Homebuying advice

OverlOOked “must Haves”

There Are Some ThingS miSSing from your new home Shopping liST of “muST hAveS.” And They Should be deAl breAkerS.

a new home, we are all different. We have different ideas and individual preferences about size, floor plan design, interior colors and textures, and the ideal home exterior. We carry this mental list of “must have” items as we shop for a home, but almost everyone forgets to include two items that are more important than all the other “must-have items” put together. Not only that, these two items should be—without exception—important to everyone. So what are they? hen it comes to choosing

Can you guess what these two things are? No, they have nothing to do with where the home is located, or if the community is gated, or if the rooms are spacious. The two items also have nothing to do with the luxurious granite countertops or designer ceilings and all the other “lipstick” touches in the home that homebuyers tend to focus on. Here’s a hint: while most of the items on a homebuyer’s wish list are visible, the two most important ones are not. Here’s another hint: most homebuyers assume the two things are a “given,” in other words, that they are already included in the home. Give up? Okay—the two items most homebuyers assume they are getting when they are buying a new home are— comfort and energy efficiency. Think about it. The single most important quality of your new home—its comfort— is not even discussed before you buy a home! And you won’t find out how energy efficient your new home is until you move in and get your first bill. How ridiculous is that? It is very possible that home comfort and energy efficiency are not on a homebuyer’s wish list, and perhaps, home shoppers don’t ask builders about them 8

Volume 25.3 2017

because, let’s be honest—no builder would answer those questions with, “No, my homes aren’t comfortable or energy efficient.” The problem is, and this is very important--if you don’t have interior comfort and energy efficiency, you don’t have quality construction. And if you don’t have quality construction, aside from a sticky, humid interior, your home will have a shorter lifespan, require more repairs, and may end up in a poor condition with a lower resale value. So how can you be sure that your new home will be comfortable and energy efficient? First, don’t take anyone’s word for it. Get a written guarantee from a third party—preferably from a RESNET certified home energy rater who has a provider overseeing his work. Otherwise, your inspector has no supervision, and that’s not always good. The best recommendation is to look for a home with a BUILT TO SAVE™ certification. Builders who certify homes in the BUILT TO SAVE™ program have their homes inspected by a RESNET certified home energy rater before the sheetrock goes on and tested once the home is complete using specialized equipment and software to accurately predict a home’s energy efficiency.

For advertising call (956) 971-9700

What about the home’s comfort, you ask? Well, as part of the BUILT TO SAVE™ requirements, the heating and cooling load calculations are matched to the exact specifications of the home: orientation, size, number of rooms, number of occupants, plus more, to make sure the AC system is sized right for a comfortable room-to-room interior (See page 28) for the importance of a properlysized cooling system. A home that is certified in the BUILT TO SAVE™ program is awarded a certificate signed by the home energy inspector. The builder gives the certificate to the homebuyer as proof that the home will be more comfortable, and more energy efficient, than a similar home built to code. Other benefits include better indoor air quality, better durability, and traditionally better resale value. The BUILT TO SAVE™ certificate becomes invaluable years later when it is possible that no one may be around to vouch for the home’s superior construction. There’s actually a third item hardly anyone talks about, and it could be a huge legal issue in the future. That third, little-talked-about item is whether or not the home was built to the current code requirements. Since not all municipalities have the same requirements, it is sometimes difficult to know what is required for code compliance. What makes it even more complicated is that Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed into law HB 1736 requiring the adoption of the 2015 International Residential Code (IRC) Chapter 11 (with some modifications). All local jurisdictions have been obligated to comply with the new code laws beginning September 1, 2016. This is where it gets tricky. Just because a city code official is not enforcing the law—namely, 2015 IRC as required by Texas HB 1736, that doesn’t mean that the builder is not responsible for complying with the law. As a home buyer, you should be aware that homes with permits after September 1, 2016, require a blower door test and a duct leakage test unless the entire A/C system is in conditioned space as outlined in the 2015 code. Just because a city is not requiring these tests from the builder, doesn’t mean it is okay to not do them. The tests are designed to predict a home’s energy efficiency and air tightness. Keep in mind that we are talking about minimum code laws— that is, laws that have only “minimum” standards as their goals for compliance. If you are interested in homes with superior construction that are built to “above code,” visit www.builttosave.org or see the inside cover for more information on the BUILT TO SAVE™ program.

