Outdoor improvements that boost home value W

hether home improvement projects are design to improve the interior or exterior of a house, focusing on renovations that make the most financial sense can benefit homeowners in the long run. The right renovations can be assets if and when homeowners decide to sell their homes.

So how does one get started? First and foremost, speak to a local real estate agent who is knowledgeable about trends in the community. While a swimming pool may be something coveted in one area, it may impede sales in another. It also helps to study generalized trends and data from various home improvement industry analysts to guide upcoming projects.

The following outdoor projects are just a few renovations that tend to add value.

• Fire pit: A fire pit is a great place to gather most months of the year. Bob Vila and CBS news report that a fire pit realizes a 78 percent return on investment, or ROI. • Outdoor kitchen: Many buyers are looking to utilize their yards as an extension of interior living areas. Cooking, dining and even watching TV out-

The following outdoor projects are just a few renovations that tend to add value. doors is increasingly popular. Outdoor living areas can be custom designed and built. In addition, prefabricated modular units that require a much smaller commitment of time and money are available.

• Patio: Homeowners who do not already have a patio will find that adding one can increase a home’s value. Patios help a home look neat, add useable

space and may help a home to sell quickly. The experts at Space Wise, a division of Extra Space Storage, say that refinishing, repairing and building a new patio offers strong ROI. • Deck: Deck can be as valuable as patios. A deck is another outdoor space that can be used for entertaining, dining and more. Remodeling magazine’s 2018 “Cost vs. Value” report indicates that an $11,000 deck can add about $9,000 in resale value to the home, recouping around 82 percent of the project’s costs.

• Door update: Improve curb appeal with a new, high-end front door and garage doors. If that’s too expensive, a good cleaning and new coat of paint can make an old door look brand new. These easy fixes can improve a home’s look instantly.

• New landscaping: The National Association of Realtors says an outdoor makeover that includes well-thought out landscaping can net 105 percent ROI. Installing a walkway, adding stone planters, mulching, and planting shrubs are ideas to consider.

Many different outdoor projects can add value to a home.

Remove personal items and photos, so buyers can picture their lives in your home. Keep the decor and clutter to a minimum.

❑ Make Repairs Consider getting a pre-sale home inspection to find any necessary repairs that might prevent a sale from getting approval or discourage a buyer.

Second, consider cosmetic repairs like new fixtures and neutral paint colors that will make a home feel fresh, clean and modern. You may also want to consider low cost repairs that will bring a high return on your investment.

❑ Curb Appeal The first impression when a buyer pulls up to your home will set the tone for the rest of the tour. Make

sure the lawn is well cared for. Trim back any bushes or low hanging branches that would block the view of the front of the house. A

fresh coat of paint will take the years off. Make sure the house is well lit at night and sweep the walkways.

Don’t underestimate the importance of curb appeal.

❑ Hire a Professional Sellers using real estate agents to sell their homes can net an average of$26,000 more than those who don’t hire an agent.

Agents understand the local market and the marketing practices necessary to sell your home.

❑ Get Ready When a buyer is coming to look at your property, it’s important that your home looks and smells clean, but beware of using too much air freshener. Make your beds, vacuum, sweep and clean all hard surfaces. Clear kitchen countertops as much as possible. Close toilet seats and turn on all the lights.

Laundry should be put away, if not take it with you and deal with it later. Grab your pets, (the laundry basket) and be prepared to spend some time away from the home for the duration of the visit.

Windows help regulate the temperature in a home, let in natural light and keep insects, weather and outdoor elements outside where they belong. The right windows also can add value to a property by providing aesthetic appeal and increasing curb appeal.

Although homeowners can typically get many years out of their homes’ windows, ultimately windows will need to be replaced. Homes that are more than 20 years old and still have their original windows could be due for an upgrade.

Aluminum- or wood-framed windows also may be ripe for changing. Here are some signs that it’s time to replace windows, courtesy of Good Housekeeping, Centra® and the real estate website Redfin.

