New York Home Magazine

New York Home

by Fern Siegel, Wednesday, May 23, 2007
DO YOU HAVE A Park Avenue pied-a-terre? First, I never go uptown unless there is an art or editorial emergency. Second, if I had a pied-a-terre, which is French for place to enjoy infidelity, I'd look for someplace more romantic than Park Ave. For openers, you can't find a liquor store. Plus, there are far more interesting neighborhoods in New York -- find one with a little pizzazz. Even if your secondary abode is strictly that -- a place to relax when you come to Manhattan -- have fun with it. And if you can afford such luxuries, you're probably perusing New York Home.

Of course, it helps to define what we mean by "New York." Safe to say, we're not talking Buffalo -- not that there's anything wrong with it. But shelter magazines tend to be parochial in their reach -- and the moment New York is uttered, that corridor usually extends from Tribeca to the Hudson Valley. Say what you will about designers. They may be wildly adventurous when it comes to throw pillows, radical extremists about ambient lighting. Mention geography, however, and their vision, like Paul Wolfowitz's understanding of appropriate labor relations, narrows.

It does, though, extend to Connecticut. On the theory, I expect, that lower Conn. is really upper New York. The Nutmeg State has many virtues, but when it comes to names, it's a tad precious. Take Cricket Hill Gardens. Not, you'd admit, the pride of the shtetl. On the upside, the nursery lets you revel in the beauty of Chinese tree peonies. Another out-of-city boon: the restored 1926 Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank, NJ, with its Moorish elegance and Italianate details. New Yorkers, like people everywhere, value convenience. An hour's ride outside the city is a day in the country; Albany is a schlep.

Also, I was impressed with the "Welcome" page because it sports a nifty piece of furniture from the Transit Museum. It's billed as an "inventive ode" to the NYC transit map, which means it's a thin metal chair that's probably hugely uncomfortable but eye-catching. Or, to borrow a phrase from childhood, it's a "conversation piece," a term that covers a multitude of design sins.

Whereas the "Portfolio" section has a host of objects, including a J Schatz egg bird house that benefits chickadees, wrens and smaller birds. I wouldn't know from wrens in Greenwich Village, though I once had a squirrel eat my air conditioner. True story. And if you've priced them, you can understand my impulse to puree him, had he not destroyed the motor in an attempt to build a condo for his family. Live and let live does not extend to nature when the temps hit record highs.

Mostly, New York Home concentrates on home versus people, who, when it comes to art direction, just clutter up the shot. In all honesty, the mag functions largely as an advertorial. Adding actual ads may amount to overkill. Yet the sleek cranberry-colored Scavolini kitchen ad boasts equipment I can't identify, but would create envy in key friends, which, let's face it, is part of the bonus of affluence. Giving to charity, important. Economic schadenfreude, priceless.

I was also smitten with the meadow-colored Lalique vase, though I would nix the dandelions cut into the crystal, a little too low-rent for such a high-priced product. Would an iris kill them? Still, there are some stories that make me smile, in a raised-eyebrow kind of way.

For instance, I love the young med student's one-bedroom apartment, which uses purple as a defining color to calming effect. It takes the concept of graduate digs to a whole new level. One caveat: it doesn't look like the home of any resident I've ever met. Usually, they are filled with books and weeks-old newspapers. And rarely, if ever, does future doctor/golfer spend any extended time there. But if Donna Karan went to med school, this is what her place would look like.

That's half the fun of such mags -- part fantasy, part artistry. But who OK'd the army-camouflage print on the chairs and curtains in the mudroom? This is a little too Berkshires meets Baghdad for me. So much for gimme shelter.

But my favorite faux pas was in the med student's bedroom. Forget the excessively "romantically carved" headboard, which I would slug a "mood killer." Artfully set on the bed is an open, oddly shaped book and a cup and saucer -- on a white spread. Leaving practicalities aside, atop the book are glasses. Not reading glasses, sunglasses. Now, I'm all for playing let's pretend, but reading is sacred. Save the rose-colored glasses for where it counts -- in life.

Home Identification Goes Beyond Just Some Numbers

Signs with Style: Home Identification Goes Beyond Just Some Numbers

Address plaques are now a necessity for any home, and consumers are demanding a large variety of styles to complement their homes.

