Professionally SpeakingDear Community,

These questions will help youdecide whether you're ready fora home that's larger or in a moredesirable location. If you answeryes to most of the questions, it'sa sign that you may be ready tomove.1. Have you built substantial

equity in your current home?Look at your annual mortgagestatement or call your lender tofind out. Usually, you don'tbuild up much equity in the firstfew years of your mortgage, as monthlypayments are mostly interest, but if you'veowned your home for five or more years,you may have significant, unrealized gains.2. Has your income or financial situation

improved? If you're making more money,you may be able to afford higher mortgagepayments and cover the costs of moving.3. Have you outgrown your neighbor-

hood? The neighborhood you pick for yourfirst home might not be the same neighbor-hood you want to settle down in for good.For example, you may have realized thatyou'd like to be closer to your job or live ina better school district.4. Are there reasons why you can't re-

model or add on? Sometimesyou can create a bigger homeby adding a new room orbuilding up. But if your prop-erty isn't large enough, yourmunicipality doesn't allow it,or you're simply not interestedin remodeling, then moving toa bigger home may be yourbest option be careful not toover improve to create a tooexpensive home in your neigh-borhood.

5. Are you comfortable moving in thecurrent housing market? If your market ishot, your home may sell quickly and fortop dollar, but the home you buy also willbe more expensive. If our market is slow,finding a buyer may take longer, but you'llhave more selection and better pricing asyou seek your new home.6. Are interest rates attractive? A low rate

not only helps you buy a larger home, butalso makes it easier to find a buyer.

The housing industryis gearing up for thesurge of boomers whoturn 55 every year. Inthe coming years, mil-lions of Americans willcross this dubiousthreshold and officiallybecome classified asseniors, at least fromthe perspective of mostdemographers. Tohome builders, theseboomers are known bythe friendlier term, ac-tive adults, and repre-sent the fastest growingsegment of the housingmarket.It is not only homebuilders who are anx-iously anticipating theaging of the babyboomer generation,however; so are manyremodelers. These re-modelers are puttingout the welcome matfor all the new businessthat will soon be com-ing their way in droves.Why? Because, justlike their parents,

growing older will notmake most boomersbudge from theirhomes. Research shows astrong preference byAmericans to remain intheir current residencefor as long as possibleas they grow older.This translates into aneed to remodel oradapt their homes tomeet their changingabilities and circum-stances. Today, thisphenomenon is popu-larly referred to asaging-in-place. In gen-eral, it is defined as liv-ing in one’s homesafely, comfortably andindependently, regard-less of age, income orlevel of mobility.Older Americanshave always been theleast inclined to move,compared to homeowners of any otherage group. What has

changed is the magni-tude of those who arenow, or soon will be,facing the agonizingdecision to move orstay put. The National Associ-ation of Home Builders(NAHB) found in a re-cent survey that morethan 50 percent ofthose age 55 or olderhave lived in theirhomes longer than 10years. Many of thesehome owners are reluc-tant to pack up andleave family andfriends behind. Theyresist severing emo-tional attachments totheir home and neigh-borhood or adjusting tonew surroundings. Al-though, by and large,boomers are better offfinancially than theirparents were at thesame age, others planto stick-it-out wherethey presently live be-cause of financial con-cerns and limitationsimposed by living onfixed incomes. It isthese boomers who aredriving the aging-in-place market and who

regard remodeling asthe answer to how theycan live convenientlyand safely in the homeand community wherethey feel most comfort-able.Very simply, “gettingaround” is the key tomaking a house com-patible to the needs ofthe aging-in-place oc-cupant. Most fre-quently, older homeowners report problemsclimbing up and downstairs or difficultywalking or standing.Also common areproblems due to im-paired mobility whenreaching for lightswitches, faucets, door-knobs or cabinets. Andfor those who are stillrelatively mobile andagile, the necessarymodifications might re-quire reducing the pos-sibility of accidents byproviding more light inhigh-accident areassuch as kitchens, bath-rooms and stairways;adding railings or grabbars to prevent falls; orchanging floor cover-ings to add traction and

eliminate slippery sur-faces.Remodelers reportthat the most commonprojects for their 65-plus clients are makingmore accessible ac-commodations, in-stalling brighterlighting, wideningdoors and hallways,and installing ease-of-reach and bend sys-tems. As can beexpected, much of thiswork focuses on bath-rooms, kitchens andentryways, althoughmany are smaller proj-ects or what the indus-try refers to ashandyman jobs.To address the uniquedemands of the bur-geoning aging-in-placemarket, NAHB Re-modelers developed theCertified Aging-in-Place Specialists(CAPS) program. Thisdesignation programequips remodelers withthe marketing, techni-cal and customer serv-ice skills required tohelp home owners, re-gardless of age, main-tain their independence

