By KATHY CHANGStaff Writer
sur North Brunswick youngsters are I being recognized this summer for their achievements as scholars, athletes and
artists.The township Department of Parks, Recre
ation and Community Services presented the Scholar/Athlete/Artist awards during a July council meeting to Jocelyn Rose Acosta and Nicole DeMato. This month, Brody Schrepfer and Joey Gaston received the awards.

She played with the recreation department’s lacrosse team in elementary and middle school, and intends to play in high school.
She became a member of the North Brunswick Rapids Swim Team when she was 6, and swims for Club Team Riptide.
The soon-to-be freshman has won first place numerous times with the Rapids in the league championships, has broken two Riptide records and has received awards including Most Team Spirit and Most Points Earned.
Nicole has volunteered in the Linwood Middle School office; sorted clothing, toys and household items for homeless shelters; and packed boxes of food items for Feed the Children.

Electronics are target of recent car burglaries in South Brunswick
South Brunswick police are asking for the public’s assistance in identifying the suspects responsible for a recent
rash of car burglaries in the parking lots of townhouse and apartment complexes.
The suspects have entered more than a dozen vehicles since early July, according to Police Lt. James Ryan.The burglaries all occurred during overnight hours.
The items stolen include radar detectors, navigation units and other electronics.
The most recent incidents took place in
the Wynwood complex in late July. Cars have also been entered in Royal Oaks and Whispering Woods. All three complexes are located just off Route 1.
In neighboring North Brunswick, similar incidents have been reported in developments including Society Hill, Governor’s Pointe and The Manor.
Police are urging people to lock their car doors.
South Brunswick police are asking anyone with information to call 732-329-4646.

This summer, Jersey Freeze — one of New Jersey’s most iconic ice cream stands did something it has never done before: serve hard ice cream.
This is no small change for the Freehold
business, considering that Jersey Freeze has been known for creamy soft-serve since its 1952 opening, with customers going nuts over flavors like strawberry and banana, in addition to the traditional vanilla and chocolate.

Resident salutes 'land of dreams' on anniversary of arrivalBy KATHY CHANGStaff Writer
Gabriel Chiappetta took his first step on United States soil on Aug. 6, 1954.
Sixty years later, Chiappetta, family members and longtime friends came together to celebrate the special anniversary.
“I love this country a lot,” he said with a smile. “I came with $1.65 in my pocket, and all my dreams have come true.”
Chiappetta was bom in 1930 and raised in southern Italy. He came to America as a civil engineering student when he was 24 years old.
In 1967, he traveled back to Italy and met up with his childhood sweetheart, Rosaria. They married in 1968, moved to the U.S. and started a life together in New Jersey, raising daughters Brenda, Claudia and Dina.
The couple now has two sons-in-law, Chris and Snehal, and five grandchildren, Jonathan, Sara, Laura, Hanna and Devan.
The Chiappettas initially lived in New Brunswick but soon moved to North Brunswick. Since 1976, they have lived on Curie Road in their second North Brunswick home.
Brenda Dailey said her father may be considered more patriotic than many of those who were bom and raised in the U.S.
“He just loves to host a gathering,” she said. “In the beginning of the year, he told us that it would be 60 years he has been in America and he would like to celebrate.”
“I am very patriotic,” said Chiappetta, now 83 and retired after 33 years with Johnson & Johnson. "America has been so good to me. America gave me so many opportunities starting from scratch. ... It is the land of dreams.”
Chiappetta has been a fixture in the township. He was a special police officer in
North Brunswick from 1970 to 1975. He was also a crossing guard for many years at Cranbury Cross Road and Newton Street.
Douglas Lundeen, his wife Donna and their daughter Eva met Chiappetta seven years ago when he would stop traffic for Eva as she made her way to Linwood Middle School.
“I’m a music professor at Rutgers University, and we started talking about music,” Lundeen said, noting that Chiappetta is an “opera buff.”
The two became friends and over the years have shared dinners and produce from Chiappetta’s massive backyard garden.
“He is just an enthusiastic and positive person,” Lundeen said of Chiappetta.
Wendy Krushinski and her daughter Ashley attended the Aug. 3 celebration, along with Pat and Dan Krushinski, former neighbors of the Chiappettas.
“Gabe says my husband Douglas is the son he never had,” Wendy said with a smile. “He grew up living across the street from the Chiappettas.”
Eddie and Audrey Brys, and Ruth Kar- ren, all of East Brunswick, consider Chiappetta a great friend they met at Johnson & Johnson in 1960.
“We do something every day,” Eddie said.
Audrey said her husband and Gabe are “like partners in crime.”
The celebration included fine Italian food and a chocolate cake that featured an American flag and read ‘Thank You America — 1954 to 2014.” Chiappetta also wrote a poem, “Thank you America,” for the occasion.
Chiappetta said he was grateful for the opportunity to pursue his dreams in the U.S.
“Thank you for the memories,” he wrote in the poem. “With all my respect, I salute you.”

