    The Sun

    Despite the rain, there was alarge turnout for the second an-nual Tree Lighting at theMoorestown Community Houselast week. Residents were bun-dled up in warm and seasonalclothing, holding umbrellas of allcolors and sizes, as they enjoyedthe festivities.

    Members of the CommunityHouse as well as MoorestownsKathy Orr of CBS 3 made speech-es of thanks and appreciation.Moorestown High SchoolsMadrigals and Philly POPs pro-vided musical entertainment.Children listened to elf TimothyR.

    However, the Moorestown tree

    lighting is just the first of manyevents in Moorestown.

    I love it; I love that the Madri-gals are performing. It reallybrings the community together,Ashley said.

    I really like CandlelightNight. With all of the lights, it isso pretty. It really gets you intothe holiday spirit, Ashley said.

    Lori said they would be havingfamily over to their house forChristmas and attending aChristmas Eve service the night

    before.The holidays are always spe-

    cial with families coming togeth-er, Lori said.

    Also a first time tree lighting-goer, Yannick Bonnemaiso, a two-year Moorestown resident, feltthe ceremony was a great experi-ence, and he was very curious to

    ew Jerseys youth and young

    adults outpace their counter-

    parts in the country in a lot of

    key measurables. They graduate high

    school at high rates; more of them

    earn at least a bachelors degree; and

    they make more money, on average.

    But New Jerseys young adults alsooutpace the rest of the country in

    their demographic in two odd cate-

    gories more of them stay single, hav-

    ing never married, and more live at

    home with their parents.

    Two reports released last week

    painted this confusing, and somewhat

    troubling, picture of our states youth.

    First, the Department of Educationreleased data that the states high

    school graduation rate rose to 88.6 per-

    cent in 2014, up from 87.5 percent in

    2013 and 86.5 percent in 2012. Thats

    great news.

    Then, the U.S. Census Bureau re-

    leased data on each states 18- to 34-

    year-old demographic. Almost 30 per-

    cent of New Jerseys young adults

    hold a bachelors degree, compared to

    22 percent for the rest of the country,

    and up from 19 percent in 1980. They

    have a median income around $41,000

    (compared to around $34,000 national-

    ly). But 71.1 percent of this demo-

    graphic has never been married (65.9

    percent nationally) and 40.5 percent

    (30.3 percent nationally) still live with

    their parents. Furthermore, while the

    median income is higher than the rest

    of the country, when adjusted for infla-

    tion, its actually $4,000 less than it

    was in 1990.

    All of this data can be attributed, in

    large part, to the Great Recession and

    the states high cost of living. Our

    countrys economy changed dramati-

    cally a few years ago, and while its

    better now, it still isnt back to full

    power.

    So what can we do about this? It

    might seem like were playing a bro-

    ken record, but New Jerseys govern-ment needs to find ways to make it eas-

    ier, and more affordable, for our young

    adults to live and work in our state.

    Its tough to get a job in New Jersey,

    even though there is plenty of busi-

    ness here, and its even tougher to find

    affordable living. The cost of renting

    is high, and while it is a good time to

    buy a home, its a tough thing for a sin-gle, young adult to do.

    If we dont find a way to change the

    outlook for our youth, well soon find

    that they will look elsewhere for bet-

    ter, and more affordable, opportuni-

    ties. And losing residents, especially

    from that demographic, would not be

    good.

    A lose-lose for our young adultsSome troubling statistics about our states youth were released last week

    Schools celebrate Authors Day on Dec. 3By BRIGIT BAUMA

    The Sun

    In the multipurpose room of the GeorgeC. Baker Elementary School, childrenwearing hats of green crocodiles excitedlygathered for a special presentation. Ifthere was any indication of what was

    going on, the bulletin board near the mainentrance of the hallway explained it all,with pictures crayon-colored crocodileseating watermelons, welcoming childrensauthor and illustrator Greg Pizzoli ofPhiladelphia for Authors Day on Wednes-

    day, Dec. 3.Pizzoli is the author and illustrator of

    The Watermelon Seed and Number OneSam, as well as illustrator for Not VeryScary by Carol Brendler. In total, Pizzolihas six books published. The WatermelonSeed, a story about a crocodile who acci-dentally eats a watermelon seed, received

    the 2014 Theodor Seuss Geisel Award formost distinguished beginning reader book.

