REAL ESTATE MATTERS
Is tax reform going to kill the housing market? By Ilyce Glink and Samuel J. Tamkin, Tribune Content Agency If you listen to the National Association of Realtors and the National Association of Home Builders, the answer is a resounding yes. On a call with journalists earlier in the week, NAR Senior Policy Representative Evan Liddiard said if tax reform passes in its current form, housing prices could fall between 10 to 30 percent. “This is an outright assault on housing,” Liddiard said. As details of the House and Senate versions of tax reform became clearer, and there are slight variations between the two, there is plenty at stake for homeowners, including: --Eliminating or cutting in half the mortgage interest deduction, from $1 million to $500,000. --Limiting the deductibility of property taxes to the first $10,000 paid. --Eliminating the deduction for second or vacation homes. --Eliminating the deductibility for home equity loans. --Eliminating the deductibility of state and local taxes (now called SALT), which hits high cost/ high tax states (which mostly are “blue”) the hardest. --Dramatic change in the exclusion of profits on sale: Homeowners will have to live in their home as a primary residence for five out of the last eight years in order to keep up to $250,000 in profits tax free (up to $500,000 if you’re married filing jointly) instead of two of the last five years. --Repeal of deductibility of moving expenses. Liddiard estimated that just 5 percent of taxpayers -- “the wealthiest 5 percent” -- will be
able to deduct mortgage interest paid. “By doubling the standard deduction and eliminating all itemized deductions, only 5 to 6 percent of individuals will be able to itemize on their tax returns,” Liddiard explained. Tax reform “makes it so the tax incentive of a property tax deduction and mortgage interest deduction would be meaningless. Owning and renting would be equivalent from a tax perspective. And, since tax incentives are built into today’s prices, they would drop by more than 10 percent in the short run” and up to 30 percent in some high cost areas. And, that might be fine, except that the so-called doubling of the standard deduction doesn’t work as advertised. “Many people aren’t aware of it, but both of these bills repeal the personal exemptions you’re able to take,” Liddiard pointed out. The repeal of personal exemptions is mitigated to a small degree by an increase in child credit. “But many people can’t take advantage of that because older children over the age of 16 in the House bill and 17 in Senate bill don’t qualify. And if you’re in the 25 percent bracket, there’s no benefit from the higher tax credit because you lose more in the exemptions. Larger families will lose even more because they have more dependents. So, they’re going to see tax increases,” he said. Both Liddiard and NAR President Elizabeth Mendenhall said that both the House and Senate bills discriminate against millions of homeowners in the middle income area. “They will get a tax increase,” Mendenhall said. In addition, Liddiard said repealing the deduction of student
loan interest (and taxing an unpaid benefit graduate students receive in the form of tuition) will make it far harder for millennials -- who are just starting to buy their first home -- to save for down payments or qualify for mortgages. Finally, Liddiard said lowering the corporate tax rate will make it less appealing for investors to take advantage of the low income housing tax incentives, leaving the “low income housing community short of what they need to keep up with the units” required. NAR and NAHB representatives have been camping out on the Hill, trying to meet with as many members of Congress as possible. Considering that these two associations have, for years, been considered the toughest lobbying forces in Washington, D.C., passing tax reform would be a resounding defeat. “This is about a very fundamental question: Do we want to be a nation of renters or a country of homeowners?” asked Mendenhall. The House of Representatives passed its version of the tax reform bill on Nov. 16, along strict party lines.

Caring for your
HOLIDAY PLANTS Celebrating the dark days of winter includes bringing in a few houseplants, and stores are filled with holiday foliage. Pick up a poinsettia BY CAROL they’re a treat for O’MEARA the eyes - then look at some of Colorado State University Extension the other festive indoor plants. Small pines, aromatic mini-trees, and flowering cacti are the perfect touch for your décor. When the tag says “bright indirect light,” it means closely in front of, but not touching, an east or west facing window or one foot away from a south facing window. For direct light, place it closer to the south window. For longest bloom, keep in a cool room, with nighttime temperatures of 55 to 60 degrees; during the day, set the thermostat between 65 and 68. Cooler temps will keep blooms lasting longer. Feed with a balanced fertilizer. Most houseplant food is 20-2020, but many winter bloomers only need a half-strength solution until later in spring, when robust growth starts up again. Check the tag for instructions before dosing the plant with too much fertilizer. Then follow these quick tips for different plants:
FEED: April through June, use half-strength fertilizer twice per month. Feed monthly for the rest of the year. TIP: For healthy, bright foliage, mist with water twice per week for healthy, bright foliage. WHAT: Christmas pepper (Capsicum spp.). HOW: Moist soil and full sun keeps the foliage lasting, but for glossy, plump fruit, place this plant in a room with cool temperatures. This annual is finished when all the fruit drops off, so compost it when the display is over. TIP: If the oils from handling get into eyes or on skin, they can be irritating. Choose a visible but out of the way area for this plant to keep kids and pets safe. WHAT: Amaryllis (Hippeastrum spp.).

