PENDING HOMESALES RISE Following a sharpdrop in the monthsimmediately afterexpiration of a taxcredit for home-buyers, nationalpending home saleshave modestly risen,according to theNational Associationof Realtors. The Pending HomeSales Index rose 5.2percent to 79.4based on contractssigned in July from adownwardly revised75.5 in June, butremains 19.1 percentbelow July 2009when it was 98.1.The data reflectscontracts and notclosings, which nor-mally occur with alag time of one ortwo months. Lawrence Yun, theRealtors’ chief econ-omist, cautionedthat there would bea long recovery proc-ess, although “im-proved affordabilityconditions shouldhelp with a recov-ery.”
SWITCH COULDRID HUMIDITYUsing an exhaustfan to rid a bath-room of humiditycan be a tricky bal-ance. Turn it off toosoon, and you mayleave behind damag-ing moisture. Leaveit on too long, andyou waste energy bysending heated orcooled air outsideunnecessarily. A newfan switch takesaway the guess-work. The DewStopswitch senses con-densation in theroom and turns theexhaust fan on andoff automatically.The wall-mountedswitch also can beoperated manually.The switch workswith an existing fan.It comes with aswitch plate but canbe used with anyplate designed for arocker-type lightswitch.

With two kids nearing kinder-garten age, a sales manageryearned to move his family to theupscale neighborhood where hegrew up. But for several years heand his wife, a teacher, were tornabout the idea ofselling their modestColonial home topave the way for anew purchase.
The problem wasthat the couple’sproperty wassomewhat under-water, meaningtheir mortgage bal-ance was slightly higher than thehome’s value. But recently they didthe math and realized that tradingup would work in their favor.Though they had to write a checkto sell their modest home, they gota bigger discount on their newplace in the fancier area.
“I call these people strategichome sellers. They take a more rea-soned and less emotional view oftheir housing options,” said RonaldPhipps, the real estate broker wholisted the couple’s home.
Phipps, president-elect of theNational Association of Realtors,said that for more than two yearsmany prospective home sellershave stood on the sidelines, wait-ing for the real estate market to sta-
bilize. But now“they’re finallyflipping the switch,selling their housesand taking backcontrol of theirlives.”
Phipps said thatuntil recent weeksmany home sellershave waited in vain
for clear signals that the U.S. econ-omy and the real estate markethave fully stabilized. But at thispoint, he said, “They realize that allreal estate is local and that what’shappening in their own communi-ty is more relevant than nationalmarket trends.”
After months of indecision, ifyou’ve made a firm decision to putyour house on the market this fallor winter, then these pointerscould prove helpful:
› Realize you can have a suc-
cessful sale in any season.Perhaps you regret missing the
traditional high point of the home-selling season, which runs fromspring through early summer. Youmight think your house could havefetched more money then, whenmore prospects were out looking.
But Phipps said, “The date whenyou sell is less critical than theprice and the ratio of supply to de-mand in your neighborhood.”
Granted, there are fewer would-be buyers looking for property dur-ing the later months of the year.But he said those searching duringthis period are mostly seriousbuyers who often need to move dueto a job change or another com-pelling reason.
› Don’t fret about making yourkids move during the school year.
Many parents hold back on sell-ing their home during the late fallor winter months because they feartheir kids will have a hard timemaking a midyear switch to a newschool.
But William Bainbridge, presi-dent of the SchoolMatch Institute(www.schoolmatch.com), which
produces comparative informationon public and private schools, saidstudents who make a midyearchange often fare better than thosewho move in the summer.
One reason is that midyearswitchers are typically showeredwith attention from teachers andclassmates. In contrast, those whostart a new school in the fall typ-ically receive less academic and so-cial support, Bainbridge said.
› Don’t be afraid of seasonal de-cor when selling during the holidayseason.
But Phipps said homeownerswho seek to sell during the winterholiday season, from Thanksgivingthrough New Year’s, need not feardecor that’s suitable for the season.
“Actually, seasonal wreaths andother generic holiday decorationsgive buyers a warmer, more com-forting and embracing feelingwhen they walk into your house.This could help sell the place,” hesaid.

