Clean uP the yard. Cleaning up the yard is among the simpler yet most effective projects to improve a home’s curb appeal. When selling their homes, homeowners should clear the yard of any clutter, including kids’ toys, grass clippings or items that might be scattered throughout the yard. a cluttered yard suggests homeowners do not care much about their home’s appearance, and that may lead buyers to think that indifference extended to maintaining the home’s interior as well. Many buyers will ignore properties without any external aesthetic appeal, but cleaning up the yard does not require much effort or expense on the part of sellers.
or just unnecessary, repaint the door, ideally in a color that complements the color of your home and the surrounding landscape.
Many people are familiar with the idea that a strong first impression can go a long way. While that idea is most often referenced in regard to personal interactions, it’s also applicable to real estate. When selling a home, homeowners who emphasize curb appeal may find it far easier to sell their homes. Curb appeal refers to the impression a home’s exterior makes on people seeing the home for the first time. In 2014, the online real estate database Zillow¨ surveyed real estate agents and found that curb appeal was one of the five most important factors when selling a home. Projects that improve curb appeal can be vast undertakings or simpler projects, and the following are a handful of projects to improve a home’s curb appeal that run the gamut from simple to complex.

Home improvement projects for your fall to-do list
Homeowners know that maintaining a home can be a year-round job. No home is immune to wear and tear, and homeowners who want to protect their real estate investments should try to stay two steps ahead to ensure their homes do not succumb to the elements or become outdated and unappealing to prospective buyers. Fall has become a season that’s synonymous with home improvement, but homeowners need not wait until the leaves begin changing colors to start planning Autumn is a great time to inspect patios their next projects. The following are a that might have endured some wear and few items homeowners can add to their tear during the heavy usage seasons of fall home improvement to-do lists.
spring and summer.
RooF iNspectioN Less precipitation tends to fall during the warmer months than during the late fall and winter. As a result, homeowners may not be aware of leaky roofs until autumn has come and gone. But waiting until winter to inspect the roof can prove disastrous, as weather conditions will not be conducive to inspection and increased precipitation may result in potentially costly damage. Leaky roofs can be easily identified by looking for water stains on interior ceilings. once you see a stain, you can climb onto the roof to identify the location of the leak and fix it before winter rains and snowfall turn the problem into something much larger. inspect your ceilings for signs of leaking after a strong rainfall, and then address any leaks immediately. GutteR cLeANiNG While some homeowners prefer to delay their gutter cleaning projects until late fall, those whose homes are surrounded by trees may need to schedule two such projects. Gutters clogged with leaves and other debris can cause serious roof damage, and that damage can extend all the way inside a home. in addition, clogged gutters make great nesting areas for insects or critters. Always stand on a ladder when cleaning gutters, wearing gloves to remove items by hand and dropping leaves and debris into a trash can below. standing on the roof and leaning over gutters greatly increases your risk of injury. if the gutters are clear when you first examine them in early fall, you can wait until later in the season to give them a complete and thorough cleaning. once you have finished clearing the gutters, you can use a hose to run water through them and the downspouts to confirm everything is
functioning properly. WiNdoW ANd dooRWAy iNspectioN Before temperatures start dropping once again, homeowners will want to inspect their windows and doorways for leaks. over time, cracks can develop around windows and doorways, and while such cracks are rarely noticeable when the weather outside is warm, they can be quite obvious and very costly if they remain unsealed come the start of winter. cold air can enter a home through cracks around windows and doorways, and many homeowners who don’t suspect leaks may respond by turning up the thermostats in their homes. That can prove quite expensive over a full winter. choose a windy autumn day to place a hand by windows and external doorways in your home to see if you can feel drafts. if you can, seal these cracks as soon as possible. pAtio cLeANup patios are popular hangouts during spring and summer, and that can result in a lot of wear and tear. once you store patio furniture for the winter, inspect your entire patio to determine if it needs any refurbishing. While certain patio projects may be best left for spring, you can still clean any stained areas around the grill and look for cracks in the sidewalk that need to be addressed. preparing for fall home improvement projects ahead of time can help homeowners complete projects in a timely manner and ensures they won’t be forced to brave the winter elements when refurbishing their homes.

Although the heydays of the real estate boom of the early 2000s have not quite returned, things look positive. In the United States, 1,226,000 new homes were built in 2016, according to data from Consumer Reports. That was the most since 2007. Resales also have been more promising. The National Association of Realtors says the median number of days a home was on the market in April 2017 reached a new low of 29 days. However, low supply levels did stanch existing home sales somewhat. By mid-2017, the market was a seller’s market, with more people in the market for homes than properties available. But sales during that time were still outpacing sales figures from a year prior. In fact, in May 2017, home sales in Canada increased to their Houses are shrinking, selling faster and getting smarter upgrades according to industry statistics. highest level in more than ally leading to an average of 2,453 their homes, but it’s not just lights five years, according to the square feet in 2014, according MAtte fINISHeS: Stainless steel that turn on with voice command Canadian MLS¨ Systems. to U.S. Census figures.