rounded “teeth” on the leaves (Thanksgiving cacti have pointed teeth).
WHAT: Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) plants are small, evergreen, aromatic, edible additions to your home. Resembling small fir trees, the dark green foliage is used in cooking.
LOCATION: Rosemary prefers a cool, sunny location with high humidity; place them on pebble filled saucers filled with water to increase moisture around the plant. Frequent misting is also helpful. Keep the soil on the dry side and water once the soil is dry to the depth of your first finger knuckle.
HOW: During bloom, keep in bright, indirect light in a cool room and let dry slightly between watering. If the leaves wrinkle and flowers fall, the plant is too dry or too warm.
HOW: In stores, rosemary is often root-bound, so if you want to keep them long after the holidays, transplant them into a pot at least twice as big as soon as you get them home. Use light, loose, potting soil, then soak the
WHAT: Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera bridgesii), a succulent, can be told apart from its cousin, the Thanksgiving cactus (Schlumbergera truncata), by its

FEED: Once bloom is finished, fertilize once per month from April through October. WHAT: Norfolk Island pines (Araucaria heterophylla), are small evergreens with soft foliage. HOW: These little trees, native to the South Pacific, will not survive
Loveland Reporter-Herald – AtHomeColorado.com
HOW: Choose a spot with bright, indirect light and keep the soil moist but not soggy. Deadhead spent flowers soon after they fade, and continue to care for the bulb after blooming is finished – Amaryllis will rebloom year after year. FEED: After the shoot appears from the bulb, feed twice per month.

REAL ESTATE
Reasons to buy a home during the holidays there are a few things to consider. Buying during the holidays can actually be a plus. Here’s why. Less Competition Although there may be fewer listings for sale right now, there are also fewer buyers to compete for those listings. The market has been hot lately, so fewer buyers is certainly bonus. Multiple offer scenarios often drive up home prices. Therefore, avoiding that situation can help you get a better price on your home.
SUZANNE PLEWES RE/MAX Alliance
If you’re debating whether to continue your home search now or wait until the Spring,
Motivated Sellers Anyone attempting to sell their home at this time of year is likely motivated to sell. Otherwise, they would probably wait until Spring. What does this mean for you as a buyer? You will be more successful in negotiating price and other terms. Tax Advantages Although your first mortgage payment may not be until next year, some closing costs may be
tax deductible. Examples are prepaid interest (from the closing date through the end of the month), prorated property taxes, and points. If these items make the difference between you taking the standard deduction or itemizing deductions, it could save you significant money. Interest Rates Remain Low You’ve probably heard more than once that interest rates are on the rise. Fortunately, the rise thus far this year have been moderate. That could change next year. Therefore, buying a home during the holidays can help you lock in a lower interest rate than what you may receive if you wait to buy a home. Quicker Closings With reduced sales during the holidays, lenders have fewer loans to process. This means that your loan may move more quickly through underwriting and close sooner. If a quick closing is
desirable, then the holidays and winter months are a great time to buy. Summary There has always been a perception that the holidays are not a good time to buy. That is certainly not true when you consider the benefits of buying during the holidays. If you need to buy a home, there’s no reason to wait until spring. Review current home listings and take advantage of the benefits of buying during the holidays. —————————————— Suzanne Plewes is a broker associate at RE/MAX Alliance. Write to 750 W.

