Neighborhood Watch
Sky Country has come together as a community to form a neighborhood watch in our community. We
had a meeting earlier this January and all came up with brilliant ideas for the neighborhood watch.
Here is some quick pointer on how to be a vigilant neighbor.

•BE OBSERVANT REPORT ANYTHING SUSPICIOUS
•Jurupa Valley Sheriff’s Department (Non-Emergency Number) 951-776-1099
• Get to know your neighbors
•Keep all your doors and windows locked
•Great deterrents install and alarm, security cameras, sensor lights, dogs
•Keep your outdoor lights on at night
•Retrieve your mail on a daily basis
•Write down the license number of suspicious vehicles to give to the police if is necessary only if you can do it safely, take pictures. •Do not be afraid to contact the Sheriff Department to investigate suspicious circumstances, unusual people or strange noise. It
is better to be safe than sorry.
•Park your cars or trucks in reverse to deter the theft of your tailgate

Is This the Year to Move Up to Your Dream Home? If So, Do it Early

It appears that #Americans are regaining faith in the #U.S. #economy. The following indexes have each shown a dramatic jump in consumer confidence in their latest surveys:

1. The #University of #Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index
2. National Federation of Independent Businesses' Small Business Optimism Index
3. CNBC All-America Economic Survey
4. The Conference Board Consumer Confidence Survey

It usually means good news for the #housing #market when the #country sees an optimistic #future. People begin to dream again about the home their #family has always wanted, and some make plans to finally make that #dream come true.

If you are considering moving up to your #dream #home, it may be better to do it earlier in the year than later. The two components of your monthly mortgage payment (home prices and interest rates) are both projected to increase as the year moves forward, and interest rates may increase rather dramatically. Here are some predictions on where rates will be by the end of the year:

HSH.com:

“We think that conforming 30-year fixed rates probably make it into the 4.625 percent to 4.75 percent range at some point during 2017 as a peak.”

Svenja Gudell, Zillow’s Chief Economist:

“I wouldn’t be surprised if the 30-year fixed mortgage rate hits 4.75 percent.”

Mark Fleming, the Chief Economist at First American:

“[I see] mortgage rates getting much closer to 5 percent at the end of next year.”

Lawrence Yun, NAR Chief Economist:

“By this time next year, expect the 30-year fixed rate to likely be in the 4.5 percent to 5 percent range.”

Bottom Line

If you are feeling good about your family’s #economic #future and are #considering making a move to your dream home, doing it sooner rather than later makes the most sense.

Think All Millennials Live in Their Parent's Basement? Think Again!

According to the Census Bureau, #millennials have overtaken #baby #boomers as the largest generation in U.S. History. #Millennials, or America's youth born between 1982-2000, now represent more than one quarter of the nation’s population, totaling 83.1 million.

There has been a lot of talk about how, as a #generation, #millennials have ‘failed to launch’ into adulthood and have delayed moving out of their family’s home. Some experts have even questioned whether or not #millennials want to move out.

The great news is that not only do #millennials want to move out… they are moving out! The National Association of Realtors (NAR)recently released their 2016 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers in which they revealed that 61% of all first-time homebuyers were millennials in 2015!  

The median age of all first-time buyers in 2015 was 31 years old. 

Here is chart showing the breakdown by age:

Many social factors have contributed to millennials waiting to buy their first home. The latest Census results show that the median age of Americans at the time of their first marriage has increased significantly over the last 60 years, from 23 for men & 20 for women in 1955, to 29 & 27, respectively, in 2015.

Those who went to #college and took out student loans are finally paying them off, as the terms on traditional student loans are 10 years. This means that a large portion of the generation is making its last loan payments and is working toward saving for a first home.

As a whole, the first-time #homebuyer share increased to 35% of all #buyers, up from 32% in 2014. Not all #millennials are first-time #buyers, they also made up 12% of all repeat buyers!

Bottom Line

Millennials will continue to drive the #housing market next year, as well as in the years to come. As more and more realize that owning a home is within their grasp, they will flock to own their piece of the American Dream. Are you ready to buy your first or even second home?

Thinking of Selling? Don’t Overlook an Outdated Kitchen, Buyers Won’t

If you are planning on listing your home for sale, make sure that you don’t overlook the condition of your kitchen. A recent article on realtor.com listed “7 Signs Your Kitchen Is Way Overdue for a Renovation,” in which they warned:

“Dated kitchens—just like bathrooms—are a major barrier for resale. Buyers want modern amenities and styling, and most aren’t interested in renovating post-purchase.”

Kitchen remodels can be pricey, with many complete remodels costing $20,000 or more. But not every kitchen needs a full remodel. There are many smaller projects that will help buyers see themselves trying their favorite Pinterest recipe in your home!

Here are a couple of project ideas that, if you’re handy or know someone who is, could end up boosting your home’s value without breaking the bank:

• Are the cabinets in good shape but need an update? A new coat of paint and some updated hardware will instantly freshen up the space and drastically change the feel of the room all for under $300.
• A new backsplash to match the freshly painted cabinets updates the space and adds some style while staying under $200, depending on the size of the room.
• If the kitchen seems dark, consider adding LED under cabinet lighting for around $40.
• If replacing the countertops in the kitchen isn’t within your budget, consider using a top coat to cover the current countertops.

If you decide to complete a full remodel of your outdated kitchen, you can expect a 67% return on a $30,000 upgrade (the national median cost). The benefits of a kitchen remodel aren’t purely financial, according to Houselogic:

“Eighty-two percent of homeowners said their updated kitchen gave them a greater desire to be at home, and 95% were happy or satisfied with the result.”

Bottom Line

Kitchens and bathrooms are often make or break for buyers when touring a home or searching through photo galleries online. Let’s get together to identify which small projects could pay off big!

Building Your Families Wealth Over The Next 5 years

Over the next five years, home prices are expected to appreciate 3.24% per year on average and to grow by 21.4% cumulatively, according to Pulsenomics’ most recent Home Price Expectation Survey.

So, what does this mean for homeowners and their equity position?

As an example, let’s assume a young couple purchases and closes on a $250,000 home in January. If we look at only the projected increase in the price of that home, how much equity will they earn over the next 5 years?

Since the experts predict that home prices will increase by 4.0% this year alone, the young homeowners will have gained over $10,000 in equity in just one year.

Over a five-year period, their equity will increase by over $43,000! This figure does not even take into account their monthly principal mortgage payments. In many cases, home equity is one of the largest portions of a family’s overall net worth.

Bottom Line

Not only is homeownership something to be proud of, but it also offers you and your family the ability to build equity you can borrow against in the future. If you are ready and willing to buy, let’s get together to find out if you are able to, today!
