Hot on the heels of the tiny house movement comes a trend that continues to gain in popularity - multigenerational housing. Think television’s beloved Waltons. Once the way of life in the U.S., and still common in many cultures, multi-generational living is making a significant comeback and altering the way many people are buying, building and planning for their future.

Nearly 1 in 5 Americans is now living in a multigenerational household - a household with two or more adult generations, or grandparents living with grandchildren - a level that hasn’t been seen in the U.S. since 1950, according to Realtor.com. “The percentage of people residing in multigenerational homes peaked around 1950, when 21% of households had such an arrangement. But in raw numbers it amounted to only 32.2 million people - a far cry from today’s 60 million-plus.”

5 Mistakes to Avoid When Buying Your First Home Like most beginners, first-time homebuyers will likely make a few mistakes as they initially go through the homebuying process in the upcoming year.

Following are five common mistakes and how to best avoid them.

1. Waiting too long to make an offer One of the biggest mistakes first-time homebuyers will make this year is waiting too long to get into the real estate market, according to Jay Carr, a senior loan advisor for RPM Mortgage in Newport Beach, CA. Because the rates look like they’re going to continually increase, buyers should get in as early as they can to avoid paying more later on.

2. Trying too hard to get less than the asking price Many first-time buyers are tech-savvy and comfortable researching homes on their own.

Overall, these are positive traits in a buyer.

However, because these buyers are typically self-sufficient when it comes to purchases, they often think they know best when it comes to what price they want to offer on a house.

“Buyers rely too much on what they see on the internet instead of the good advice of what they would hear from a real estate agent,” Carr says.

While sometimes it pays off to be bold in an offer, often the buyers negotiate themselves out of a deal. Pay attention to your real estate agent, who is a seasoned professional, when it comes to putting in an offer so you don’t offend the seller and lose the house you want.

3. Not exploring all your financing options While it is always great to have as much money to put down as possible, many new options are

newsShorts available. One option is a home ownership investment such as the Unison HomeBuyer program, which typically provides up to half of the down payment you need. The money is an investment in the home, not a loan, so there are no interest charges or monthly payments.

This new type of financing - which works in combination with a traditional 30-year mortgage - can allow you to cut the time needed to save for a down payment in half, lower your monthly payments and avoid mortgage insurance, or increase your purchasing power.

4. Wanting the dream house right away Everyone has a picture in their minds of what their first home will look like. Chances are you’re going to have to trade up to that dream home from your first starter home. Focus on becoming a homeowner now and to wait on your dream home until you’ve built up equity and have higher incomes in the future.

5. Not having your own representation Another mistake a first-time homebuyer can make is not having their own representation (meaning they use the seller’s agent as their own buyer’s agent). While this is not always a bad situation, Carr urges buyers to select a trustworthy real estate agent who will look after their best interests. (BPT)

De-stress Your Move Although moving is one of the most stressful life events - according to the Employee Relocation Council -it doesn’t have to be. If you’re one of the 40 million people estimated to move this year, these five steps can make moving easier: • Build A To-Do Timeline: Start by making a list of everything you need to do and when you need to do it. Include tasks such as budgeting, decluttering, hiring movers, purchasing supplies, and updating important medical and financial records.

• Create A Moving At-A-Glance List: Put all your critical move-related names, phone numbers

and addresses on one document to carry with you and store in your smartphone. Be sure you can easily access your moving contract, real estate and mortgage documents, and info on local utilities, banks and schools, too.

• Pack A First-Night Survival Box: After you’ve arrived at your new home, you don’t want to have to hunt for the must-have items, such as box cutters, tools, device chargers, bed linens, toiletries- and the coffeepot for the following morning.

• Stay Connected: It’s easy to set up your Internet, TV and phone service in advance, with help from CableMover, so you’re already connected when you move in.

• Look Online For Help: You can turn to valuable online resources, such as the Moving Guide from CableMover. Such one-stop, customizable solutions can help you stay organized and stress-free. Connect to your new provider and download your customized Moving Guide at www.cablemover.com. (NAPSI)

High Impact DIY Projects For Your Home Looking for for quick and inexpensive DIY projects that make a big statement around the home?

The average American homeowner spent nearly $3,000 on home improvements in 2015, according to a Statista report. The following list of affordable projects can be achieved for a fraction of that cost.