Homes that make a good first impression have 5 things in common
A clean and welcoming entryway is crucial in leaving a good first impression. (Dreamstime)
By Sophie Miura, Domaine (TNS) It takes just 26 seconds for a guest to form an opinion of your home when they walk through the front door. While we try to resist the urge to judge, there’s no doubt that first impressions count. Whether you’re expecting guests or you’re hoping to transform your spare room into a rental, experts agree there are five key areas that friends notice first about your house. Thankfully, it takes minutes to correct them. Here, Miranda Cresswell, brand director at OneFineStay, and Ariel Kaye, CEO of Parachute and the newly opened Parachute Hotel, explain the most effective ways to update your home before guests arrive. Got five minutes to spare? Make these simple changes for a home that makes a lasting impression. A STYLED ENTRYWAY “A clean and welcoming entryway is crucial in leaving a good first impression — it’s the first thing a guest sees!” says Cresswell. When transforming a home into a OneFineStay property, she says it’s crucial that the entrance introduces a design
theme. “A good first impression — that moment when a guest’s breath is taken away — comes from stepping into a home with striking, deliberate design,” she says. “Think bright, organized and neutral. There’s a place for the eclectic or quirky, but the entryway is not that place.” Instant fix: If you don’t have time to restyle your entryway, Cresswell says updating wall decor is a simple way to unify the space. “Rather than cobbling a bunch of different frames or odds and ends together, choose a few specific things that pair perfectly. A precisely placed mirror can make a space look much bigger and brighter.” AN UPLIFTING SCENT If you only pay attention to the look of your home, you’re missing one of the most important factors that influence guests: fragrance. “Scent can be one of the most immediate factors in making a first impression, and it is often overlooked,” says Cresswell. A Trulia study suggests it could also increase the value of your home; 30 percent of real estate agents said scent was the single most important sense during an open house and named vanilla and fresh scents as the most popular among house hunters. Instant fix: Light a vanilla or citrus candle in the living room or near the entrance to infuse your home with an uplifting scent. If you’re turning your home into a rental, be sure to use a tall lantern to shield the open flame. “Flowers always add an elegant
attention to lighting. A carefully chosen floor lamp with the right colored bulb can subtly change the intensity of paint and is a perfect way to make a slate-gray room feel bright and fresh.
but subtle fragrance, and baking cookies is another great way to get a welcoming air on arrival,” says Cresswell. A LACK OF CLUTTER It’s time to address that discarded pile of magazines or strewn shoes — when it comes to first impressions, clutter counts. 73 percent of real estate agents said cleanliness is the most important sight-based feature during a viewing. “A foyer should have absolutely no clutter,” says Cresswell. “Everything, from decorative knickknacks to practical things like shoes, should have a designated place. Keys should be hung neatly on a key rack, and shoes should have a rack or boot tray. As for cleanliness, dusting and vacuuming go a long way.” Instant fix: Use decorative baskets to mask mess. Position them by the doorway, under a coffee table, or beside a sofa to fake a cleaner-looking home without removing any items.
THOUGHTFUL TOUCHES To turn a good first impression into a lasting one, Kaye says personal touches matter most. “A well-made bed is the most important thing you can offer your guests. It is the key to making your visitors feel completely comfortable, cozy, and relaxed!” When creating the brand’s first-ever hotel, Kaye channeled five-star vibes with a few expert touches. “You should always provide at least two pillows of varying firmness per guest and dedicate a few sets of towels and sheets for guest use only. This will allow them to last longer than if you added them to your daily rotation of linens.” Instant fix: Caught off-guard by unexpected guests? Try this hotelapproved towel folding method for a thoughtful guestroom touch. “First, lay the towel flat on a surface, and smooth out any wrinkles. Then, starting with the long side of the towel, fold the length in thirds,” says Kaye. “Grasp the short side, and fold the towel in half. Repeat this step,” and you should be left with a neat square. ——— Get the latest on home decor trends, design ideas, shopping guides and food news, and take a look inside your favorite celebrity homes on DomaineHome.com.
WHITE PAINT The color you choose to paint your home can have a big impact on its value. A report by Zillow Digs found that slate gray was among the most disliked colors among guests and cut the value of a home by over $1000. If you’re painting a guest room, real estate agents told Trulia that white, ivory, and eggshell are the most appealing shades to create an inviting space. Instant fix: If repainting your home isn’t an option, pay

My winter love letter to plaid By Mary Carol Garrity Tribune News Service (TNS) This is my warm and happy place: snuggled under a plaid throw blanket, a steaming cup of coffee in my hands, winter held at bay outside my cottage doors. In my house, it’s plaid season. Someone asked me once if I was ever going to get over my obsession with plaid. Nope. Plaid is the fabric of my life. It connects me to my roots, my family, my childhood. It is the classic Pendleton jackets we sold in my parents’ clothing store in Atchison, Kan. It is the skirt I donned daily in Catholic school (which I always tried to roll up, scandalously short, much to the Sisters’ chagrin). It’s the pillows in the corner of the sofa where I read a story. It’s the bedding I designed for my mom, who lived in the cottage next door for a few precious months at the end of her life. Mom’s small, cream guest room needed a focal point, and a black watch plaid headboard was just
the thing. I added in a mix of menswear fabric pillows in glen plaid, velvet and paisley. Bright white bedding balances the dark, rich fabrics, giving the bed a fresh, classic finish. I love how it turned out. Each plaid pattern has its own personality and evokes a unique mood. For me, Stuart plaid is the fabric of Christmas, rich and regal and emanating joy. Watch plaid is the warm layer of pillows on my bed, irresistible after a long day of work. Timeless, classic, sophisticated, fun... plaid will always be a celebrated part of my home. Like any pattern, you can definitely go too far with plaid. So I am a careful curator, partnering it with a mix of menswear fabrics, like paisley, herringbone, pinstripe and hound’s tooth check. You can glam it up by adding in decadent velvet pillows, then enrich the story with a touch of toile or leather. Plaid blankets add a splash of winter color, rested neatly over the arm of a sofa or draped messily over the corner of a chair.
I keep a blanket within arm’s reach everywhere in our cottage, my choice cocoon against the winter chill until the jonquils bloom again. We have a spoiled golden retriever and two cats who believe our furniture was brought in just for their napping pleasure. Instead of fighting a losing battle, shooing them off over and over again, I now cover my upholstered furniture with washable plaid blankets to protect it from all that

pet hair. In the summer, when it’s time to say goodbye to my plaid, I can’t lock it away in a cabinet. My hearts still needs to see the happy patterns and colors. So I stack my throw blankets atop old baskets next to our hearth, where they wait for plaid season to come once again. This column was adapted from Mary Carol Garrity’s blog at nellhills.com.
