But
Do You Really Need It?
Luxury at a COST!
Of
course a basement waterfall and grotto is a practical and useful
addition to
any home. That’s pretty much the only thing
standing between you and the
playboy lifestyle you’ve always dreamed about,
right? But who’s going to
clean it?
It’s
easy to fall in love with certain features of a home, but to find out
that
those same features, in the long run, are your least
favorite. Here are a
few common ‘extras’ and a quick assessment of their
relative values.
1.
In-floor Heating
Also referred to as radiant heat, in-floor heating is a brand new
invention. Well, except that the Romans did it a couple
thousand years
ago by channeling hot air under the floors of their villas.
And Frank
Lloyd Wright did it in the thirties with hot water, but other than that
. . .
For:
In-floor heat comes in two primary forms: hot water heat and
electric heat, and there are many advantages. The dramatic
energy savings
promised shouldn’t prompt you to ask for a decrease in salary
just yet, since
the more popular hot water radiant heat usually requires a second hot
water
heater and won’t shave too much off of your bill, but there
are some notably
appealing elements to in-floor heat in general. Radiant heat
is just that
– even and consistent, without the up-and-down temperature
shifts associated
with most conventional heating systems. It’s also
silent and invisible,
with no bulky radiators or even register vents ruining the feng of your
shui. Radiant heat also won’t dry the air, and
won’t have you hopping
about looking for your slippers on a cold morning.
Against:
In-floor heating systems are still considered a luxury, and can add a
fair bit
to the value of a home. They are new, and potential long-term
issues have
not been entirely worked out. A handful of people also are
leery about
the prospect of piping a significant amount of water throughout their
cherished
home for fear of potential leakage. All relatively minor
concerns.
Assessment:
Find someone with in-floor heating who doesn’t love
it. I dare you.
2.
Backyard Pool
It’s the quintessential luxury item that announces once and
for all that you
are a big dog, even in parts of the country like this one where it can
only be
used about ten minutes per year. It is the swimming
pool. From
pools that are little more than big pits of standing water to
jewel-encrusted
infinity pools that usually adjoin large bodies of water, pools were
once the
thing. Are they still?
For:
A 2004 4-state NAR study found that having a pool increased property
values
from 8 to 15%. The idea of kicking back all summer with a
piña colada,
sitting next to the lapping water with friends can be quite
attractive.
And rightfully so.
Against:
Safety issues have not been blown out of proportion by the
media. Pool
deaths happen all the time, there’s no getting around that
fact. Pools
are expensive to maintain, even without hiring a pool cleaner, and are
a lot of
work. As beautiful as a pool can be when it is maintained
properly, it
can be an eyesore if it is not. A pool tends to negate having
any
significant usable space for a backyard. Am I missing
anything?
Assessment:
The issues involved with owning a pool can be overcome, and many people
enjoy
having a pool very much. You just have to want one really
badly for it to
be worthwhile.
3.
Dream Kitchen
Kitchens do cool things these days. Appliances paneled to
look like
cabinets, an extra tap above the stove for filling large pots of water,
$15,000
pounded-copper range hoods, and 460 different countertop materials . .
.
For:
Kitchens are finally being designed with maximum utility in
mind. When
shopping for a home, focus on the kitchen – it is where you
will likely spend a
great deal of your time, and the room in which every party tends to
congregate. Before you fall in love with that Kohler faucet,
however,
analyze the kitchen’s layout from a purely utilitarian
standpoint. Is the
magic triangle of sink-stove-fridge arranged conveniently?
Are cabinets
and other storage in logical places? Is there sufficient
light? And
most importantly, is this a space you will feel comfortable and happy
in?
Don’t underestimate the importance of a functional and
attractive kitchen.
Against:
Be careful not to fall in love with the impermanent fixtures in a
kitchen. While those glass-front, backlit uppers may
brilliantly display
the seller’s Royal Daulton bone china, will your mixed
collection of garage
sale Melmac have the same effect? Likewise, if your idea of
cooking is
heating up last night’s pizza, perhaps space would be better
used elsewhere.
Assessment: The kitchen is the hub of virtually any
home. Don’t
underestimate its importance.
4.
Activity Rooms
This is an overly broad categorization, of course, but activity rooms
like
workshops, games rooms, and exercise rooms tend to hold common appeal
– and
common drawbacks.