MOORE — Tom Pollardhas spent this summer,triple-digit temps and all,cozied up next to a fire-place.
But don’t commit himjust yet.
It’s an outdoor fireplace,and it accentuates thewarm feel of the featurehome built by Pollard’sTLP Custom Homes forthe Southwest Showcaseof Homes.
The annual event is to-day through Sept. 19 andshowcases 40 new homesin 24 subdivisions in thesouthwest Oklahoma Citymetro area, said MarvinHaworth, SouthwestHome Builders Associ-ation board member andowner of Marvin Haworth
Homes. The homes will beopen free to the publicfrom 1 to 7 p.m. each day.(Photos and informationabout the homes can befound inside this section.)
Pollard’s featured home,at 1113 Ryan Road inMoore’s Rock Creek addi-tion, is a 2,612-square-foot, three-bedroom,2½-bath layout. RockCreek is off SE Fourth be-tween Bryant and Sunny-lane.
Pollard described theopen-design, split-floorhome as “traditional” witha “unique elevation andfloor plan.” With popularfinish features such asstucco and red-framedwindows, it’s “a little dif-ferent” from the homesthat surround it, he said.
The home, with a three-car garage, upstairs mediaroom and custom-fin-
ished master suite, is of-fered at $294,000.
Pollard said the outdoorfireplace is a feature he’sincluding in about 40 per-cent of the homes hebuilds now.
Another feature that hesaid has been in demand,and which Pollard has in-cluded in the Showcaseproject home, is hard-sur-face flooring.
“More and more home-owners are steering to-wards some kind of (tile orhardwood) flooring andaway from carpet if possi-

ble,” especially in high-traffic areas, Pollard said.
Energy efficiency was amajor concern in thehome’s design, with foamand fiberglass insulationpumping the walls up to anR-19 value and protectingthe attic with an R-40 val-ue.
Two separate 14-SEERheat and air systems willprovide “a lot more com-fort between the upstairsand downstairs,” Pollardsaid.
Those features, alongwith vinyl, low-E win-dows, mean the home’sbuyer should expect “bigenergy savings and a high-er comfort level immedi-ately,” Pollard said.
Haworth said all theShowcase homes reflectcurrent trends and de-mands of the market.
This year, he said,“Market trends seem to belarger-footage houses withfewer amenities or smallerhomes loaded with amen-ities.”
In addition to Pollard’sfeatured home, the South-west Showcase of Homesis highlighting a projecthouse at 12616 Olivine Ter-race in Oklahoma City’sRockport addition, built byJohn Baxter of JB HomesLLC. Rockport is off SPortland Avenue betweenSW 119 and SW 134.
Haworth said he expect-ed a good turnout for theweeklong Showcase de-spite the slowdown inhome sales. The lowest in-terest rates in 50 yearsmeans there is still “a rea-sonable amount ofbuyers,” he said.

DEAR MI-LING: We moved into ournew house four months ago. We boughtnew furniture for the whole house anddecorated all the rooms except our bed-room. We kept our dressers because theywere in good shape, soI painted them white togive a fresh look.
Now I’m looking fora used antique-lookingheadboard to completethe room. I have notbought pictures, lampsand a mirror for mydresser because I amstuck on this headboard. I do not wantto spend a lot of money because I know Ican find what I need in garage sales andused furniture stores. I am a licenseddecorator but could use some help.
My house is rustic and beach-style,but I also have a few antiques. Pleasehelp me.
Natalie G.DEAR NATALIE: As a decorator, you
are used to getting everything just per-fect for your clients. But Rome wasn’tbuilt in a day. Take a few breaths andjust relax. Don’t be in a hurry to create
your masterpiece.Take the time to get a feel for how you
really want to live in that space. Afterall, your bedroom is one of the mostimportant spaces in your new home.
Here are a couple of ideasto help you find just theright headboard:
Consider buying a head-board from an unpaintedstore and then paint anddistress the piece yourself —that way you’ll get the lookyou want at a great price.
I have found some won-derful pieces of furniture in the scratchand dent rooms or a backroom sale areaof my favorite high-end furniture anddepartment stores.
Since you’re looking for a distressedheadboard, a few dings won’t make ahuge difference, and oftentimes a piececan be easily repaired. At least you willhave a great-quality piece.
Good luck on your hunt.Now go out and create your own
unique comfort zone!