    Authors Day, brought to MoorestownsBaker Elementary School by the Baker Ele-mentary Home and School Association, isheld every year for children to learn about

    and meet authors of some of their favoritebooks. However, this author had a connec-tion to Bakers very own art teacher, KatiePaetzold. He was her professor when shewas in college.

    I invited him for two reasons. First ofall, he was the art professor of our artteacher, so when he published his first

    book, she brought it in to show me, and assoon as I heard that he won the SeussGeisel Award, that kind of sealed the dealfor me, said the schools librarian Ann

    cer John Prignano, and the firstone that I thought of was theMoorestown Theater Company.

    Prignano said he plans to trav-el to New Jersey, not only to seethe musical performed, but tospeak with the MTC staff andcast members to get theirthoughts about the shows scriptand songs, as well as the work-shop process.

    This new childrens musical,which is based on one of the sto-ries in the best-selling MagicTree House Collection of chil-drens books by Mary Pope Os-borne, tells the story of Jack andhis younger sister Annie, who goback in time to 1843 to convinceCharles Dickens not to give up on

    his writing career.

    With a little bit of magic thatthey are allowed to use in the sto-ries via Merlin the Magician fromCamelot, Jack and Annie showDickens what the world would belike without his stories.

    Their magic brings out thethree ghosts (that are so well-known from Dickens most fa-mous story, which help to con-vince Dickens to continue hiswriting career in general, and towrite A Christmas Carol, specif-ically.

    The workshop directing stafffor MTCs Preview Stage 2014 con-sists of director Morgan, vocal di-rector Carol Ann Murray andchoreographer Kaitlin Tumulty,all of Moorestown.

    Ferruggia. The books are de-lightful and the children lovethem, so it seemed like a no brain-er.

    For the last month, studentshave been doing an authors studyon Pizzoli. They learned about hislife, read and analyzed his booksand drew and colored pictures of

    the characters. The books werealso sold to students so Pizzolicould sign them.

    On Authors Day, Pizzoli gave apresentation to different gradesthroughout the day. With eachgrade, he talked about his experi-ences as a writer and illustrator,showed them how he drew someof the characters, as well as readthe students his books.

    Pizzoli started out drawing andwriting stories when he was infirst grade. He even said before hecould write, he would tell storiesto his mom, who would writethem down for him. Since then,he pursued his dream in college,where it solidified this is what hewanted to do.

    Earning his masters degree infine arts, Pizzoli now teaches atthe University of the Arts inPhiladelphia. It was there that henot only taught Paetzold, Bakers

    art teacher, but another student,who was also an illustrator, whointroduced him to his agent.

    Pizzoli also gave the children apreview of some of his new andupcoming books. He read Tem-pleton Gets His Wish, a bookcoming out in the spring about acat who makes a wish with conse-quences, and Dragon Was Terri-ble, a book written by Kelly

    DiPucchio about a dragon whodoes terrible things to a town,coming out in 2016.

    At the end of the presentation,Pizzoli allowed the students toask questions about him, what hedoes and the characters. Pizzolialso gave advice on writing and il-lustrating stories, expressing theneed to draw and write every dayand to work hard.

    I write every day. Sometimes Ithrow it all out, and sometimes itgets into a book, Pizzoli said.

    Draw every day, draw from life.Work hard and be nice to people. Iteach at the college level in Philly,and I find the ones who are suc-cessful are the ones who workhard, not necessarily the oneswho draw the best.

    Ferruggia said she hopes chil-dren take away not only the loveof literature and reading fromthese author events, but also real-ize there is a lot of work to putinto writing or illustrating a

    book.I think it is important forthem to understand it is aprocess. Sometimes a book is pub-lished and sometimes it isnt, butyou have to keep writing, Fer-ruggia said.

    Pizzoli expressed his happinessfor being invited to the school andseeing the childrens reactions tohis book.