Middlesex County 200 Club helps further educationBy DONNA KENYONExecutive Editor
The strength of family was an underlying theme as the 200 Club of Middlesex County awarded scholarships to 117 children of public safety personnel.
Middlesex County Prosecutor AndrewC. Carey spoke o f the importance of supportive families of public safety workers and termed the 200 Club scholarship program “a terrific thing.”
Jay J. Ziznewski, an attorney with Wilentz, Goldman & Spitzer and chairman of the 200 Club, said the scholarships went to “impressive young people.... Obviously their parents are doing something right.”
The Aug. 7 ceremony was held at Middlesex County College, Edison, and hosted by College President and 200 Club trustee Joann LaPerla-Morales.
Scholarships were given in several categories, including to those with “exceedingly high academic standards, some with perfect grades,” Ziznewski said.
Ron H. Franz, executive director of the 200 Club and a retired New Jersey State Police captain, said a total o f $135,000 in scholarships was given to 117 deserving sons and daughters of police, fire, EMS and HAZMAT employees who live in Middlesex County.
The 2014 scholarship awards bring the total to more than $2.5 million since the program began. The club receives support from business and professional people in the county who support law enforcement, Ziznewski said. Each member gives $200 annually to fund the organization, although “some are much more generous,” he said.
The scholarships went to students from
towns throughout Middlesex County, many receiving awards for the second and third year in a row.
Michael G. McLaughlin serves as president of the nonprofit organization that honors law enforcement officers in a valor ceremony each year.
The 200 Club is made up of the leaders of business, industry, labor, public service and other professions whose goal is to provide financial assistance and comfort to families of law enforcement and public safety officials who are killed or disabled in the line of duty. The club’s motto, “We Remember,” is a pledge to support the men and women who put their lives on the line every day.
Major corporate sponsors, who make a $5,000 donation, include Investors Bank, Middlesex County Chiefs of Police Asso
ciation, Frank Pimpinella, Star-Delta Electric, Provident Bank and PSE&G. Scholarships of $1,500 were awarded in their names.
Corporate/business sponsors, $1,500 donation, are Atlantic Realty, B&L Towing, Bayshore Recycling, BDG Hotels, Brunswick Bank & Trust, Carteret FMBA- Local 67, Ray Catena Motor Cars, Edison FD-Local 1197, Falcon Maintenance, IBEW 456, Chuck Kravitz (Memorial for Martin J.

Rabid groundhog found in North Brunswick
NORTH BRUNSWICK — A groundhog tested positive for rabies last week, marking the first positive rabies specimen in the township this year.
The groundhog was found in the vicinity of Westlake Court and Parkside Drive on Aug. 6. It is one of seven animals that tested positive for rabies in Middlesex County this year, according to the Middlesex County Office of Health Services.
An animal control officer responded to an Aug. 4 call that a family dog fought with a groundhog that appeared ill in a resident’s backyard.
The groundhog was euthanized and sent to the New Jersey Department of Health Laboratory for testing.
The Office of Health Services is advising residents to follow the following guide-

• Immediately report a bite from a wild or domestic animal to the local health department. Wash animal bite wounds thoroughly with soap and water as soon as possible after the bite. Contamination of open cuts or scratches with saliva of potentially rabid animals should also be washed off immediately. Consult a physician as soon as possible.
• Immediately report any wild animal showing signs of unusual behavior.
• Look out for unusual animal behavior such as moving slowly, acting tame, appearing sick, having problems swallowing, having an increase of saliva, having increased drooling, acting aggressive, having difficulty moving and biting at everything if excited.
•Avoid any contact with the animal and call the local animal control officer or local police department.
• Be sure all family pets are up to date on their rabies vaccinations. Call the health department for the availability of free vaccinations.
• Animal-proof homes and yards. Make sure all garbage containers have tight-fitting lids. Do not leave pet food or water outside, and do not allow rainwater to collect in outdoor containers or equipment. Keep the yard free of garbage and debris.
• Do not feed or handle wild animals.• Avoid contact with stray animals.• Try to prevent pets from coming in
contact with wild animals.• Screen off vents to attics and other

