Av a l a n c h eof Buds in Bloom

Winter marks the appropriate time to buy affordable bulbs to display in the homeNetherlands Flower Bulb Co.

Winter winds carry more than ice and snow,they bring a blizzard of colorful spring flow-ers. For winter is the season when shops andsupermarket floral departments are laden withthe widest selection of fun, affordable bulbflowers in pots.

These winter wonders are largely springbulbs such as tulips, daffodils and hyacinthsthat have been brought into flower early bynursery growers using an age-old processcalled forcing. Forced bulbs might moreaccurately be called fooled bulbs, as the grow-ers use a combination of cooling and lighttreatments to trick the bulbs into floweringe a r l y.

The happy results of this deceptive behaviorare stocks of colorful flowers ready to bescooped up and taken home to brighten win-ter days. Normally sold in modest plastic pots,forced bulbs lend themselves to a variety ofcreative decorating ideas. At home, they canbe featured “as is” or repotted into new con-tainers. Another option is double-potting inwhich the plastic pot is slipped inside a sec-ond, slightly larger and prettier pot called acachepot (from the French word for hiddenpot).

No matter how you choose to display forcedbulb flowers, following some simple tips willheighten enjoyment of these colorful, mid-winter bloomers.

Buy Green and Watch Them GrowFor longest enjoyment, choose potted

plants with tight buds or barely open flowers,not those in full bloom. In these plants, theflower is fully formed and ready to burst forthfor your enjoyment. In winter, it’s just asmuch fun to watch the green plants grow as itis to watch the velvety flowers bloom.

Dress Down or UpPotted bulbs are great displayed casually in

their plastic nursery pots or wrapped in deco-rative foil. Or, they can easily go upscaledolled up in myriad ways by using more deco-rative containers, repotting or using the dou-ble pot cachepot technique.

• To repot: Select a container that has adrainage hole at the bottom (later, place aplate or saucer below the pot to protect tabletops from moisture). Transplant the bulbs bygently removing the plants, soil and all, fromtheir nursery pot. Then simply replant intothe new pot. For a more dramatic display, con-sider bringing home several inexpensive potsof flowers to combine by repotting into onelarger container. Combining pots is a fun, easyway to creatively “g a rd e n ” indoors in the mid-dle of winter.

• To double pot with a cachepot: Select adecorative container that’s large enough tohold the existing plant, pot and all. In thiscase the inner nursery pot provides drainage,the outer pot is for show. You can evenuse this technique in porous containerssuch as baskets, but you might want to adda plastic tray at the bottom to catch any leaks.

So Easy, So ColorfulWater potted bulbs as needed, keeping the

soil moist but not soggy. To enjoy maximumbloom time, avoid placing blooming plants indirect sunlight, in drafty spots or next tosources of heat.

Minimize bathroom clutter with these simple tipsArticle Resource Association

While bathrooms are some of thesmallest rooms in the house, they tendto be the areas where a lot of personalitems are stored. Typical bathroom sinkcounters and shelves are crammed fullof cosmetics, medications, hair-stylingitems and dental care tools, lookingcluttered and messy and making it diffi-cult to clean them.

“Research shows that many home-owners don’t like clutter in the bath-room and seek storage at their finger-tips,” says Steve Bissell, president ofRobern, a Kohler company and leader inbath storage solutions.

For an innovative storage option,Robern has designed a new mirroredcabinet for people who want storagealong with the aesthetics of a seamlessm i r ro r.

The Uplift cabinet isn’t like the stan-dard medicine cabinet over the vanitythat opens out and may block your ac-cess to the sink. The seamless mirrorlifts upward, with a position-hold fea-ture allowing it to stay partly open whileyou access everything inside. It is deepenough to safely contain medicine bot-tles, toiletries and a small radio and hasan optional mount for an LCD TV. Inte-rior lights and outlets for up to six elec-tronic devices make the Uplift cabinetperfect for bathroom storage so you canhave all those items you need at your

fingertips. And, they aren’t clutteringthe countertop anymore.

If you need additional storage spacein the bathroom, try rolling shelves orpull-out baskets that can hide in thecabinets under the sink. You can includeone basket for each family member and,since they pull out, you don’t have tocrawl on the floor to reach a bottle wayin the back of a cabinet.