Q: My house has acontinuous ridge vent inthe attic and two gablevents (one on each endof the attic). However, ithas no soffit vents at all.I’d like to install somebut I’m not sure whatkind are best. Is it bad tohave more ventilation atthe eaves than at theridge? Any tips are ap-preciated.
A: For the typical attic,ventilation is achieved byinstalling a series of lowvents along the eaves orsoffits of the roof, and aseries of high vents alongthe roof’s ridge or gableends.
Since the air in the atticis warmer at the ridgethan it is at the eaves, thenatural upward move-ment of the warmed aircreates a current of mov-ing air. The low vents actas air intake vents and theupper ones act as exhaustvents — lower temper-ature air is drawn inthrough the low vents,pushing the higher tem-perature air out the highvents. Without the lowventilation, as is the caseof your attic, you aredependent solely on windpressure to move air inthrough one of the highvents and out through theother, which doesn’t workvery well.
You want to use a ratioof approximately 1 squarefoot of ventilation area forevery 300 square feet ofattic area, including at-tached garages. That ven-tilation should be equallydivided between high andlow vents. So, simplydivide the square footageof your attic by 300 to getthe total amount of venti-lation required, then di-vide that number by 2 todetermine approximatelyhow much should be highand how much should below.
Ideally, you want tokeep the amount of highand low ventilationroughly equal, and youalso want to keep the lowvents roughly balanced oneach side of the house. Inother words, don’t put allthe low vents on one sideand none on the other.However, as long as youinstall the correct totalamount of ventilationrequired for the entireattic, if you have a littlemore low than high itwon’t matter.
The type of soffit ventsto use depends on theconstruction of yourhouse. If you have opensoffits, where you canlook up and see the un-derside of the roofsheathing, you can re-move some of the solidwood blocks between therafters and replace themwith screened eave vents.If you have a closed soffit,which means the under-side of the rafters arecovered, you need to cut aslot through the soffit andinstall long continuoussoffit vents, of whichthere are several types on
the market. And in addi-tion to the new vents,make sure all your ex-haust fans are vented tothe outside to preventmoisture problems in thefuture.
Q: We have two fairlynew appliances (dish-washer and convection-microwave) that arebisque (color). Our pre-sent stove is bisque andthe fridge has woodpanels on the doors tomatch the cabinets. Ihave found a fridge andstove in bisque but nowam beginning to wonderif the way to go is withstainless steel. Will thebisque “date” thehouse?
Merillat cabinets (thebrand we now have) dohave bisque laminatecabinets, but then I’mthinking everything bis-que may be way overthe top. This is the part Ihate about doing any-thing in the house — toomany decisions!
A: I definitely sympa-thize. Too many deci-sions, and a lot of them,especially when you’redealing with the kitchen,can be quite expensive. Assuch, you need to makeyour decisions based onwhat’s practical and af-fordable, not just onwhat’s currently popular.Discarding perfectly goodappliances doesn’t makeany sense.
Stainless-steel ap-pliances are hot, and havebeen for several years. Isuspect they’ll remain sofor quite awhile, sincethey look classy and blendwell with a wide varietyof cabinets, counters andflooring. Black appliancestend to do the same thing,and while they’re not nowa hot trend, they tend toremain relatively popularyear after year.
Bisque will probablydate the house to somedegree, but it’s such aneutral color that I don’tthink it would be a hugeturnoff to a potentialbuyer. One thing I wouldstrongly recommendagainst is bisque cabinets!As you mention, thatwould be way over the top.What’s now popular in theway of cabinets is neutral,softer-grained woods suchas maple and alder.
Finally, try not to gettoo stressed. Don’t look attoo many options. After awhile it all gets confusingand overwhelming, and ittakes the fun and excite-ment out of remodeling.

DEAR BARRY: I am aRealtor with 10 years undermy belt. I’ve attendedhundreds of home inspec-tions and have workedwith dozens of home in-spectors who are thor-ough, professional and re-liable, who provide accu-rate disclosure, withoutwhitewashing the truth orgoing overboard with neg-ative comments.
But last week, I watcheda home inspector literallyoverwhelm the buyerswith a multitude of thingsthat “could go wrong inthe future,” commentsthat were not based onwhat was but what couldpossibly happen. Besidesthis, comments in his re-port turned out to be inac-curate.
For example, he said theroof rafters were not rein-forced with collar ties.This turned out to be un-true. And he said there wasmold on the roof rafters.This, in fact, was lumber-yard mildew, commonlyfound on new wood fram-ing.
I don’t mind a deal fall-ing through because ofgenuine defects, but thiswas entirely unjustified.Could you please shareyour thoughts about this?
LisaDEAR LISA: It is always
disappointing to hear ofhome inspectors who per-form their work in waysthat are inappropriate andunprofessional. Excessiveexamples such as this are
unusual, but they do exist.They cause financial dam-age to individuals, andthey damage the publicperception of the home in-spection profession.
If this inspector is an af-filiate member of your Re-altor board, perhaps thereis a complaint processwhereby he would beobliged to appear and toanswer specific questionsregarding the alleged er-rors in his recent inspec-tion and report. If he is amember of an establishedhome inspection associ-ation, such as the Ameri-can Society of Home In-spectors, the National As-sociation of Home Inspec-tors or a recognized stateassociation, it might bepossible to file a complaintin that venue.
Another thing you cando is to send the inspectora letter, specifically listingthe details of your com-plaint, with signaturesfrom both agents and bothbrokers in the transaction.If he realizes that he hasincurred the displeasure oftwo local real estate offic-es, he might reconsider theways that he conducts hisbusiness.
DEAR BARRY: Thehome we are buying has agarage that was convertedto a bedroom, bathroomand laundry room. Thesellers disclosed that thiswas done without a build-ing permit. We’re worriedabout what the buildingdepartment might do ifthey discover this non-permitted conversion.What do you recommend?
MikeDEAR MIKE: Consult
the local building depart-ment to learn its officialposition regarding unper-mitted garage conversions.Municipal agencies havedifferent policies in thisregard. Some building de-partments are busy andtend to look the other way;some are very strict andactively enforce violations;some only take actionwhen they receive a com-plaint from an unhappyneighbor; some allow ga-rages to be converted witha permit; and others do notallow garage conversionsunder any circumstances.
Above all, you don’twant the city ordering youto restore the garage afteryou’ve taken possession ofthe property. Undoing aconversion of that kindcould cost thousands ofdollars. Before proceedingwith the purchase, find outwhere you stand with theauthorities.

