hen you purchase a home, interest rates play a big factor in determining how much your monthly payment will be as well as how much home you can buy.

Interest rates are determined by a number of factors, including the actions of the U.S. Federal Reserve, the health of the economy and the rate at which people are saving money. Given that most home sales are financed through the borrowing of money in the form of mortgages, the housing industry is profoundly affected by changes to these rates.

Interest rates are the rates at which money can be borrowed for a set period of time. The higher the rate, the more money a borrower must pay in the form of interest on the loan. Generally, when the interest rate is lower, people are more likely to borrow money, as doing so will cost them less than at another time. Conversely, when the interest rate is higher, borrowing becomes more expensive and slows. This principle applies to loans that come in the form of mortgages.

When interest rates are lower, people are generally more willing to take out a mortgage than when rates are higher.

When mortgage rates are lower, this makes the purchasing of a home more affordable. Lower mortgage rates also allow you to buy a higher priced home with a smaller monthly payment.

Because mortgage rates are so low, now is the great time to buy a home.

THINGS TO BUY WHEN MOVING INTO YOUR NEW HOME

New locks. Whether you choose to get brandnew locks or have a locksmith re-key the current ones, it’s important to have these changed. When moving into a new home, there’s really no telling how many copies of the house keys have been made. Another option? Install electric passcode locks. This way, you won’t need a key to enter the house, and no one will have your passcode.

A garage keypad. A garage keypad is extremely handy to have and gives you another way to enter your house when you don’t want to have keys, or simply need to get into the garage easily. Have your local garage door installer or electrician wire it up.

An alarm service. Some homes are wired with alarm systems and simply need to be re-activated with your account information. However, if you move into a new house and want an extra layer of security quickly, opt for a wireless service.

These can be set up and secure in a snap.

A new dryer hose. One of the most common sources of house fires is the dryer hose. If your new home has one left from the previous owners or you’re bringing your own, consider getting a new one so you’re assured it doesn’t have holes, tears or any buildup that can cause fires.

Air filters. Install new, high-quality air filters when you move in. This allows you to get a fresh

breath of air and not recirculate the previous owner’s air. Plus you just don’t know when they were last changed. Afterward, your move-in date can be the date that you change them monthly.

New cleaning supplies. It’s always nice to start fresh at a new home with a new mop, broom and other cleaning supplies.

New toilet seats. It may seem somehow changing the toilet seats to prefer, such as one-touch closing, is a to feel clean and fresh from day one of

silly, but ones you nice way move in.

Fire safety items. If the home you move into doesn’t have a fire extinguisher, this is a great time to install a new one or replace an existing one. Next, replace all the batteries in smoke detectors so you know you’re protected.

A first-aid kit. If your home doesn’t have a first-aid kit or you didn’t move one from your old house, start safe with a new one that’s fully stocked with fresh supplies.

Extra lighting. While you’re stocking up on light bulbs, don’t forget to add a rechargeable flashlight and a set of nightlights. Because you’ll be in a new house, strategically placed nightlights will help you navigate in your new house if you get up in the night; flashlights at the ready will prove useful should the electricity go out.

DECORATING WITH BLACK BRINGS ELEGANCE, DEPTH

T

here’s a color that is at once all colors, yet it’s the one most feared in decorating. That color is black.

Although black isn’t a color highly regarded for walls, black is coming into favor for decorative use in surprising ways.

There are several guidelines for decorating with this shade that are important to know so that everything looks balanced and you keep the hue from becoming too harsh. But if you’re looking to make an impact that shows your decorative fearlessness, black is your color.

HEAVYWEIGHT There’s no doubting the drama and intensity of the color black. It’s strong and elegant and can be used in any decorating style. Having black accents and accessories is a chic way to add gravitas to your room and unify it.

Unless, you want the room to be dark, if you use black paint on the walls, you’ll want to balance the room by having a bright, clear white for the ceiling and trim paint.

When you have black walls, play up the color by adding strong, bright accents. Artwork with bold colors pops against a black wall.

Good lighting is also important to keep the room from becoming depressing. Layer in lighting with lamps, wall sconces, and chandeliers. If black walls are too much of a stretch, try adding dark floors.