For:
Having the right setup for a particular activity can be
inspiring. Having
a single power tool in each room of your house and each corner of the
garage
and shed is not exactly the ideal situation for building that crib you
started
on for your daughter and are determined to finish before the birth of
you
granddaughter. Likewise, if you have the latest elliptical
trainer and
weight set in a room next to your bedroom with a 12 foot plasma TV
facing it,
perhaps you will find that six-pack after all.
Against:
If you can’t make a dovetail joint, all of the tools in the
world will not give
you that knowledge. If you haven’t lifted anything
heavier than a handful
of pork rinds in the last decade, a workout room will likely soon
become just a
TV room with uncomfortable seating. Unreasonable expectations
usually
develop into unreasonable decisions.
Assessment:
Your home should inspire you and will, to a certain extent, dictate
your
lifestyle. Be rational in your decisions, however, and aim
for
versatility rather than rooms that are locked in to a particular use
that may
not be as useful in the future.
The
Bottom Line
With
all of your dream home features, try to let reason prevail (or at least
get a
word in edgewise). You may absolutely worship the tumbled
marble
rainforest shower with the heated towel rack, but it will be of little
comfort
every morning and night when you are cursing the home’s lack
of closet
space. It is often the most boring attributes of a home that
will give
you the most pleasure.
Now,
off to luxuriate in my rainforest shower. I had to take out
the bedroom
to install it, but that’s okay, I don’t mind
sleeping in the kitchen...
5
Things To Do
Before
Putting Your Home on the
Market
1.
Have a pre-sale home inspection. Be
proactive by
arranging for a pre-sale home inspection. An inspector will be able to
give you
a good indication of the trouble areas that will stand out to potential
buyers,
and you’ll be able to make repairs before open houses begin.
2.
Organize and clean. Pare down clutter
and pack up your least-used
items, such as large blenders and other kitchen tools, out-of-season
clothes, toys,
and exercise equipment. Store items off-site or in boxes neatly
arranged in the
garage or basement. Clean the windows, carpets, walls, lighting
fixtures, and
baseboards to make the house shine.
3.
Get replacement estimates. Do you have
big-ticket items
that are worn our or will need to be replaced soon, such your roof or
carpeting? Get estimates on how much it would cost to replace them,
even if you
don’t plan to do it yourself. The figures will help buyers
determine if they
can afford the home, and will be handy when negotiations begin.
4.
Find your warranties. Gather up the
warranties, guarantees, and user
manuals for the furnace, washer and dryer, dishwasher, and any other
items that
will remain with the house.
5.
Spruce up the curb appeal. Pretend
you’re a buyer and
stand outside of your home. As you approach the front door, what is
your
impression of the property? Do the lawn and bushes look neatly
manicured? Is the
address clearly visible? Are pretty flowers or plants framing the
entrance? Is
the walkway free from cracks and impediments?
Homeowner
Tips!
Baking Soda
Usefulness
(Besides the Fridge Refresher)
1. Linen Refresher: Stave
off mustiness by placing an open box of baking soda alongside your
towels and linens. This is great especially if you are trying
to impress guests or buyers...
2. Skin Smoother:
Mix with 3:1 water
and create a simple low cost facial. Look fabulous!
3.
Scribble Eraser: Apply
it to a damp cloth and use it to remove crayon, pencil and ink marks
from your painted walls. Presentation makes a HUGE impact!
4.
Souring Agent: Pour
on a baked on pan and let sit for five minutes, then scrub off for easy
removal. A must for
scrubbing ease.
5.
Toothpaste: It
works! If you are out of toothpaste, mix it with water for a good clean
set of teeth. Smile...
6.
Drain Unclogged: I
love this one! Pour one cup of baking soda down the drain, then chase
it down with one cup of vinegar. Let it sit for a few minutes and then
follow with a gallon of boiling water. Whew...
7. Stain Remover: Make
a paste mixed with a little bit of water and use to scrub your coffee
cup stains.
Just
some handy tips to make home life a happy life!
Selling
Your Home?
Where to Begin...
First
Impressions
Remember
what first attracted you to your house when you bought it? What excited
you about it most? When deciding how best to present your home for
sale, it is helpful to try to get back into that buyer’s
frame of mind.
