November is a great month to check off your fall home maintenance tasks. You may have a lot of weekend projects you’re trying to get done before peak holiday season begins. In many regions, this is a great month to finish up outdoor projects before snow we get any more snow or inclement weather begins.

Below are a few simple maintenance tasks to consider this month:

🍂 Clean roof and remove moss, leaves, and branches
🍂 Aerate the lawn and remove leaves
🍂 Cut back tree limbs and branches
🍂 Replace outdoor light bulbs if necessary

Each year, major paint companies such as Sherwin-Williams and Pantone announce their color of the year and interior designers adopt these colors to build beautiful kitchens, bathrooms and living spaces.

Here are the most popular color trends to look out for this Fall:

🔸Champagne
Champagne is replacing the cool grays which have been dominating the world of interior design for years. It will make any room feel warmer, adding an earthy touch to interiors and creating a calming environment. You can pair champagne with bold textures and materials. You can also play around with metallic accessories such as gold and silver

🔸Navy Blue
Navy blue is a timeless color that is growing in popularity. Naval SW 6244 is Sherwin-Williams’ color of the year for 2020, and it is a dark, rich navy blue that is reminiscent of the night sky. Dark hues of blue pair beautifully with champagne, giving any home a cozy and welcoming feel. You can use it to paint an entire room – works wonders in a living room or use it to create a stunning accent wall.

🔸Charcoal
Dark colors have been trending for quite some time now, and they will continue to trend in 2020. Charcoal is a very chic and intimate color that can be used in almost any room – bedroom, kitchen, bathroom. Charcoal can be used on an accent wall or can be the main color in a room. It pairs perfectly with other shades of grey, adding visual interest and depth to space.

What’s your favorite color combo?

A picture is worth a thousand words. We’ve all heard the saying before, and it’s definitely true when it comes to real estate. It would be almost impossible to fully describe a house without photos. One thing for sure is that not all images are created equal. Blurry or poor-quality photos can be detrimental when selling your home. The question is, “Does professional photography help sell homes more quickly?”

The simple answer is True!

$75 million 300-apartment, multiuse South Regal development on brink of breaking ground

Work should begin early next year on the long-undeveloped KXLY site on South Regal Street.

Money isn’t everything, but everything needs money! Have you thought about your down payment?

An ideal down payment in the eyes of a lender is 20% of the home’s purchase price. By putting down 20% you don’t have to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI). Putting 20% down can also make you a more attractive borrower. But depending on the price of the home, 20% could be out of reach. In fact, most first-time homebuyers put down less than 10%. FHA loans allow down payments as low as 3.5%. And some Veterans Affairs (VA) mortgages allow for no down payment.

I don't know about you, but I get the urge to decorate for the holiday season immediately after Halloween ... sometimes even September! And, I'm thinking 2020 calls for TWO months of joy, gratitude + celebration, instead of just one. Don't ya think?

I have already started binge-watching Hallmark movies and creating holiday crafts with a glass of wine in hand, BUT what if this month we commit to switching our consumer mindset to a giving one?

Living generously can fill our hearts and our cups and in a season where everyone could use a little more support, why not be the one to provide it to a neighbor or a stranger?

These are just a few ways to give back during not just during the season, but all year round. I hope you are inspired to give back as well!

Start where you are, use what you have, do what you can ... and remember, if you want to fly, give up everything that weighs you down.

Have a great Sunday!

There’s nothing cozier than curling up with a blanket next to a toasty fire on a crisp evening while enjoying a nice cup of tea. A fireplace will bring you all the warmth and comfort you’re looking for.

With that said, which fireplace would you go with?

You have decided that it’s time to put your house up for sale. Your next step is finding the right real estate agent for you.

Here are a few questions to ask:

☑️ Are you familiar with my neighborhood?
☑️ How many homes have you sold in the last 12 months? (A REALTOR's years in the business doesn't matter if he/she is only selling a few each year.)
☑️ Can you walk into my home and tell me precisely what buyers will love?
☑️ What would you recommend changing about my house?
☑️ Will you hire a professional photographer for my home?
☑️ Will you stage my home? (Even in a Seller's Market staging is important!)
☑️ Are you going to promote my property online, including social media?
☑️ What is your list price to sales price ratio?
☑️ How are you handling showings regarding COVID-19?

My recommendation: Interview several agents to ensure you’ve found a good fit for you, your home and your neighborhood.

How much do I pay my agent to help me buy a house?

✔️Agents representing buyers (buyer’s agent) are compensated by the listing broker (seller’s agent) for bringing home buyers to the table.
✔️When the home is sold, the listing broker splits the listing fee with the buyer’s agent.
✔️So, as a buyer looking to buy a house, you DON’T PAY your agent any fees or commissions, maybe even with For Sale by Owner homes!

Both moving and renovating can be stressful, costly, and time-consuming. Here are two things to consider whether to sell or renovate?

🔸 Is it cheaper to renovate or move?
Renovations come with immediate, out-of-pocket expenses, whereas moving can put money in your pocket now but may cost you more down the line.

🔸 Is the timing right for you and your family?
Consider that moving translates into changing school districts, commute routes, and mortgage costs. Renovating your house, on the other hand, comes with immediate expenses, with the average home remodel costing $46,503. Would it make sense to take advantage of your equity and sell for extra cash?
