RISMEDIA, June 26, 2009-(MCT)-They’ve been dubbed “jewel-box houses” – small homes designed with top-quality materials, upscale detailing and custom built-ins.
Tailored to the owners’ way of life, smaller homes suit a variety of demographic groups, including newlyweds, young professionals, empty-nesters and retirees – the last two a fast-growing segment of the population. The current recession, the downturn in the housing market and the emphasis on energy-efficiency all are playing into the jewel-box trend – and are making it increasingly difficult for homeowners to unload “starter castles,” says architect Sarah Susanka, author of “The Not So Big House.”
For the past two decades, dream homes have assumed McMansion proportions, says Stephen Gidus, co-owner of PSG Construction in Orlando, Fla. Now, “downsizing” is the new watchword.
“Homeowners are taking that portion of their budget that would have been used for larger living spaces, and using it for better details in smaller spaces,” says Gidus.
There are signs the housing industry is heeding this trend toward jewel-box homes. Data collected by the National Association of Home Builders in 2008 indicates the average size of a new home in the United States is leveling off at just under 2,500 square feet.
One such jewel-box home belongs to Clifford and Krista Goeller, owners of Badger Welding in Orlando. Designed by Lucia Custom Home Designers and built by PSG Construction, the exterior features the Craftsman styling popular in the early 20th century, complete with a recessed porch, tapered-box columns and fish-scale siding. The interior has a contemporary open floor plan, but is detailed with traditional Craftsman elements such as wood floors with inlaid tile, an oak staircase and a built-in, furniture-grade entertainment center surrounding the fireplace.
The 2,300-square-foot home “suits our lifestyle and our taste,” says Krista Goeller, a transplant from Wisconsin. “Florida houses seem so big and cool and painted. We like the warmth and richness of stained wood. We wanted a cozy house, a house that looks as if it belongs among big old oak trees with moss hanging down.”
Huge houses with hotel-scale foyers, formal dining and living rooms, and vast master suites with spa-style bathrooms are out of sync with the informal way Americans live today, says Susanka. In most homes, the kitchen is the heart, the place where family and friends gather. Americans take quick showers, they don’t luxuriate in soaking tubs. So why not invest in areas we regularly use, and eliminate those that are mostly for show?
Not surprisingly, the home-furnishings industry is attuned to the downsizing trend, says Jackie Hirschhaut, vice president/marketing at the American Home Furnishings Alliance.
Increasingly, manufacturers are making furniture that is smaller and more multipurpose: love seats instead of sofas, expandable dining tables, home-office armoires with fold-down work stations, and compact corner units for big-screen TVs.

RISMEDIA, June 11, 2009-First-time home buyers who would otherwise qualify for the $8,000 tax credit, but don’t have the money for a down payment or closing fees, may now be able to get a loan to help cover those upfront costs.
The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) announced on May 29 that the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) will allow state housing finance agencies to provide second mortgages “monetizing” the tax credit so that borrowers can use the funds toward their down payments and closing costs for the purchase of homes with FHA-insured mortgage loans.
“This is great news for thousands of families who want to take advantage of today’s low interest rates, competitive prices, great selection and the federal tax credit that is only available until Nov. 30, but could not save enough money for a down payment and closing costs,” said National Association of Home Builders Chairman Joe Robson, a home builder from Tulsa, Okla.
HUD also announced that FHA-approved lenders may purchase the tax credit from the home buyer in advance, so that the home buyer can use the funds for closing costs or to make a down payment in addition to the 3.5% minimum. Home buyers who go directly to FHA-approved lenders will still need to come up with the 3.5% minimum down payment that is required for an FHA-insured loan.
Home buyers previously would be able to use the funds from the tax credit only after filing their federal tax returns and had to come up with the pre-purchase costs on their own.
NAHB estimates that 40,000 more homes will be purchased due to the new FHA monetization program, in addition to the 160,000 sales already expected as a result of the tax credit.
The National Council of State Housing Agencies has a list of states offering first time home buyer tax credit loan programs on their website, www.ncsha.org.

The two most asked questions during this time of the year are 1) Should I take my home off the market during the holidays? AND 2) Should I list my house during the holidays?
The Holidays can be a difficult time to have your house shown by Realtors, but it does offer the perfect opportunity to market your home to a new audience.
Lake Norman is a beautiful area to visit during the winter (or any season for that matter). Christmas and New Year’s Guests are abundant in the homes surrounding Lake Norman at this time of year.
With so many visitors, surely a few will be inticed by our mild climate, great schools, and good business opportunities…Not counting great home prices, low interest rates, and fantastic credits that are now available. Many take advantage of longer vacation days during the holidays to go on their house hunting expeditions without losing work days.
All of these reasons, make staying on the market or putting your home on the market during the holidays a good idea!
Playing the role of the seller during the holiday with Realtors attempting to make appointments at difficult times is often a concern. The great thing about CMLS is the use of a showing service. Realtors call this showing service to schedule appts to show your home. When the call comes, if the timing is not perfect then suggest a time that you can work into your winter festivities for a showing.
Do not be concerned about your home being in the perfect state at all times. Christmas decorations in good taste add Charm to a Home and particulary the smells of those great foods and deserts that linger in the air. What a perfect time for a Buyer to see what it is like to call your House..A Home?
With a little help and advice from your Real Estate Professional all of the problems associated with having your home listed during the holidays can be overcome!
Best Wishes on Your House Hunt or Selling Your Home this Holiday Season! Happy Holidays!
I hear plenty of stats from the Media with information on the US, NC, but certainly nothing specifically on the Denver Area.
Century 21 Hecht Realty Inc has the Majority of the Market Share of Closed Transaction in Denver at 17.5% and has led the Denver Market every Month of 2008.
For MLS Areas 13/4 (Denver) & 14/2 (East Lincoln Cty), Inventory is up 7%, while sales are down 51% year over year.
Breaking this information down into price ranges, $250,000 and under is steady and has been a good price range for home sales regardless of what is going on in the economy or media. $250,000 to $500,000 is down 75% year over year. $500,000 and Up is down 17%. The reason for such a small drop in the upper price ranges is due to significant drops over a longer period of time that have already transpired.
Homes are still selling but the use of a Qualified Real Estate Agent and Firm become an absolute necessity. Along with Competitive Pricing and a Perfectly Staged Home are Simply a must.
If selling is not a necessity and you, as the seller, are not completely committed towards selling the home – SELLING NOW is not the time for you.
With complete commitment from all sides, homes are selling. You may not make as much off the sale of your home, but you will find a big savings on your new home purchase plus a low mortgage interest rate.
If you are a first time home buyer or have not made a home sale in the last two years, you will also be able to cash in on the $7500 tax credit and the low mortgage interest rates.
There are lots of positives in the market. Use a Qualified Real Estate Agent to sift through the information and find the best options for you.
These are no longer the days of putting the sign in the yard and the home will sell regardless of your commitment or your Agent’s commitment to the process.