    Its exciting reading to thekids and sharing stories withthem. I enjoy being in the studio,

    too, but you dont see how it is re-ceived there. It is really nice con-necting with the kids, Pizzolisaid.

    The SunBuying a home is not only the

    single greatest transaction ofyour lifetime it could be themost emotional transaction, An-gela Barnshaw, CEO of Haddon-field real estate agency Agent06,said. We dont sell houses. Wehelp to match a person to a house.We connect you to that house.

    There are a lot of factors thatcome into play when buying ahome. How much can you afford?

    How much do you want to pay?And how do you find the housethats right for you?

    But before delving into how tofind the house, potential home-buyers need to know how muchthey can spend. Across the board,area real estate professionalsagree that the first step of thehome-buying process is to talk toa mortgage broker.

    You really need to do that.Theres no sense in me taking youout and showing you $400,000homes when you max out at$350,000. Im wasting your timeand my time, Anne E. Koons,sales associate with BerkshireHathaway HomeServices Fox &Roach, Realtors, in Cherry Hill,said. Thats very important to dobefore you even go out to startlooking at houses.

    Once a prospective homebuyeris pre-approved for a mortgage,finding a real estate professionalis the next sensible step.

    The real estateprofessionals role

    From the very beginning tothe very end, we are vigilantabout making sure the customerknows that we are there as theirguide and protector, Barnshawsaid, not as someone trying tosqueeze a commission check outof them.

    Guiding a homebuyer is key;real estate professionals are there

    from the search for a new home tothe final contracts and everythingin between.

    You need a real estate advisor.We wouldnt perform surgery on

    ourselves, Alyce Klaus,

    broker/sales representative withWeichert Realtors Moorestown,said with a smile. This is such animportant economic investment,and to obtain the counsel of a realestate agent who is going to repre-sent your best judiciary interest,its a no brainer.

    A homebuyer can also rely onthe knowledge of a Realtor. A Re-altor will know if a home is locat-ed near high-tension wires orfalls within a strong school dis-trict. If a neighborhood is having

    issues flooding or mold, for in-stance the Realtor will mostlikely know that, too.

    I consider myself an expert inmy field. I know a lot, Koonssaid. Im sure theres a lot that Idont know, but after almost 30years of being in the business,Ive been through a lot of differ-ent scenarios.

    Barnshaw said its importantfor the Realtor to focus on how heor she is promoting and present-ing the home.

    The presentation in personhas to meet or exceed the promo-tion, she said.

    Just as important is under-standing the market data.

    Not (market data) for all ofthe county or evenall of that town,but that uniquehyper-local nichewhere that houseis located,Barnshaw

    said. Anda skilled Re-altor is goingto know how to ne-gotiate, whethertheyre represent-ing the buyer orrepresenting theseller.

    NegotiatingWhen youre

    talking about ne-gotiating, I wish

    there was a morescientific re-sponse in pric-ing, Klaus said,but when you

    get down to it, its what the sellerwill take, the buyer will pay andthe bank will appraise.

    According to Dave Lewis, bro-ker/owner of B.T. Edgar and SonRealtors in Moorestown, Realtors

    are there to help a buyer throughthe negotiation process. Buyersdont go in blind; Realtors willshare comparable properties toplace a value on the prospectivehome.

    Then well sit down and comeup with an asking price, Lewissaid.

    When negotiating, its not onlyabout the buyer. The seller needsto be willing to negotiate a price,too.

    We want to be able to get thehighest price for the seller, Barn-shaw said, and the lowest pricefor the buyer.

    Buying a home: What to expectFrom starting the search to signing the papers, Realtors discuss specifics

    Meeting with a mortgage brokerBy KRISTEN DOWD

    The Sun

    The first step to buying a

    home is finding out how muchyou can afford.This is where a mortgage

    broker comes into play.The mortgage consultation

    is very important, AlyceKlaus, broker/sales representa-tive with Weichert RealtorsMoorestown, said. Its educa-tional, so the consumer doesntgo out based on just askingprice.

