5 Simple Design Trends

to Boost Your Work From Home Productivity Setting up your home office can be tricky. The most important thing is to find an area that can be your designated workspace. This will help you reduce stress and create a clear distinction between your work hours and free time. Try to do all your work in the office space and keep a separate sofa space for relaxation and leisure time. Where you place it, how you choose to design it, and what kind of furniture you use are important decisions that may impact your work productivity.

We listed five things to keep in mind that will help you design the best workspace for you and your needs.

1

Invite nature to your home office

By bringing plants, flowers, and greenery into your working space, you will make it more beautiful. Plants also help clean and humidify the air — something that comes in very handy when you’re spending all your days in front of the computer. If you opt for scented flowers and plants, you get the added benefit of some natural aromatherapy.

2 Source: Grovemade

Keep it simple and minimalistic

To maximize your productivity at home, consider limiting visual distractions in the area where you work. By keeping your workspace tidy and decluttered, it’s easier to stay focused on the task at hand. Closed storage such as boxes and cupboards instead of open shelves are an excellent means for creating a more zen home office. Ending each workday by clearing your desk is a great way to set yourself up for success the next day.

3

Infuse your home office with inspiration

4

Keep it comfy — and healthy

5

Be conscious of colors

When working from home, sometimes the days are very much one like the other.

To make sure you keep your energy levels high, decorate your home office with items that inspire you. Are you building a business from home? Perhaps you want to keep a mood board over your desks with images representing what you’re trying to achieve. Are you working to save up for a trip or a house? Put pictures of your goals so you can see them and stay motivated.

Comfort is essential, especially when we’re spending all our time in the same space. First, you need a great office chair. But you may also want to consider adding options, such as a standing desk and a lounge chair, so you’re not in the same position all day long. This will feel better, help you be more productive, and help you avoid work-related pain in your back, neck, and shoulders.

Different colors affect your mood in different ways. While red can make you feel stressed and aggressive, blue has a calming effect. By consciously choosing what colors you use in your workspace and being aware of how they make you feel, you can affect your mood, energy, and productivity during the workday.

Millennials

and the Real Estate Market There’s an image of millennials that have been created by people in older demographics.

Millennials are supposedly a lazy generation, living with their parents, complaining about the way the world is going. Well, like most stereotypes, this one doesn’t hold true under further analysis. The idea of millennials as childish has already become outdated as they age into being the most prominent age group in America. The implications of this are big in a variety of areas as millennials’ spending power increases, and the weight of their preferences grow.

One area that is already seeing the relevance of this cohort becoming arguably America’s most important is the real estate market.

According to the Orange County Register, millennials now make up the largest share of homebuyers in America at 38%. While millennials acquired their first home later than other generations, this doesn’t mean that they weren’t interested in buying homes. The reality is that housing became significantly more unaffordable in recent decades, making millennials have to wait longer before becoming home-owners. But now, with millennials ranging from 24 to 40 years of age, they’re at an age where they’ve become higher earners, and are thus able to become first-time homeowners.

Millennial preferences differ from some of the previous generations.

According to the same report by the Orange County Register, areas like Aspen, Austin, and Montecito have all seen the benefits of being attractive to millennials. These second-tier markets have skyrocketed recently, with Aspen hitting a record high sales volume in the third quarter of 2020.

Millennials differ in many ways from previous generations, but one significant way is that they are not buying starter homes the same way.

According to Bradley Nelson, the CMO of Sotheby’s International, who was interviewed by the Chicago Tribune, it is not altogether rare for millennials to make their first home purchase a significant one. Nelson says “Millennials are finally coming out of the gate, and it’s not uncommon for the first

HAVENLIFESTYLES.COM

purchase as a first time homebuyer to be a multimillion-dollar luxury home in the U.S. or internationally.” This means that millennials are becoming a vital cohort for the luxury real estate market as well.

Real estate agents and people selling their homes are going to have to gear themselves towards marketing to millennials now. There are a lot of qualities that millennials emphasize that other generations might not have.

For example, environmental sustainability, technological compatibility, and with the pandemic, the ability to work from home effectively. Real estate companies are going to have to adjust on the fly, as if they can’t appeal to this younger demographic, they will lose out on a group that has aged into becoming the number one homebuyers in America.

Long represented as disinterested in home buying and making it on their own, 2020 showed that millennials are just like every other demographic that came before them. While the real estate market had a higher barrier to entry for millennials than other age groups, as they’ve aged into being higher earners, they’re just as interested in being homeowners.