Jacksonville, FL (PRWEB) May 16, 2007 --- Address plaques are now a necessity for any home, says a new online retail Web site, and consumers are demanding a large variety of styles to complement their homes.

Sure, when you decide to identify your home, you can visit any hardware store and buy stick-on numbers to put on your mailbox, curb, or door frame. But today's discriminating homeowners have much invested in their homes and gardens, and will only consider more attractive, complementary options for home identification.

Sometimes that can mean multiple shopping trips to specialty stores, and long drives to bigger cities, looking for the best style or finish to match the existing home's décor. These consumers will be delighted to learn of the new online retail Web site, http://www.AddressPlaquesSignsMarkers.com, which offers a wide selection online of address plaques and other home identification options.

AddressPlaquesSignsMarkers.com understands the benefits of good home identification. A beautiful, stylish address plaque easily and instantly updates your home's curb appeal and increases its overall value. In fact, installing a well-chosen address plaque can be one of the best investments a homeowner can make.

In addition, address plaques are often the first feature of the home to greet visitors, and therefore are responsible for that ever-important first impression. With the abundant selection of plaques available at http://www.AddressPlaquesSignsMarkers.com -- from wall plaques to lawn-staking plaques, cast aluminum to ceramic, reflective to stone, vintage European to solar -- any homeowner can find the perfect plaque to complement his or her home's individual style.

Besides aesthetic enhancement, address plaques fulfill many practical needs. A common problem in the mail order business is receiving a misdirect package, or ordering an item and having it delivered to the wrong house. A curbside address plaque or a mailbox plaque will cut down on these inconveniences.

Address plaques are also very useful for first-time visitors to a home. Visitors will appreciate knowing they will be knocking on the right door instead of accidentally disturbing a neighbor! Most importantly, address plaques can fulfill many 911 requirements by identifying a home and making it easier and faster for emergency responders to reach the right house in cases of emergency.

Purchasing an address plaque is one of the most inexpensive and least time-consuming "home improvement" projects a homeowner can do. And it just got even easier, with the launch of the great new online source, http://www.AddressPlaquesSignsMarkers.com.

AddressPlaquesSignsMarkers.com is part of the Outdoor Decor Stores Network. To view the full range of products, please visit http://www.OutdoorDecor.com. Outdoor Decor Stores is an online division of The Arthur Wilbur Company, Inc., a leader in the home and garden industry.

Fine Homebuilding Magazine's Annual Houses Issue

Houses

by Larry Dobrow, Thursday, May 17, 2007
I'VE RECEIVED SOME STRANGE inducements to get me to feature magazines in this space. One person wrote a limerick, which fell flat owing to the absence of the word "Nantucket." Another mistook me for a fizzy teenage girl by sending over a four-pack (!) of wine coolers. I can totally be bought, but come on: you gotta do better than that. For future reference, I wear a size-8.5 loafer and count spearfishing and cyber-karate as my hobbies.

I wouldn't have expected that the most clever appeal for Magazine Rack consideration would come from the folks at Fine Homebuilding, who relayed detailed plans for the oceanfront chateau they proposed building for me. I don't know why this surprised me, as some of the funniest people I know work for cardboard-dry publications. Truly, you haven't laughed until you've heard the staff of The Atlantic recite old Andrew Dice Clay monologues after downing a Coors Light beer ball or three.

Having made a new pal at Fine Homebuilding, I resolved to be as much of a prick as possible in my analysis of his mag. I'll show him for being pleasant and helpful! I'll show him but good!

And yet I can't muster anything besides admiration for the mag's annual Houses issue. A gorgeously presented compilation of building and design concepts, Houses surveys bungalow, ranch and cottage with aplomb, appending its every spread with the information (aerobic septic systems, structural panels, a bunch of other stuff beyond my limited comprehension) that fix-'er-uppers need. This is a magazine that sweats the details -- think Architectural Digest for the hard-core DIY set.

Given its Fine Homebuilding lineage, I opened Houses expecting lots of tips about regrouting the shower tiles. The mag, however, has loftier matters on its mind, especially in its first 30 pages. As opposed to reader letters or product piffle, Houses leads with a thoughtful piece on screwy building codes and an essay by a housing developer on the notion of the home as a social asset. Together, they do more to make the reader think than an entire bookshelf of home-redesign rags.

