FROM WIRE REPORTS

A retired couple in their60s was eager to sell theranch-style house wherethey’d lived for 20 yearsand move to a communityfor active seniors. But ittook two months to find abuyer and, as with mostsellers, they found theshowing period taxing.

“I told them the flat-outtruth — just as I tell all mysellers: Having a home onthe market is no fun at all,”said Donna Goings, the 25-year real estate broker wholisted the property.

Her clients had a greatdeal of clutter in theirhouse and had arrangedtheir furniture so their catscould peer out the windowin the living room. So be-fore the house could beplaced on the market, Go-ings explained to the cou-ple that they would have tomake some major accom-modations, includingcarting away many of theirbelongings and movingtheir furniture back inplace. The couple com-

plied yet was hugely re-lieved when their house fi-nally sold.

“Unfortunately, sellingyour house turns your lifeupside down. But you haveto face this fact if you reallywant to sell,” said Goings,who’s affiliated with theCouncil of ResidentialSpecialists (www.crs.net).

As the retired couple’sstory illustrates, the strainof keeping an unsold homelooking right can wear overtime.

Here are a few pointerson keeping a home on themarket in salable condi-tion:

› Keep the whole sell-ing process in perspec-tive.

Goings said homeown-ers who want to sell must“keep their houses lookinggood enough to appear in amagazine.” But she cau-tioned that nowadays evenpicture-perfect propertiescan languish unsold formonths through no fault oftheir owners “becausethere’s so much inventoryout there.”

Ashley Richardson, a re-al estate broker who’s alsoaffiliated with the Councilof Residential Specialists,advises her clients to avoiddwelling on critiques oftheir property.

“Buyers are more candidthan they were in the pastand sometimes can bequite blunt in their feed-back after a showing,”Richardson says. She sug-gested that you tell yourlisting agent to filter out allpointlessly critical com-ments about your place.

› Do as much prelimi-nary packing as possible.

Vicki Norris, a profes-sional organizer and for-

mer real estate agent,knows how hard it can beto keep a “For Sale” housein prime showing shape.It’s especially difficultwhen people are sellingagainst their will — in thewake of a job loss, for in-stance.

To limit upkeep de-mands during the showingperiod, Norris recom-mends that sellers clearthrough their clutter in ad-vance of putting theirplace on the market. Rich-ardson suggested throwingaway or giving away anyitems you don’t intend tokeep and placing the re-mainder in neatly stackedboxes in your garage or an-other storage area.

› Try to maintain yourproperty on a daily basis.

Most people who havetheir homes on the marketfor a lengthy period can’thire someone to do thedaily work necessary tokeep their place in tiptopshowing condition. Still,they must always be ready

for visitors.Richardson advised cli-

ents to set aside 15 minuteseach morning before workto straighten the home.

“At the very minimum,every day you’ll need tosweep the kitchen, put thebreakfast dishes in thedishwasher and hang upany clothes lying around,”she said.

› Consider hiring acleaning service at theoutset.

If you’re sloppier thanthe average homeowner, itmight be wise to pay for “aprofessional cleaning atthe beginning,” said SidDavis, a real estate brokerand author of “A SurvivalGuide to Selling a Home.”

Though it’s likely to costmore than $100, he said asingle in-depth cleaningcould hold you for two tothree months before theprocess would need to beredone.E-mail Ellen James Martin [email protected].

For sale: charming bungalows,neo-Victorians and Spanish-stylehomes in one of the AmericanPlanning Association’s top 10“Great Neighborhoods” for 2010— some restored, some fixer-up-pers, but each comes completewith history, friendly neighborsand (oh, yeah) a nationally knownarts district.

Thanks to renovation efforts byboth longtime residents and newfamilies, Oklahoma City’s Paseodistrict has become a home-own-ership alternative, not merely anarts enclave.

The Paseo, first constructednearly a century ago as a haven ofmodest bungalows and brick cot-tages, was developed by Dr. G.A.Nichols in the late 1920s into anexclusive suburb.

The city’s first suburban shop-ping district — built along thetwo-block curve of Paseo Streetbetween NW 30 and Walker Ave-

nue — has re-emerged, after adormant couple of decades, as acultural center, not only for theimmediate neighborhood but forthe entire city.

Terry Craghead, a case managerfor Access to Counseling, discov-ered the area on a “First Friday”art walk with his wife Darci almosttwo years ago.

Craghead said he and his wife,who were living in Edmond at thetime, “had no idea the city had anarea like (Paseo). We realized thisis where we need to be; these areour people.”