    Robert Salotto, president ofFirst Financial Lending in

    Cherry Hill, has been in themortgage business for 14 years.He said finding a good mort-gage broker is the first step inhome buying.

    Go to (a broker) you knowsomeone had a good experiencewith, he said. Theyre fair,theyre honest theyre goingto make money, as anyoneshould but youre going to geta fair, honest deal.

    A mortgage broker is therefrom the beginning to the endof the home-buying process,first providing a pre-approvalfor a homebuyer and, once ahouse is found, contacting thelender for loan approval, set-ting a closing date and assistingduring the closing.

    Everythings got to matchwith the paper trail, Salottosaid. Banks are trying to dofair business.

    The initial pre-approval willdetermine a consumers quali-

    fications for loan programs andrates.

    Of course, its not just a mat-ter of what a person can afford

    its also about what theyrecomfortable spending. Buyinga home just within your budgetis a personal risk.

    Just like anything else inlife, its a personal thing, DaveLewis, broker/owner of B.T.Edgar and Son Realtors in

    Moorestown, said. Do youwant to give up other things inlife?

    According to Anne E. Koons,sales associate with BerkshireHathaway HomeServices Fox &Roach, Realtors, in Cherry Hill,buying a house you are justworking to pay for doesntmake sense.

    If all youre doing is work-ing to pay for the house and youhave no other disposable in-come to do anything else with,

    its going to get to the point thatyou resent the house, she said.Should you buy as much asyou can? Yes, but within rea-son.

    When it comes to buying ahome, Salotto advises breakingeverything down to find out ifyou can really afford the house

    and the lifestyle you want tolive.

    People say, I want to spend$200,000. I want to spent$250,000. What does that reallyequate to? Salotto asked. Youhave to break that down fur-ther to your monthly pay-ment.

    Salotto provides his clientswith a money worksheet,which breaks down housing ex-penses, from insurance to take-out dinners.

    Property insurance, home-owners insurance, home re-pairs, cable bill, water bill,lawn care system, monthly car

    payments, health insurance,life insurance, food, veterinari-an bills, donations, Salotto list-ed. Its all in addition to thehouse.

    Salotto also advises factoring

    A mortgage broker will letyou know what documents areneeded to fill out a loan appli-

    cation, and each person maynot need the exact same paper-work, but keep in mind that thefollowing are typical:

    W-2 statements (two years) Financial statements (twomonths)

    Pay stubs (two most recent) Photo ID Marriage certificate or divorcedecree

    By KRISTEN DOWDThe Sun

    Its safe to say the Internet hasrevolutionized the real estate in-dustry.

    Fewer than two decades ago,house listingswould be submit-ted for printing inMLS books, often-times being soldbefore the publi-cation hit thestreets. Today,listings are post-ed online practi-cally instanta-

    neously, accessi-ble to viewersaround the world.

    I like theswiftness ofbeing able to list ahouse and thatsame day put it inthe MLS andfrom there it goesout to 30, 40 differ-ent websites,Anne E. Koons, asales associatewith BerkshireHathaway Home-Services Fox &Roach Realtors inCherry Hill, said.Its a lot easier todo business todaybecause every-thing is faster.

    Koons said sheembraced the In-ternet when it be-came a factor in her industry

    more than a decade ago, and shehasnt stopped using it since.

    Im all for the web. Its expo-sure. Someone in San Franciscocan see my homes. Someone inLondon. Someone in Montreal,Koons said. You never know

    whos moving into your area.According to the National As-

    sociation of Realtors, in 2013, 92percent of buyers used the Inter-net to search for a new home, and42 percent of buyers found thehome they purchased online,

    compared to 8percent in 2001.

    Buyers tendto be doing theirhomework aheadof time beforethey contact anagent, as far aswhat they likeand dont like,Dave Lewis, bro-

    ker/owner ofB.T. Edgar andSon Realtors inMoorestown,said. They paredown what theywant. Its a moreefficientprocess.

    Websites suchas Trulia.com,Zillow.com andRealtor.com arethe most popularfor prospectivebuyers.

    Realtors, how-ever, caution on-line informationcan be mislead-ing, likening thescenario to judg-ing a book by itscover.