Quality Built Homes

WHAT IS A QUALITY-BUILT HOME? AND HOW DO YOU KNOW IF YOURS IS ONE?

nce new homes are completed and are open for showing, it may be too late to know for sure if they are qualitybuilt homes. Yes, you will be able to see the finishes of the home, and you will be able to see differences from home to home in details like enhanced materials, and luxury touches like granite countertops, designer ceilings, and showcase light fixtures. But the measure of real quality is whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behind the walls. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what you should ask about.

“The measure of real quality is what’s behind the walls.” schedule. It would be good to ask if a qualified engineer certified the cement mixture and foundation pouring. The Framing STage

The FoundaTion STage

The foundation is the most critical part of your home because any mistakes made at this point will only get worse as construction progresses. Adding more rebar to the slab may be worth the extra cost because if the foundation fails, it will be costly to repair. Make sure that the proper time was given to let the cement cure and that it wasn’t cut short to accelerate the production

This stage is when you begin to see the shell or the skeleton of the home, including walls and roof. There are some areas of the home that require treated wood according to code. Pressure treated wood should be used all the way around the exterior walls where wood rests on the foundation. The reason is that cement absorbs water and over time, if not treated, the wood will absorb that water, creating mold and other water damage issues. Some builders ignore using treated wood where it rests on the foundation in interior walls to save money even though the same principle of water moisture applies. If plywood or oriented strand board (OSB) sheeting is applied to the exterior walls of the home, look to see if it rests on the foundation where water can accumulate after a rain. It shouldn’t because it will soak up water like a sponge.

What about the roof decking? Did your builder use radiant barrier decking which reduces attic temperatures by about 30% and costs only a couple of dollars more per sheet— paying for itself in less than one year with utility savings?

Find out if your home is in an area in Texas that requires windstorm inspections. If it is, the framing stage will have to follow more stringent requirements. The purpose of a windstorm inspection is to determine if the home’s construction can withstand strong winds, such as those present in a hurricane. rough Plumbing and elecTrical

After the framing and roofing is complete, plumbers and electricians come in to put in pipes and wires. Many holes will be drilled into the studs. In a home that will be completely insulated with spray foam, filling those holes with a can of spray foam is not that important here, but if your builder is using batt or other fiberglass insulating material, it is critical that those holes be covered up. The same goes for receptacles for outlets, light fixtures, and switches. All those small holes and cracks add up to huge costs in energy bills and add to the discomfort of your home. heaTing & cooling SySTemS and ducTwork

Your air conditioning system should be sized correctly for the size of your home (see page 28). It should be customized for the square footage, the number of rooms, the number of windows, and so on. This is a mathematical problem that requires figuring out what the load calculations are and then deciding what unit is the right size and type for your home. The ductwork should also be designed and tested to make sure it supplies the right pressures to ensure room-toroom comfort throughout the home. Sounds logical, right? You would be surprised how many contractors oversize the AC unit using the “bigger is better” concept.

in your new home is not as important as whether or not it was installed properly. The most expensive insulation is spray foam, but it is one of the best along with Insulated Concrete Forms. Spray foam is also more forgiving in its installation since it covers even the smallest holes. Batt and other fiberglass insulation is less expensive but it requires more work—like splitting the insulation to put part of it on the back side of the electrical wire along a wall and the other in front, or cutting it to fit around electrical receptacles. That way, the insulation retains its shape—and its R-value. It’s sad, but not everyone installs insulation that way because it takes too long to do it right. So how do you know iF your home waS QualiTy builT?