If you don’t have cabinets under your

sink, there are many options for creativestorage including bins and baskets tohold items like extra toilet paper, per-fumes and colognes or hair-styling ac-cessories. Depending on how tightspace is, you can put a cabinet above thetoilet, or find a stand-up container to fitbetween the toilet and the vanity. An-other option is to find containers thatwork well on top of the vanity, allowingyou to keep items within close reach.

In the shower, don’t trip on loose bot-tles of shampoo, conditioner and soap.Find an organizer that fits over theshower head or attaches to the showerwall with suction cups so you can getthose items off the sides of the bath orthe floor. If you have more than oneperson using the shower, consider get-ting each family member a separate or-g a n i z e r.

To keep your outlets uncluttered,make your nightlight part of the vanitymirror. The Uplift cabinet has an interi-or light to illuminate items stored insideand an optional nightlight along thehandle that allows you to see wellenough to move about the bathrooms a f e l y.

“Sometimes the most inspired ideasare the simplest,” Bissell says. “Whowouldn’t want to walk into his or herbathroom at night and find a softlyglowing cabinet that allows them tonavigate easily?“

To provide the best task lighting foryour mirror, place lights to the side ofthe face to avoid shadows, and keep thelights less than 40 inches apart to createthe ideal illumination. The Uplift Pen-dant lights hang from the ceiling direct-ly in front of the mirror for a unique andstriking look that provides ideal, evenlighting.

Make working at home a breeze with a fully furnished home officeBy Rosemary Sadez Friedmann

Scripps Howard News Service

Raise your hand if you work fromhome. Aha! I knew it. There are many ofyou. Let me see – one, two, three, 25million, give or take. In order to be suc-cessful, you should have a well-orga-nized, well-designed home office. Solet’s get started.

Pick the room that will become theoffice. The guest bedroom is usually agood choice. Furnishings should beminimal and functional. The deskshould be big enough to get work done

and so you won’t have constant clutteron it because of lack of space. If neces-sary, and if space permits, get a deskthat wraps around so you have plenty ofsurface area to spread your work out. Adesk and separate credenza works justas well.

With all-in-one printers so affordablenow, be sure to invest in one. And getone that has all the bells and whistles,because you will find that more optionsare not only convenient, but can alsolead to enhanced creativity. As for com-puters, most people these days are opt-

ing for laptop computers for portability.The seat behind the desk should be

comfortable and fit you perfectly; other-wise, stress and fatigue can set in. Mostdesk chairs are ergonomically sound,but sit in a few first to be sure you getthe one that works best for you. Somemight be too big or small for your size,so try them out before you buy.

The bedroom closet can be easily con-verted into a storage area for files andsupplies by visiting a closet companyand having it design one that custom-fits your needs.

And now for the decor. Pick a theme.Make sure it is something uniquelyyours so you feel at home in your office.The more comfortable it feels, the betteryou’ll be able to work. Carry that themethroughout the room with wall colors orwallpaper, artwork, carpet and furniturecolor. Don’t get too busy and don’toverdecorate, because you don’t want tomake the space feel crowded or messy.

Now it’s time to get to work.

Take time for a post-snow garden checkup

Carol O’Meara

Colorado StateUniversity Extension

The recent snowfall was a wel-come end to the year, and if youspent any time shoveling, you’llknow that this fluffy stuff washeavy with water. The moisture iswelcome, trickling into soil thatsoftened under the insulatingsnow. Water during winter keepstree and shrub roots healthy, help-ing the plant survive mid-summerheat.

But storms like the ones thatcame in December leave side ef-fects gardeners should be alert for,such as broken branches, light andair starved lawns, or trees with gir-dled trunks. Now that the ibupro-fen has done its job and we can ap-preciate the slowly receding white-ness, take time for a post-snowcheckup on the landscape to pre-vent disease and larger gardenp ro b l e m s .

• Prune off broken or crackedbranches in shrubs and trees.Where the bark is shredded fromthe tear, surgically remove thedangling bits with a sharp knife.There is no need for wound paint,sealants or Elmer’s glue; woodyplants will seal the wound them-

selves.

