Reagan Bradford, whoserves as neighborhoodassociation president andtour chairman, said pro-ceeds from the tour will beput into ongoing projectsin the neighborhood’spark.

“We have a lot of folkwho use that park,” hesaid. “Heritage Hills, forexample, doesn’t have apark, so those folks comeover and use it. So it’s real-ly very heavily used.”

This year’s tour also in-cludes Wilson Arts Inte-gration School at 2215 NWalker, which got a face-lift as part of MAPS forKids. It will be the tour re-freshment stop.

“It’s a major draw to ourneighborhood, the fact wehave a great school,” Brad-ford said. “People actuallyfight to be able to go to it,which is unique for Okla-homa City public schools.So that’s a marquee we liketo show off.”

Former flophouseFawcett’s home was

built around 1910, andbusinessman WilliamBennett and his familylived there until 1927. Bythe time Fawcett bought itin 1979, the house had beendivided into apartmentsand then abandoned atsome point.

The ad for it warned:“BRING SCOOP ANDSHOVEL.” Fawcett divedin anyway.

He and a business part-ner who bought into theneighborhood at the sametime worked on first oneand then the other houseto make each livable. Theydid all the work themselveswith the exception of elec-trical, plumbing andbrickwork.

“We were both goingthrough a divorce at thetime,” Fawcett said. “Nei-ther of us had any money.”

They tore down sixrooms, trimming thehome’s space to 2,800square feet. They spent 26weeks replacing all thewindows and made 130trips to the dump.

Homesteadupbringing

The work didn’t dauntFawcett, who said he grewup in an old house nearPrague.

“My dad was always do-ing something — it was thehouse my great-grandfa-ther homesteaded,” hesaid.

A year after he movedinto the Mesta Park home,Fawcett decided to add aden to the back of thehouse, giving himself aplace to relax in his veryformal home. The result-ing space, with windowslining three walls, led onefriend to question his de-sign. “You have a very uglybackyard,” Fawcett re-membered this friend say-ing. “And I said, ‘But Iknow what I want it to looklike.’ ”

About 10 years ago, heput his vision in motion,transforming the drabbackyard space into acourtyard reminiscent ofthose common in New Or-leans, the rectangularspace anchored by a tall,splashing fountain.

“I love New Orleans,” hesaid.

Meant to shareHis home has a studied

formality, and breakableobjects are at hand at everyturn, but Fawcett said he’sonly lost a couple of ob-jects over the years. He en-tertains regularly — hisNew Year’s Eve soiree is astaple — and his grand-children grew up in thehouse.

“I enjoy sharing it withother people,” he said.

He said he doesn’t seethe point of living in a gor-geous home among gor-geous things and nevershowing them off.

“Why have all that stuffif you can’t share it withpeople?” he said.

WASHINGTON — How doyou fight back when an ap-praiser — often from an-other city working for a lowfee on behalf of a big bank— wrecks your sale, pur-chase or refinancing with alowball valuation?

It’s a serious problem inmarkets across the country.For example:

I Homebuilder JohnNolde of Richmond, Va.,recently sold a new, green-certified house for$199,500, only to see anout-of-area appraiser cutthe value to $169,000, afigure below Nolde’s owncombined constructionand land costs.

I Southern MethodistUniversity business schoolprofessor William Maxwellhad his four-bedroom Dal-las home appraised at$790,000 for a refinancinglast year, but when he wentto sell it earlier this year, theappraisal came in at$730,000. Maxwell saidthe appraiser, who was notfrom the immediate area,“had never walked into asingle house in this neigh-borhood” and knew littleabout local pricing trends.

I Gary Crabtree, an ap-praiser in Bakersfield, Cal-if., sought to sell his moth-er’s condo for $155,000 — aprice he said was supportedby extensive documenta-tion of recent comparablesales. Within two days, hegot a full-price offer, but anappraiser assigned by thebank valued the condo at$147,000. When his buyerswitched to a second lend-er, Crabtree said the as-signed appraiser “camefrom 126 miles away.”Crabtree “spoon-fed” thesecond appraiser the origi-nal comparables, and thevaluation came in at the full$155,000 listed price.

Disagreements over realestate values are nothingnew, but agents, buildersand sellers say currentmarket conditions — plusrecent changes in federalrules that encourage banksto use in-house or affiliatedappraisal managementcompanies — are magnify-ing the problem.

In a recent survey ofmembers, the Massachu-setts Association of Real-tors found that more thanhalf of agents said sales hadbeen hampered by apprais-als that came in low. Pollsby the National Associ-ation of Realtors also havedocumented widespreadfrustration over faulty val-uations.

So, what can you do tolessen the chance that abotched appraisal will tor-pedo your transaction?Here’s a quick guide.

I Act first. Federal rulesallow you to provide theappraiser your own comps— recently sold propertiesof a similar size, conditionand amenity levels in yourimmediate market area.Your realty agent can helpyou pull them together be-fore the appraiser arrives.Or, for a fee of $200 to$300, you can hire an expe-

rienced local appraiser toassist you.

