Professionally SpeakingDear Community,As the national real estate

market trends toward a doubledip this year, many buyers areputting the brakes on a homepurchase. Here’s why waitingmay be a bad investment planthat could cost you more in thelong run.Housing prices are at 2003

prices. Nine years of apprecia-tion has vanished. Buyers cancapital on consumer confidencelevel lows and “misery” indexhighs. Sellers are motivated as propertieslanguish on the market. Mortgage rates are at a record low right

now. A proposal by the government, qual-ity residential mortgage (QRM) is stirring de-bate, but if adopted will cost buyers more inmortgage interest. QRM will entice banksto replace government lending and studiesshow it could increase interest rates by 3%.Even a 2% increase will dramatically affectthe affordability of a monthly mortgage pay-ment, raising the monthly payment on a$200K home by $200 a month. Investors are snapping up well priced

home to take advantage high demandrental homes. Military members and others

with homes to sell elsewhere areentering the local rental market.Demand is high for moderatelypriced rentals under $1500 amonth, but our supply of homeshave been inadequate. Rentalamount are on the rise. Housing, even in this tight mar-

ket, has outstripped stock marketperformance. Seasoned home buyers know

that profit is made when a prop-erty purchased, not sold. Now is

the time to purchase a home while the highmotivation of sellers, low interest rates andlarge inventory align themselves in such anextraordinary opportunity for a short time. Pinehurst-Southern Pines Area Associa-

tion of REALTORS® has well qualified andhighly trained Realtor members. Under-standing the wide range of skills REAL-TORS® possess, interviewing agents tolearn about individual experience, expertiseand results, and hiring a local REALTOR®is the best advantage to buying and sellingreal estate in Moore County.

Americans still con-sider owning a homeessential to the Ameri-can Dream, andWashington policy-makers would be wiseto keep this in mind inthe coming electionseason. Proof of this state-

ment is evident in aMay 2011 poll con-ducted on behalf ofthe National Associa-tion of Home Buildersby Public OpinionStrategies of Alexan-dria, Va., and LakeResearch Partners of

Washington, D.C. The national poll

reached two thousandlikely voters andasked them abouttheir attitudes regard-ing homeownershipand housing policy.The results could notbe clearer. Despite the ups and

downs of the housingmarket—and whetheror not they currentlyown home— votersoverwhelmingly indi-cated that they placea high value on home-ownership as a core

achievement in theirlives.Of the poll respon-

dents who are currenthome owners, nearlyall of them—95 per-cent—said they arehappy with their deci-sion to own a homeand believe that own-ing their own home isimportant. Almostthree-quarters of re-spondents who do notnow own a home saidit is a goal of theirs toeventually buy one. Equally telling, vot-

ers rated the impor-tance ofhomeownership justas highly as the im-portance of beingsuccessful at their jobor being able to payfor a family member’seducation.“The bottom line is,

even after years ofeconomic turmoil andan unprecedentedand prolonged down-turn in the housingmarket, homeowner-ship is still a central

goal f-r mostAmericans,”saidMeredithSledz,ExecutiveOfficer ofthe MooreCounty HomeBuilders Association.“It’s an undeniablydeep emotional at-tachment that can’t beignored by the politi-cians who are lookingto address budget is-sues by cutting hous-ing incentives in thetax code such as themortgage interest de-duction.” Americans also feel

strongly about the fi-nancial benefits—andchallenges—of home-ownership.Poll respondents

said they consideredowning a home theirbest investment, morethan their retirementsavings program orstock market invest-ments. And 75 per-cent said that owning

a home isworth fac-ing thepotentialups anddownsof the

housingmarket.)

Meanwhile, non-owners identified sav-ing enough money fora down payment andclosing costs as thenumber one barrierkeeping them fromhomeownership,more than job uncer-tainty or concerns thatthe value of theirhome may dropbelow the purchaseprice. Yet exceedingly

stringent mortgagelending requirementscould make that bar-rier even tougher forthe typical Americanfamily to overcome inthe future. For exam-ple, according to esti-mates by both NAHBand the Center for Re-sponsible Lending, it

would take more than12 years for a typicalfamily to save enoughmoney for a 20 per-cent down paymenton a median-pricedsingle-family home. “Lawmakers need to

put themselves in theshoes of the averageAmerican, and seethat excessive downpayment require-ments and a reduc-tion in housing taxincentives will keephomeownership out ofreach for most first-time home buyers andmany middle-classhouseholds,” saidSledz. “This would bea fatal blow to theAmerican Dream formany, many families.” To learn more about

