Elder Cottage Available
Elder Cottage Available
Better Housing for Tompkins County anticipates having a vacancy in its Elder Cottage Lease Program and is encouraging applications from eligible older adults and their families.
Better Housing rents small, modular homes to income-eligible seniors (60 and older) who wish to have them installed temporarily next to the family home of one of their adult children or other supportive relative living in Tompkins County, outside the City of Ithaca.
The elder cottage concept enables seniors to continue living independently with the support and security offer by family living nearby. The accessibility and other design features of these one-bedroom modular ranch homes also help the resident to be able to continue aging in place should they at some point have mobility impairments.
“The program is very popular with the seniors who use it, ” explains Andrew Piliero, Property Manager at Better Housing. “It brings families closer while allowing seniors to live independently.”
Income limits apply, and sites for the Cottages must meet requirements. To view details, please visit www.betterhousingtc.org. For information on the application process, call David Stoyell at the Tompkins County Office for the Aging, 274-5492.

Now Could be the Time to Buy
• Inventory is up.
• Sellers are motivated.
• Interest rates are down. Recent cuts in the prime rate by the Federal Reserve have sparked drops in interest rates, which at the end of January were below 6 percent for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. While banks have tightened lending requirements in the wake of increased loan defaults, homebuyers with few credit problems qualifying to purchase a home they can afford should still have little trouble securing favorable financing terms.
What’s more, a market climate like this especially favors buyers who don’t need to sell an existing property before their purchase, buyers like first-timers and those looking for a second home. This tilts the scale even more towards many buyers.
But regardless of the situation, for every buyer, the key is to work with a real estate professional that knows the local market and specializes in buyer representation – like an agent who has earned the Accredited Buyer’s Representative (ABR®) designation.
Diane McLafferty is one the members of the Real Estate Buyer’s Agent Council (REBAC) of the NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS®, who have attained the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR®) designation. As the world's largest association of real estate professionals focusing specifically on representing the real estate buyer, REBAC is "The Voice for Buyer Representation,"

Applying for a Loan?
When you apply for a loan, your lender will look at several things:* Down payment amount* How long you have been employed in your current position* Whether you have the funds on deposit for your down payment and closing costs* Your income-to-debt ratio and your credit report
Lenders nowadays place much emphasis on the credit report. Credit bureaus compile a record of debts from credit card companies, banks, department stores, and other firms. This information appears on your credit report, so it shows whether you pay your bills on time. Lenders develop credit ratings based on how well you manage this function. The higher your credit score, the more flexible lenders will be in loan approval and specific requirements.
When you meet with lenders, ask how they decide if you are a good credit risk. It is likely to be from a credit report. Lenders can order the credit report for you and discuss your score. If your credit is less than sterling, they can usually offer suggestions on how to strengthen your credit position.
Please feel free to call or email me if you have any questions or would like additional information on financing.
