Builders' Confidence Falls in March

Home builders' confidence took a hit in March, according to a members' survey by their trade group conducted amid growing reports of problems in the subprime mortgage market.

The National Association of Home Builders' survey showed that the group's confidence index fell to 36 in March from a 39 reading in February. The February reading was also revised lower.

It was the first decline in the index since it fell to a 15-year low of 30 in September.

"Builders are uncertain about the consequences of tightening mortgage lending standards for their home sales down the line, and some are already seeing effects of the subprime shakeout on current sales activity," said a statement from David Seiders, chief economist for the trade group.

Cheap Home Insurance  

Most every homeowner agrees that a reliable home insurance policy is a priority.  We present a few ways on how to obtain sufficient homeowner's insurance without spending a fortune.  

1. It always pays to spend some time shopping around. The easiest way is to access the Internet and check different rates of homeowner's insurance companies.  For best results, you should compare the insurance quotes of at least three different insurance companies.  

2. Some companies offer a discount of 30-45 % if you purchase a policy online.  

3. One can benefit from discounts if he/she purchases a house and contents insurance policy. Insuring a house and a car by the same insurer may substantially lower your insurance rate.  

4. A homebuyer should be aware of the replacement values of the home. It is advisable to obtain replacement value coverage.  

5. Keep in mind the inflation rate when the time comes to renew your insurance policy.  Many insurance companies automatically adjust your coverage to allow for inflation.  Check with your insurance policy to be sure.

How Much Home Can You Afford?

An experienced homeowner knows the price of the house is not the only cost to consider when buying a new home.  Here we present other additional costs that will help any future buyer to assess how much house he/she can afford:

• Utility Payments ­
  A homebuyer can always ask a seller to show him some recent utility bills.  Although every family uses utilities in its own way, the recent bill always gives a homebuyer an idea about his/her future payments.

• Up-front Costs Appraisal Fee ­
  If requested by your mortgage company you will need to have an appraisal done on the property you plan to buy. Cost: Approximately $300

• Deposit
  If you offer to purchase a property you may need to put down a deposit.  Cost: around 5% of the purchase price

• Down Payment ­
  Conventional mortgages vary, but most usually require 10-20% of the purchase price.

• Home Inspection ­
  The price of the house inspection depends on the size of the house.  Cost: usually between $300 and $500.

•  Legal Fees and Disbursements ­
  This fee is usually paid at closing. Cost: Approximately $500

• Property Insurance
  It is paid to cover the costs of replacing the structure. It protects the homeowner and the mortgage lender, since the property is security for the mortgage.

• Property Survey ­
  May be required by the mortgage lender. Cost: Approximately $300

Other costs are: gardening equipment, decorating materials, moving expenses, hookup fees, window treatments.

Before deciding how much house you can afford consider all the costs above to avoid ending up “house poor” and enjoy living in your new home.

Making a Home Less of a Fire Hazard

Many homeowners lose their houses due to fire each year. In some of the cases it could have been avoided. There are a few issues every homeowner should keep in mind in order to make his house less of a fire hazard.  

Every homeowner should make sure the wiring in his house is up to code.  It is recommended to ask a professional to check the wiring in your house.  

Another way to prevent your house from catching fire is to make sure all the items that don't work properly are unplugged.  At the same time, all items that work properly, such as heaters or irons, should not be left plugged in and unattended.  

Last but not least, it is advisable that every floor in a house should have at least two smoke detectors. The battery used by smoke detectors should be replaced at least every two years so you can be certain they always work properly.
