Should you Love It or List It?

By Stephanie Patterson | Cole Team Real Estate with Compass

That’s because parting with a home falls into the “major life change” category. Cue the second-guessing, polling all friends and family for opinions, obsessive list-making and mentally running through all scenarios as soon as your head hits the pillow. If you feel like this describes how you feel about parting with your home, it’s time to take a deep breath and consider the signs life has been throwing your way. Here’s how to know if it’s time to sell, refinance, or just stay put.

The Scenario: You’re Paying PMI It’s A Sign To: Refinance or Do Nothing — If your down payment was less than 20%, your loan likely came with private mortgage insurance that has added a little extra to your monthly payment. If you now have at least 20% equity in your home, you can refinance your loan in order to remove the PMI. If you don’t have at least 20% equity yet, it might be worth waiting a little bit longer.

The Scenario: You’ve Just Made A Big Investment It’s A Sign To: Stay Put — Whether you’ve put a lot of money into your home through renovations or upgrades, or you made another big investment in your life (you started a business, went back to school, bought a boat, etc.), you could be stretched a little too thin to sell your home right now. While renovations often add to the value of a home, they don’t guarantee a higher sales price and shouldn’t be the sole motivation for selling. This is especially true if you made highly personal choices in your improvements, like going for fire engine red kitchen cabinetry. Instead, enjoy the new scenery.

Named “Best of Forsyth” for the 5th year in a row by Forsyth County News

The Scenario: You’ve Suddenly Noticed 100 Things You Dislike About Your Home It’s A Sign To: Stay Put and Update or Sell — After the honeymoon phase with your home is over, you may grow to dislike certain features about it that you once loved.

However, who is to say that the pattern won’t repeat with a different property? If you’ve only just settled in a short while ago, you haven’t yet learned to live with the home you have.

Fight that FOMO (fear of missing out) by making improvements like upgrading the kitchen or bath, fixing up the exterior for a little curb appeal, or even just trying simple fixes like repainting the rooms or adding new furniture.

The Scenario: You’ve Got Debt (But Also Equity) It’s A Sign To: Refinance — Sure, you might profit from the sale of your home, which could help you pay off lingering loans, credit card balances and other types of debt. But that’s not a guarantee. Plus, in order to get the highest offers, you could end up having to invest in making repairs and upgrades. If you’ve built equity, you can refinance to a lower interest rate and a lower monthly payment, thus freeing up more money in your budget. Another option to consider is a cash-out refinance to consolidate your debt. This pays off the balances up front, then you’d make fixed payments on the refinanced loan.

The Scenario: You’re Run Out Of Space It’s A Sign To: Sell — Maybe your family has expanded since you bought your one-bedroom, or you decluttered repeatedly but you’d need to become a minimalist to make your space work. Instead of drastically changing your lifestyle, change your home.

If budget is a concern, prioritize space over other items on your real estate wish list like a specific neighborhood, high-end amenities, new construction or a newly-updated home.

Despite what real estate reality shows might have led you to believe, the decision to sell your home isn’t simple — and it definitely isn’t a decision that you can reach in 30 minutes. This is true even if you never really loved your property in the first place, or it’s become a daily cause of stress. Maybe the commute is awful, your neighbors live to find new ways to annoy you, or the “fixer upper” kitchen is still an avocado-colored nightmare.

A Message from the Association Manager SPRING IS IN THE AIR

What does that mean? It’s time for the 4 P’s of home ownership.

It’s time to get outside and take a 360 walk around your home.

What do you see? Is your Paint fading or peeling? Do you need a fresh coat? Is your driveway and sidewalk filthy and moldy? How about a good ole fashion Pressure washing? Let’s not forget landscaping. Now is the time to Prune trees and trim overgrown bushes. Additionally, it is time for that spring application of Pine straw (mulching material).

As we head into spring these are a few areas we will be looking at during our covenant inspections. Make sure you don’t receive one of those pesky notices by being proactive and checking off those maintenance items now.

EXTERIOR PAINTING IT’S MORE IMPORTANT THAN YOU MIGHT THINK You can save a lot on the extent of necessary painting and repairs by catching failure early. Keep a close eye out for spider cracks, fading, and on the overall health of your older paint in particular. (** Please remember all painting projects require prior approval/an ARC application must be submitted) PRESSURE WASHING Did you know that routine pressure washing will increase the lifespan of your paint and stain? And, it can transform your exterior surfaces, washing away corrosive residues, mold, mildew, and more from your deck, patio, walkways, driveway, and siding.