I also appreciate the mag's utilitarian bent. Yes, many of the featured houses stick to a specific motif, but it seems to me that most of the concepts are easily translatable to different spaces and styles. Similarly, the Spring/Summer issue pays more than token attention to lifestyle concerns, serving up ideas for late-life domiciles ("Designing the Best Last House") and ones inhabited by expanding families ("Growing Family, Growing Bungalow").

As for the house spreads, they come complete with specs/floor plans and appropriately descriptive text tips. The photography, as you'd guess, captures every sitting room and sliding shoji-screen door in all their sun-dappled glory. Give the mag's art staff bonus points for a few smaller, creative flourishes, like a rose-red bottom-page sidebar (bottombar?) on environmental sustainability and the way-thin headline fonts.

For the token-negative-comment part of this review, I don't have a whole lot. The writer of the first-person piece on building a dream house comes across as self-consumed as a certain Magazine Rack writer we know: In the two-sentence first paragraph, he drops four "I"'s, three "my"'s and one "me." The headlines get a bit dippy at times ("Seduced by the Shingle Style"), while the "Fixtures & Materials" blurbs deserve more than the 100 or so words they're afforded.

Ultimately, though, Houses is as deserving of coffee-table showcase as the luxe-design titles that have long dominated that coveted piece of living-room real estate. Even if you're as unable as I am to pull off the projects it details without violating multiple building codes and international treaties, you'll still be impressed by the overall package. My Fine Homebuilding crony has good reason to crow.

COMPETITION IN THE REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE INDUSTRY

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION ISSUE REPORT ON COMPETITION IN THE REAL ESTATE BROKERAGE INDUSTRY

Agencies Make Recommendations to Maintain Competition and Protect Consumers From Anticompetitive Conduct

TUESDAY, MAY 8, 2007 - WASHINGTON -- The U.S. Department of Justice and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) today issued a joint report, "Competition in the Real Estate Brokerage Industry." The purpose of the report is to inform consumers and others involved in the industry about important competition issues involving residential real estate, including the impact of the Internet, the competitive structure of the real estate brokerage industry, and obstacles to a more competitive environment.

"The Antitrust Division seeks to educate industry participants and bring enforcement actions where necessary to ensure that consumers benefit from competition in this crucial sector of our economy," said Thomas O. Barnett, Assistant Attorney General for the Department of Justice's Antitrust Division. "This report will help inform Americans about their real estate brokerage options and alert state legislatures and real estate commissions about the danger of enacting laws and regulations that harm competition."

The report follows a workshop conducted by the agencies in October 2005, entitled "Competition Policy and the Real Estate Industry." The workshop focused on issues related to the competitiveness of the residential real estate industry and covered topics such as multiple listing services, online "virtual office Web sites," discount and fee-for-service brokers, and minimum service requirements. Panelists at the workshop included real estate brokers, state regulators, and academics. In addition, nearly 400 public comments were filed in response to the agencies' request for public comment in connection with the workshop.

"Home ownership is the American dream, and real estate brokers have helped to achieve that dream for many," said FTC Chairman Deborah Platt Majoras. "But when anticompetitive practices stand in the way, consumers lose. The FTC is committed to working with the industry and policymakers to ensure that competition is not inhibited and that consumers are well-informed about this important marketplace."

As discussed in the report, the review by the Department and the FTC suggests that, although the real estate industry has undergone a number of substantial changes in recent years - particularly as a result of technological advances such as the Internet - competition in the industry has been hindered as a result of actions taken by some real estate brokers acting through multiple listing services and the National Association of Realtors, state legislatures, and state real estate commissions. In addition, consumers likely would benefit significantly from additional knowledge about the range of options available in brokerage services and fees. Based on their review, the Department and the FTC recommend the following to help maintain competition and protect consumers in the real estate brokerage industry:

    * The Department and the FTC should continue to monitor the cooperative conduct of private associations of real estate brokers and bring enforcement actions in appropriate circumstances. While cooperation among brokers through a multiple listing service can provide consumers with important efficiencies, cooperation used to adopt rules that hinder rivals can be anticompetitive and, as recent agency actions indicate, may violate the antitrust laws.

    * The Department and FTC should continue to provide state legislators and industry regulators with information concerning the competitive consequences of state legislation and regulations that threaten to or already do restrict competition and consumer choice in the real estate brokerage industry, and take enforcement action in appropriate circumstances.