Jamie and Stephanie Reynoldsmoved from a Mesta Park rentalinto a 1,500-square foot bungalowrenovated by Positively Paseo, anonprofit community develop-ment corporation that has target-ed 20 Paseo homes in as manyyears.

Reynolds, a mental health tech-nician in the Behavioral MedicineCenter at St. Anthony Hospital,said Positively Paseo is making ahuge difference with homes likehis.

The Reynolds and Cragheadshave even more in common thantheir decision to move to the Pa-seo.

Both couples had toddlers bornon the same day last December.

Stories like the Rey-nolds’ and Cragheads’ arenot uncommon in the Pa-seo, said Crystal Partee,president of the PaseoNeighborhood Associ-ation.

“We’re still a low- tomoderate-income neigh-borhood,” Partee said,“but with this (AmericanPlanning Association)award and with all the newfamilies moving in, we’rechanging fast.”

Partee, an administra-tive assistant at BridgewayChurch and a businessmarketing student atOklahoma City University,moved with her husband,Jason, into their Paseohome in early 2008.

Now mother to a 3-month old son, Asher,Partee said that plans for acommunity center andplayground will only makethe neighborhood morefamily friendly in comingyears.

“People who love oldhouses” know Mesta Park,Edgemere and CrownHeights, “but they mightnot love the prices” inthose areas, said NatalieBratton, a Realtor with The

Allen Real Estate Group.Bungalows in the Paseo

can easily be found for lessthan $150,000, Brattonsaid — and some for as lowas $30,000, depending onthe condition of the prop-erty.

Bratton, whose connec-tion to the neighborhoodextends back to her yearsas a musician playing incafes along Paseo Street,said, “Paseo is growing,and the houses have thesame great features as ol-der, established neighbor-hoods. It’s an ideal invest-ment right now.”

WASHINGTON — Whenthe Federal Reserve rolledout its plan to pump $600billion into the credit mar-kets, many homeownersand buyers might have fig-ured that since mortgageinterest rates are now likelyto fall again, why not post-pone the loan applicationthey were contemplating?

Fed Chairman Ben Ber-nanke offered implicit sup-port for that scenariowhen, in a WashingtonPost op-ed column Nov. 4,he wrote that as a byprod-uct of the $600 billion in-fusion “lower mortgagerates will make housingmore affordable and allowmore homeowners to refi-nance.”

But wait a minute:Haven’t 30-year fixedmortgage rates been hover-ing about 4¼ percent, thelowest level on record sinceApril 1951? Aren’t 15-yearmortgages just above 3.6percent? How much lowercould rates possibly go?

More to the point on re-financing, since we’re al-ready well into a refi boom-let, with lenders reportinganywhere from 70 percentto 85 percent of new mort-gage volume going to refi-nancings, how much moreof a market share can theFed expect? Housing econ-omists generally don’t an-ticipate seeing significantdirect impacts on mortgagerates from the Fed’s move.

David Crowe, chiefeconomist of the NationalAssociation of HomeBuilders, said the likely ef-fect will be to restrain rateincreases that otherwisewould occur over the com-ing year, as the economywarms up. Amy CrewsCutts, deputy chief econo-mist for mortgage giantFreddie Mac, said the $600billion might only “tweak”rates downward from cur-rent levels.

In an interview, she said“41⁄8 is far more likely than4 percent” on 30-year fixedrate loans because the Fedis not buying mortgage-backed securities but rath-er Treasury bonds.

Which raises the ques-tion: Does it make moresense to wait around for arate bottom that might notmaterialize, or to lock inrates now at what are mul-tigenerational lows?

Cutts has a personal an-swer. She recently refi-nanced her home loanthrough a mortgage brokerto 4½ percent fixed for 30years, and is saving $100 amonth on payments. Whatis she doing with the extra$100? Plowing it back intoher new mortgage, reduc-ing principal to shorten theterm of the note and payingit off sooner. David Crowehas refinanced two loans inrecent months.

Peter Ogilvie, presidentof First Residential Mort-gage Corp. in Santa Cruz,Calif., said “refinancingmakes sense for just aboutanybody with a rate over5¼ percent,” and oftenproduces monthly savingseven for people with notesin the upper 4 percentrange — provided, ofcourse, that they can qual-ify under the industry’stoughened credit and loan-to-value underwritingstandards.

Some homeowners mayalso be good candidates forso-called “no-cost” refi-nancing, where the title,escrow and lender closingcharges are either added tothe mortgage principal bal-ance or paid for over timewith a slightly higher noterate. The idea here, Ogilviesaid, is to reduce yourmonthly housing pay-ments — improving cashflow without laying outdollars at settlement.