PINE STRAW & MULCH ARTICLE I. Pine straw & Mulch –there are many benefits to using pine straw as natural garden mulch. First and foremost, pine straw is a natural by-product; meaning pine straw is discarded by pine trees naturally. Pine needles (straw) help provide excellent growing conditions for healthy trees, plants and shrubs.

Here are some benefits of pine straw and mulch installation besides the appearance.

• Pine straw and mulch installation are essential to the survival of your landscape during a drought. They will reduce the amount of water that evaporates from your soil, greatly reducing your need to water your plants.

• Pine straw and mulch improve the quality of your soil by breaking up clay and allowing better water and air movement through the soil. Also, mulch provides nutrients to sandy soil and improves its ability to hold water.

• Pine straw and mulch act as an insulating layer on top of soil, keeping it cooler in the summer.

• Pine straw and mulch keep weeds down, and the weeds that do grow are much easier to pull.

• They are also a great deterrent against weeds, insects, and rodent free.

PRUNING LANDSCAPE TREES Proper pruning of landscape trees improves their structural strength, maintains their health, enhances their beauty, and increases their value.

Why Should Trees Be Pruned?

Pruning is advisable if: • trees have crossing branches, weak branch unions, or other defects • branches are dead, dying, decayed, or hazardous • lower branches interfere with people or vehicles, or block visibility of signs • branches are growing into buildings or utility wires • limbs have been broken by storms • trees have grown too large and might injure people or damage property Landscape trees not only make homes and communities more beautiful, but they also improve our environment and can increase the value of a property up to 20 percent. Trees are truly assets that need to be enhanced and protected. Proper pruning is definitely a worthwhile investment!

FREQUENT VIOLATION REMINDERS We understand that no one wants to receive those pesky violation letters! The most frequent violations that can be easily avoided are: TRASH CANS

MAILBOXES

LAWNS

They must be stored out of view from the street. They cannot be stored on the side of the house or by the garage.

Please make sure that mailboxes are not faded and that mailboxes numbers are easily visible.

We ask that pine straw and mulch are kept looking new and fresh.

Your yard is one of the first things that is noticed about your home and an opportunity to enhance the look of your home and lot!

IS IT OKAY TO BATH YOUR

By Susan Tanner, Windermere Pet Sitter

In general, puppies do not need to be bathed unless visibly dirty or smelly. Puppies and older dogs need the natural oils in their fur to keep their coats and skin healthy.

Most dog shampoos are for dogs around 3 months old or older, but you can still bath younger puppies, if needed.

DRY SHAMPOO Not all dog shampoos are suitable for all puppies; the label will indicate the age at which the product is safe to use. It’s best not to bathe puppies using most dog shampoos until they are 12 weeks old, but dry shampoos differ...similar to human shampoos. For instance, if your puppy gets into something stinky, you can use a deodorizing shampoo. Dogs have various skin types and many shampoos come in formulas for dry or sensitive skin among others. Choose the right shampoo for your puppy.

NEWBORN PUPPIES It is okay to GENTLY wash a newborn with a warm, moist washcloth if necessary. The mother generally licks her puppies to clean them, but a warm cloth over the body particularly the lower abdomen and rectum areas will accomplish the same thing. Other than that, newborns don’t usually get “dirty” as they are not moving around and playing. If you do wash them, keep them WARM during cleaning and afterward as chill can lead to illness or even death.

COVERED IN DIRT! On occasion, a playful puppy who is still too young for shampoos may get so dirty that a bath is required. If you cannot find an age appropriate shampoo, use a very small amount of no tears baby shampoo.

Putting a puppy even in a shampoo-less bath can be beneficial to both him and you. Baths will be needed throughout their lives so it becomes much easier if they are already accustomed to it!

Here’s to HAPPY BATHING!!

Testimonials:

Great camp all around. Of all the camps my 7 year old attended this Summer, this is the one he talks about constantly. The level of programming and circuit building was beyond anything expected. Extremely impressive for kids of this age. Would return again in a heartbeat.

I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen my son more passionate about anything that he was to attend the Imagine That Minecraft camp. He asked me to wake him up early so that he could get there first thing in the morning and get started. His instructor is amazing and he’s learning a ton. Very high recommendation for this camp. Well put together and organized. It was a first class experience. www.WindermereCommunity.net Windermere Leaflet
