Life and

HomesWelcome Home Gridlock in our village means three cars waiting at the stop sign. it's a mayberry kind of town which suits me just fine. There is a catch. every visit to the grocery store, post office or church requires a car. i guess that's what caught my eye when a came across the recent study conducted by the Center for neighborhood Technology. Their research revealed only two in five american communities are affordable to typical households when you factor in the cost of both housing and transportation. (is This House as affordable as You Think, pg 3). it's not a topic we hear a lot about but it's certainly something to take into consideration when crunching numbers and deciding the location of your next home purchase.

speaking of crunching numbers, we have some great ideas on how to save on spring home improvement projects in this issue and online at www.LifendHomes.com. You'll find diY projects and easy cost cuttings tips along with information on how to cash in on the remodeling tax credit which is available through the end of 2010.

Local real estate participants report an increase in market activity within the past few weeks. That's welcome news for any community. if you're putting your home on the market, take time to read this month's feature story, Home inspections Help You sell. Positioning your home to stand out in a crowded market can be as simple and inexpensive as decluttering, cleaning, completing simple renovations and repairs and ridding the lawn of last year's leaves and debris. stack the deck in your favor even further by investing in deal-sealer items like a pre-sale home inspection and professional staging.

LifeandHomes, LifeandHomes.com and our advertising sponsors stand ready to help as you buy or sell your home. it's our way of supporting the communities we live and work in. This issue and our online, all-inclusive listing service showcases local business services and features for sale listings from Realtors, investors, for sale By owners, Contractors, manufactured Home Builders, developers, and Commercial developers all in one convenient place.

is This House as affordable as You Think? A new analysis by the Center for Neighborhood Technology (CNT) shows that only two in five Ameri-can communities—or 39 percent—are affordable for typical house-holds when their transportation costs are considered along with housing costs.

The Housing + Transportation (H+Tsm) affordability index examines 337 metro areas across the country—encompassing 161,000 neighborhoods and 80 percent of the U.s. population—and provides the only comprehensive snapshot of neighborhood affordability by accounting for combined housing and transportation costs associated with a community.

for most families, transportation is the second largest household expense. The new analysis shows that for many families in “drive ‘til you qualify” zones, savings realized from lower cost housing are eliminated by unexpectedly high transportation costs. Yet, it is difficult for consumers and policymakers to estimate the full costs of a location, including the cost of both housing and of transportation. This lack of information can lead families to unknowingly make housing decisions that cause them to live beyond their means as gas prices rise and commutes grow longer. a community’s average transportation costs can range from 12% of household income in efficient neighborhoods with walkable streets, access to transit, and a wide variety of stores and services to 32% in locations where driving long distances is the only way to reach essential services.

To explore the H+T index or obtain a copy of Penny Wise, Pound fuelish visit: http://htaindex.cnt.org/.

Census Scam AlertHarrisburg Pa mayor Linda Thompson has already been the victim of a census scam. she received and filled out a census form a few weeks ago and didn't realize it was a fake form until her legitimate census form arrived shortly thereafter."You know, i was just eager to be a leader in the city that fills it out and didn't think that the census had said they don't ask for social security numbers and they even asked for my address and where i worked and my job title. so, there you have it -- buyer beware," says Thompson. she is now taking steps to prevent identity theft.

LifeandHomes reminds readers that The Census Bureau does not conduct the census via the internet and does not send out emails. The Census Bureau never asks for your full social security number, Pin numbers, passwords or access information for credit cards banks or financial accounts.

You may verify if a collection activity is legitimate by calling your regional census office regarding mail surveys, or call 301-763-info (4636) for general Census Bureau information

don't Let termites Put The Bite on Your HouseThe national Pest management association (nPma),reports termites cause more than $5 billion in property damage each year across the U.s.and damage from wood-boring insects is typically not covered by homeowners' insurance policies.

The best way to effectively treat an existing termite infestation is through professional pest control, but there are steps homeowners can take to help keep the pests from invading in the first place. for instance, simple things, such as keeping tree branches and shrubbery well trimmed and away from the house, can help.

The experts at the nPma also recommend these tips for controlling termites:

• seal cracks and holes on the outside of the home, including entry points for utilities and pipes.

• Keep basements, attics and crawl spaces well ventilated and dry.

• Repair leaking faucets, water pipes and aC units.

• Repair fasciae, soffits and rotted roof shingles. some termites are drawn to deteriorating wood.

• Replace weather stripping and repair loose mortar around basement foundation and windows.

• store firewood at least 20 feet away from the house and 5 inches off the ground.

• Routinely inspect the foundation of your home for signs of mud tubes (used by termites to reach a food source), cracked or bubbling paint, and wood that sounds hollow when tapped.

• direct water away from your house through properly functioning downspouts, gutters and splash blocks.