Jeff Lipes, senior vicepresident of Family ChoiceMortgage in Hartford,Conn., and president of theConnecticut MortgageBankers Association, haswhat he calls a 24-monthrule-of-thumb for decid-ing whether a refinancingmakes sense: If you can payfor the closing and otherexpenses of the rate reduc-tion in about two years, youshould consider a refi.

Take this example: Sayyou have a 5¾ percentfixed-rate loan at$200,000, paying $1,167 amonth in principal and in-

terest. If you refi to a fixed-rate $200,000 loan at 4¾percent, you’ll be paying$1,043 a month, a $124monthly saving, or $1,488 ayear. Since prepaid charges,tax escrows and closingcosts will come to about$3,000, Lipes calculates,you should recoup virtuallyall your costs in the first 24months.

Steve Stamets, a loan of-

ficer for Union MortgageGroup in Rockville, Md.,said homeowners who’dlike to be debt-free fasterought to consider a refi outof their current 30-yearterm loan into a 15-yearterm. Fifteen-year mort-gages carry lower rates than30-year loans, but theirfaster amortization sched-ules require higher month-ly payments.

Here’s an example, usingthe no-cost option: Sayyou took out a $300,000fixed-rate loan during therate dip in 2003 at 5 per-cent. Current balance isaround $264,000, withmonthly principal and in-terest of $1,613.

Rolling the closing, in-surance, tax and other loancosts of about $5,000 into anew $269,000, 15-year

mortgage at 3¾ percentproduces a payment of$1,958. If you can afford it,that extra $345 a monthwill save you many thou-sands of dollars in interestcompared with the 30-yearalternative, and make youmortgage-free in 15 years.

THE NATION’S HOUSING


LOS ANGELES — The saleof Nicolas Cage’s onetimeBel-Air estate, which theactor lost to foreclosurethis year, has all the mak-ings of a Hollywood block-buster. There was hubris,bad taste and a dizzyingfall from financial grace.

The closing sceneplayed out recently when anew owner picked up thesprawling mansion for$10.5 million, a relativebargain for a trophy homethat had been listed severalyears ago at more thanthree times that amount.The buyer was identifiedonly as a limited liabilitycompany, a commoncloaking device in high-profile real estate transac-tions.

The 1940 Tudor hadfailed to generate any bidsin April when it was of-fered at the county court-house steps in Pomona,Calif. Six loans totaling $18million encumbered thehouse, which the actor haddecorated in a style one lo-cal real estate agentdubbed “frat-house bor-dello.” Among personal-ized touches were garishroom colors, three dozenbronze wall sconce holdersmade from a cast of theOscar winner’s arm andhundreds of elaboratelyframed comic-book coverslining the walls.

But the 11,817-square-foot manse drew a steadystream of potential buyersand multiple offers afterCitibank put it back on themarket and reduced theprice to $11.8 million.

It went under contractin July.

“The reason it took solong is the IRS has what iscalled a right of redemp-tion,” said listing agentStephen Shapiro of West-side Estate Agency, whoshared the listing with hisson, Max Shapiro. “Theyhad 120 days to decide ifthey wanted to buy it. Youcan’t close or get title in-surance until that time isup.”

The all-cash buyer hadbeen prepared to completethe transaction in fivedays.

“It was a fatigue-induc-ing deal,” Max Shapirosaid. “I was showing itmultiple times a day everysingle day for months.Who knew there were somany $10 million-plusbuyers out there?”

The sale reflects thecontinued price drop inthe luxury market. A new-er, slightly smaller housesold last year on the samestreet for $22 million, ac-cording to public records.

Although there hadbeen speculation amonglocal real estate agents thatthe house might be torndown, the new owner hashired a restoration archi-tect to bring it back toflawless condition, ac-cording to Prudential Cali-fornia real estate agentBret Parsons, the author of“Colcord Home,” a lovingexamination of the exten-sive work of architect Ge-rard R. Colcord.

LOS ANGELES — Califor-nia and Florida had a lot incommon during the hous-ing industry’s last boom-and-bust cycle.

Both were overrun bybuyers hooked on high-risk mortgages, specula-tors who helped push pric-es to historic peaks andbuilders who didn’t knowwhen to stop. When thebubble burst, the twostates became leaders inmortgage defaults, pricedeclines and tracts of un-sold new homes.

