HOW TO KNOW IF YOU’RE PAYING THE RIGHT PRICE FOR YOUR HOME

W

ith bidding wars commonplace, and so much information on home prices available, it can sometimes be tough to know whether you’re paying a fair price for your home. If you’ re working with a real estate professional whose expertise and guidance you trust, chances are they negotiated the best possible price for you. But here are some other ways to know if you’ve paid the right price:

Creative Living 54 Digest.indd 6

5/24/19 2:21 PM

1. CONSIDER THE NEIGHBORHOOD. Location really is everything when it comes to a good real estate investment, so if you bought in a great area odds are you’ve made a good investment and your home’s value will appreciate over time. Ask your agent to show you “comparables” of what other homes in the area sold for and are valued at.

2. PAY ATTENTION TO THE INSPECTION REPORT. If the inspection report comes back with any issues that will require a major investment to repair, this should be reflected in the price you pay for the home. If the owner didn’t pay for the repair, that cost should come out of the purchase price.

3. USE AUTOMATED VALUATION MODELS (AVM) TO GET AN IDEA OF THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD OVER TIME. Ask your real estate agent to recommend a couple they believe are most accurate. The AVM may reveal that while you feel you’re paying too much, the appreciation in a few years’ time makes the investment well worth it.

4. TAKE YOUR PERSONAL CIRCUMSTANCES INTO ACCOUNT. Ultimately, what you pay for the home has everything to do with your personal situation. If the location is extremely important to you, or the design or style is your absolute dream home, then the price is worth it.

Taking all these factors into consideration can provide you great peace of mind or provide some necessary concern.

Work with your real estate agent to determine whether you’re paying the right price – they will keep your mind at ease and provide helpful guidance.

It’s also important to consider how long you intend to live there. If you’re in it for the long haul, odds are you’ll regain your investment. If you’re there for a shorter term, being able to make a quicker profit or rent will be very important. Your personal situation is a critical factor in the price you’re willing to pay.

EXPAND YOUR KITCHEN: TRY A SLIDING DOOR

Your kitchen is the heart of your home. It’s a place where family and friends gather. It’s also a space where you may seem to need more space, whether you’re making breakfast for the kids or hosting a big dinner party.

Using innovative wall-mount door hardware, you can unlock your kitchen’s potential by freeing up the “real estate” traditional swinging doors take up. Due to their unique space-saving possibilities, versatility and aesthetics, wallmount sliding doors can make your kitchen more open and inviting.

A standard hinged door consumes 10-14 square feet of floor space to swing open and shut, putting kitchen space at a premium. Single or converging wall-mount sliding doors allow you to utilize this floor space for kitchen furnishings, storage, extra mingling room for guests and more. They also give kitchens a more spacious look and can enhance your home’s design flow, making it more welcoming and facilitating movement between rooms, which is essential for gatherings and larger families with children.

To maximize your kitchen’s footprint and optimize functionality, an option like wallmount door hardware from Johnson Hardware can provide a new world of architectural possibilities for your kitchen, regardless of size or layout. Ideal for wider kitchen entryways, converging wall-mount door hardware allows doors to glide smoothly as they open whenever you want a free flow for entertaining, or close for privacy during meal preparation.

Creative Living 65 Digest.indd 8

Converging doors can add sophistication or create a cozy feel, depending on the hardware configuration and door style you choose. Available with or without fascia in either clear satin or bronze anodized aluminum, the U.S.-made hardware and track exceed ANSI safety standards and can successfully complete 100,000 opening and closing cycles. You can also add your own valance to match the door material and trim.

Wall-mounted sliding doors also work well for kitchen pantries and large recessed shelving areas where you want to conceal clutter and ensure clean, streamlined spaces. With Johnson’s array of hardware configurations, you can create personalized looks that integrate the door designs and materials you desire with options for doors up to 125 pounds, which are equipped with wall-mounted jump-proof aluminum box tracks and adjustable door hangers for easy installation, as well as options up to 400 pounds, featuring wall-mounted, heavy-gauge I-beam tracks and smooth-rolling, ball-bearing four-wheel hangers.