The key to an easymove is careful plan-ning. There are manyaction items that needto be taken prior tothe move all the wayup to the actual daythe first box is loadedon the moving truck.Take time to writedown and organizethe decisions and ac-tivities that will need tobe accomplished priorto the move such assecuring a mover andchanging your ad-dress. Ideally, youshould try to break upthe tasks over a two-month period. Bydoing so, you won’toverload your sched-ule, plus it can saveyou time and money.To get you started,consider using thechecklist below as aguide. Eight Weeks PriorGet estimates from

at least three profes-sional movers. If youare going to do ityourself, get estimateson rental trucks.Decide which furni-

ture and householdgoods you’ll be tak-ing, which needs tobe disposed andwhich needs to be re-placed.If you will be moving

to a new city, contactthe Chamber of Com-merce of that town fora new residencepacket. Your salesprofessional may alsohave information.Six Weeks PriorInventory your pos-

sessions besides fur-niture – kitchenware,decorative items, elec-tronics, apparel andso on.

Complete a changeof address form withthe post office. Makesure you notify organi-zations, credit cardscompanies, and publi-cations to which yousubscribe of your newaddress, too.Obtain copies of all

medical, dental, legal,accounting and veteri-narian records.If children are

changing schools,arrange for transfer ofeducational records.Itemize moving-re-

lated costs with themover including pack-ing, loading, specialcharges and insur-ance.Four Weeks PriorMake arrangements

for packing your be-longings. If you will beusing professionals,schedule with thecompany for packingto take place a day ortwo before the move.If you will handlepacking on your own,purchase adequateboxes, packing mate-rials and tape.Arrange for short-

term or long-term stor-age if needed.Make travel arrange-

ments for pets includ-ing necessary medicalrecords, immuniza-tions, medication andso on.

Three Weeks PriorBegin packing items

you won’t need imme-diately or that will gointo storage.Contact utilities on

both ends of the moveto order termination orturn-on for occupancydate.Confirm travel

arrangements for fam-ily and pets.

Two Weeks PriorTerminate newspa-

per and other deliveryservices.If necessary, arrange

and confirm new bankaccounts and localservices in your newneighborhood.One Week PriorGather important pa-

pers, records, andvaluables for pro-tected shipment tonew home or safe de-posit box.Obtain any prescrip-

tion medicationsneeded for the nextfew weeks.Day Before or Ac-

tual Moving DayDefrost

refrigerator/freezerand give away all per-ishable food.Keep a box marked

“Last BoxPacked/First Box Un-packed” for tools,flashlights, first aid kitand so on. On movingday, this should bethe last box placed onthe truck.Pack items to carry

with you such as valu-ables, financialrecords, personal pa-pers and so on. Give the movers a

telephone numberand address to reachyou.To be sure, a de-

tailed action plan canget your move welldown the road beforeyou ever depart toyour new destination.Kay Beran can be

(ARA) - Of courseyou love your pets,but let's face it: Some-times they smell. Andwhether you are host-ing guests or trying tosell your home, thelast thing you wantvisitors to rememberis an offensive odor.Luckily, there are anumber of ways toeliminate those less-than-pleasant petodors and let yourhome's personalityshine.Refreshing wallsPaint is one of the

most dramatic andcost-effective ways togive your home's inte-rior a new look, andnow it can also giveyour home a newfresh scent. DutchBoy's Refresh paintfeatures odor-eliminat-ing technology fromArm & Hammer. It re-duces odors causedby pets and othersources, keeping yourhome smelling asgood as it looks.Proven to reducehousehold smells, acoat of Refresh paintwill prevent bad odorsfrom lingering formonths. By trappingand neutralizing odormolecules, this paintdoesn't cover up un-appealing smells, butactually reducesthem. And Refreshpaint is available inDutch Boy's broadrange of colors, soyou can reduce un-pleasant smells with-out compromising

your decorating taste.Clean with steamEven if your pet isn't

allowed on the furni-ture, your home fur-nishing fabrics areholding onto unpleas-ant scents. Thoughyou may vacuum reg-ularly, animal hair anddander are trapped inthe fibers of yourcushions, curtains,sofa and other decor.Using a steam cleaneris the best way toeliminate bad smellsin upholstered furni-ture and other itemsthat cannot be laun-dered. Hire a profes-sional service to treatthe common areas inyour home, or pur-chase a steam cleanerspecifically designedfor pet hair removal.Deep-clean commonarea fabrics severaltimes each year, andto help maintain afresh smell day today, use an odor-neu-tralizing fabric sprayregularly.Hit the floorThe biggest source

of your home's objec-tionable smell couldbe right under yourfeet. As anyone whohas house-trained apet knows, they don'talways get it right, andsometimes those acci-dents go unnoticedand cause stains to in-evitably set in. To re-move odors of anyage, scrub bare floorswith white vinegar andwater or an odor-neu-tralizing cleaner, and