3 tips to prepare to sell your home According to Realtor. com, spring is the busiest and best season to sell a home.
While a good home can find a buyer any time of year, homeowners might find the buyers’ pool is strongest in spring and into summer. The reasons for that are many, ranging from parents wanting to move when their children are not in school to buyers wanting to move when the weather is most accommodating. Because spring is such a popular time to sell a home, homeowners who want to put their homes on the market should use winter as an opportunity to prepare their homes for the prying eyes of prospective buyers. The following tips can help homeowners during the pre-selling preparation process. 1. AddRess The exTeRioR of The home. Winter can be harsh on a home’s exterior, so as winter winds down, homeowners who want to sell their homes should make an effort to address anything that might negatively affect their homes’ curb appeal. A study of homes in Greenville, s.C., from researchers at Clemson University found that the value of homes with landscapes that were upgraded from ‘good’ to ‘excellent’ increased by 6 to 7 percent. if it’s in the budget, hire professional landscapers to fix any problematic landscaping or address any issues that arose during the winter. homeowners with green thumbs can tackle such projects on their own, but hiring professionals is akin to staging inside the home. 2. ConqUeR inTeRioR ClUTTeR. Clutter has a way of accumulating over the winter, when people tend to spend more time indoors than they do throughout the rest of
Eliminating pet odors, including those associated with pets, can help homeowners prepare their homes for prospective buyers. the year. homeowners who want to put their homes on the market in spring won’t have the luxury of waiting until spring to do their ‘spring’ cleaning, so start clearing any clutter out in winter, even resolving to make an effort to prevent its accumulation throughout winter. Just like buyers are impressed by curb appeal, they are turned off by clutter. The Appraisal institute suggests homeowners clear clutter out of their homes before appraisers visit, and the same approach can be applied to open houses. Buyers, like appraisers, see cluttered homes as less valuable. in addition, a home full of clutter might give buyers the impression, true or not, that the home was not well maintained. 3. eliminATe odoRs. A home’s inhabitants grow accustomed to odors that might be circulating throughout
the house. Pet odor, for instance, might not be as strong to a home’s residents as it is to guests and prospective buyers. Because windows tend to stay closed throughout the winter, interior odors can be even stronger come late-winter than they are during the rest of the year. A thorough cleaning of the house, including vacuuming and removal of any pet hair that accumulated over the winter, can help to remove odor. in the weeks leading up to the open house, bathe pets more frequently, using a shampoo that promotes healthy skin so pet dander is not as prevalent. open windows when the weather allows so more fresh air comes into the home. spring is a popular and potentially lucrative time to sell a home, and homeowners who spend winter preparing their homes for the market may reap even greater rewards.

Purchasing a house or property is about more than setting up a home. Although quite a number of people buy real estate to establish their future, longterm abodes, many others recognize the potentially lucrative investment that lies within a real estate purchase. Despite the ups and downs of the economy, real estate has become a common investment vehicle - one that has plenty of potential for making big gains for those who are willing to put in the effort. According to the experts at Entrepreneur, even in a bad economy, real estate investments will usually fare better than stocks. Real estate also continues to appreciate despite the occasional economical slowdown. Like any other endeavor, there is a right and a wrong way to go about investing in real estate. Novices may not know where to begin their first forays into the real estate market as investors, even if they already own their own homes. Buying a property as an investment is an entirely different animal than buying a home to establish a residence. However, with the right guidance, anyone can dabble in real estate.
EstABLisH fiNANciAL goALs. Before you even begin looking at properties or put forth the effort of meeting with an agent, you must determine what you expect from the investment. The days of buying real estate and flipping it for a fast profit may no longer be here. However, real estate can provide a steady stream of long-term income. Understand what you hope to achieve by investing. if it’s to become an overnight millionaire, you may be looking at the wrong investment vehicle in real estate. EstABLisH A PLAN. New investors who do not have a plan in place will likely spend too much or have more setbacks than others who have planned accordingly. When investing in real estate, itÕs more about the bottom line than the property itself. According to springboard Academy, a real estate academy for investors, look for motivated sellers and stick to a set purchase price. try to make offers on a variety of properties that work in your financial favor. And know what you want to do with the property (i.e., renovate and sell, remove and rebuild, or rehab and rent) before you buy. fit the house to the plan, and not vice-versa.
stARt smALL. if this is your first time out there, stick with properties that will turnover quickly. Research areas in and around urban centers or close to transportation and shopping. A good starter property is a small house or a condominium that can be refurbished and then rented. Rental properties offer steady sources of income when renters are properly vetted, offers investopedia, an investment resource. Look At mANy DiffERENt PRoPERtiEs. Become an expert by learning as much as you can about what is out there. Attend open houses; look for vacant/unattractive properties; scour the classifieds in your local paper; or put the word out there that you’re interested in buying a property. only look at properties that have motivated sellers, because then you’ll get closest to the price you want to pay. And don’t forget to research the area and the home turnover rate for the specific area where you are looking. Don’t make assumptions that a property will appreciate without doing your homework. Real estate can be a worthy investment opportunity. With research, a plan and the right price, just about anyone can be a real estate investor.