• Branches larger than 2 inchesin diameter should be removed insections or their weight can causemore tearing of the bark. Makeyour first cut 12 inches outwardfrom where you want the finalprune to be, sawing upward fromthe underside through one-thirdof the branch. Then saw down-ward through the branch 1 inchoutward from the undercut. Atthe point of no return, branchweight will snap the limb, but theundercut will stop the bark fromtearing. Make your last cut justoutside the branch collar, the spotwhere branch and trunk join.Branches larger than 4 inches indiameter should be removed by anarborist.

• Check junipers soon for signsof cracked and broken branches.After heavy snow like this, manylook like they have cowlicks;prune off any broken branches toprevent disease. With junipers,pruning takes a little thought andart to regain form. If possible, snipbranches to just in front of a grow-ing side shoot.

• Voles foraging for food stripbark from young tree trunks, tun-neling under the snow to stay safefrom predators. Two of thesesmall, mouse-like creatures, theMeadow vole (Microtus pennsyl-vanicus) and Prairie vole (M i c ro t u so c h ro g a s t e r ), are common alongthe Front Range. Junipers, appleand pear, or other thin-barkedtrees are most at risk. Voles girdlethe trunk and often kill branchesor the entire plant.

Pull snow drifts away from treetrunks, leaving it piled up underthe drip line (outer tips of branch-es) of the plant to melt into thesoil.

• Broken rose canes should belightly pruned back to just past thedamage. Winter is not done withus yet; freezing temperatures maystill kill back canes previouslyblanketed by insulating snow.Leave as much of the rose as possi-ble now, saving the final pruningfor spring when the canes greenup.

• We might see Pink Snow Mold(Microdochium nivale), particularlyin the areas where snow lingered

on the lawn. Once the ground issoggy and soft, alternating weatherof thaw and snow cover (or frost)aggravates this disease. Most turfgrass is susceptible, particularlythose with heavy thatch.

Pink Snow Mold appears as wa-ter-soaked spots, rapidly growingto a foot or more in diameter. Withthe pinkish border of fungalgrowth along the outside edge, thisdisease leaves lawns with a festivetie-dyed appearance. The spots of-ten have a frog-eye center of green,turning reddish brown to tan.

The disease will subside onceturf dries out under warm sunnyweather. Lightly raking the spot tolift grass blades for faster dryinghelps, but don’t rake into healthygrass, since this disease is easilyspread by contaminated tools.Overseeding affected spots willspeed recovery of the area.

Add value, living space with a basementArticle Resource Association

Economists predict the worstof the recession is over, but thehousing market still has a wayto go to complete recovery. Itpays to think positively and im-prove your home, both to boostits value as the market recovers,and to enhance its livability foryour family now.

Improving your home is usu-ally a good investment, as longas you focus on improvementsthat offer high return on yourdollar. Renovated kitchens andbaths increase a home’s value,as does a great deck or patio.Finishing the basement re-mains a good way to improvevalue and livability while alsoexpanding square footage.Think of it as double the returnon investment – not only areyou creating an appealing spacein your home, you’re actually

making the home bigger for po-tential buyers who want maxi-mum living space.

Finishing a basement is a fa-vorite technique of home flip-pers – investors who purchasedistressed properties for a lowprice, renovate them and sellfor a profit. While flipping maynot be in your future, you canstill borrow a page from theflipper’s handbook and finishyour basement to improve yourhome’s value.

One hit home improvementTV show bought a home inHamden, Conn., to flip. The1,200 square foot Cape Cod-style home, built in 1950 hadfallen into major disrepair.While extensive interior andexterior renovations could givethe home curb appeal and en-tice buyers, the flippers knewthat finishing the basementwould be a fast, cost-effective

way to add living space andsquare footage in a neighbor-hood where they were compet-ing with homes that offeredmore updates.

Many unfinished basementsare dark, damp and don’t pro-vide homeowners any enjoy-ment of the space other thanuse for storage. The flippersused the Owens Corning Base-ment Finishing System toquickly finish this basement,giving it a new life with lightand usable space. Where nor-mal drywall construction couldhave taken several weeks andblown the flippers’ re n o v a t i o nschedule, using the BasementFinishing System allowed themto finish the basement in justtwo weeks.