If you were not present when the above phases of construction were performed to see for yourself, you have two choices: (1) take the builder’s word for it, or (2) look for the BUILT TO SAVE™ certification. A home with a BUILT TO SAVE™ certification has been inspected (during construction) and tested (after completion) by a third-party home energy rater licensed by the Residential Energy Services Network. You can be sure that your home was not only quality built, but you will also be sure that it will outperform a similar home built to code by providing more energy efficiency, more comfort, better durability, tighter construction, cleaner indoor air, and a better resale value. You’ll have a BUILT TO SAVE™ certificate in your hands to prove it. See the inside cover of this publication for a list of BUILT TO SAVE™ builders, or visit www.builttosave.org for more information.

a pattern of this, your interest rate may be raised. REDUCE YOUR CREDIT CARD BALANCES

WHAT’S YOUR SCORE?

to buy a new home, it’s important that you learn how to see yourself through the eyes of a mortgage lender. And one of the first things a mortgage lender will look at is your credit score. That’s because your credit score is a good indicator of your financial responsibility—the higher the score, the better you’ll look to your mortgage lender. The more you know about your credit score and how to boost it—especially if you want to qualify for the lowest interest rates--the closer you’ll be to moving into a new home. Here’s what you need to know. F YOU ARE LOOKING

First, let’s go through the basics—what exactly is a credit score? And why can it work for or against a new home buyer? The credit scores use a three-digit number and range from 300 to 850. Technically, 850 is the highest score you can get; however, the auto-lending industry uses a score that goes to 920 and there are others that go to 950. The “official” name for your credit score is your FICO Score, which is short for Fair Isaac Corp—the creators of the scoring system. Lenders, such as mortgage companies, use it to come up with your interest rate. The lower the score, the more you’ll pay in interest. Any score above 800 makes you look very creditworthy, which means you’ll get the lowest interest rate, and a lower interest rate can lower your monthly mortgage payments considerably and also lower your insurance costs. A 20

Volume 25.3 2017

score below 600 is generally considered as poor. Your FICO score opens or closes the door to other things too: whether or not your credit application is approved, whether or not your credit limit is increased, or how you are treated when you make a late payment. Lenders use credit scores to identify your credit as bad, poor, fair, good, or excellent. But lenders all have their own definitions of what is a good credit score, and the type of loan you are getting also determines a qualifying score.

It doesn’t matter what your age is. It doesn’t matter how much money you make. When it comes to your FICO Score, the only thing that matters is your past use of credit. Credit agencies like Experian, TransUnion, and Equifax keep track of your credit history. To find out

what your credit report says about you, keep in mind that you can order one free copy per year from each agency. Call 1-877-322-8228, or visit www.annualcreditreport.com.

When you get your credit reports, look them over carefully. Report any errors or mistakes immediately. If there’s accurate—but negative—information on your report, you might want to try calling the creditors and ask if they’ll remove the negative comments. A creditor may be willing to do this if you have a single late payment in an otherwise perfect record. If your credit report doesn’t make you look so good, don’t give up. You can start turning it around by doing the right— and smart—things. Pay your bills on time. Payment history is the first thing that sends up a red flag to a lender. Any bill overdue 30 days or more shows up on your credit report. If a lender sees

Maxing out your credit card does not improve your credit score. In fact, the closer you are to your credit limit, the worse your score. Try to keep your balances below 30% of your available credit. LIMIT YOUR CREDIT APPLICATIONS

When you apply for credit, it flags a lender to check your credit report. And you should be aware that too many applications--and credit checks—can lower your score. WHAT IF YOU DON’T HAVE A CREDIT HISTORY AT ALL?