COVER STORY
Ice c r e a m(Continued from page 1)
The addition of hard ice cream on Jersey Freeze’s menu is one of many strategies that local ice cream shops have applied to stay afloat. With competition from frozen- yogurt stores, ice cream chains and the supermarket freezer aisle, local ice cream businesses in New Jersey are forced more than ever to appeal to a customer base that is growing more and more demanding.
And for Jersey Freeze, it’s working.“This year, we’re doing so much better
because of the hard ice cream,” said Katie Dinonno, general manager of Jersey Freeze. “A lot of people aren’t soft ice cream fans, so if you didn’t like soft ice cream, you wouldn’t come here. But now I feel like people that like soft and hard can come together and come here. It’s your one-stop shop.”
Though Jersey Freeze doesn’t make the hard ice cream in house due to space constraints — it sells Gilford’s World Class Ice Cream from j Maine — it has already accounted for 40 to 45 percent of the shop’s sales.
“It’s the best hard ice f cream you’ll ever have,” Di- 1 nonno said.
Some businesses, like j M agnifico’s in East Brunswick, have chosen to get by without hard ice cream. Along with his daughter, Nicole, owner Gary Magnifico said he has run his business essentially the same way since opening in 1981, offering a rotation of soft flavors such as j salted caramel, pistachio and Brazilian coffee.
“The only thing I’m doing is improving on improvement,” Gary said.
One such improvement is a vestibule added to the store five years ago to protect customers from rain and wind as they stand in line. The vestibule improved sales by 25 percent on days with bad weather.
Magnifico’s also stands out due to its homemade novelties, such as the ice cream-filled cannoli, chip- wich sliders and hot waffles.
“See if you can go get a delicious, board- walk-style hot waffle anywhere in any ice cream store ... and I’m not talking about a waffle that’s not good. I’m talking about something that’s unbelievable,” Gary said.
Another element that’s helped Magnifico’s in recent years is social media, with Nicole luring customers to the store through appetizing photos posted on Facebook and Instagram.
“It definitely has helped,” Nicole said.Some businesses, like What’s the Scoop

Father and daughter Gary and Nicole Magnifico have made Magnifico’s in East Brunswick a major ice cream destination thanks to their homemade novelties.
in Metuchen, have emphasized hot food in addition to serving more than 100 recipes of hard and soft ice cream. Five years ago, owner Mike Patterson introduced pizza to his ice cream store — a major challenge, considering that Metuchen already had sev
eral respected pizza restaurants.“[Our pizza] had to gain the trust of
the locals that we actually make a very | good pie,” Patterson said.
The pizza has been well-received, J5 with its thin crust differentiating it
from some other pizzas in town.What’s the Scoop also serves subs
and hot dogs.“We don’t want to be every
thing to everybody, but at the same time, we want to have options for folks who want pizza and a hot lunch,” Patterson said. “And who doesn’t love pizza and ice cream?”
This year has also seen i some notable openings and
closings of ice cream shops.Mike Reutter, the owner
of Jake’s Cree-Mee Freeze, lost the lease to his Millstone location last winter, making this the first summer that the ice cream business operated only in Manalapan.
Fortunately, the loss of a location hasn’t stopped de
voted customers from coming back.
“We have a loyal following,” Reutter said. “And we really tested that out this year [with the loss of the Millstone location],
just how loyal our customers are. It’s been a blessing.”
Hoffman’s Ice Cream & Yogurt— a staple of Point Pleasant Beach— opened up a new location this
year in Long Branch. Four Boys Ice Cream, which opened in Englishtown in 2005, added locations in Jamesburg last year and Belmar this year.
JoAnn Becker, who runs Four Boys with her family, said local ice cream shops survive because they offer “the personal touch.”
“It’s your reputation,” Becker said. “This is your baby.... Every decision we make has to be for the business, and that’s why we’re successful, and Jersey Freeze is successful, and Jake’s Cree-Mee Freeze is successful.
“And I never want to get so big that you lose that personal touch — that’s the thing.”