Millennials’ importance will only grow in the coming years as they continue to become the predominant homebuyers in America.

Mitten Home Staging and Design We were able to catch up with Therese Antonelli, owner of Moving the Mitten Real Estate Group and Mitten Home Staging and Design, along with Lead Designer Danell Ledin about the benefits of home staging in today’s real estate market.

How was Mitten Home Staging and Design started?

Mitten Home Staging and Design was created after several of our clients asked about staging. We were outsourcing this service to other local staging companies and when we saw the value in having our own staging company for our clients, it was a natural decision. Therese knew that I had a passion for design and decorating, and with a background in interior decorating, I was eager to jump right in. I had often provided staging as a courtesy to my own real estate clients, but having our own staging company now meant that I could go beyond just suggesting paint colors or moving existing furniture and décor in our clients’ homes. The whole venture took off quickly, with three staging jobs right out of the gate! We saw a need, and had the resources to create this valuable service in-house at our own brokerage. We wanted to assure our clients that we could provide everything they needed to sell their home, so Mitten Home Staging and Design was born.

What is home staging?

Home staging is a marketing tool that can be utilized in selling a home. Staging contributes to making the very best first impression by highlighting the home’s best features and downplaying its less desirable attributes.

mittenhomestaging.com

Staging helps create an emotional connection between the potential buyers and the home by helping the buyers to visualize themselves living in and utilizing the space. During the staging consultation, we select items that will best adapt and modify the space to appeal to the majority of potential buyers. By adding décor, arranging furniture and creatively and expertly dressing the home, we make it beautiful for listing photos and showings. We create a positive mood and homey feeling by transforming a drab and boring space into one that is bright and energetic! Buyers will not place an offer on a property unless they feel emotionally connected or invested, and staging can help provide that connection for buyers.

Does staging only involve bringing in furniture and décor?

Since we are trying to create a certain mood for the buyer, staging usually involves more than just bringing in furniture and décor. I have found that during the initial consultation with the seller is a great time to point out simple things that can help elevate the space and create the best backdrop for staging. I love the opportunity to talk to sellers about key elements that can create a big impact, like choosing paint colors, replacing outdated light fixtures, and improving worn flooring or hardware. Even a simple deep clean can do wonders for a space! These seemingly small details can have a big impact in helping to create a warm, inviting and beautiful space.

The furniture may be a significant part of a staging job, but the smaller elements help the staging feel cohesive and complete. The details often mean the difference between great and awesome! When I finish a stage I want to leave the home and feel like I really made a difference for the seller. All of those details can equal dollars for a seller!

What are some good tips when you are planning to stage a property?

Clean like you’ve never cleaned before! This may even be a good time to hire a professional. Clean windows can help a space seem brighter and more spacious. Patch and repair blemishes on walls from hanging pictures and artwork, or just from the bumps and dings of daily life. Those little jobs you have been meaning to get to, now is the time! Make a list of the tasks and try to knock them out in one day. Go neutral! Try to pick neutral colors if you are going to paint, in order to make it appealing to most buyers. Now is not the time to express your love of red walls. Make a great first impression! What do all buyers see first and usually for the longest time – the front entrance. They stand beside their real estate agent as they are working with the lock to enter the house. Usually during that time, the buyers are checking out the paint on the door, the front porch lights or even just the cleanliness of the porch itself. Take a look at this area and make sure their first impression will be as great as when they enter the home. Greenery!

I can’t express enough my love of greenery in any space. It brings life and a pop of color to any room. Let there be light! A dark room can be sad and drab. Brighten up the space by simply opening up window blinds, replacing heavy curtains with white sheers, and cleaning your windows on the inside and out. Replace your light bulbs with whiter color bulbs that create brighter light. Bright spaces make a home feel more welcoming.

Do all homes need to be staged before selling?

As much as I would like to think that all houses could benefit from staging, the answer is that staging may not make sense for all sellers. When considering staging, a few factors need to be evaluated to determine if staging is going to help the home sell faster for maximum value. Is the investment worth the reward? For homes that are occupied and lived in, staging may not be needed or suggested by your realtor. A simple home edit could be all that is needed. When your real estate agent suggests staging, it is usually because they feel that there is a need to feature the property in a certain light, to make a vacant home feel and look warm and welcoming, or help a buyer see the potential of a unique space. Staging can also make a property seem updated by the use of new current furniture and decor. Smaller homes are sometimes the ones that benefit big with a stage! It will show potential buyers that the space may be small in square footage, but big in functioning space. These stage jobs are always fun because they are a challenge to make the most usable space within the small rooms! The bottom line is that the investment in hiring a staging company needs to make sense and not be a financial burden to the seller. It is proven that staging does help sell properties faster at higher sales prices, but at the end of the day, staging is not for all sellers.