WASHINGTON — If you fit theprofile — typically buyers withlittle cash on hand or small-scaleinvestors looking for a deal on aforeclosed house — a little-publi-cized national lending programcould be what you need this fall.
Here’s what it offers:› Minimal down payments: 3
percent for buyers who plan tolive in the house, 10 percent forinvestors. Most of your downpayment can come from docu-mented gifts from relatives orothers with no direct connectionto the transaction.
› No requirement for an ap-praisal on the property unlessyou’re applying for additionalmoney to renovate the house.This is crucial because lowballappraisals can be deal killers, es-pecially when the house needscosmetic or other repairs.
› Generous “seller contribu-tion” limits of up to 6 percent ofthe price, effectively reducing thecash you’ll need to pay closingcosts.
› No requirement for mortgageinsurance coverage, despite thehigh loan-to-value ratio.
› Credit scoreminimum of 660,compared to the700-plus scoresmany lenders de-mand for conven-tional loans on fa-vorable terms.
› Maximumloan amounts tiedto standard con-ventional loan limits: $729,750 inthe highest-cost markets,$625,500 in others, and $417,000everywhere else.
Who is offering such an un-usual package of come-ons in anera of stringent underwriting re-quirements? It’s Fannie Mae, themortgage investment giant thatgot into trouble when the housingbubble burst and is bleeding redink under federal conservator-ship. Fannie is saddled with aportfolio of tens of thousands offoreclosed homes. It needs to sell
those houses, is willing to financetheir transfer to new owners, andhas come up with a program itcalls HomePath to do so. In re-
cent weeks,HomePath loanshave been rolledout throughmortgage brokersand a network of50 lenders, so it’sprobably availablein your area.
The basics:HomePath is restricted to FannieMae foreclosure holdings. Thelistings can be viewed by state atwww.HomePath.com. Partici-pating real estate brokers are list-ed; Fannie Mae will only entertainoffers that come through thosebrokers.
Most properties are open tobids from owner-occupantbuyers and investors, but somedesignated “First Look” are re-served for bids from owner-oc-cupants during the first 15 daysafter listing.
There are two main optionswith HomePath: mortgage fi-nancing to buy the house “as is”;and “renovation” financing,where Fannie loans additionalamounts for “light to moderate”fix-ups, such as a roof repair orreplacing a heat-and-air system.
Standard HomePath listingsare in “move-in condition,” ac-cording to Fannie. That is, thecompany has inspected them,performed at least cosmetic re-pairs as needed and determinedthem to be structurally soundwith no code violations and allsystems in working order.
Listings eligible for renovationfinancing generally require somework to be funded through add-on amounts to the mortgage thatare held in escrow by the lenderafter closing and disbursed as re-pairs are completed during thesucceeding six months. Maxi-mum rehab amount is $30,000 or20 percent of the projected “ascompleted” value of the house.
Interest rates on both options
are slightly higher than prevailingconventional or FHA-insuredloan rates. Peter Boutell, co-owner of Santa Cruz Home Fi-nance in California, said that inmid-August, when 30-year fixedrates on owner-occupied homeloans dropped to 4 3/8 percent,applicants making less than 20percent down payments were re-quired to pay mortgage insurancepremiums that pushed their ef-fective rate to about 4 7/8 per-cent. At that time, HomePathloans with 5 percent down pay-ments were available at 5 1/8 per-cent.
Are there potential downsidesto HomePath? Yes. Though Fan-nie Mae said it owns foreclosedhouses in a wide variety of neigh-borhoods, mortgage brokers saythey are more likely to be found inlower- to moderate-priced areasthat took deeper hits when thehousing market unraveled.