Police charge woman, 23, with heroin possession
SOUTH BRUNSWICK — A 23-year-old township woman was chained last week with possession of heroin and other drugs in the home she shared with her 1 -year-old son.
Police detectives executed a search warrant at Danielle Zitowsky’s home in the Royal Oaks apartment complex on the morning of July 30, according to South Brunswick police Lt. Janies Ryan.
Detectives allegedly recovered various substances — including heroin, marijuana and prescription drugs — from her residence.
Zitowsky’s son was located in the home at the time of the search, police said.
She was charged with second-degree child endangerment, possession of heroin, possession of marijuana, possession of prescription drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia:
Zitowsky was processed and transported to the Middlesex County Adult Correction Center in North Brunswick on $50,000 bail. State officials placed her son in the custody of a family member, Ryan said.
Police Chief Raymond Hayducka thanked the Middlesex County Prosecutor’s Office for its assistance with the investigation.
"The heroin problem knows no boundaries, and getting this young child into a safe environment was paramount,” he said.
Anyone with information about the case should contact Detective Ken Herman at 732-329-4000, ext. 7469.

W here can you find firefighters, senior citizens and teenagers exercising together to improve
their quality of life?CrossFit is a burgeoning strength and
conditioning program that utilizes functional movem ents from weightlifting to gymnastics even as it transcends age, gender and socioeconom ic boundaries.
“My youngest client was 13 and my oldest is 66,” says Danielle Edmundson, w ho ow ns CrossFit Santa Cruz, Calif. “Many are middle-aged w orking people w ith families, some are non-athletes and som e have com petitive athletics backgrounds. Some of our m em bers are college or high school-level com petitive athletes w anting to get help w ith their sport conditioning, a few are firefighters and police officers.”
“CrossFit is an approach to fitness that is broad, general and inclusive,” says Tony Budding, form er director of media and conten t for Washington, D.C.-based CrossFit Inc.“CrossFit is not a specific exercise program. It’s a system that maximizes fitness. All CrossFit exercises are functional movements. Functional movem ents are the natural, essential, ubiquitous m ovem ents of life. Outside the gym, w e move our bodies and m ove external objects in three-dimensional space.“So in CrossFit, participants move their bodies and external objects in three-dimensional space.

tions.”What com prises a CrossFit workout? “It’s constandy varied in the sense
that w e feel routine is the enemy,” says TimThackrey, ow ner and trainer at CrossFit High Voltage, Burbank, Calif.
“That means running, jumping, throw ing, moving the way your body was m eant to move. We do lots of Olympic lifts (clean and jerk, snatch), dead lifts, tons o f pull- ups, gymnastic rings, medicine balls, kettle bells, barbells. Just no machines. We don ’t use machines.”
These m ovem ents are done for either a set am ount o f repetitions as quickly as can be done safely, Thackrey says. O r they are done for a set am ount o f time w ith the goal being how many repetitions o r rounds can be com pleted. O ther days participants try to see how m uch they can lift.
“Our w orkouts are short, mostly under 20 minutes, many betw een 5-10, som e even less than that,"Thackrey says. “But if you do it right, in that 10 minutes you’ll not only have com pleted more w ork than you used to do in tw o hours at a regular gym, you w on’t be able to do another w orkout that day.”
Thackrey was draw n to CrossFit after he left the U.S. National Taekwondo Team. One “normal gym routine” later,
he was starting to think he w ould never work out again.Then,Thackrey says, he tried a w orkout from the online site and “got through about half of it before 1 was crushed. Crushed and extremely happy. I ’ve never w orked out a different way since.”
Soldiers, police and firefighters have been attracted to CrossFit exercises, w hich help prepare anyone for the unexpected.
“(CrossFit) enables you to actually do things w hen it counts, not just look like you can do som ething w hen it counts,’’Thackrey says. “Add this w ith constant variance, and you’re creating som eone w ho can pretty m uch handle anything you throw at them."
Increased muscle mass, decreased body fat, improved metabolic conditioning, im proved bone density, greater strength, power, flexibility, and endurance are all benefits attributed to CrossFit, Budding says.
“But perhaps m ore importantly, the skills and com petencies developed in functional movem ent translate to almost all activities in life. Indeed, there is a m arked im provem ent in the quality of life," Budding says. “Learning how to move your body and external objects in the m ost efficient, effective and safe m anner is just as im portant for the office w orker as for the soldier.”

