Is buying or selling a home on your To-Do list for the coming year? If so, in spite of all that has been going on, housing projections for 2021 are spelling out some promising news. The Home Buying Institute (HBI) predicts the overheated home-price growth we saw during 2020 will begin to slow down in 2021 and a severe market downturn appears highly unlikely. HBI names continued strong housing demand, low interest rates, a shortage of properties, and a deep pool of well-qualified home buyers as the main reasons they expect the housing market to remain strong in the coming year. In their words, “A general cooling trend for home prices seems possible...but a housing market crash, not so much.” It looks like 2021 will be another good year for refinancing. Mortgage technology and research firm Black Knight believes more than 18 million homeowners in the U.S. could substantially reduce their monthly savings by refinancing their existing home loans. What would you do with the extra cash each month? We invite you to join us as we keep our eye on the market and trends throughout the coming year. Browse through our monthly issues, visit us at LifeandHomes.com or follow us on social media for the best in local real estate offerings, local business services and a wealth of helpful real estate related information.

How To Prepare For Tax season 2020
2020 has been a tumultuous year. Many Americans found themselves out of work - at least temporarily - and received unemployment benefits. Others may have experienced employment changes, like working from home or taking on multiple jobs. All of these factors will have even more of an impact come time to file income taxes on tax day, April 15, 2021. “For many, the 2020 tax season will likely look different,” says Mark Steber, Chief Tax Information Officer at Jackson Hewitt Tax Services. To help you prepare and get the maximum tax refund you deserve, Steber offers the following tax tips.
1. Understand how unemployment benefits work. Make sure you’re aware of how unemployment benefits affect your taxes. Unemployment benefits are taxable and must be reported to the IRS on your tax return. Taxable benefits also include any special compensation authorized under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act earlier this year. That means if you did not withhold enough taxes from your unemployment benefits, you could see a big tax bill or a much smaller tax refund than you normally receive. Unemployment is considered unearned income, so it won’t count toward certain credits. For example, you must have earned income to qualify for the Child Tax Credit or the Earned Income Tax Credit. Additionally, your adjusted gross income must be below certain levels to get certain credits.
2. Set money aside to cover unexpected taxes. If you received unemployment benefits and did not withhold any federal or state income tax, you’ll need to pay tax on that
newsShorts money. To prepare, consider setting money aside now to cover those taxes on your 2020 return and brace yourself for a much smaller refund or no refund at all this tax season.
3. Take advantage of possible deductions. Every taxpayer will get a charitable donation deduction for 2020. Make a list of any IRSapproved donations you made this year and locate any receipts. Whether itemizing or taking the standard deduction, under the CARES Act, all taxpayers are eligible to deduct up to $300 worth of monetary donations to qualified organizations. If you’ve been working at home, a home office deduction is not guaranteed. The home office deduction is only available to those who are self-employed.
4. Consider major life changes. Life changes can bring sizeable tax implications. Some changes that cause the biggest impact include getting married or divorced, having a baby or adopting a child, buying or selling property, retiring, or starting a business. If you experienced any of these events in 2020, know that your return will look different.
5. Keep track of important documents. Gather all your documents, such as W-2 forms and 1099s for interest dividends and even retirement distributions. Remember to include the Notice 1444 you received with your stimulus check for your 2020 tax records. Collect your charitable contribution totals, mortgage interest, property taxes you’ve paid, and any additional state and local income taxes paid for the year. If you were furloughed and able to pick up a temporary job, gather your W-2s for each job you worked. If you worked a side gig, make sure to keep a record of your income, the miles you drove, and any additional expenses. And if you’re not filing single, be on the lookout for family members that may have been impacted to make your tax return more complicated. No matter your 2020 situation, follow these tips to prepare for any unexpected tax implications. For more information and help during the 2020 tax season, visit jacksonhewitt.com. (BPT) -
Laundry Room
Functionality
Upgrades Studies show that 72% of second-time home buyers consider a workable laundry room an essential feature of their homes. Fortunately, there are options to make your existing laundry room more functional without having to tackle any renovations. 1) Add storage space Utilitarian shelving and/or cabinetry can provide bigger, better storage. Through smart design, you can incorporate good-sized laundry bins, racks for hanging wet clothes, countertops for folded laundry, or an island for storage. Storage spaces where chemicals like bleach can be safely locked away are helpful.
