Tips and tre nd s for homeow ners, buyers and sellers

YOUR ULTIMATE

backyard º

With spring coming to an end, it is time to prepare your home for all things summer.

Whether you want to play host to summer barbecues or just want a place to relax in the sun, there are lots of options for outdoor recreation spaces. Working to build a premier outdoor area can not only serve as the ideal place to spend time with family and friends, but it can also add value to your home.

Here are some ideas for equipping your ultimate summer backyard:

Let There Be Light Light up your outdoor space by installing lights along walkways or on tables, or stringing lights around a seating area. This lighting not only creates a relaxed atmosphere, it’s also great for night-time showings when it’s time to sell.

Create an Outdoor Kitchen Area While only about 4 percent of affluent households have

outdoor kitchens today, 13.6 percent say they are planning to add one in 2014. A recent study by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) found that outdoor kitchens can add to a home’s value.

Upgrading your standalone grill to a built-in grill with additional counter space can go a long way.

Cozy Up Adding outdoor couches, throw pillows and rugs creates the perfect ambiance for entertaining and invokes a feeling of comfort and serenity, according to the National Association of REALTORS® (NAR). These additions also provide value for staging and help potential homebuyers visualize themselves in the home.

Bug Off There aren’t many downsides to the summer, but one of them is the return of the insects. To make your outdoor space critter-free, make sure you have citronella candles handy.

NATURAL LANDSCAPING

According to a study conducted by the National Drought Resilience Partnership (NDRP), the drought across the Western United States and parts of the Midwest region will intensify in 2015. With so much sun and little rain, homeowners will need to prepare their landscapes accordingly. If you live in one of these drought-ridden areas, an easy solution for an efficient and attractive yard is a natural landscape.

Natural landscapes are gaining popularity for good reason.

Plants native to a particular region have adapted to the surrounding environment, whether it features harsh winters, flooding or droughts. Native plants tend to flourish in local soils, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) says these landscapes are good for the environment.

Aside from occasional pruning and weeding, maintenance on natural landscaping is minimal. Once implemented, native landscapes do not need fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides.

Natural landscapes usually require less water and minimal maintenance, which make them ideal for busy homeowners.

Another growing trend in drought-ridden areas such as California is “xeriscaping.” Plants required for this type of landscaping vary by region, but they are commonly wasteefficient and require extremely low amounts of water — if any at all, the EPA says.

Maintenance-free “hard elements” in a yard can include rocks, fences, walking paths or lawn ornaments. These features help fill your landscape and require zero maintenance.

Whatever choice homeowners consider when deciding how to create a beautiful outdoor landscape, NAR recommends keeping costs below 5 to 10 percent of the home’s value, so that you don’t over-improve.

Tips and trends for homeowners, buyers and sellers

SECURITY º

system

The kids are out of school and the sun is shining. You are finally able to take the family vacation that you have planned for all year. But when you leave the house and lock your door, is it really safe? Some of these best practices from Better Homes and Gardens will help you safeguard your home while on vacation.

Keep Quiet — Don’t discuss travel plans in public. You never know who might hear you say you won’t be home. Additionally, don’t post pictures or comment about your vacation on social media until you return.

Mail Arrangements — A full mailbox or pile of newspapers in your driveway can tip off criminals to an empty home. Contact the U.S. Postal Service to hold your mail and contact your newspaper to suspend delivery or ask a neighbor to collect the papers.

SAY YES TO CRS IL

EQUAL HOUSING

Neighborhood Watch — Ask a neighbor or friend to keep an eye on your home while you are away and make sure they have a reliable contact number for you in case of an emergency.

Fake Your Stay — Set a timer for lights and televisions to turn off/on at night.

This gives the impression that someone is home and deters any intruders.

Lock Up — Although this might be obvious, take one last tour of the house to make sure all windows are locked and the alarm system is correctly armed. After this you are ready to lock the doors and hit the road with peace of mind.

Buying or selling a home can seem like an overwhelming task. But the right REALTOR® can make the process easier — and more profitable.

A Certified Residential Specialist (CRS), with years of experience and success, will help you make smart decisions in a fast-paced, complex and competitive marketplace.

To earn the CRS Designation, REALTORS® must demonstrate outstanding professional achievements — including high-volume sales — and pursue advanced training in areas such as finance, marketing and technology. They must also maintain membership in the National Association of REALTORS® and abide by its Code of Ethics.

Work with a REALTOR® who belongs in the top 3 percent in the nation. Contact a CRS today.

He is well-informed about the vagaries of the real estate market in general, and the localities he serves in particular. He buttressed his advice to me with factual data and statistics, and answered all the questions I threw at him. He knows the market and understands the psychology of selling and buying, the strategies he devised to market my house were canny and meticulous in detail. - Alice Morrish Thanks again for helping me buy and sell my last home! I know that it was a tough market and I really think that we were able to get out from under the house because of your efforts and unique approach. More importantly, your help when we originally purchased the house made it financially possible for us to sell at the price we did. You kept your word with the “Loveit-or-leave-it” program - thanks! - Brian Chapman