Learn the benefits of safe stretchingBy Dr. M ichael T. Lu
You may think that stretching is just som ething to be done jf you have a few extra m inutes before
jumping on the treadmill.The main concern is exercising, not stretching, right?
Although studies about the benefits o f stretching are mixed, stretching may help you improve your joint range of m otion, w hich in turn may help improve your athletic perform ance and decrease your risk of injury.
Stretching can help improve flexibility. Better flexibility may improve your perform ance in physical activities or decrease your risk of injuries by helping yourjoints move r X h M wthrough their full f la f lU lo m U » a a range o f motionand enabling your muscles to work most effectively. Stretching also increases blood flow to the muscle.
If your current stretching routine doesn’t appear to improve overall flexibility, then you may w ant to consider making some changes.The American Council on Exercise w arns against stretching cold muscles and prom otes warm-up activities before stretching.
Traditional stretches such as bending over to touch your toes o r stretching out your legs on a fence may be part of your pre-exercise routine, but this type of stretching, also know n as static stretching, increases your risk o f injury and does not prom ote flexibility.
Use diese tips to keep stretching safe:
• Focus on major muscle groups.W hen you’re stretching, focus on major muscle groups such as your calves, thighs, hips, low er back, neck and shoulders.
• D on’t bounce. Stretch in a smooth movem ent, w ithout bouncing. Bouncing as you stretch can cause injury to your muscle.
• Hold your stretch. Hold each stretch for about 30 seconds; in problem areas, you may need to hold for around 60 seconds. Breathe normally as you stretch.
• D on’t aim for pain. Expect to feel tension while you’re stretching, not pain. If it hurts, you’ve pushed too far.
• Make stretches sport specific. Some evidence suggests that it’s helpful to do stretches tailored for your sport o r activity. If you play soccer, for instance, you’re more vulnerable to ham string strains so opt for stretches that help your hamstrings.

Avoiding summer skin problemsA lexandra (,aracitas
Sum m er is in full swing and hopefully your fun hasn’t been jeopardized by anything that causes

Contracting poison ivy o r poison oak can really put a dam per on a day in the great outdoors.The medical nam e for these issues is contact dermatitis, w hich refers to any condition that occurs

The best way to prevent contact dermatitis is to be hyper aware o f your surroundings. Google w hat poison ivy and poison oak look like. Be careful w hen camping, hiking or walking. Avoid tall grasses and stick to the paths.Treat these contact issues w ith over-the- counter hydrocortisone, but if the rash is m ore severe you may need a prescription strength steroid from your ow n dermatologist o r family physician.

bite or not bite is m ore com plicated than you might think. Carbon dioxide production, and the lipid mix on the surface o f the skin, are w hat attract bugs to humans. Mosquitos find hum ans by determ ining w here carbon dioxide is being produced. As humans, producing carbon dioxide is pretty m uch unavoidable (w e can ’t exactly stop breathing to prevent a mosquito bite). Each person ’s lipid m ixture is a bit m ore varied. Everyone has a different com position o f lipids on the surface of the skin, made up of cholesterol, triglycerides, ceram ides and o ther fats. Certain lipid m ixtures are more appealing to bugs.This is why it is com m on for some people to get bitten m ore than others.
Unfortunately, your skin's lipid mix is based on genetics.You can ’t change your DNA, but there are some preventative measures that everyone can take to avoid sum m er bites. The C enters for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recom m ends using bug repellents that contain DEET, picardin o r oil o f lemon eucalyptus. Sleep inside o r in a screened-in area like a tent. If you have a bug bite that Ls unusually itchy or feels painful, contact your family physician or dermatologist.
If you live in w orkout clothes or
Spandex, you could be at risk for developing folliculitis. It is particularly easy to contract this bacterial infection in the sum m er months. Bacteria thrive in w arm , moist dark conditions, like sweaty t-shirts o r dam p bathing suits. Folliculitis looks like red bum ps or pustules and is com m only found on shoulders, thighs
and bottom s. Folliculitis can be itchy o r burn. Folliculitis can also be contracted in hot tubs. Be sure that every hot tub you spend time in is p roperly chlorinated.
If you are sweaty, rinse off. Change out o f tight clothes after exercising and try not to w ear Spandex all day. If you plan to be out for the w hole day and it is very humid, bring a change o f clothes. An antibacterial cleanser can help
prevent and treat folliculitis. If you notice som ething that looks like folliculitis, contact your family physician o r derm atologist. More severe cases require an oral antibacterial.