BLACK BOOST There are some places where black simply shines. From front doors to interior doors, a rich, glossy black is as gorgeous and elegant as it gets. Black doors and window frames are especially popular in the modern farmhouse design, but black has always been a classic.

Take the black-and-white checkerboard floors. It’s a clean, timeless look.

Today, though, black is coming into its own in the new black stainless appliances. These appliances read metal but without the glare and look fabulous against dark or black painted cabinets. Black is also showing up in bathroom fixtures and as a metal option on shower frames. The black color disappears into the background and looks clean and contemporary.

EXPERIMENT If you’re ready to express your decorating derring-do, black is the go-to color. Give a powder bathroom a coat of black paint or try a black patterned wallpaper. Pair with sparkling lighting fixtures and bright white trim and a glossy interior door. Or, go in contrast with white wallpaper featuring a black pattern and finish out the room with black trim.

In a study, what could be more introspective than black? Try an almost-black such as Farrow and Ball Off Black (www.farrowball.com). Pair with a dramatic lighting fixture and leather tufted sofa for a room that invites you to linger.

In the kitchen, give your island cabinets a coat of black to update it and give it more weight. Instead of white open cabinets, paint the wall behind open shelves or cabinets with black so dishes pop. Give barstools a coat of black or paint the pantry door black. Give window and table linens a black and white color scheme. It makes the perfect backdrop for colorful dishes. ©2022 KATHRYN WEBER. DISTRIBUTED BY TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY, LLC.

TIPS FOR HOME SELLERS

Welcome to 2022, and another year of the housing market favoring sellers over buyers.

It’s Economy 101: Too many qualified buyers chasing too few homes mean home prices will continue to rise as long as interest rates don’t get too high. If they do, the housing market will finally slow down and become more balanced.

Sellers selling in 2022 should, in most communities, be able to sell with relative ease during the first half of the year.

It may be a little tougher as we move toward 2023, depending on how fast interest rates rise.

If you’re selling this year, keep these tips in mind for an easier, speedier sale:

1

Price your home correctly.

If the last few years have proven anything, it’s that buyers will pay almost anything to get a home. Bidding wars were common. They may be less so in your community, so pay attention to the numbers your agent brings to the table.

Pricing your home competitively may generate a number of offers in excess of the list price. What you want is to generate interest and showings, and a “pie in the sky” price won’t do that, even with the dearth of homes for sale.

2

Make your home stand out online. There may not be a crowd of homes for sale, but you want yours noticed for all the right reasons.

Anyone looking in your neighborhood will see that your home is for sale. But they’re probably pretty seasoned buyers at this point, and they’ll quickly be able to tell if your home is a possibility.

So, do what you can to make your home look as clean and polished as possible: Strip your home of all personal effects and artwork, clear out half the furniture (or all, in some cases), repaint the walls white, buff the floors, and put up neutral bed coverings. Give your home

a deep cleaning, re-grout dirty tiles, and replace carpet as needed. Replace old fixtures with modern LED lights. Open the window shades (or remove them) and clean the windows.

Charming exteriors will get noticed faster, and if prospective sellers do a drive-by showing, your home must dazzle them into stopping to take a closer look. To that end, repair anything that’s broken. Repaint where needed. Be sure to shovel the driveway and walkways so prospective buyers don’t have trouble coming up to the front door. Once spring comes, plant colorful flowers and edge your lawn. Decide if your front door and walkway could use sprucing up with a coat of paint or a more complete refresh.

3

Decide in advance what is the minimum acceptable sales price, and then stick to it. One of the biggest mistakes sellers make is letting greed get the best of them.

Either they set the list price too high, and then have to go through painful rounds of list price reductions, or, once an offer comes in, they fight tooth and nail for every last dollar instead of negotiating to get the deal done.

The best thing you can do is decide what is the minimum price you’d be willing to accept. Write that number down and when the first offer rolls in, look at that piece of paper and see how it compares to the offer. If you’re at or above your minimum acceptable price, you’re in good shape. Everything else is gravy. And, if you get your minimum acceptable price, we think you should relax and feel good about the deal.

We believe that the best real estate deals happen when everyone walks away happy.

As a seller in 2022, resolve to move on from your home, grateful for the time you’ve spent there and the buyer who will care for your home going forward.