Installing wall-mount sliding door hardware in your kitchen - and beyond - can be an easy yet high-impact improvement that reduces space constraints while adding warmth, functionality and appeal to your home. So contact your contractor or home remodeler today to have one installed.

REASONS YOU SHOULD CONSIDER

BUYING A NEW HOME House hunting can be fun in the beginning. But now it seems like it’s dragging on. You’re exhausted. It seems like the search will never end and each home you view isn’t how you envisioned it. Whatever the reason: there aren’t enough bedrooms, or the home just isn’t your style. Face it—It’s tough to say you’re going to spend big bucks for a place that you just aren’t 100 percent in love with.

Creative Living 68 Digest.indd 3

10/22/20 3:47 PM

However, there is another option. You can always build.

Building a new home offers an array of options. You can customize it the way you like and plan it to your exact specifications. It gives you the freedom to make it yours‚—as opposed to building off someone else’s choices and ideas. Need some more convincing? Here other top reasons why you should build your new home: You get to choose the neighborhood. Maybe you saw the perfect home, but the neighborhood was anything but ideal. It’s all about location, location, location! For some, location is even more important than what’s inside the home itself. When you build your own home, you get to choose the neighborhood. The options are endless, which means you’ll get both the house you like and the ideal neighborhood you want.

Newer energy-efficient systems will save you money. When it comes to older homes, water and electrical systems often aren’t up to par with the newest technology. Things like air conditioning, heat and water end up costing way more in an older home. In a new home, you can select the most energy efficient systems. This will help you save money on those monthly bills and in the long run.

You create the house layout. Again, it’s all about customization. When building a new home, you get to set things to your exact specifications. Do you want an open-concept home? You got it. Do you have a vision about how the kitchen will be set up? Voice it. Building a new home means you can pick and choose when it comes to the layout of the house and floor plans.

It’s brand new, meaning no repairs are needed - at least not anytime soon. Older homes frequently come with their fair share of repairs and necessary upgrades. With all the maintenance, suddenly owning a home can feel like a part-time job. When you build a new home, everything is new. You likely won’t have to pay for repairs or renovations for years to come. This means you’ll be able to sit back and relax and enjoy your new digs!

You get to select flooring, paint colors, and more!

Building a new home means customization!

It can be fun, and it can also help you feel like you have more ownership over your home. You become more immersed in the building and design process, which can, help you understand your home more and allow you to create a space you truly love.

POWER SAFETY BEFORE OR A F T E R M A J O R S TO R M S When a big storm hits, potential damage to your home is top-of-mind. One of the key areas of costly damage often comes from overlooked sources of electricity. Costly damage to residential electrical systems can be minimized or avoided, while ensuring human safety by following these important steps while preparing homes for an oncoming storm.

1. Before evacuating, unplug all appliances and turn off main power sources and all electrically powered equipment. If you do not have access to the main power, contact an electrician or your electric company to assist.

2. If you have an on-site generator, test it before the storm to ensure functionality. If you have a generator, be sure to keep it outside of your home, as it produces carbon monoxide.

Equip your home with a working, battery powered carbon monoxide detector as well, and test that it works before firing up the generator.

Following the storm, residents, rescuers and others in the area should take additional precautions, including: xx Do not enter a home or building that has xx Locate the main panel to see if any circuit standing water inside until it is confirmed that breakers or fuses have tripped if there is no the main power is shut off. electricity upon return. xx If there are any signs of smoke, fire or water xx If there is evidence of flooding but it is difficult damage near electrical outlets, immediately to determine if the main power has been unplug all items in the area and contact an turned off, do not attempt to turn it off. Contact electrician. an electrician or the local electric utility.

Electricity is a dangerous thing, and even more so when water is added to the mix. Pre or post storm do not hesitate to contact your electrician and enlist their help to prepare or help in the post-storm damage assessment.

SHOULD YO U B U Y A V A C AT I O N HOME? S I G N S YO U SHOULD

Many people opt for buying a second home or a vacation home.