M a tr ix h a v e im p re s s iv e s h o w in g a t A A A B A to u rn e yBy WARREN RAPPLEYEACorrespondent
Several area players helped the New Brunswick Matrix post three wins in five games at the 70th annual All American Amateur Baseball Association (AAABA)
Tournament last week in Johnstown, Pa.More than half of the Matrix’s roster
was comprised of players from the Greater Middlesex Conference (GMC), including three from South Brunswick — Sean Keenan, who pitches for Marist University; Danny Strickland, who hurls for Mercer County Community College; and Brandon Dolan, a St. Joseph High School of Metuchen graduate who throws for Gloucester County College.
Other local players include Alex Christian, a Spotswood High School graduate who now plays for The College of New Jersey, and Helmetta’s Anthony Brucato, who recently completed his high school career at Rutgers Preparatory School and will be heading to St. John’s University in the fall. In addition, the Matrix is managed by Spotswood coach Glenn Fredericks.
The Matrix came out flat in their Aug. 5 opener, scoring just two runs and falling to the Des Plaines (Illinois) Patriots, the team that went on to win the tournament. Placed in the loser’s bracket of the double-elimina- tion event, New Brunswick bounced back
with a 9-4 victory over Buffalo, N.Y. Rutgers University’s Howie Brey, a Middletown High School South graduate, started on the hill and did a solid job. Montclair State University’s Pete Monahan came on in relief to earn the save.
Dolan got the ball for the third game and tossed five innings before allowing a hit, as the Matrix’s bats remained hot to eliminate Diamond Buddies of New York City, 18-3.
“It was a total team thing,” Fredericks said. “It seemed like everyone was hitting for us in those two games.”
In the next game, the Matrix put up six second-inning runs on just two hits to jump ahead of Schenectady, N.Y. Perth Amboy’s Emilio Calderone, who plays at Kean University, earned the win on the mound, with Monahan getting the save after working out of a bases-loaded jam in the ninth inning.
Brucato, who hit .300 for the tournament and played stellar defense in right field, suffered facial cuts and a broken nose while trying to make a difficult catch in the fifth inning. Although he had to leave the game, he was back the next day.
“That tells you what kind of kid [Brucato] is,” Fredericks said. “He was determined to play, and he played well. He’s going to be a great college player.”
That set up a meeting with M artella’s Pharmacy, one of two teams representing
Johnstown in the tournament. New Brunswick staked Keenan to a 2-0 first inning lead, as Brucato led off and scored on a triple. A fielder’s choice plated the second run.
Keenan gutted his way through five innings, leaving with the score tied 2-2. He was aided by Christian, who backhanded a hard grounder just off the third base line, touched the bag with his glove and threw to first to complete a double play. Christian, who played second base and catcher during the tournament, banged out an RBI-single that keyed a three-run seventh inning rally that put the Matrix up, 5-2 — a lead they took into the ninth inning.
Living dangerously caught up with New Brunswick in the ninth. Through the first eight innings, Martella’s left 18 runners on base. Aided by several walks, Martella’s put together a five-run rally and took the lead, although Fredericks thought some of the calls were questionable.
‘They drew 15 walks and we only got three,” he said. “That was pretty frustrating, but I thought our guys handled the loss like pros. It’s tough to lose in the last inning, but I’m proud of our guys.”
Prior to the AAABA tournament, the Matrix posted a 20-8 record and finished first in the Atlantic Baseball Confederation Collegiate League.