This can sometimes be the case for recent graduates. If this is your situation, it’s time to start building a track record. Get a single credit card or gasoline company card before applying for a car loan or mortgage, and try to pay off your balance in full each month. The more consumers increase their awareness and understanding of the importance and impact of their credit scores, the better and easier buying a new home can be. So make it a point to take a self-taught course in “Credit Scoring 101.” More information can be found on the websites of the three credit reporting agencies mentioned in this article.

Builder Industry NEWS

VALLEY BUILDING OFFICIALS PREPARE FOR NEW ENERGY CODES (VBOA) recently hosted a presentation designed to offer guidance and assistance to Valley municipality code officials to help them transition to the new 2015 International Residential Code (IRC) identical to the 2015 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC). The new building codes were adopted by the state of Texas when House Bill 1736 was signed into law by Governor Greg Abbott on June 16, 2015, and became effective on September 1, 2016. THE VALLEY BUILDING OFFICIALS ASSOCIATION

The new Texas law sets minimum energy requirements for new homes in the state and will have a tremendous positive effect on the energy efficiency of new homes. Essentially, all new homes will require that a blower door test and a duct blaster test be performed (unless ducts are in conditioned space). These tests are designed to test the leakiness of the home (see page 10). Richard Morgan, Program Manager of the Energy Code

Compliance Program for the South-Central Partnership for Energy Efficiency as a Resource (SPEER), made the presentation. SPEERâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mission is to accelerate and facilitate the adoption of advanced building systems and energy efficient products and services in the South-Central United States.

L to R: Richard Morgan (SPEER presenter); VBOA Officers: Evaristo Gamez, Vice-President; Ignacio Moreno, President; Rolando Gonzalez, Board of Directors; David Sifuentes, Treasurer; Feliciano Salazar, Sergeant-at-arms.

The Valley Building Officials Association membership is open to all businesses related to the residential or commercial construction industries in the Rio Grande Valley. Associate members can join for $60/year, and meetings are held monthly. For more info on joining the VBOA, contact Rolando Gonzalez (956) 973-3123 (City of Weslaco).

Energy EFFICIENCY

BIGGER IS NOT BETTER...

IT CAN ACTUALLY BE WORSE WHEN IT’S AN AIR CONDITIONING UNIT. the cooling (and heating) system in your new home is sized correctly is most important in humid climates such as in the Rio Grande Valley. The size of the cooling system has a direct effect on the efficiency and comfort of a home. Much like the way a car in stop-and-go traffic gets inefficient mileage and suffers more wear on its components, an oversized cooling system will cycle on and off, causing poor humidity control, a shorter life span of the unit, and increased costs in utility bills and maintenance. Aside from higher utility bills and reduced comfort in the home, an oversized unit will also have a higher initial price tag. AKING SURE THAT

“Aside from higher utility bills and reduced comfort in the home, an oversized unit will also have a higher initial price tag.” Unfortunately, in a large-scale survey, almost 40% of contractors revealed that they purposefully oversize the equipment. One reason these respondents gave is that “customers demanded it.” The myth that “bigger is better” prevails because it seems like

it would make sense. But it does not, if one understands how building science works. A cooling system that is not sized correctly will “short cycle.” What that means is that because the home cools quickly, the compressor will not run long enough to remove the humidity in the home, resulting in uncomfortable,

humid, and sticky air in the home. How can you be sure that the unit in your home is sized correctly? The best solution is not to take anyone’s word for it. Look for a BUILT TO SAVE™ certified home. Homes that receive BUILT TO SAVE™ certification have been inspected and tested by a third-

Featured Energy Efficient Builders The builders participating in the BUILT TO SAVE™ Program are building homes the right way, and you don’t have to take our word or the builder’s word for it. Every certified home is inspected and tested by an independent Home Energy Rater to verify that the builder has met the above-code requirements of the BUILT TO SAVE™ Program. BUILT TO SAVE™ is a program that awards high-performance certification to new homes built to energy-saving standards that are above code.