The renovation added 500square feet of finished livingspace to the small home, andensured potential buyers found

a bright, inviting space whenthey toured during the openhouse. Finishing a basement isalso a great way to improve thehealthfulness of a home. Adark, damp basement thatcould have been a breedingground for mold and mildewassociated with respiratory dis-orders instead became a dry,bright and tidy showpiece areaof the home.

While you might not have

your own full-time constructioncrew like a home flipper, or thespotlight of a national TV show,when it comes to finishing abasement you don’t need to.Professional installers can finisha basement in about two weeksusing the Owens Corning Base-ment Finishing System. The sys-tem features built-in thermaland acoustic benefits, and thewalls are durable, resisting dentsand stains.

Dear Helaine and Joe: I amsending pictures of a Kewpie dollthat I have had for some years.About 3 inches high, he is madeof bisque porcelain. I have notbeen able to find out anythingabout him and would like yourassessment. He has a chip on theback of his head – I have en-closed a photo of that, too.Thank you. – A.D., DuBois, Pa.

Dear A.D.: The beloved characterwith the impish topknot and thesmall blue wings sprang from themind of illustrator Rose O’Neill.The name is derived from Cupid,the Roman god of beauty and non-platonic love. It is reported thatO’Neill based the image on draw-ings of her little brother that shemade when she was a child herself.

According to O’Neill, “Cupidgets you into trouble, and the Kew-pies get you out.” Kewpies weresupposed to embody O’Neill’s phi-losophy of “Do good deeds in afunny way. The world needs tolaugh or at least smile more than itdoes.”

Most sources say that Kewpiesfirst appeared in the Ladies’ HomeJournal in 1909. The Kewpies werean instant success, and before long,merchandising began to spring uparound them. At first, there werepaper dolls that could be cut out ofthe magazine. But O’Neill kept get-ting requests for a doll that chil-dren could hold, so one was sculpt-ed as a model and the J.D. Kestner

Co. of Waltershausen,Germany, began pro-ducing them in bisqueporcelain in 1913.

Other German com-panies made all-bisqueKewpies, but they canalso be found withbisque heads and com-position bodies.Bisque, incidentally, isunglazed porcelainthat has been fired on-ly once, which leavesthe surface with a sortof grainy texture thatsome say feels a bit likehuman skin (yes, somepeople find that to bec re e p y ) .

Over the years, Kew-pies have been made incelluloid, composition,hard plastic and vinyl.Most of the Kewpie fig-ures are standing withtheir legs together, arms jointed,their eyes to the side — and nakedas a proverbial blue jay. However, aclass of Kewpies, called ActionKewpies, depicts the character do-ing various things.

There is a Kewpie “t h i n k e r, ” afireman, farmer, governor, mayorand soldier. There is a Kewpie witha cat, one with a character calledDoodle Dog (valuable), one at a teatable and one in a bisque swing (al-so valuable), among many others.

The example in question is calledKewpie “traveler” and shows thecharacter, which should be 31/2inches tall, carrying a valise-stylesuitcase and an umbrella. These are

beyond charming, and in perfectcondition, they have an insurance-replacement value in the $300 to$400 range.

Unfortunately, the damage onthis piece may seem small and eventrifling, but to a collector, it is a se-rious defect that will decrease thevalue significantly. In the photo-graph, it appears that this can beeasily repaired, but still, the valuehas probably dropped by half, orperhaps even a bit more.

Local real estate agent and community advo-cate, Jim Green of Wright Kingdom, announcedthe creation of a new information Web site forLongmont-area homeowners in distress.

a real estate agent. Thesepeople didn’t know the op-tions available, or evenhow to find any informa-tion on their situation. Iwant more for the peopleof Longmont, and morecomes with making in-formed decisions.”

The Web site is a hubfor information on the is-sues for struggling home-

owners, putting all the necessary information inone, easy-to-use location. The information andmaterials located on the site are regularly updat-ed to reflect market changes, trends, new lenderrequirements and industry updates.

Limit winter wear on your homeArticle Resource Association

No matter what part of the countryyou live in, the winter months can bedownright abusive on your home. Fromfrozen Minnesotans dropping heaps ofwater-logged clothing on the floor afterdigging out of 5 feet of snow, to tannedFloridians grinding gritty sand intotheir carpeting, every home takes a beat-ing in the winter.

