the home safely, independently and comfortably, regardless of their age or ability level. They have been

taught the strategies and techniques for designing and building aesthetically

pleasing, barrier-free living environments. While most CAPS professionals are

remodelers, an increasing number are general contractors, designers, architects, and health care

professionals.

To learn more about universal design or to find a home building or remodeling professional in Acadiana, contact the Acadian Home Builders Association or visit www.ahbaonline.com.

DON’T OVERLOOK LOCAL BUILDING CODES

Q: HOW DO BUILDING CODES WORK?

A: Building codes are usually established by local governments to set minimum public-safety standards for building design, construction, quality, use, occupancy, location, and maintenance. There are also specialized codes for things such as plumbing, electrical, and fire. These specialized codes usually involve separate inspec-tions and specialized inspectors.

A building permit and a certificate of occupancy must be issued before a building can be used. Some local gov-ernments require that these permits and/or certificates be displayed in the building during construction and even after construction is complete.

During construction or remodeling, housing inspec-tors must make periodic checks at key points. Building codes are usually enforced a number of ways (i.e. denying permits, denying occupancy certificates, or by imposing a fine upon the owner).

In addition to new constructions, building codes also cover most major remodeling projects. So, if you are buying a house that was recently remodeled, you might want to ask for proof of the permits involved before you purchase it. That way, you can avoid future liability for any fines assessed against the owner during the remodeling process.

IS A FIXER UPPPER REALLY WORTH THE

HASSLE?

Q: I LOVE THE TELEVISION SHOW FIXER

UPPER. I AM INSPIRED TO START MY OWN COM-

PANY DOING WHAT THEY DO ON THE T.V. SHOW.

IS A “FIXER UPPER” REALLY WORTH THE MONEY

AND WORK?

A: A fixer upper is basically a house that has been

poorly maintained and has a lower market value than

other houses in the immediate area. Whether or not it is

a good investment depends on a few things.

Surprisingly, you can find fixer uppers in most neigh-

borhoods, even the wealthier ones. The hard part is

determining whether the property you are interested in

is a wise investment. First, you need to figure out what

an average house in the same neighborhood sells for.

You also need to get an idea of what the most desirable

houses in the area sell for and what they are like.

Some experts suggest that if it is your first time buy-

ing a fixer upper, you start with a home that only needs

cosmetic work (i.e. new paint, carpet, window coverings,

etc). Some fixer uppers require a lot more than cos-

metic work, and the necessary repairs can be too costly

to make the investment a wise one. You should avoid

run-down houses that need major structural repairs. A

house price that looks too good to be true probably is,

and a smart buyer will find out why the house is priced

so low before making an offer.

The basic strategy for a fixer upper is to find the least

desirable house and the most desirable neighborhood,

and then decide if the expenses needed to bring the

value of the fixer upper up to its full potential market

value are within your budget. If they are not, the fixer

upper is probably not a good investment, and you

should look elsewhere.
