Have you noticed that your home is looking a little worn and in need of repairs? With material prices holding steady, expanded energy-efficiency tax credits and a skilled supply of professional remodelers, now is the perfect time to remodel! By incorporating some changes, you can improve the beauty and comfort of your home and increase its value at the same time. Consider these remodeling suggestions: Replace home siding. New siding revitalizes a home’s exterior and can also solve pesky draft problems. Quality siding can improve insulation; reduce noise; resist damage from moisture, fire, insects, and other natural elements; and is easier to maintain. A 2008 Cost vs. Value Report from Remodeling magazine found that siding is a top choice in home investment as it yields an 81 percent expense recovery. Install new windows. Improve your view and lower your energy bill. New windows are easier to maintain because they require less cleaning and reduce costly air infiltration - saving on your heating and cooling bills. New windows may be impact resistant, repel dirt and water spotting, and come with coatings that prevent heat loss or gain. Windows and other projects also qualify for the expanded federal energy efficiency tax credit. Repair or replace the roof. Choose from a multitude of options to save energy, and stay warm and dry during the wintry months. Also consider new green roofing options, such as incorporating vegetation on the roof to collect rain and conserve energy, or adding reflective surfaces to keep the roof from retaining the sun’s heat. Update the kitchen cabinets and sink. You can modernize your kitchen without the effort of a complete kitchen renovation. New cabinetry and sinks improve kitchen appearance, enhance the use of your kitchen and also allows the homeowner to recoup 80 percent of the investment when they look to resell. Refresh the bathroom or add a new one. Just adding new cabinets, a sink, flooring or a tub can revitalize the bathroom and make it a quiet refuge for pampering. Or, adding a half bath can increase home value 10.5 percent and a full bath 20 percent, according to a National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) analysis of data from the American Housing Survey. Add a deck or porch. Expanding your outdoor living space with an area to entertain friends and family or for weekend relaxation is a popular remodeling project. A survey of remodelers has shown an increased number of calls for outdoor remodeling work, with 52 percent adding decks, 35 percent building porches, and 25 percent installing patios. Adding a wood deck to a home returns 82 percent of the investment and expands your outdoor entertaining space.

By Troy Libbra, CGP - Chairman, Green Building Council, Home Builders Association of Greater Southwest Illinois C onsumer interest has grown significantly over the years for homes that offer energy-efficiency and cost-savings - that also have minimal environmental impact on the earth. But will they pay for it? According to a recent survey of more than 500 builders by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB), the answer is, not necessarily. “Although we are seeing significant interest in green building, cost effectiveness is clearly a key concern among home buyers,” said NAHB Chairman Joe Robson, a home builder and developer in Tulsa, Okla. “Builders said that among buyers who are willing to pay more for green features, more than half - 57 percent - are unlikely to pay more than an additional two percent.” Home owners are feeling the pinch of the recession and are much more careful about their spending choices. They can’t afford everything they want to do to green their homes, so they are picking and choosing ways that will provide benefits that also fit into their budgets. If you would like to incorporate a few green features into your home, it is best to contact a Certified Green Professional (CGP) in your area who can determine the best choices based on where you live. You can find a local green building or remodeling expert by visiting www.hbaswil.org/green.php. Although it is best to talk to a trained builder or remodeler, here are two quick ways to help you get the best green bang for your buck. Insulation - Improving the insulation in your attic is one of the easiest ways to realize immediate benefits. Adding insulation will help save energy costs, increase comfort by better controlling temperature, and improve indoor air quality by eliminating many gaps through which dirt, dust, and other impurities can enter. When choosing insulation, the higher the R-grade, the better. Tankless Water Heaters save energy by heating water only when needed and are comparable in cost to traditional gas water heaters but are 30 percent more efficient, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. In addition to the energy savings these two improvements contribute, home owners can see additional savings through tax credits available from Uncle Sam. The Existing Home Retrofit Tax Credit provides a return of 30 percent of the cost of certain products - such as water heaters and insulation - up to a $1,500 total cap for 2009 and 2010.

Contact your local home builders association (618) 343-6331 to get recommendations on upgrades suitable for your area or to find a local builder or remodeler that can help get you started on your way to a greener home.

The $8,000 first-time home buyer and $6,500 repeat buyer tax credits have inspired millions of Americans to buy homes. But the window of opportunity to take advantage of those tax credits is quickly running out—they expire on April 30, 2010. There’s no time to waste. But families who are thinking about buying a home may still be able to qualify. The IRS allows buyers who sign a sales contract by the April 30 deadline to still be eligible if they close the sale of the home by June 30, 2010. “Potential buyers shouldn’t give up,” said Mark Vogt, president of the Home Builders Association of Greater Southwest IL. “There are still plenty of homes on the market in Greater Southwest Illinois, including existing homes and - even though the inventory of move-in ready newly constructed homes has dwindled - builders may still be able complete a home in time.” The National Association of Home Builders estimates that with the expansion and extension of the housing tax credits, close to 70 percent of all potential home buyers could qualify for some form of the current credits. Many people may think they don’t qualify for a housing tax credit when in fact they might, so it is important to understand how the IRS defines the eligibility criteria for the credits as well. For example, if you owned and sold a home many years ago, you may still qualify for the $8,000 first-time home buyer credit. The IRS defines “first-time buyer” as someone who has not owned a home in just the past three years. Or, if you sold your home a year ago, but you owned and lived in it for at least five consecutive years out of the past eight, you may still be eligible for the $6,500 repeat buyer credit if you buy a new principal residence before the deadline. Finally, the income limits of previous housing tax credits excluded many buyers in higher cost of living areas. But the current credits increased those limits, enabling single taxpayers with incomes up to $125,000 and married couples earning up to $225,000 to potentially qualify for the full credit. Partial credits may be available to home buyers earning up to $20,000 more than those limits. If you’ve been considering buying a home for any reason, the new tax credits—combined with interest rates that are hovering at historically low levels and competitive home prices—make it an ideal time to buy. To learn if you may be eligible for a housing tax credit, go to www. federalhousingtaxcredit.com. The site also provides other helpful information including the new documentation requirements for the tax credit, detailed question and answer sections, and links to additional home-buying resources.