As harsh as we can be on our mostexpensive investment, a variety of easyand inexpensive precautions can greatlydiminish the amount of winter wear andtear imposed on our homes.

A Foot in the DoorIt all starts at the doorway. For north-

erners, winter means traipsing in andout of the house with mud, salt andsnow on your shoes. Being bundled upcarrying groceries many times meansyou nudge the door open with thosemuddy boots, leaving scratched paintand stains on perhaps the most visiblepart of your home. A simple solution tothis is investing in a durable kickplate.

Kickplates are available in a variety ofsizes, finishes and quality. Choose

something that complements the door’shardware (doorknob and knocker) andwill be an appropriate size.

Baseboards that say “Bring it On”Baseboards are often overlooked until

they are so dirty and worn that theystand out like a sore thumb. By design,baseboards are meant to preserve thelower portion of walls and withstandnormal bumps and scuffs. However,choosing an appropriate paint for thesebaseboards can make all the differencewhen it comes to durability.

Paints designed especially for heavytraffic and easy cleaning are best forbaseboards. Look for interior latexpaints infused with stain resistant mate-rials.

Clean CarpetsTile, laminate and wood flooring are

incredibly easy to clean because they arenot extremely porous. Carpet, on theother hand, is designed to be lush,meaning there are ample nooks, cran-nies and spaces for dirt and grime.

Investing in a stain-resistant carpetcleaner that repels substances from en-tering your carpet will maintain your

carpet. Keeping spot carpet cleanerswhen minor spills occur is essential.

Slip and SlideEven though your house may have

tile, laminate or wood floors, trackingoutdoor substances such as muddy wa-

ter or slush on them can add wear andtear, especially during the holiday sea-son.

Simple carpet runners can help pre-vent these unsightly and potentiallydangerous issues.

If you tried to sell your home in 2009, you prob-ably didn’t have a lot of luck.

Home sellers are seeing their properties languishon the market, in some cases for years. It is begin-ning to seem normal to see properties that havebeen listed for more than 360 days.

As we look forward to the new year, the newsisn’t going to look a lot better for home sellers. Un-employment is extremely high and companies arestill laying off workers in many areas.Where unemployment is high, foreclo-sures are spiking.

Speaking of foreclosures, the numberof homes receiving a foreclosure noticehit an all-time high in 2009, but thenumber is expected to rise further in2010 (perhaps as high as 4 million).

While the number of homes on themarket (known as the housing invento-ry) has shrunk a bit, there is a shadowinventory of as many as 2.5 millionhomes that haven’t even been listed.This includes properties where home-owners are delinquent on their mortgage and bank-owned properties (also known as REO properties).

The only pieces of good news: mortgage interestrates hit a 50-year low twice in 2009, falling all theway to 4.71 for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage and4.25 percent for a 15-year loan; and the federal gov-ernment offered the $8,000 first-time homebuyertax credit and in November introduced the $6,500trade-up tax credit.

Unfortunately, home sellers are going to findtougher conditions all around next year, as the taxcredits end, mortgage interest rates rise and thenumber of foreclosures increases.

More economists and industry observers are say-ing that the housing industry will make an ex-tremely slow recovery due to the lack of jobs andthe tightening of credit.

Still, if you have to sell in 2010, keep the follow-ing New Year’s resolutions in mind.

Overcome Objections a Buyer Would HaveSellers don’t often understand that their primary

job is not only to eliminate any potential objectionsthat would stand in the way for a buyer to make anoffer, but to exceed their expectations, as well. Ifyour home is competitively priced, and yourhome’s condition exceeds a buyer’s expectations,you’ll get an offer, even if it isn’t the offer you want.

Get Your Home into Selling ShapeCleaning your home is a must. After that, you

should consider hiring a stager to give it the televi-sion-worthy polish so many buyers expect today.Assess what other sorts of work needs to be done,such as fixing things that don’t work, touching uppaint, or cleaning or replacing your carpets.

Decide if you need to update your landscaping,and paint, clean or tuckpoint your home’s exterior.