• Drafty feel in the home: Window frames can begin to shrink as they age, allowing air to flow from the outdoors in and vice versa. Homeowners may notice drafts when standing near windows or hear whistling on notably windy days.

• Rising energy bills: If energy bills are inexplicably on the rise, then old windows could be to blame. Aging, drafty windows can make it necessary to run HVAC systems more often and at higher or lower temperatures in order to keep homes comfortable.

• Windows are difficult to open or close: Homeowners may get used to the quirks of their windows, but those that are difficult to open or close may require replacement. In addition, if windows need to be propped open, it’s time to replace them.

• Water infiltration: Warping or decaying window frames can make it easy for rain or snow to get into the home.

Wood frames are particularly prone to moisture decay. If frames are warping or allowing water into the home, it’s time for an upgrade.

• Condensation on windows: Fog or condensation buildup on windows can occur if the seal between panes is broken. In this instance, replacement windows are necessary.

Simple, inexpensive staging strategies S

taging has long been part of selling a home, and for good reason. When selling a home, it makes sense for sellers to make their homes as appealing as possible, even if a recent study indicates that staging may not compel buyers to offer more money.

Researchers at Old Dominion University and Johns Hopkins University found that staging did not have a significant effect on the actual revealed market value of a property. However, homeowners should not interpret that as a reason to skip staging.

In fact, the study’s authors note that staging gave buyers more favorable impressions of a property, which might accelerate the selling process.

Staging a home need not be difficult. In fact, homeowners can employ several simple and inexpensive staging strategies to entice buyers to make offers on their homes.

• Clear out the clutter, especially in bathrooms and closets. Clear out the clutter in each room in the house before hosting an open house. Note that it’s not just bedrooms and living rooms that should be made to look open, spacious and clutter-free. A luxurious, hotel-quality bathroom that’s open and airy can impress buyers, as can organized closets that are not jam packed with clothing, shoes and other wardrobe items that have a tendency to take over closets

An inviting, clutter-free foyer or entryway can make a strong first impression on prospective home buyers. the longer someone lives in a home.

• Let the sun shine in. A home that’s bright and airy tends to appear more spacious and livable than

one in which the windows and blinds are closed.

Before hosting an open house, open the blinds and crack some windows if the weather permits.

• Start right inside the front door. A welcoming, clutter-free foyer or primary entryway makes a strong first impression, immediately giving buyers an idea of what it will be like to welcome their own friends and family into a home should they buy it. If you hang your coats on a coat rack in a foyer or entryway that does not have a closet, remove the coat rack before hosting an open house. Coat racks can make the space feel cramped. If there’s room, place a small table and bench just inside the door.

• Take care of the yard. You only get one chance to make a first impression, and the first thing buyers will see when they pull up outside your house is the exterior of your home. Landscaping is important, and a well-maintained yard suggests to buyers that owners have taken pride in their homes, and that may extend inside the home. Make sure the grass is freshly cut, shrubs and trees have been trimmed, bald spots in the lawn have been addressed, and exterior living spaces have been cleaned and cleared of clutter.

Staging a home sounds complicated. But there are various simple and inexpensive ways to make a home more attractive to prospective buyers.

Benefits to open concept floor plans T

he way a home is designed can say a lot of things about it. In fact, many real estate professionals and contractors can determine when a home was built based on the design of its interior. For example, homes with sunken living rooms were likely built sometime in the 1960s and 1970s.

Open concept living rooms are one trend that might one day make people nostalgic for the early 21st century. Many of today’s home buyers want homes with open concept floor plans, which can give homes a more spacious feel, perhaps even creating the illusion that a home is bigger than it really is.

Home buyers who have never before enjoyed open concept floor plans can consider these benefits to these wildly popular layouts.