• visit www.pestworld.org to find a qualified pest professional for additional advice and treatment if necessary. (naPsi)

4 We bring people and homes together.

newsShortsno drip SavingsDrip. Drip. Drip. The average American household wastes more than 10,000 gallons each year from easy-to-fix water leaks, adding up to more than one trillion gallons of water lost annually nationwide. Many of these leaks have do-it-yourself fixes that could cost only a few dollars to address.

The U.s. environmental Protection agency's (ePa's) Water-sense program is encouraging homeowners to find and fix leaks to save more than 10 percent on utility bills now and help save water for future generations.

1. Find Leaks: Winter water use can be an indicator of household leaks. if use exceeds 12,000 gallons per month for a family of four, chances are good that you have a leak. Walk around your home with eyes and ears open to find leaks, and don't forget to check pipes. Reveal a silent toilet leak by adding a few drops of food coloring to the tank and wait 15 minutes without flushing. if bowl water changes color, your toilet has a leak. flush afterwards to avoid staining the bowl or tank.

2. Fix Leaks: many times, fixing leaks can be done yourself and doesn't have to cost a thing. Both faucets and showerhead connections can be tightened or sealed. for leaky toilets, the rubber flapper inside the tank is often the culprit. over time, the flapper decays, but replacing it only costs a few dollars. if you don't feel comfortable with these repairs, a licensed contractor can help. irrigation systems and outdoor spigots can also have leaks. a Watersense irrigation partner who is certified in water-efficient irrigation technologies and techniques can ensure your irrigation system works properly.

3. Save Water: dripping faucets can waste more than 3,000 gallons per year, a shower-head leaking 10 drips per minute about 500 gallons per year, and running toilets 200 gallons

or more each day. fixing household leaks not only saves water, but also energy and money on utility bills.

if you need to replace plumbing fixtures, save even more water by replacing them with Watersense-labeled models. Watersense labels toilets, faucets, urinals and--coming soon--showerheads that use at least 20 percent less water and are independently tested and certified to perform as well as or better than standard plumbing fixtures.

for more information and tips about how to save water, visit www.epa.gov/watersense. (naPsi)

federal Remodeling tax CreditThe tax credit for energy efficient replacement

windows and doors, originally introduced in 2009 as part of the american Recovery and Reinvestment act, is set to expire at the end of 2010, making this year the best time for homeowners to replace their windows and upgrade the look and feel of their home.

Ply Gem, a leader in the building products industry, offers some tips and guidelines to help homeowners make the most of the energy efficient replacement window tax credit.

Homeowners can receive a tax credit worth 30 percent of the purchase price of qualifying energy efficient windows, up to a maximum of $1,500 if purchased and installed by dec. 31, 2010.

To redeem the credit, be sure to save your invoice that shows a breakout of window and installation costs, the national fenestration Rating Council (nfRC) labels from all windows and doors and the manufacturer’s certificate.

energy efficient windows that meet the tax qualifications offer more savings than a one-time federal tax credit. The alliance to save energy says that sealing and insulating your house – including

utilizing energy efficient windows – is a great first step to take when improving your home’s energy efficiency. To learn more, visit www.plygemwin-dows.com or www.recovery.gov. (aRa)

When you're ready to sell your home in the current market, you need to take every step you can to ensure a timely sale at the price you want. a surplus of homes for sale means that yours needs to stand out in style, amenities and quality to make an impression on potential buyers. The more steps you take to make your house sale-ready, the better results you'll get.

Currently, home sales are at a historic low -- so what do you need to do to buck that trend? Updated decor and proper staging certainly help present your home well, but don't think that cosmetic fixes are all you need. Buyers want to know the home they're considering is safe and sound, and the best way to establish that is to hire a home inspector.

Twenty years ago, it seemed extravagant to hire a home inspector, but today it's standard practice. Buyers will often bring their own inspectors to the table, so you need to start by hiring one yourself. Hiring a professional will give you a realistic perspective on what's going on in the bones of your home.

"in a down market, a pre-sale inspection can make a home stand out," says david Tamny, president of the american society of Home inspectors. "more and more, sellers are obtaining pre-sale inspections to help uncover and address potential issues before the first prospective buyer walks through the door. This simple step allows for better planning and lowers repair costs, adds value to the home, and it could increase the likelihood of an offer."

even if someone in your family is handy, a professional home inspector will be able to point out issues that might go unnoticed by someone who doesn't know the ins and outs of inspecting. Today's buyers are quick to point out flaws uncovered by the home inspectors they bring with them, particularly if the flaws could compromise health or safety.

Buyers can use problems as bargaining chips, causing previously agreed upon prices to be lowered or even the cancellation of a deal. inspections help uncover imperfections that often can be fixed easily and inexpensively, so it's worth it to get your home inspected before you list it.

in addition, a good inspection can raise the likelihood of an offer being placed on your home. Buyers are looking for security. if you can show them

your home has been inspected, they'll feel more comfortable with it. That confidence often equates to more dollars in your pocket when you agree to the sale.