But in the past year orso, California’s housingmarket, though still weak,has begun recovering,while Florida’s remains onthe critical list.

There are several rea-sons for the difference, butmany experts say a key oneis the approach to foreclo-sure.

California keeps thingsless complicated andlargely outside the cour-troom, making it easier forbanks to seize and resellhomes. Like 22 otherstates, Florida requiresthat repossessions be ap-proved by judges, whichsome argue provides extraprotection for homeown-ers but can delay the proc-ess for months.

“The California processis very efficient, and thatallows the state to workthrough the foreclosuremorass much more quick-ly, and the result is a morestable housing market andeconomy,” said Mark Zan-di, chief economist forMoody’s Economy.com.

“Florida, in contrast,because of the process be-ing so mucked up there,they still have a long way togo in working throughtheir problem loans, andso their housing economyremains under significantpressure,” he said.

Home prices in the twostates tell the tale.

California home salesand prices have tapered offsince the boost from fed-eral tax credits for buyersvanished in July, but homevalues are up considerablyfrom the worst days of thebust. The median price fortown homes, condomini-ums and single-familyhouses in September was$265,000, up 20 percentfrom the bottom in April2009, according to MDADataQuick.

In Florida, prices inmuch of the state havestruggled to find a bottom.The median price of a sin-gle-family home in Floridawas $133,400 in Septem-ber, a 48 percent declinefrom its June 2006 peak,according to data from the

Florida Association of Re-altors. Condominiumprices have seen an evenbigger plunge, with thestatewide median hitting$83,400 in September, a 61percent drop from its June2006 peak.

The different types offoreclosure systems havecome into focus in recentweeks after major lendersacknowledged that insome states where a court

order was required to seizea home they had employedso-called robo-signers,who attested to the accu-racy of foreclosure docu-ments without readingthem.

Those improprietiesprompted some majorbanks to halt foreclosureproceedings temporarily,sparked investigations bystate and federal agenciesand led to calls for a na-

tional foreclosure morato-rium, which the Obamaadministration has resist-ed.

The paperwork fiascobrought to light a cold fact:Calling in a judge slows therepossession machine.

The average borrower indefault lost the home afterfailing to make mortgagepayments for 25 months inFlorida and the otherstates where court approv-al is required for reposses-sions, according to a study

by Amherst SecuritiesGroup.

The average is 19months in California andother so-called nonjudi-cial states.

While shopping at one of myfavorite high-end designer dis-count stores, where I alwaysfind great bargains, a womanapproached me for advice aboutselecting a rug.

We chatted, and she told meabout her space and what typeof rug she desired. I was morethan happy to assist her while Icontinued to shop for accesso-ries for my newly designedfamily room.

She confided that she hadbrought home several otherrugs but her husband thoughtthey didn’t give the roomenough warmth.

I really tried to help her, but Ithought that if she were better

prepared she wouldn’t have tokeep dragging home rugs, inhopes that one might work out.Trust me, I’ve been there. Andit’s no fun dragging these hugerugs home or allowing a de-signer to bring rugs in and out— it’s all a drag.

Just the day before, I found abeautiful handmade wool shag

rug in earth tones at this store.It was bold with large squaresof terra-cotta and orange infour different hues. The rug wasmade in India and I absolutelyloved the colors. Usually, for meit’s the first item that catchesmy attention that I end up buy-ing after the process is said anddone.

After looking through thenumerous racks of rugs, thisone demanded my attention;although it was bold I hoped itwould blend into the space andsoften the brown leather piecesthat I recently purchased dur-ing a going-out-of-businesssale.

Although many of us think

that we can’t go back to shag —because we’ve done that — thenew shags are cool and inviting,and yes they feel great on yourfeet. Just the week before, Iordered chocolate shag bath-room rugs from frontgate.com.My husband objected to theshedding but after the firstwash they stopped, and theyfeel really good on your feet.

The next time you are in themarket for a rug check outthese quick tips:

› It’s important that youbring samples of your roomwith you while shopping. Thisshould include wall color, floor-ing and samples of your fabric.If you don’t have these items

take a few good photos of thespace with phone or find simi-lar colors in your closet or tablelinens.

› The most important thingto do is live with the rug a weekor so and allow your eyes toabsorb the new color scheme.After a week, if you still don’tlike it, roll it up and try again.

› After you’ve made yourselection, pull the colors of therug into other parts of theroom, at least three other timesthrough throws or pillows andaccessories.

Now go out and create yourown unique comfort zone!

If you have a decorating dilemma, contactMi-Ling at www.Mi-Ling.com.