Invite at Least Three AgentsOften, sellers simply call the agent who sold

them their home to list it. While you may wind uphiring that person, you’ll be doing yourself a favorif you invite a couple of other agents in from differ-

ent firms. That’s because each will bring differentideas to the table about how much your house isworth and what kind of marketing plan will work.

Understand What it Will Take to Sell Your HomeIf you live in an area littered with foreclosures,

you may have to meet that price point in order tosell. Is it worth it? Probably not, but you’ll have toevaluate price and timing in order to get the mostfor your property.

Be Realistic About the MarketFind out what is selling, and what the

average number of days on the market isfor homes that are selling. Accept the re-ality of your local market and make sureyou price your home realistically. Don’tblame your broker if you don’t get threeoffers above your list price within 24hours of putting your home on the mar-ket. Sellers who set sky-high pricescould wait months for an offer and maywind up with the same price they would

have had if they’d priced their home correctly thefirst time – or a lot less. In this real estate market,one of the worst things you can do is overpriceyour home from the onset. If you price it belowwhere it should sell, you may start a bidding warand will sell your home faster and for more money.

Know Where You’re GoingI don’t recommend putting in an offer on another

house until you have some serious interest in yourcurrent property. It’s fine to start researching otherneighborhoods, but if you’re not sure what youwant to do, consider renting on a short-term ormonth-to-month lease. These days, landlords arehurting and they may be perfectly happy to accepta six-month lease.

Read All Documents Thoroughly Before SigningWhy would people sign legal documents they

haven’t read? I’m not sure, but home sellers do itevery day. If you’re going to sell (or buy) in thecoming year, promise yourself that you’ll take thetime to read and understand the listing contract, of-fer to purchase and loan documents. (If you’re tak-ing back a loan for the homebuyer, have an attor-ney prepare the documents so you are sure to beprotected.) Unless you’ve got cash to spare, a mis-take in these documents and the warranties theycontain could seriously affect your finances.

Do Not Be Driven By GreedOne big mistake many sellers make is to get a lit-

tle greedy, particularly if the first offer is above theminimum acceptable price. Then the negotiationbecomes a game of how much they can get.

Remember, a successful sale means everyonewalks away feeling happy. If you get so greedy thatthe buyer walks away, you’ve let the deal get thebest of you. You should also know that there arefewer buyers out there, and if you lose a buyer itmight take you a long time to find another one.

Even in the midst of economic turbulence, it is impor-tant to continue to invest in your home as an asset. Nowmore than ever, improvements should go beyond addingaesthetics and provide return on investment (ROI).

One home improvement that provides ROI in any cli-mate is awnings. Awnings, both aesthetically appealingand functional, can provide savings on home cooling costsby reducing heat gain, and therefore the load on air condi-tioners. In most homes, more cooling energy is lostthrough glass doors and windows than any other part ofthe house. No one wants to see their dollars flying out thewindow in the form of energy costs.

Awnings always a wise choice

Installingyour way to

shower powerBy Ed Del Grande

H G T V Pr o . c o m

Along with a new showerhead, you’ll needan adjustable wrench, two pairs of slip jointpliers, Teflon tape and electrical tape.

Wrap a small amount of electrical tapearound the teeth of the slip joint pliers to helpprevent scratching of the chrome shower-armpipe coming out of the wall. Keep the chromeshower-arm pipe from spinning by supportingit with the slip joint pliers. Yo u ’ll be removingthe showerhead from the chrome shower-arm pipe by turning it counterclockwise withthe adjustable wrench. Size and place theadjustable wrench in the flat slot of theshowerhead threaded fitting. If there is no sloton your present showerhead fitting, use thesecond pair of slip joint pliers to remove theshowerhead threaded fitting. With a good,strong grip on both wrenches, slowly turn theold showerhead counterclockwise whileholding the chrome shower-arm pipe firmly inplace. Keep turning the showerhead fitting byresetting the wrench when necessary. Oncethe showerhead is loose enough to turn by

hand, set the tools aside and finish theremoval by hand.