Entertainment Many people who live in homes with open concept floor plans cite their convenience when entertaining as one of their biggest assets. In an open concept home, guests don’t have to be corralled into a single room in the home. Instead, hosts and their guests can roam freely from room to room because there are no walls dividing common areas. This can

most applicable to parents of young children. Open concept floor plans allow parents to keep an eye on their children while cooking dinner, working from home or tending to other chores around the house.

Since there are no walls to divide rooms in open concept homes, parents don’t have to wonder what their curious kids are up to because they can see them at all times.

Many of today’s home buyers want homes with open concept floor plans, which can give homes a more spacious feel, perhaps even creating the illusion that a home is bigger than it really is. make gatherings feel less cramped than in homes with more traditional floor plans.

Safety The safety of open concept floor plans may be

Flexibility Open concept floor plans give homeowners more flexibility. For example, homes with more traditional floor plans may have designated spaces for dining areas. These spaces don’t leave much room to work with and may not be valued by homeowners who don’t often host dinners at home. As a result, such rooms may just be wasted square footage. With an open concept floor plan, homeowners have the flexibility to make dining areas as big or small as they see fit and can even adjust the rooms on the fly on those occasions when people are coming over.

Open concept floor plans continue to be popular among home buyers and might prove to be the most lasting home design trend of the early 21st century.

Why it’s smart to have a smart home D

evices are everywhere. According to a recent visual networking index forecast from Cisco, by 2021, there will be four networked devices and connections per person across the globe. Those figures are even greater in North America, where Cisco estimates each person will have 13 networked devices and connections by 2021.

With all those devices, it’s no surprise that a greater number of people are embracing the smart home movement. Those who have yet to jump on the bandwagon can benefit from learning more about smart homes and why it’s intelligent to have a smart home.

What is a smart home?

According to SmartHomeUSA.com, the term “smart home” is commonly used to define residences in which appliances, lighting, heating and cooling units, televisions, computers, entertainment systems, and security systems are capable of communicating with one another. Each of these components can be controlled remotely, typically via a smartphone.

Why is it smart to have a smart home?

The benefits of a smart home are numerous,

sionals who find it difficult to juggle all of their daily responsibilities.

• Money: Another benefit to smart homes is their cost savings. Because devices can be controlled remotely, smart home owners can adjust the temperatures on their heating and cooling units while away from home. That means they can arrive home each night to a comfortable home without having to run their HVAC systems all day while no one was home.

In fact, the CNET/Coldwell Banker survey found 45 percent of Americans say that smart home products save them an average of $98.30 each month.

• Investment: Whether you’re a developer or a single-family homeowner, real estate is an investment. Making a home as appealing to prospective buyers as possible is a great way to get a better return on your real estate investment. The CNET/Coldwell Banker survey found that 81 percent of buyers would be more likely to buy a home if smart home products were already installed. That can make the market for your home more competitive, ultimately earning you more money at resale.

Smart homes are both the present and the future.

Homeowners who want to make their homes more livable today and more marketable tomorrow should consider investing in smart home products.

It’s foundational matter W

hen you’re looking to buy a new house, the foundation is one of the most important aspects of any home you inspect. It’s literally what everything else about the house rests upon. Repairing a home’s foundation can cost in the five-figure range, so be sure to check the following three parts of a house when doing the rounds of open-house visits. Look up, not down Foundations, by their nature, tend to be out of sight, so finding evidence of problems can be tough. If the lines of the top floors and attic are askew, that may be a sign of trouble below. If ceilings are uneven or if attic walls aren’t straight, this can also be a sign that the foundation has problems. Windows and doors Check to see if doors and windows close properly. If they jam for no apparent reason, the house itself may have foundational problems.

Walls Your exterior walls can sometimes change their shape from normal settling over the years and are therefore one of the least reliable indicators of foundation damage. Extreme bowing

(walls sticking out in the middle), however, can be a sign of structural problems. Consult with your local real estate agent to make sure you’re getting what you pay for when buying a home. He or she will help you avoid huge renovations from these kinds of hard-to-identify sources.

