Things to Consider Before Moving Closer to Your Older Loved Ones

Are you concerned about your aging loved one? As your loved ones get older, it can be difficult to know when the time is right to move closer to their home in Minnetrista, MN. It’s not always easy to tell if they're ready or if you can wait longer. Assess Your Loved One's Needs Before you start thinking about a move, assess your loved one’s condition. That way, you can determine if their medical needs are urgent or if they can still remain in their current location for a period of time before the situation worsens. One of the most important factors to consider when deciding if it's time to move closer to a loved one is their physical health. If your loved one is noticeably declining physically or is no longer able to safely live on their own, a move is necessary sooner rather than later. Also, look at the safety of your loved one's current location. Can they get around the home safely? Take note of their hygiene and nutrition. If they're neglecting either of these important aspects of their life, it may be time to review their current living situation and potentially move. Moving Closer to Your Senior Loved One If you've assessed your loved one's needs and determined that a move is necessary, it's time to start planning. 1. Look for a New Home When checking out a new location, look for a place that's safe and comfortable. If your loved one's current home isn't safe and poses a danger to their health and well-being, you may want to consider placing them in an assisted living facility or have them move into the new home with you.  If they're moving in with you, discuss what features they prefer in a new home. Ask them about their ideal living situation and what they want to see in a new place, such as more living space or a garden. Depending on their physical abilities, they may need a one-story house. If they have trouble with steps, a home without stairs is best. Involving them in the process can make them feel more comfortable and smooth the transition for everyone. 2. Research Mortgage Options When looking for a new home, you may find quite a few mortgage options to consider. Research and familiarize yourself with available mortgage rates in Minnetrista, MN. Conventional mortgage — A conventional mortgage is a home loan that isn't secured by a government agency.  FHA mortgage — An FHA mortgage is a home loan that's insured by the Federal Housing Administration. VA loan — A VA mortgage is a home loan that's insured by the Department of Veteran Affairs. Many factors come into play when you're buying a house and securing a loan. For example, FICO score and down payment size depend on your creditworthiness, as well as what type of mortgage you're seeking. Most importantly, take the time to research rates and terms to find the best possible deal for you. Find Someone Who Can Help You It may be helpful to have someone look at your loved one’s home and give you honest feedback on the condition of the house. If you're interested in finding out more, contact the expert staff at Minnesota My Home for assistance in finding the right home and mortgage. -Lydia Chan, Guest Blogger

2022 FHA Loan Limits for the Minneapolis, St. Paul Metro Area

What is an FHA Loan? An FHA mortgage loan is one issued by an FHA-approved lender and insured by the FHA (Federal Housing Administration). Designed for low- to moderate-income borrowers, FHA loans allow borrowers to qualify with lower minimum down payments and lower credit scores than are traditionally required for many conventional loans (which are not guaranteed/insured by a government agency).   What are the 2022 FHA Loan Limits for Minnesota? Good news! FHA loan limits increased to $420,680 for most parts of the country (and higher for higher cost areas like the metro area). To qualify for an FHA loan in Minnesota, your home loan must be below the local FHA loan limits in your area. Loan limits vary by county and home size. In addition to loan limits, to qualify for an FHA loan you must live in the home as your primary residence. If you’re purchasing a multi-family home, the monthly Fair Market Rent (FMR) for the property must exceed 1% of the purchase price. FHA loans cannot be used for commercial real estate investment purposes or “flipping” homes in Minnesota.   2022 FHA Loan Limits County       One-Family Home Anoka                  $448,500 Carver                  $448,500 Chisago                $448,500 Dakota                  $448,500 Hennepin              $448,500 Isanti                     $448,500 Le Sueur               $448,500 Mille Lacs             $448,500 View rates for all Minnesota Counties on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's website.   What Loan is Best for You?

What is the 2022 Color of the Year?

Color experts and paint companies are declaring their predictions for the top 2022 paint colors.  During the lockdowns, people stuck at home spent a lot more energy sprucing up the colors in their homes. Some swayed towards soothing neutrals like greige, while others went for bold colors to brighten up their day. Green is the 2022 color of the year. Many paint companies agree that shades of green will be the trophy winner this year and we are loving it! (Green is Tiffany's favorite color).