and increase security inthe homes theypresently occupy.NAHB Remodelers, incollaboration with theNAHB Research Cen-ter, NAHB SeniorsHousing Council andAARP, developed theCAPS program.The baby boom gen-eration has earned itsreputation for makingwaves, as it has passedthrough each stage oflife, based on shearnumbers and their per-sistent demands forhaving it their way.Now that boomers areentering the stage oflife when age imposesits own demands, theirclout will still prevailin the housing marketas remodelers andbuilders race to keepup with the boomers’expectations of whereand how they want tolive.

(ARA) - Did youknow we spend asmuch as 90 percent ofour lives indoors andthat indoor pollutantlevels are often two tofive times higher thanoutdoors? Using theprinciples of green de-sign will significantlyimprove your home'sindoor environment,leading to better healthand well-being foryour family.Simple changesmake a big difference."Many principles ofsustainable design andgreen building can be

easily incorporatedinto your existinghome without exten-sive remodeling," saysLilia Gomez-Lanier,interior design facultyat The Art Institute ofAtlanta - Decatur, abranch of The Art In-stitute of Atlanta. Plus,such improvementscan save you money.Here's how.

WATER CONSERVATION"Efficient use ofwater has become anational as well as aregional concern,"says Robert Brown,

interior design facultyat The Art Institute ofTennessee - Nashville,a branch of The ArtInstitute of Atlanta.When replacing appli-ances or fixtures, lookfor those that use lesswater, such as low-flow faucets andshower heads, dual-flush toilets, front-loading washingmachines and newermodels of dishwasherswith two drawers, soyou can run smallloads. Using lesswater can add up tobig savings on your

water bills.AIR QUALITY

With many Ameri-cans suffering fromasthma and allergies,indoor air quality ismore important thanever. Household pollu-tants like mold, radon,carbon monoxide andtoxic chemicals frombuilding materials,household cleanersand pesticides can behealth risks. Start byreducing dust and im-proving ventilation.Clean furniture, floorsand carpet regularly.Consider cleaning and

sealing heating, venti-lation and air condi-tioning (HVAC)systems. Ensure thatrange hoods, bathroomfans and gas fireplacesvent to the outdoors.Eliminate sources ofasbestos and lead, andeliminate or properlystore air fresheners,pesticides, certaincleaning products andpaint, which can emitpollutants. When youredecorate or renovate,look for low- or no-VOC (volatile organiccompound) paints,stains, adhesives, car-pets and hard surfaceflooring, as well aswood and bambooproducts manufacturedwithout formaldehyde.

ENERGY CONSERVATION"Energy efficient ap-pliances save youmoney in your electri-cal bill, and there maybe tax incentives forswitching to more effi-cient systems," saysLeslie Roberts, inte-rior design faculty atThe Art Institute ofCharleston, a branchof The Art Institute ofAtlanta. She recom-mends using a heatpump and a program-mable thermostat,adding insulation inwalls, ceiling andfloor, and insulatingwindows, windowtreatments and floorcoverings. Gomez-Lanier adds, "Intro-duce an attic fan andceiling fans to circu-late air and cool thehouse with less en-ergy. Use heavydraperies to eliminatea lot of direct light andheat." And don't forgetenergy-efficient lightbulbs.

RENEWABLE RESOURCES

When remodeling orredecorating yourhome, reuse existingfurniture and buildingmaterials where possi-ble. Used furniture -either your own or

items purchased at agarage sale or second-hand store - can oftenbe reupholstered andrefinished to look new.At architectural sal-vage stores you canpurchase doors, win-dows, hardwood floorplanks and more.When using new mate-rials, Roberts says,"Choose materials thatare produced fromrapidly renewable re-sources, such as woolrugs, bamboo or corktile flooring." Thoughthese products some-times cost more, theygenerally last longerand are a better invest-ment over time. Pur-chasing materials withrecycled-content isalso an environmen-tally sound choice,helping ensure that re-cycled materials willbe used again to man-ufacture new products.You can easily findconstruction materialswith recycled content,including drywall, in-sulation, plastic lum-ber, kitchencountertops, glasstiles, carpet andpadding - even steel.HELP IN MAKINGGREEN CHOICESIN YOUR HOMEA Leadership in En-ergy and Environmen-tal Design(LEED)-accredited in-terior designer canhelp you make soundenvironmental choicesfor your home andprevent expensivemistakes.