Installing the new showerhead is eveneasier. Make sure the chrome shower-armthreads are clean and apply a few turns ofTeflon tape to the threads of the arm,following the direction of the threads; thisshould be clockwise. Now prep your newshowerhead according to the manufacturer’sinstructions. This may include insertingwashers or filter screens needed forinstallation. With a good hold on theshowerhead, start turning the head’s threadedfitting, clockwise as well, onto the chromeshower-arm threads by hand. Once snug,place the pliers back on to the shower-armpipe to hold it in place. Now continue totighten the new showerhead fitting with theadjustable wrench. Once the head fitting istightened, remove any excess strands ofTeflon tape and polish the chrome arm.

Many homesellers are losingmoney ... precise-ly because they’redetermined notto lose money. Sowhy won’t yourhome sell?

One reason homes arelanguishing on the mar-ket is because owners aresuffering from “sunk costf a l l a c y, ” observes OhioState Universityeconomist John Kagel.

A condition recognizednot by physicians, butrather by behavioral fi-nance experts, this fallacydescribes the reluctancepeople have to selling forless than they’ve paid orput into a home, evenwhen hanging on, waitingfor the right price, will ul-timately prove costly.

It can be hard to shakethis faulty logic, evenwhen homeowners’ in-come has dropped precip-itously or they’re livingoff a limited amount ofmoney, like a severancepackage, says financialplanner William Suplee ofStructured Asset Manage-ment, in Paoli, Pa.

Here are three ques-tions to determinewhether you could benefitby losing money on ahome sale.

1. Will you slash yourhousing costs with amove?

Owners under financialpressure who could findrelief on their monthlycash flow by moving to alower-cost home that theyeither buy or rent are theones grappling with thesunk cost fallacy.

Suplee tries to helpowners get a clear view of

their best option bypreparing spreadsheetsthat lay out the costs ofdifferent living arrange-ments.

Don’t forget all the an-cillary expenses, likecommuting costs, that goalong with a particularhousing choice, adds Lex-ington, Ky., financialplanner D. Scott Neal.

Laying out the annualcosts of staying in a homethat cost his client$800,000 several yearsago was the only way toconvince her that shewould soon deplete hersavings if she stayed put,says Rapid City, S.D., fi-nancial planner RickK a h l e r.

Even though she’dprobably sell for about$300,000 less than shepaid, the monthly outlaywas unsustainable, Kahlersays. The pain of loss issoftened, somewhat, headds, because she can buya home that is also valuedless than it was severalyears ago. And, the re-cently passed tax credit ofup to $6,500 for repeatbuyers under certain in-come levels also applies tomany in this position.

2. Do you know what’sa realistic price?

Recognizing that condi-tions dictate selling at aloss doesn’t mean thatyou’re ready to accept anyoffer, however.

Indeed, experts stressthat the only way to pro-ceed confidently withselling at a loss is to thor-oughly research the hous-ing market in your area.

Ask your agent to pro-vide a lot of recent priceson sales of comparablehomes. In some states,agents can also providerecent sales data by get-ting the prices of homesunder contract, says JohnHuggins, president of

Coldwell Banker LegacyReal Estate Group inBowling Green, Ky. Homesellers can also ask to tourother properties for saleto get an idea of how theirhome compares with oth-er properties being offeredat various price levels, hesays.

Homeowners who owemore in mortgage thanthey can likely net in asale have to investigatewhether they’ll have toadd in their own cash topay off the loan, orwhether the mortgagelender will agree to accepta lower amount. In caseswhere owners have to payout of pocket to sell, thatoutlay could alter the ad-vantage of moving, saysNeal.

3. If you hold out,could you avoid a loss?

Going against the natu-ral inclination to avoidloss means that you’ve an-alyzed the cost of holdingthe property and are rea-sonably confident priceswon’t spring back up.

The National Associa-tion of Realtors forecastshome prices nationwidewill end 2010 up just un-der 4 percent from theend of this year.

Moody’s Economy.compredicts prices will stabi-lize in mid-2010, butthere will be no apprecia-tion. Economy.com hous-ing economist Celia Chenexpects some middle andhigher-end housing atrisk for further declinenext year, and thinks thatsome homeowners willnot see prices return towhat they paid for at leastseveral years.

Real estate trends arelocal, adds Huggins. Headvises looking at pricesfor similar homes in yourarea and gauging demandagainst inventories.