    * State legislators and industry regulators should consider repealing existing laws, rules and regulations, such as minimum-service and anti-rebate provisions, that limit choice and reduce the ability of new brokerage models (e.g., fee-for-service brokers, discount full-service brokers, virtual office Web site brokers, and broker referral networks) to compete and that do not appear to provide any consumer benefits that would justify such restrictions. They should also avoid enacting such laws, rules and regulations in the future.

    * The Department, FTC, and industry regulators should promote consumer understanding of marketplace options. Some consumers may not be aware of the range of alternatives available to them when hiring a real estate broker, including the types of business models available and the negotiability of fees, for both home buyers and sellers, or may not understand the duties owed by their broker. Competition in the real estate brokerage industry would likely be enhanced if consumers had better access to such information.

    * The Department, FTC, and industry regulators should assess the feasibility of an empirical study of the real estate brokerage industry. Transaction-level data on commission rates and fees are not publicly available, but broad national aggregate data suggest that commission rates and fees move in tandem with housing prices. Just as a 1983 FTC study provided valuable information about how real estate brokers competed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, a new study examining how transaction-level commission rates and fees vary based on such factors as market conditions, housing prices, and regulation would provide a better understanding of the current state of competition in the real estate brokerage industry.

Copies of the report can be found on the Department of Justice's Web site at http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/public/reports/223094.pdf. Transcripts and written submissions from the workshop are available at http://www.usdoj.gov/atr/public/workshops/reworkshop.htm. Individuals seeking more information on the report should contact the Department of Justice's Office of Public Affairs at 202-514-2007.

Lending Market Narrows Borrowing Options for Minorities

 

Subprime Lending Market Narrows Housing, Borrowing Options for Minorities

According to recent reports, minorities are being disproportionately affected by changes to the subprime lending market. A lender search tool available from MortgageCreditProblems.com helps people with poor credit or people looking to find relief from high mortgage and interest payments find qualified lenders. Information on bad credit mortgages, subprime lending, loans and other mortgage-related issues are available at MortgageCreditProblems.com

(PRWeb) May 4, 2007 -- Last month, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, "a coalition of civil rights groups called for a national six-month moratorium on foreclosures -- after observing that a subprime (lending crisis has) disproportionately affected minorities." MortgageCreditProblems.com (http://www.mortgagecreditproblems.com) helps people with bad or no credit avoid common pitfalls of the subprime lending market by offering a lender search tool that provides mortgage information.

The MortgageCreditProblems.com search tool first asks users about the loan type, property type and home location. To find the best lenders to fit an individual's needs, the tool also takes into account bankruptcy, credit rating and several other factors that depend on the loan type (http://www.mortgagecreditproblems.com/mcp/apply.htm).

"Loans to homeowners with less-than-sterling credit are the fastest-growing segment of the mortgage market," says the Boston Globe. "Subprime loans have helped boost U.S. homeownership to a record 69 percent of households, {but} some subprime {mortgage} lenders charge excessive fees or rates, taking advantage of the fact the borrowers have fewer options than people with good credit."

As the subprime lending market faces scrutiny for unscrupulous practices, many subprime mortgage lenders are going out of business, leaving minorities to rely on approval from giant lending institutions, although, "tighter standards are locking a large part of the American population out of home buying," says MSNBC. Specializing in bad credit mortgages, MortgageCreditProblems.com's lending search tool helps homeowners find reliable, relevant information on the subprime lending market and mortgages so they can make informed decisions on the loan that will best meet their financial needs (http://www.mortgagecreditproblems.com/mcp/apply.htm).

Unfortunately, minorities are especially at risk for being taken advantage of through the subprime lending market as The National Council of La Raza has noted, by finding that, "forty percent of Latino families and over half of African Americans who receive home loans get higher-cost mortgages, predominately subprime loans." However, according to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, "Studies reveal that even upper-income African-American neighborhoods one are one-and-a-half times more likely to have a subprime loan than persons in low-income white neighborhoods."

MortgageCreditProblems.com is a primary source of mortgage lending information for people with poor credit history or a low credit score. MortgageCreditProblems.com connects borrowers with bad credit to lenders that are willing to give them credit despite their credit history and also offers articles on improving credit scores, refinancing with bad credit and debt consolidation.