Sara W. Stephens, presi-dent-elect of the AppraisalInstitute, the industry’slargest group, said: “If youknow there are comparablesales in the neighborhood”where the price was affect-ed by a divorce, financialdistress or heavy sellerconcessions to the buyer,“make sure you call the ap-praiser’s attention to”these. Give the appraiser alist of all the value-en-hancing upgrades and im-provements you’ve made,including dates and costs.

I Accompany the ap-praiser during the inspec-tion of the house. Ask

questions crucial to com-petency: Where are youbased? How long have youbeen in the business? Whattype of certifications andprofessional designationsdo you hold? Are you amember of the local multi-ple listing service (MLS, anessential treasure trove ofdata for any accurate ap-praisal)? Do you know localagents or brokers who cansupply you with pendingsales information andguide you on neighborhoodprice trends?

If the appraiser doesn’thave good answers, you aremuch more likely to end upwith a poor appraisal. Alertthe lender to your concernsas early as possible.

I After the appraisal iscompleted, always ask for acopy to review — it’s yourright under federal law. Ifthe value comes in low,check the report, from se-lection of comps to the ac-curacy of property mea-

surements. If you find seri-ous mistakes and the ap-praiser refuses to makecorrections, appeal directlyto the lender. Most haveprocedures to follow re-garding “reconsiderationsof value.” Ask for a second

valuation by a locally com-petent appraiser, even ifthat costs you more money.

I Finally, if the lenderstonewalls you and the dealfalls apart, consider filing acomplaint with your stateappraisal board. The

boards don’t have the pow-er to rewind your transac-tion, but they can disci-pline, fine, suspend ordrive out of business badappraisers.Send email to [email protected].

LOS ANGELES — Far fewerborrowers are delinquenton their home loans thesedays, a Mortgage BankersAssociation report shows,but new foreclosure ac-tions are on the rise instates such as California,showing the nation still hasmuch pain to endure beforethe housing crisis subsides.

Private analysts say thenation is only halfwaythrough the wrenching gripof the foreclosure epidem-ic. That’s reflected in thehousing market, wherehome sales and prices con-tinue to sag in many areasdespite record low interestrates.

Five years into the crisis,7.99 percent of all U.S.home loans were behind byat least one payment in thethird quarter but not yet in

foreclosure, the mortgagetrade group said.

That’s down by nearlyhalf a percentage pointfrom the second quarterand more than a percentagepoint from a year earlier.

But the group’s statisticsshowed how banks arereasserting themselvesagainst troubled borrowersafter slowing the processfor nearly a year amid in-creased scrutiny fromregulators.

The percentage of loanson which foreclosure ac-tions were started duringthe third quarter was 1.08percent, up from 0.96 per-cent in the second quarter.

The percentage of U.S.loans somewhere in theforeclosure process at theend of the third quarter was4.43 percent, up slightlyfrom a year earlier.

WASHINGTON — U.S.homebuilders are feeling alittle less pessimistic aboutthe struggling housingmarket. But their moodhasn’t changed enough tosignal a recovery soon.

The National Associ-ation of Home Builderssaid its builder sentimentindex rose to 20 in Novem-ber. That’s the highest lev-el since May 2010 and onlythe second month the in-dex has been at 20 or abovein two years. The tradegroup cited low mortgagerates as a chief factor.

Still, any reading below50 indicates negative sen-timent about the housingmarket. It hasn’t reached50 since April 2006, thepeak of the housing boom.

Last year, the number ofpeople who bought newhomes fell to its lowest lev-el on records going backnearly a half-century.Sales this year could farejust as bad.

Builders are strugglingto compete with foreclo-sures, which have madethe price of previously oc-cupied homes more com-petitive. Many buyers arehaving difficulty obtainingloans or meeting higherdown payment require-ments.

Low appraisals are scut-tling some deals after con-tracts have been signed.Some buyers want to up-grade to a new house butare holding off because

they can’t sell their home. Those who are in a posi-

tion to buy are benefitingfrom lower prices andcheap mortgage rates. Theaverage rate on the 30-yearfixed mortgage has fallenbelow 4 percent twice thisyear. But so far, those fac-tors haven’t done much toboost home sales.

David Crowe, the build-ers group’s chief econo-mist, said the group is ex-pecting gains in builderconfidence heading into2012. The group cites sev-

eral regional pockets ofstrength as the main rea-son. New Orleans, Pitts-burgh and other smallermetro areas have shownimprovement, the tradegroup said.

While new homes makeup a small portion of sales,they have an outsized im-pact on the economy. Thebuilders’ trade group saideach new home built cre-ates three jobs for a yearand generates about$90,000 in taxes.

The outlook for current

single-family home salesincreased three points to20, according to a separategauge in the survey. Build-ers are also more optimis-tic about future sales ex-pectations and foot trafficof prospective buyers.

Builders’ outlook in theMidwest rose eight pointsto 23. The Northeast rosethree points to 23. TheSouth increased twopoints to 21. After a big Oc-tober increase, the Westfell six points this month to15.