The areas covered in home inspections are: the major systems and components such as the foundation, exterior siding, flashing and trim, the roof, plumbing, electrical and heating and cooling units. in addition, some home inspectors offer additional services including radon testing, energy assessments and pool and spa inspections.

The current housing market requires a proactive approach to selling, and to get the result you want, you have to think about every aspect of your home. Having a home inspection can add value to the property, speed up the negotiation process, increase the likelihood of an offer and, most importantly, help sell your home. ( aRa)

mortgageCorner

When looking to remortgage, your aim is to switch to a deal that is more beneficial to you and saves you money/increases flexibility etc, whether this be sticking with your present lender or changing to another.

What are the Benefits Of Remortgaging?Remortgaging is a chance to switch from an inadequate mortgage and take full advantage of current products available such as fixed rate, tracker or discount mortgages which can offer you more competitive rates. Choosing the right deal for you is just as important when remortgaging as it was the very first time. Consideration should be given on your prediction of future interest rates, your own risk assessment, your income and the balance of the loan outstanding. You will also need to weigh up your monetary needs and present circumstance.

adverse Credit Remortgages also enables you to cut loose from a dissatisfactory lender as there is nothing to say you should stay with the same one.

doing either of these things when remortgaging may considerably reduce your monthly out goings. This is just one benefit of deciding to remortgage.

say for example you have a loan of 100,000 and are paying a rate of 7.5% interest; you then switch to another lender which has a rate of just 7% interest. This would mean you would be saving 31 each month, that's nearly 400 per annum.

sometimes money tied up in the house could be put to better use else where. for an amount larger than what is needed to repay your original mortgage, remortgaging can release some of this equity to put towards investing in a new business venture or maybe even another property.

How Long Will the Process take?The process of remortgaging tends to be faster than that of a normal mortgage (but slower than adverse credit loans) as in this case you're not buying a property. The whole process without considering individual circumstances should take on average six weeks.

the Cost Of a Remortgageas with your original mortgage, a survey to confirm the value of your property will need to be done as the first one will no longer be valid. add onto this solicitor fees and administrative costs, however these will be lower than mortgaging for the first time and depending on your lender, they may be

able to recommend certain people in association with them that could lower your costs.

There maybe early repayment charges on your existing mortgage. This is when there is a penalty if you redeem the mortgage within a fixed period of time after commencing. for example, this could be additional pay of three to six months or a percentage of the loan amount.

When looking at the cost of a remortgage you also have to look at the possible longer term benefits of the process and the money you could save.

Quick action Planif still indecisive on whether remortgaging could work for you, run through the following points:

Communicate with your existing lender and ask for a redemption statement. This indicates any penalties you will be charged in the event of remortgaging. it also states the amount still left to pay on your current mortgage. When looking at a remortgage deal be sure to look at all the small print and ask the lender to clearly show what your potential repayments would be. it

is always useful to ask for something in writing to use as a reference.

add up all costs payable with any new lender i.e., the arrangement and administrative fees. Legal fees should also be added on, these will vary depending on where you go and the value of your property.

armed with these facts and figures you should then weigh up whether remortgaging will benefit you and whether the long term savings will outweigh the immediate costs of remortgaging.

a very important retirement rule has changed in 2010. in the past, only persons with adjusted gross income below $100,000 could open a Roth iRa. However, in 2010, that income cap went away. and, as an additional incentive to consider a Roth iRa, the income taxes required for convert-ing an existing Traditional iRa or employer Plan (401(k), 403(b), etc) to a Roth iRa can be spread out over 2011 and 2012. no taxes would be due in 2010.

The Roth iRa differs from the Traditional iRa. With the Roth, monies grow tax-deferred and withdrawals are not subject to income taxes. You can contribute to a Roth iRa after age 70 ½ if you have earned income. There is no required minimum distribution (although beneficiaries will be subject to a minimum distri-bution). Contributions to a Roth iRa are not tax-deductible.

There are a number of factors to consider when deciding whether to convert to a Roth iRa: time frame until retire-ment, income taxes, benefits and investment options, to name a few. as with all key financial decisions which may impact your retirement, seeking advice from a qualified pro-fessional is advised.

Life Insurance = Sound Financial Strategy There are at least three very good reasons to include life in-

surance to your financial strategy:

Reason 1: Take today a group of 100 people at the age of

25. according to the social security administration (ssa

Publication no. 13-11871, april 2000) 16 of them al-

ready died when the group reaches the age of 65. The

number of people who needs to be supported by family

and charities at that age is 66.READ MORE (Read Complete Article at: www.lifeandhomes.com/cny. Click

the difficult Search for dividendsWhen shares tumble, investors often flee to dividend stocks

in order to benefit from streams of income, even as valua-

tions plunge.

But this time, there’s a glitch: it wasn’t just valuations that

got hammered in this downturn. The fourth quarter of 2008

was also the worst quarter for dividends since at least 1956,

when standard and Poor’s started keeping such records. READ MORE (Read Complete Article at: www.lifeandhomes.com/cny. Click