Make a home offer they can’t refuse B

uying a home can be very competitive. A well-maintained property with all of the bells and whistles that today’s buyers demand figures to attract many offers, and buyers who have found their dream homes must be prepared to make an offer that sellers can’t refuse.

Standing out in a sea of other potential home buyers is not always so easy, but there are steps buyers can take to ensure their offer is the one sellers ultimately accept.

• Get preapproved for a mortgage.

Sellers’ patience may wear thin with buyers who are not preapproved for a mortgage when making their offers.

Preapproval can speed up the selling process, as buyers won’t need to secure financing afterward. When sellers receive multiple offers on their homes, they are more likely to sell their homes to buyers whose financing is already lined up as opposed to buyers who have to scramble to secure loans.

• Establish a strong rapport with the sellers. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to develop emotional attachments to their homes, and buyers should keep that in mind when viewing a home and negotiating their purchase.

Sellers won’t want to hear about how ugly a home is or how much money buyers will have to spend to bring the home up to their standards. While buyers must weigh such variables when making their offers, keep it as cordial as possible and avoid any inflammatory remarks during the negotiation

process. Sellers may be more likely to accept a lower offer from a buyer they like than a higher offer from someone they don’t like.

• Don’t delay an inspection. When a property is drawing significant interest, buyers can set their offers apart from the rest by arranging for a near-immediate inspection. Some buyers may want sellers to give them a couple of weeks to arrange for an inspection, and that may irritate sellers who want to sell their homes as quickly as possible.

Have an inspector ready to perform an inspection within days of making your offer.

• Include an escalation clause. When making an offer on a home, prospective buyers can include an escalation clause.

Such a clause acknowledges that a potential buyer is willing to increase his or her initial offer by a predetermined amount to exceed any bids that are higher than that initial offer. When sellers trigger such clauses, they are often required to show the other offers they received that triggered the escalation clause. Escalation clauses show the sellers you really want the house while keeping potential buyers’ hopes of buying the home alive when the bids are competitive.

Prospective home buyers may find themselves in some stiff competition upon finding their dream homes. But a few simple strategies can make their offers stand out and increase their chances of buying their ideal homes.

What can a real estate agent do for you?

I f you’re looking into buying a new home, you might wonder why you can’t just go at it on your own. There are a number of advantages to hiring a real estate agent to help you find the perfect house to fit your every need. A trained real estate professional can: • Set up viewings • Handle paperwork •

Put his or her negotiation experience to work for you • Share his or her knowledge of the area • Offer guidance when it comes to pricing and value Hiring a real estate agent is a great way to reduce the amount of stress that goes with making one of the biggest financial decisions of your life.

Get the best mortgage financing deal F

ew people are able to walk into a home, like what they see and then pay for a house in cash.

In the vast majority of home purchases, mortgages make the dream of home ownership a reality.

Getting a mortgage requires research and some preparation on the part of borrowers if they hope to get the friendliest terms possible.

Homes are substantial, decades-long investments, so it’s smart to shop around to find the best rates and lenders available. These tips can make the process of applying and getting a mortgage go smoothly, and may even help borrowers save some money.

• Learn your credit score. Your credit score will be a factor in determining just how much bargaining power you have for lower interest rates on mortgage loans, according to the financial resource NerdWallet.

The higher the credit score, the better. Well before shopping for a mortgage, manage your debt, paying it off if possible, and fix any black marks or mistakes on your credit report.

• Investigate various lenders. The Federal Trade Commission says to get information from various sources, whether they are commercial banks, mortgage companies, credit unions, or thrift institutions.

Each is likely to quote different rates and prices, and the amount they’re willing to lend you may vary as well. Investigating various lenders can help you rest easy knowing you got the best rate for you. Lenders may charge additional fees that can drive up the overall costs associated with getting a mortgage. Compare these fees as well so you can be sure you get the best deal.