thoroughly wash car-pets and rugs usingan odor-neutralizingshampoo. You canalso hire a profes-sional to clean thecarpets and provideextra deodorizingtreatments. If stains orsmells remain, you'lllikely need to replacethe carpet andpadding. If this is thecase, be sure to scrubthe floor beneath be-fore laying new carpetdown. After the carpethas been thoroughlycleaned or replaced,regularly use carpetdeodorizer formulatedfor pet odors whenvacuuming.Scented accessoriesTie a ribbon on your

odor-free home withstrategically placedcandles and air fresh-eners. Choose classicscents that comple-ment your decor, anduse a variety through-out the home to avoidan overpowering re-sult. Many candlesand fresheners offerodor-neutralizing tech-nology as well aspleasant scents, en-suring unfavorablesmells are not onlycovered up but elimi-nated. Jars of pot-pourri or scentedcrystals add touchesof personality to anyroom decor as well.No matter what

types or the numberof pets that share yourhome, these tips willhelp keep it smellingfresh all year round.

(ARA) - Home im-provement projectsdon't need to be diffi-cult, and with the righttools and attitude,they can be excitingas you watch yourhouse transform.Summer is the perfecttime to look at yourhome to-do list andget going. Here aresome easy ideas youcan get started ontoday. Outdoors: siding,

deck and doors makea house stand out. Painting the home

exterior, sheds,fences or decks canbe a challenging task.However, doing agood job now willmake your entirehome look great foryears to come. To ensure a good

result, begin by re-moving dirt and otheritems such as leavesfrom the surface to bepainted. Look forareas where paint ischipped or bubbledand remove with awire brush or wide-blade putty knife.Using an electricsander can also behelpful. When painting, use

tools that are madespecifically to helpease and expedite theprocess. The WagnerPower Painters featur-ing EZ Tilt helpstackle a variety ofprojects like paintinga house, shed orfence and producesquality results. Thepaint sprayer appliesa professional gradepaint application. Anyway you look at exte-rior painting, you can'tbeat the coverage,speed and finish youget by spraying.While you already

have all your paintingsupplies out, grab abrush and updatesmall details like thefront door and trim. On a beautiful sunny

day, painting yourhouse can be a joy.Throw a paintingparty and invite yourfriends over to helpout. After the projectis done, eat a nicedinner together toshow your apprecia-tion. Now for the restof the year you have abeautiful house toenjoy, inside and out. Indoors: look at

walls, ceilings and fur-

niture. The first step is to

take a look at the in-side of your homeand analyze whichrooms need a facelift.Look at the walls forchipped or dirty paintand the ceiling forstains. Painting is aneasy and cheap wayto brighten yourhouse fast. When choosing

paint colors, it's bestto look at the furnitureand other pieces inthe home and try tocoordinate appropri-ately. When in doubt,light colors work bestand always brighten aroom. If you are feel-ing daring, thinkabout trying one ofthe deep and beauti-ful colors that arepopular right now inthe color palettes atmany paint compa-nies. Fill in holes and

nicks with putty. Sandand prime thoseareas before painting.Priming helps ensurea professional lookingpaint job that lastslonger so it is worthyour time. After wallshave been primed, it'stime to apply paint. Rollers are the pre-

ferred tool for manypeople because theyapply an even coatand hold a lot ofpaint. If you are paint-ing the ceiling, youwill need a roller withan extended handleto reach the highareas and help relievearm tension. One roller that really

saves you time whenpainting is Wagner'sTurboRoll batterypowered roller. TheTurboRoll holds paintin the handle and eas-

ily reaches 8-foot ceil-ings. One fill of thetube can paint anarea 10 feet by 7 feetin size. It also has"Power Trigger" tech-nology that allows theuser to supply paintdirectly to the roller bysqueezing a triggerso that they don'thave to make re-peated trips to thepaint tray to load upwith paint. This savestime and gets the jobdone fast with an ex-cellent finish. After the paint has

dried, looking at thefloors is the next step.Hard flooring needsto get washed andcarpets should becleaned. Renting acarpet cleaner fromyour local hardwarestore is very economi-cal and provides adeep clean. Get thewhole family to helpout and make clean-ing a fun activity youall participate in. A quick clean and

perhaps reorganiza-tion of furniture, andyou just gave yourhome an easy faceliftfor little cost and not alot of time. Home improvement

and painting yourhouse can be a joy.You can also takepride in the fact thatyou did it yourself.And better yet - yousaved money. Afterthe project is done,invite your friendsover to showcaseyour great accom-plishment. Now forthe rest of the yearyou have a beautifulhouse to enjoy, insideand out.