Before you start your search, you’ll need to make sure you can commit to buying that vacation home. Here are some signs that you can pull it off:

Creative Living 54 Digest.indd 3

5/24/19 2:21 PM

1. YOU CAN AFFORD IT.

3. YOU DID YOUR RESEARCH.

You don’t want to buy a home that will leave you over your head in debt, but if your finances allow you to comfortably afford it, go ahead.

Keep in mind, you’ll need to pay utility bills, maintenance fees and insurance premiums. And depending on the neighborhood, there might be homeowner’s association fees too.

When visiting an area that you’re considering for a future home, enjoy yourself, but also take the time to understand what the surrounding area also has to offer. Also, be sure to visit during different parts of the year, so that you can get a feel for what it’s like to live there during different seasons. And if you plan to retire in this vacation home, make sure there are things like hospitals, doctors, and other amenities nearby.

A quick checklist can help you determine whether you have the funds to support the purchase: • Do you have emergency savings (at least three to six months’ worth of take-home pay)?

• Can you make a 20 percent down payment?

• Have you put away enough money for retirement?

• Have you calculated the potential return on your investment?

4. YOU HAVE A PLAN. Buying a seasonal home can be worth it if you have a plan in place. If you plan on renting the house out on Airbnb or Vacation Rental by Owner (VRBO), look at what similar houses are renting for. Then you can plan accordingly to determine how much income the property might bring in.

• Does it fit in with your long-term investment strategy and financial goals?

2. YOU PAID ATTENTION TO THE MARKET. If you keep track of changes in sales prices in your desired market, you’ll be able to time your purchase carefully.

Pay attention to seasonal demand as well – if you wait until the winter to buy that beach house, you might get a better deal.

DESIGNING THE

P E R F EC T

OUTDOOR KITCHEN

Spring is right around the corner, so now is a perfect time to start planning the outdoor kitchen you’ve always dreamed of. If you love cooking and entertaining outdoors, you’re in luck. With these following tips and the help from your local outdoor design company, your outdoor kitchen will be in full swing by summer.

START FROM THE GROUND UP

A show-stopping outdoor kitchen needs a quality stage that can stand up to heavy foot traffic and everyday kitchen mishaps such as dropped utensils or spilled sauces.

High-performance, wood-alternative decking is durable and easy-to-maintain – just a simple soap and water cleaning can take care of any common party foul. It delivers the natural aesthetic of wood without the back-breaking and time-consuming upkeep, so outdoor chefs can focus on what they love most – preparing delicious meals.

FACTOR IN FUNCTION

Plan for adequate storage to eliminate back-and-forth trips inside your house.

From pull-out trash bins to hidden ice chests for chilled drinks, find cabinetry that provides indoor convenience outside.

You can even get customized cabinets for televisions and entertainment systems.

SHINE SOME LIGHT

Double the time spent enjoying your outdoor kitchen by installing adequate lighting for cooking and entertaining well after sundown. For safety measures, put task lighting over countertops used for slicing and dicing, as well as near stovetops and other appliances that use heat or flame. To set an understated, sophisticated mood, add ambient lighting where your family and guests will wine and dine.

Creative Living 62 Digest.indd 8

THINK BEYOND THE GRILL

While outdoor cooking once meant a basic grill and a bag of charcoal, today’s outdoor kitchens are more elaborate and equipped than ever, featuring a range of appliances including professional-grade cooktops, refrigerators, sinks and dishwashers, as well as specialty features like brick ovens and fully stocked bars. Grills, too, have been upgraded to handle more than steaks and burgers – think whole turkeys, smoked meats and rotisseries. Your appliances will determine the outdoor kitchen dimensions, so consider how the appliances you want will fit within your design.

CREATE COMFORT

To welcome and accommodate your guests, your outdoor kitchen should be inviting and have ample seating and bar areas. For added comfort, integrate interior-inspired accents like decorative cushions and pillows made of weatherresistant materials. Additionally, your outdoor kitchen should incorporate enough counter space not only for food prep and serving, but also for creating a communal environment so guests can chat with the chef.

By working with the professionals and using these tips for inspiration, you’ll be hosting an awesome outside soirée as soon as the weather turns warm.