    When yourelooking at photo-

    graphs, thats a good introduc-

    tion. But this is a huge invest-ment. Nobody is going to buy ahouse sight unseen, Alyce Klaus,broker/sales representative withWeichert Realtors Moorestown,said. When you take in this in-formation from the web, you take

    it in with an open mind that, insome cases, it may not be accu-rate.

    This includes estimated valuesfor homes, which are also listedon these websites.

    Zillow has a thing called Zesti-mates its a program in theirsoftware that gives you an ideawhat your home is worth, Lewisexplained, but in a town likeMoorestown, Haddonfield, townswhere they have eclectic homesnext to each other a ranch nextto a Victorian next to a colonial its not very accurate.

    He said people put too muchweight into what they find on

    these websites, but there are er-rors and its not perfect.

    Its good for a guide, but itsnot the gospel, Lewis said.

    Of course, it seems mostprospective buyers understandthis sentiment.

    The National Association ofRealtors reported that 90 percentof prospective buyers who startedtheir home search online lastyear still used a real estate profes-sional.

    In addition to having more ac-curate information than whatsavailable online, Realtors are alsoinvaluable when it comes toknowing about the area where ahome is located.

    I can tell which ones are byhigh tension wires, which onesare on a busy street, Koons said.Thats where my knowledgecomes into play.

    Klaus agreed.I think the consumer should

    go out and should look online and

    pursue information about thetown, but you cant determineproperty value online, Klaussaid, and that is truly where thatreal estate representative is goingto support your investment. Itsthat kind of guidance.

    Internet is a strong start for home buyingBy KRISTEN DOWD

    The Sun

    The rental market is goingwell, Lewis said. Individualswho lost jobs in the recessionare now renting to build upstronger credit.

    Theyre good people whogot stuck in a bad situation,Lewis said. They wait a cou-ple years for credit to get re-paired, and then they can getback into looking at houses.

    Damaged credit doesnt nec-essarily translate into notbeing able to own a home. At

    Weichert Realtors, there arerental consultations forprospective homebuyers whoare renting.

    So many people walkaround and say, I really could-nt afford to buy. But they real-ly can, Klaus said. A mark onyour credit doesnt mean itsgoing to stay there forever. Wedo the financial counseling towork toward credit repair. Peo-ple need guidance to improvetheir credit score.

    According to Lewis, forthose who have good credit, its

    prudent to buy rather thanrent.

    If youve got good credit,he said, you shouldnt be rent-ing, you should be buying.

    And with the market gettingbetter, its also a good time tobuy a home.

    These rates are the lowesttheyve been in 30 years. Actu-ally, closer to 40 years, Koonssaid. Eventually these ratesare going to go up and yourenot going to see them again If you can afford to pay $2,000to $4,000 in rent, you should bebuying a home, not renting a

    home. It just doesnt makesense.

    Renting to own a property or a lease purchase is anoth-er option. Renting to ownmeans a consumer will rent aproperty for a negotiable term,and a percentage of the rentgoes toward a down payment.

    Then, after that time peri-od, you have the down pay-ment the money saved andyou can buy the property,Lewis said. Its a good way togo if you dont have the downpayment.

    uptick of 55-plus communities inthe region.

    When we were coming out ofthe boom, there were a lot of dis-believers. The market contained alot of inventory that clearly couldno longer support what (sellers)were asking, Klaus said. Now,theyre listening to the real estateagents. Theres a higher percent-age of people priced right in themarketplace. The buyer traffic isextraordinarily good.

    (Buyers) like to look at a lot of

    inventory before they make thatselection. They dont like to com-promise, she continued. Weretrying to match up the buyer withtheir dream home.

    ments, which will help calculate aconsumers debt-to-income ratio.

    For real estate professionals, a

    pre-approval from a mortgagebroker is not just the suggestedfirst step in the home-buyingprocess its essential.

    We will not show you a house

    until you have a pre-approval,Angela Barnshaw, CEO of Had-donfield real estate agency

    Agent06, said. Its not about aloan its about a local lenderwhos with a good company, whohas a variety of loan productsthat they can offer you.