2) Reconfigure your washer and dryer Vertically stacked, LG Electronics sleek singleunit LG WashTower takes up half the floor space while tackling ultra-large loads. LG’s exclusive Center Control™ panel is perfectly positioned for easy use. Both the washer and dryer offer extra-large capacity for all your laundry needs.
3) Upgrade your lighting Dim lighting makes it hard to spot stains and sort laundry. Recessed fluorescent or LED troffers and flush-mount fixtures may help preserve your ceiling space. Aim for the equivalent of 75 watts of light for a comfortable but bright effect.
4) Consider fold-out options If you lack the room to incorporate more storage, consider smartly designed tables and/or an ironing board that can fold right into the walls when they’re not in use. With a few renovations, your laundry room may become a haven of cleanliness and efficiency. Learn more about the latest technology in clothes washers and dryers at LG.com. (BPT) -

Discover Nature-Inspired
Paint Trends
for a Calming Home When it comes to home design, color can change everything. From understated, clean hues and calming neutrals to soft greens and mid-tone colors with artistic qualities, a whole new style is just brush strokes away. With the right color palette, you can transform your space to highlight contemporary trends while creating your desired ambiance. These curated Clark+Kensington color palettes, showcasing on-trend looks for 2021, are heavily inspired by nature and natural materials like raw cotton, linen, wood tones and soft, peaceful greens. The colors invite the best of the outdoors inside so you can design a personal refuge where you’re free to relax and unwind. Each of these three collections, assembled by the experts at Ace Hardware, can help conjure a sense of calm and offer inspiration so you can thoughtfully incorporate color into your home. Mindful Living
If you want to bring new layers of wellness to your life, the calming neutrals and soft greens that make up this refreshing and cleansing palette may be just what you’re seeking. The muted tone of Fair Isle is a soft neutral that pairs well with a wide range of colors, such as the inviting Blue Spruce green that resembles a richly treed mountainside. Additionally, Swiss Coffee and Natural White offer neutral
options that lend a surprising sense of coziness while Smokey Taupe and Playas de Cancun provide alternatives to bring bolder, but still soothing, color to your space. Understated Impact
If minimalism and clean lines reflect your desire to simplify your surroundings, you’ll likely be drawn to a “less is more” approach to design. This uncluttered sensibility allows you to focus on key elements of a room that are impactful yet edited. To achieve this look, build your palette around slate-like hues of gray and blue, such as Gothic Iron or a cooler take on slate with Magic Fountain. Options like Silent White and Abstract Gray lend neutral warmth while an earthy burgundy like Red Tulip or the deep, not-quite-black tones of Midnight Stroll are ideal for creating a focal point. Creative Escape
This palette of mid-tone colors with artistic qualities may be best suited for someone who embraces traditional crafting techniques and delights in
working with his or her hands. Striking slate blue Midnight Oil is reminiscent of waves crashing in the dark of night while Subtle Gray offers a softer take on the slate-like tones. As the name suggests, Fiddlehead Fern brings lush vegetation to mind while Act Naturally and Caramel Apple deliver pops of color consistent with streaks of an orange-kissed sunset. The most subtle of this collection, Beach Cottage, features a slightly peach-to-pinkish tint that gives unique character to a neutral selection. Any color in these palettes can be selected and ordered from the comfort of your home online using in-store pickup, curbside pickup or delivery from your local Ace Hardware. Start with color samples to test your colors on your walls in different locations and under different lighting then order your gallons and painting supplies when you’re ready to complete your project. Find more inspiration and all the supplies you need to transform your space with paint at acehardware.com. (Family Features) February