• Consider a mortgage broker. Mortgage brokers will serve as the middle person in the transaction. A broker’s access to several different lenders can trans-

late into a greater array of loan products and terms from which to choose.

• Learn about rates. Become informed of the rate trends in your area. Lower rates translate into significant savings amounts per month and over the life of the loan. Rate may be fixed, though some are adjustable-rate mortgages (also called a variable or floating rate). Each has its advantages and disadvantages, and a financial consultant can discuss what might be in your best interest.

• Discuss points with your financial advisor and lender. Some lenders allow you to pay points in advance, which will lower the interest rate. Get points quoted in dollar amounts so they’ll be easier to compare. If you’re unfamiliar with points, discuss the concept with your financial advisor.

The vast majority of homeowners secured a mortgage to purchase their homes. Learning about the mortgage process can help new buyers navigate these sometimes tricky financial waters.

Qualities to look for in a property manager After buying your very own income property, it’s important that you hire the right person to manage your investment. Here are just a few qualities that make for an effective property manager: • Good people skills: to communicate effectively with your tenants.

• Organized: to ensure rent is always collected on time. Trustworthy and profes-

sional: this is your building; you want to leave it in the hands of someone with a good background.

• Handy: you never know when you might be able to save some money on minor maintenance.

• You want a trustworthy property manager who will look after your investment.

What to know when buying an older home to renovate If you’re handy with home repairs and in the market for a new house, investing in an older home can be a great idea. Sometimes, however, people who love to build can focus too much on what they’re going to change and ignore some other essential points about older houses. Be sure to keep in mind these three things when looking for an older home to renovate.

1. Energy efficiency Renovating an older home is best when most of the problems are simply cosmetic. One fundamental issue to take care of, however, is your home’s energy efficiency.

Will it be costly to insulate it, or will it simply be a matter of replacing a few windows?

2. Water quality - not all the things

you need to check are inside the house itself. If you have water on your property, have it tested to be sure it’s safe (particularly if you’ll be drinking it).

3. Historic status If enough people agree with you that an older home should be preserved, either your home or some aspect of the surrounding area may have historic protection status.

This can, in some cases, affect what changes you can and cannot make to a house or property. Be sure to check the status of any home before you buy.

Your real estate agent is an invaluable resource when navigating the complexities of buying a home. Contact one today so you can know you’re getting the best advice.

Transition smoothly after relocating

P

eople move for various reasons.

Some have outgrown their existing homes and need something bigger, while others move to downsize.

Regardless of why people move, moving occurs more often than you might think. Relocating, whether it’s around the corner or miles away, affects people’s lives in many ways.

A smooth transition to a new place involves understanding the process and getting the support necessary to make the move a success.

Understand the costs Apart from the fees associated with buying a home, relocating involves hiring movers, unpacking belongings, temporary storage rentals, charges to turn on/off utilities, repairs for the new home, and several other expenses.

If you’re moving because of a career opportunity, the company may contribute to some of the moving costs.

Check with a human resources professional to determine if the company provides relocation compensation.

Research potential destinations Give ample thought to where you might live before uprooting yourself and your family if you have one. The career resource Change Recruitment suggests using the internet as much as possible to learn about the location.

Sites like Niche can paint a picture of an area, providing information regarding its demographics, points of interest, schools, and much more. However, an in-person visit will be needed to get a true feel for the neighborhood.

Get out and meet people Use every opportunity to meet neighbors and people with shared interests. Attend community events and/or school functions. Some employers may have meet-and-greet events. The sooner you make friends and acquaintances in your new town or city, the more likely you are to feel at home.

With some planning and a little assistance, relocating can go smoothly.

Short sale versus foreclosure

hopping for real estate may require prospective buyers to learn a whole new language. Buyers may come across certain terms they don’t understand. Among the more common terms that first-time buyers may not fully understand are “short sale” and “foreclosure.”