What are my goals when taking a stage job?

My goal is the same for every stage job: I want someone to walk into that staged house and envision themselves living there. The items I choose help create the mood and desire to own that home. I like to think about what I might want to see if I was a buyer. If you have ever gone through a new construction model home, you know the feeling that is created by the staging and decorating. They are marketing geniuses when taking an empty home and creating a lifestyle that people desire. I try my best to look at each individual house and create something that looks fitting for that home’s age, location, and style. I try to stay true to the house itself by enhancing its best features and camouflaging the less desirable ones. I love to see the transformation from walking into the empty space on the first day, to going to my warehouse and creating a look in my head and then filling the house with items that help my vision come alive! Stepping back and looking at each space is a satisfying moment, and I’m always excited for the owner to see the final result.

5 Reasons Why Real Estate

Can Be Your Solution in 2021 The impact of the Covid 19 pandemic on the economy of the entire world shows that you need to find a way to invest your money so you never suffer great losses. A great way to do this is by investing in the real estate market. The real estate sector is gearing up for a post-pandemic boom. With sales, demand, and prices skyrocketing, it’s a good idea to plan towards investing in real estate in 2021.

When considering making a real estate investment, you need to know the reasons for taking that step. You need to know the options you have before making your move.

These are 5 great reasons why real estate could be your financial solution in 2021.

FIX AND FLIP

This term has gained popularity through reality TV shows. It is also commonly known as house flipping. “Fix and flip” is used to describe the buying of outdated homes at low prices by a real estate investor. The investor then renovates the home and sells it to another buyer at a higher price. Experts predict that house flipping will yield a lot of profit during the course of 2021.

If you’re looking to make a lot of money within a short period, the fix and flip strategy is quite effective. However, it is also possible to suffer huge losses if it isn’t done properly.

It is important to do proper research and get the relevant knowledge to ensure your success.

WHOLESALING

Real estate wholesaling is a great option if you’re looking to have faster turnaround times in your deals. Wholesaling involves an investor searching for homes that could be sold for less than their normal value. When the necessary purchase contract details are settled and signed with the seller, the investor looks for an end-buyer to whom he gives the contract, but at a higher price. The wholesaler (investor) will take the difference as his share, while the original seller is paid the amount agreed upon.

If you want to go into real estate wholesaling, you need to understand the laws that apply in the area of interest. In some jurisdictions, only licensed agents can be paid commission in deals concerning real estate.

HAVENLIFESTYLES.COM

BUY AND HOLD

This is exactly as the name implies. Buy and hold involves an investor acquiring real estate property and holding on to it for an extended period of time. The reason for this is simple -- appreciation. The investor waits for an increase in the property’s market value, so it can be sold for a return on investment (ROI). Renting out the property while “holding” could also help generate income to cover recurring expenses. Experts in thesis or dissertation help say this is a very popular strategy among middle-age students.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTS

Sometimes, you don’t need to actually own property physically to go into real estate investment, and REITs are a perfect way to do that. The main function of REITs is to make profit through proper management of real estate properties. You could invest in such firms and gain partial ownership through investing in their shares. This way, you can get income from the shares as well as sales profit.

With studies showing that home prices are expected to increase in 2021, buying and holding is a great idea. If you’re considering this, it’s best to make sure you invest in a location where appreciation and income gain are highly likely.

RENTAL PROPERTIES

Rental properties are a great way to enter the real estate investment market. This is a long-term type of investment in which an investor buys homes and then rents them out. If you rent the home out at a rate that is greater than what it costs to maintain the property, you are set to enjoy good profits from this strategy. It is almost a given for the property to appreciate as time goes on, and you can even purchase more properties by leveraging its equity.

The major obstacle to acquiring this kind of property is that you may need huge capital to purchase it. However, you could consider meeting lenders who could assist you.

Owning actual physical property is a much bigger risk than buying shares in REITs. However, the profits from REITs are much smaller, and the cost of investment may be higher.

The Bottom Line

There are a lot of reasons to go into the real estate sector. As a prospective real estate investor, you need to be mindful of your objectives and budget. Do your research, study the market and make your choices wisely.