Orange Key Realty: ‘Diamond in the rough’ house huntingUse your imagination. Many people
choose to remodel/stage their homes prior to putting it on the market, but then there are the vast majority of people
who choose to sell their home “as is.” “Although a ‘perfect’ home is ideal for
people who want to move right in as is, there are those homes that are actually great purchases that need a little polishing.” says Michael Matthews, broker/owner of Orange Key Realty.
Keep in mind the following as you approach your house hunt:
.Recording to Ofir Hillel, broker/owner, “Old isn’t always synonymous with bad.
Some homes built decades ago have stood the test of time because they were built with solid, quality materials and have a classic style. Some newer homes are “affordable” because they were built cheaply. Remember that there are many simple fixes for dated homes, and the plus side of an older home is the charm and character you can’t find in a new build.”
Ignore the existing paint choices and focus on the structure of the room, the placement of the windows, etc. Paint is an easy and a cheap fix in a home and something you can change in just a couple hours.
Wallpaper: Remember that wallpaper is
easily replaced or covered over. So no matter how design-challenged the walls seem to look - it’s an easy fix.
The kitchen is the heart of the home, and sometimes, the appliances aren’t going to live up to your dreams. As long as you have room in your budget a sellers yellow fridge shouldn’t be a deal breaker.
Carpet: Flooring options are getting more and more diverse, and there are now so many low-cost options that look exactly like their higher-priced counterparts.
Odors: Except for a serious mold problem, there’s nothing a deep cleaning can’t fix. Plug your nose and focus on the home’s
bones and the potential it has when you give it your own touch.
Curb appeal: Close your eyes and envision a different colored front door and some new landscaping, and presto — it might just be your dream home.
Popcorn ceilings: A ceiling specialist can come in and have it all that scraped off.

Moving on upToday's rising equity has som e owners thinking of cashing out
and upgrading their hom e.
By M ad h u sm ita B ora C T W F ea tu re s
The recession that plagued the housing market is fast receding and home prices and values are not just resurfacing. They are shooting up.
The Standard & Poor’s/Case-Shiller 20-city home price index jumped 12.4 percent in March compared to the year- ago period. In several markets across the country prices are well above the 2007- 2008 levels, according to RealtyTrac. Suddenly, the market is a seller’s paradise.
While many potential first-time buyers are struggling with loan approvals and overpriced yet sparse inventory, the situation is quite different for existing homeowners. They are reaping the benefits of growing equity on their homes.
So, is now a good time to invest in that
move-up home before affordability becomes an issue?
“Things are balancing out with inventory increasing and interest rates still low,” says Leslie Piper, a Realtor and consumer-housing specialist with Realtor.com. “Rates won’t stay low forever so it’s a smart time to consider taking the leap and moving into a larger home while locking into a great rate.”
Yet others say that the market is still very complicated and it’s best to tread with caution. Daren Blomquist, vice president of RealtyTrac, says it’s going to be a tricky dance for homeowners looking to move up.
“The positive is it's a great time to sell,” he says. “[Owners] probably hold a lot of equity on their cunrent homes and will be able
to sell quickly.”But, the problem would be finding the
new, bigger home at an affordable price. Here are a few tips for buyers looking to move into a bigger home.
Sell now, buy later Summer is the busiest season for the
housing industry. With inventory levels still low, Blomquist says it’s a good time to sell and reap a good price. But, this may not be a good time to buy because the market is fiercely competitive. “I think a good strategy would be to sell now and possibly wait until the fall or winter to buy when it becomes a buyer’s market,” he says.
Do your homework Find a trusted Realtor. Consult friends
and family and interview a few agents before finding someone you are comfortable with. Map school districts and places that have open houses on Sundays, Piper says. Get access to apps that will help you with the buying process (think calculating mortgages and listing updates).
“Having the pulse of the market is very important,” Piper says.
Practice patience Be ready to make four or five offers be
fore you land a home, Blomquist says. Don’t
offer more than what the property is worth or what you can actually afford. Budget your expenses well and make a wish list, Piper adds. Make sure you have enough money left after your mortgage payment to buy furniture and pay your utilities.
Be creative in your search Besides hiring a Realtor and looking at
the usual places, expand your search to.4fee social media. Look for properties that other buyers may not be interested in or know about. “As many as 30 percent pocket listings are not listed with agents,” Blomquist says. “You need to tap into those places.”
Don’t be too picky • Look at foreclosures and distressed
properties. Many of those homes are not listed for sale but are likely to hit the market in the near future.
Get financing in order The market is filled with cash buyers,
and they are fiercely competitive. It’s more important than ever to have a pre- qualified mortgage before you start shopping. Look for a property that’s priced less than what you can afford, which will help if there are multiple bids, Blomquist says.