Mound Real Estate Duo Featured in Laker Pioneer Newspaper

We are honored to be featured in an article about Minnesota My Home's unique brand/value proposition in the Laker Pioneer newspaper. Check it out!   https://www.hometownsource.com/laker_pioneer/community/minnetrista-duo-adds-humor-to-selling-homes/article_9c17b654-fb76-11eb-883e-cb14b158440e.html Three years ago, Minnetrista’s Tiffany and Andrew Beitler paired their areas of expertise for a creative new venture: free pizza with purchase of home (not haunted). In other words, they paired home selling with a bit of humor and put the full weight of a marketing firm behind how they do real estate. Andrew is a Boston transplant who has spent much of his career in corporate retail for Aldi and Target, but he’s also got a penchant for real estate and flipping houses: “dabbling,” he called it—until he made it his fulltime bread and butter. Tiffany grew up here, on Cooks Bay, and while still Tiffany Winter authored the book Lake Minnetonka Eats, compendium for the area’s foodies who might themselves dabble at making Scotty B’s sauerkraut soup or Patisserie Margo’s Linzer torte. Tiffany started Cooks Bay Marketing in 2014 after earning her MBA and working for some time in Supervalue’s marketing department. She and Andrew began joining their skills in marketing, corporate negotiating and house flipping about three years ago when Andrew’s dabbling turned into a real estate brand called Minnesota My Home. Now, they find themselves in a hot market and with a bit of buzz around their signage: the free pizza and non-haunted houses but also, “Open house. Open bar…not really, but it got your attention.” “I don’t think people realize how important the marketing piece is when they’re selling their home,” said Tiffany. “I think a lot of the mindset is, you’re going to get the same thing no matter who you choose to sell your house. But that’s not true, it does matter.” It was a bit of a shock for Andrew, too. “It’s surprising how many individuals don’t ask how their home is going to be advertised or marketed until we start talking about it. But to me, it’s the most expensive thing you’re ever going to own that you’re going to sell and it’s important that it’s marketed the right way.” The Beitlers have been working to differentiate themselves in an industry that has a fairly low barrier to entry. The pre-licensing exam to become a real estate agent in Minnesota can take as little as a couple of months, said Andrew, which is why he and Tiffany are playing up the fact that they’ve cut their teeth in the realms of marketing and negotiation through their years in the corporate world. “Our whole goal is to maximize exposure of the home, and also just elevate the home,” said Andrew. So, while the Beitlers have marketed some million-dollar homes, Andrew said it’s their intention to market every home, regardless of its value, as if it were one of those million-dollar homes. That means creating drone videos of the property and interior, tracking the impact made by a marketing campaign and, online, designing an individualized landing page for every property. It means listing the home on the MLS, yes, but also going directly to prospective buyers, said Andrew. The purpose is “to make it feel like one of a kind, not just one of 80 listings on a page,” added Tiffany. Relationships are a big part of it, too, said Andrew, who said he doesn’t feel like a “salesperson” but instead feels very much like a “people person.” And the signs around town? “We really wanted a clean, fresh, kind of punchy brand,” said Tiffany.

Home Disclosures and Inspections in MN

There are varying degrees of comfort as it relates to the maintenance that comes with home ownership. Luckily, there are a number of stages in the process that allow a buyer to thoroughly understand the ins and outs of a home they are interested in. Seller Disclosure Form Under Minnesota Law, sellers of residential property are obligated to disclose all material facts that they are aware of about their home that could adversely affect a buyer’s use and enjoyment of the property. Known as the Sellers Property Disclosure Statement, the buyer will need to sign this document when submitting an offer which acknowledges that they received it. This disclosure form is required by state law but can be waived if both the seller and buyer agree to it. This is commonly seen with rentals and estates.The seller can also opt, in place of the disclosure form, for a qualified third party to provide a written report that discloses material information relating to the property. The Truth-In-Sale-of-Housing (TISH) Report There are currently 12 cities in the Twin Cities metro area, including Minneapolis and St Paul, that require a city inspection before an individual sells their home. While each city has different requirements, they all generally focus on safety and risk and provide a report of recommended or required fixes. In certain circumstances, the sellers are required to complete the fixes before closing. If this is optional, and the required repairs are not completed, the buyer assumes the responsibility and must complete the repairs in a certain time frame. While each city is different, and it is important to understand your cities specific requirements, the TISH inspection is in place with everyone’s safety in mind. Learn more about what a TISH inspection and report are. Buyer Inspection The buyer has the option to make an offer on a home only after an inspection on the home is completed. Because it is the buyer’s contingency in the purchase agreement, it is up to the buyer to determine what inspections they would like to do and who they would like to use to satisfy their decision to move forward with purchasing the home. Typically, you will ask for 10 days to complete any inspection and you have three options after receiving the inspection report: Follow through with buying the homeCancel the purchase agreement if a condition is found to be unsatisfactoryNegotiate new terms of your offer if the inspection revealed something you were not previously aware of Other common “add-ons” to a typical home inspection to consider: Radon Inspection: Radon is a naturally occurring, colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. When inhaled it can damage the lungs and long-term exposure can lead to lung cancer.Sewer Line Inspection: Dependent on the age of the home, the sewer line could be cast iron with risk of deterioration. When you work with us, we walk you through all of this step by step and help you get forms filled out and review reports. We’re your consultants. Get in touch: andrew@mnmyhome.com or 612-432-3873.

What is a TISH Report?

TISH stands for Truth-In-Sale-of-Housing. A TISH inspection is an evaluation you must have completed before showing your home for sale. A TISH Report is intended to provide basic information to prospective buyers of the observed conditions of a dwelling. TISH Reports in Minnesota There are currently 12 cities in the Twin Cities metro area, including Minneapolis and St Paul, that require a city inspection before an individual sells their home. While each city has different requirements, they all generally focus on safety and risk and provide a report of recommended or required fixes. In certain circumstances, the sellers are required to complete the fixes before closing. If this is optional, and the required repairs are not completed, the buyer assumes the responsibility and must complete the repairs in a certain time frame. While each city is different, and it is important to understand your cities specific requirements, the TISH inspection is in place with everyone’s safety in mind. What cities require a TISH inspection in the Twin Cities? Bloomington Hopkins Maplewood Minneapolis New Hope Richfield Robbinsdale St. Louis Park St. Paul South St. Paul Golden Valley West St. Paul St. Paul TISH Report This report is “disclosure only” with one exception. If there is no functioning Hard-Wired Smoke Alarm in the home the owner is required to have one installed and verified by the permit process. Minneapolis TISH Report No Repairs If the inspection indicates no required repairs, a Certificate of Approval (COA) is issued. Repairs Completed by Seller If there are repairs and the seller completes the repairs, the COA is issued which is required for closing. Repairs Not Completed If repairs are not completed before closing, the buyer needs to sign an acknowledgment of responsibility and submit to the City within one day of closing. The buyer needs to complete all repairs within 90 days of closing and, once completed, a re-inspection is needed to verify the work is done.