According to Realtor.com, short sales and foreclosure auctions are situations that occur when homeowners fall behind on payments and can no longer afford to live in a home.

A short sale happens when a homeowner owes more on the mortgage balance than the market value of the property when the owner needs to sell. The homeowner can ask the mortgage lender to accept a lesser amount than the total mortgage owed — making the homeowner/seller “short” on paying the lender back.

A foreclosure is a legal process that occurs when a borrower cannot make mortgage loan payments for a significant period of time. If the debt is not recouped, lenders will step in and take ownership of the property, putting it up for sale in a foreclosure auction.

While these situations can be troublesome for the homeowner facing financial peril, distressed properties can be advantageous

for buyers who oftentimes can buy homes at steep discounts. However, short sales and foreclosures are not without challenges.

The real estate experts at Zillow say that foreclosures and short sales involve more layers than traditional transactions. Zillow offers that bank lenders historically can be slow at giving approval for mortgages to purchase short sale properties or even agreeing on an amount for the sale. As a result, buyers may miss out on other opportunities while waiting for short sales to move along.

Foreclosures carry their own hurdles. Buyers may not get a chance to even see a foreclosure property, nor be eligible to have it inspected, as foreclosed homes are typically sold “as-is” and at auction. The real estate agency Re/Max says buying a foreclosure typically is faster than buying a short sale, and an investor can buy a foreclosed home for below market value. But foreclosures cannot be contingent on the sale of another home, so a buyer must have funds in place and be ready to move quickly.

Short sales are often initiated by homeowners looking to avoid foreclosure. As a result, short sale properties may be in decent condition. This may not be the case with a

foreclosure. The American Society of Home Inspectors says foreclosed homes may have been neglected by having utilities turned

off and no maintenance done on the home. Other homes may have been purposefully vandalized by the former

owner or by squatters.

Short sales and foreclosure properties are options for buyers who want to get the best price possible on a home and are willing to take some risks in their pursuits.

What are the differences between real estate agents and brokers?

R

eal estate transactions often involve significant amounts of money. As a result, it’s common for both buyers and sellers to enlist the services of a host of professionals with real estate experience.

Both buyers and sellers may work with real estate agents and/or real estate brokers en route to buying or selling their homes. Agents and brokers are not one and the same, and there are some important distinctions between the two.

Real estate agent According to Realtor.com, real estate agents are professionally licensed individuals who can help both buyers and sellers. Agents also may help property owners rent their homes. The amount of training real estate agents need to earn their licenses varies by state. Once individuals finish their required training, they must take a written exam that tests their knowledge of federal real estate laws and general principles

as well as the laws specific to the state in which they want to become licensed. Only after passing this exam do individuals become recognized real estate agents.

Investopedia notes that achieving agent status is the starting point for most real estate professionals.

Real estate broker Real estate brokers are those professionals who have continued their education past the agent level and obtained a broker’s license. Each state has its own requirements in regard to becoming a licensed broker, but education and examinations are necessary regardless of where a person lives.

Realtor.com notes that the extra coursework to earn a broker’s license focuses on various topics, including ethics, contracts, taxes, and insurance. Agents may learn about these topics as well, but coursework for prospective brokers goes into more depth than it does at the agent level.

Brokers also will study and learn about legal issues in regard to real estate. The legal issues brokers may learn about include brokerage operations, real estate investments, construction, and property management. Requirements vary, but Realtor.com notes that brokers often must work as licensed real estate agents for no less than three years before they can earn their broker’s license.

There is more than one type of real estate broker.

Principal/designated brokers oversee all agents at a given firm and ensure the agents act in compliance with all real estate laws. Managing brokers tend to focus on the hiring and training of agents. Associate brokers have their broker’s license but work directly under a managing broker.

Real estate agents and brokers can help buyers, sellers and investors successfully navigate real estate transactions, and each can serve their clients in different ways.