Create wood accents Use flooring to make headboards and accent walls.

Retailers like Lumber Liquidators offer a variety of styles of flooring such as laminates, engineered, vinyl, click ceramic plank and more, and these flooring materials can easily be incorporated into many accent features. The flooring material can be affixed to walls and other surfaces with a special acrylic flooring tape. Flooring comes in a variety of styles, which can also be cut into striking patterns like chevron or herringbone.

Install butcher block countertops Butcher block is a warm and rustic countertop style that’s affordable and increasingly popular. Made from strips of wood bonded together, it can be sliced and chopped on directly - a great option for the minimalist homeowner. Installation is DIYfriendly, making butcher block an ideal weekend project with a good step-by-step tutorial in hand.

Build a trellis Building a garden trellis is a great way to draw more attention to what your green thumb has created. Dedicate Friday to sizing the trellis and cutting and framing the pieces, Saturday to building the panels and assembling and Sunday for digging the holes and setting the trellis into place. Tailor to what’s best for your backyard by building out of wood, bamboo or PVC pipe.

Repurposed planters When gardening outside isn’t an option, bring the garden inside by making unique planter boxes. A DIY planter box is typically more affordable than store-bought, and the design possibilities are endless.

newsShorts Reuse vessels like shipping crates, Mason jars and tin boxes. Personalize them with colors and patterns to match your interior and inject personality and life into your space.

Add crown molding Crown molding adds distinguished curves and angles to a ceiling, instantly elevating a room to a polished and sophisticated look. DIY crown molding does require attention to detail when measuring and marking the wall and cutting pieces, so measure twice to cut once.

These are just a few of the weekend-ready projects homeowners can knock out to bring new life to spaces indoors and out. A weekend DIY project is a minimal time investment that not only creates a sense of accomplishment, but adds value to your home. (BPT)

Latest Deck trend: ‘Monster’ Size Mega-Luxury Move over mini - the new trend in decking is anything but small. Multiple surveys indicate decks are getting larger and more luxurious, RealtorMag reports.

Today’s decks dwarf the outdoor spaces of decades ago, and blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces with features like full kitchens, dining and entertainment areas, says Kim Katwijk, owner of Deck Builders Inc. in Olympia, Washington. Katwijk is a 20-year veteran of the deck-building business, and co-producer of the upcoming web series Outdoors Outdone.

Sizable changes Katwijk says the intersection of two major home trends is driving the growth of “monster” decks: homes are getting larger and outdoor living has reached mainstream status.

Last year, more than half of all new homes were 2,400 square feet or larger, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s “Characteristics of New Housing” report. In 1973, the average home size was 1,660

square feet. As homes grew, deck sizes have, too.

RealtorMag reports one survey found that since 2014, the average deck size grew by 53 percent in the Northeast, to 406 square feet.

So what makes a deck project “monster”? Size, design, materials and amenities all combine in this nationwide trend.

Size - “Monster” decks are big - really big. Mark Kalady, a decking sales manager for TAMKO Building Products, Inc., says he’s recently seen residential decks grow to 3,000 square feet. Depending on the amenities included, a deck 1,600-1,800 square feet could also be considered “monster.”

Kitchens/dining - Cooking and dining areas are among the most requested luxury features, deck builders say. Luxury grills, built-in pizza ovens and full-cook stoves and sinks are becoming more common.

Water/fire - Fire and water features such as hot tubs, lap pools, fireplaces and fire pits are part of the trend of bringing the indoors out. These focal points serve as relaxation, exercise and entertaining stations.

Seating - Katwijk says “conversational pits” designed specifically for extended entertaining allow deckusers to enjoy time together away from the cooking and dining areas.

Multi-story- “Monster” decks often include multiple levels, with each level serving a different theme or intended use, such as dining, conversation, swimming, etc.

Technology - Many of today’s larger decks include living room areas equipped with big-screen TVs, wireless speakers and gaming systems. But the technology used on monster decks can extend to retractable glass walls and skylights, and even the deck boards themselves. Katwijk says the technology behind man-made decking products like Envision composite lumber offers the luxury appearance of exotic woods, but with minimal annual maintenance.

“People want an environment where they can be outdoors, yet have all the creature comforts of their home - essentially creating a space where they can do all the things that they love,” Katwijk says. (BPT)