A
spruced-up house makes a great first impression on potential buyers. An
attractive property grabs their attention and makes them excited about
finding a house that looks and feels well cared for. Because buyers
believe they’ll encounter fewer problems if they buy it, your
house becomes more appealing and stands out from the competition. So if
you prepare your home correctly, you’ll save time selling it
when it’s on the market.
A
good first impression makes an impact on a number of levels.
It’s not just the way your house looks to potential buyers,
but how it feels and smells to them, how their friends and family will
react, how they imagine it would be to live there.
With
simple improvements throughout your house, you can grab the attention
of potential buyers and help them see why your house is right for them.
Plan
Ahead
Create
a plan to enhance your property. Keep a notebook, and as you stroll
through your home and yard, make a list of what needs to be done.
Consider what your property looks like to people driving by or walking
through your door. What will they like or dislike? What needs fixing,
painting, cleaning? What can you improve? Whether you paint your house
or fix up the yard, your efforts don’t need to be costly;
even inexpensive improvements and minor repairs go far towards
attracting serious buyers. But remember, those seemingly insignificant
problems you’ve learned to live with can actually discourage
potential buyers.
Here
are some ideas for increasing your home’s appeal in order to
sell it quickly at the best price:
Interior
Clean
Everything
Buyers
expect a spotless house, inside and out, so clean everything,
especially your windows and window sills. Scrub walls and floors, tile
and ceilings, cupboards and drawers, kitchen and bathrooms. Wash scuff
marks from doors and entryways, clean light fixtures and the fireplace.
Don’t forget the laundry room. And put away your clothes.
Cut
the Clutter
People
are turned off by rooms that look and feel cluttered. Remember,
potential buyers are buying your house, not your furniture, so help
them picture themselves and their possessions in your home by making
your rooms feel large, light, neutral, and airy. As you clean, pack
away your personal items, such as pictures, valuables, and
collectibles, and store or get rid of surplus books, magazines,
videotapes, extra furniture, rugs, blankets, etc. Consider renting a
storage unit to eliminate clutter in your garage and attic.
It’s
hard to get rid of possessions, but cleaning and clearing out the
clutter can really pay off in the end. Packing away your clutter also
gets you started packing for your next move. Make your garage and
basement as tidy as the rest of your house. Simple little tasks such as
storing your tools and neatly rolling up your garden hose suggest that
you take good care of your house. Don’t let anything detract
from making your best first impression.
Closets
They’re
an important consideration to many buyers. By storing clothing you
won’t use soon, you’ll make closets look more
spacious.
Paint
A
new coat of paint cleans up your living space and makes it look bright
and new. To make rooms look larger, choose light, neutral colors that
will appeal to the most people possible, such as beige or white.
Carpet
Check
its condition. If it’s worn, consider replacing it.
It’s an easy and affordable way to help sell your home
faster. Again, light, neutral colors, such as beige, are best. If you
don’t replace it, you can suggest to potential buyers that
they could select new carpet and you’ll reduce your price;
buyers like to hear they’re getting a deal. At the very
least, have your carpet cleaned.
Repairs
and Renovations
It’s
best to avoid making major renovations just to sell the house since
you’re unlikely to recoup those costs in your selling price.
Make minor repairs to items such as leaky faucets, slow drains, torn
screens, damaged gutters, loose doorknobs, and broken windows. Make
sure repairs are well done; buyers won’t take you seriously
if your home improvement efforts look messy, shoddy, or amateurish.
Leaks
and Moisture
Water
stains on ceilings or in the basement alert buyers to potential
problems. Don’t try to cosmetically cover up stains caused by
leaks. If you’ve fixed the water problem, repair the damage
and disclose in writing to the buyer what repairs were made.
Exterior
Curb
Appeal
The
"Wow" factor — that first visual, high-impact impression your
home makes on potential buyers — can turn a looker into a
buyer. To determine your property’s curb appeal, drive
through your neighborhood and note other properties; then approach your
own house as if you were a potential buyer. How does it look? Does it
"wow" you? Will its curb appeal attract buyers? Note what needs
improving, such as trimming trees, planting shrubs, or painting
gutters. Little things convey that you’ve cared for your
home, and this is your opportunity to sell that important message to
buyers who are shopping from the street, simply cruising neighborhoods
looking for houses for sale. To get them through your door, do what you
can to make your property look like someone’s dream home.
Paint/Stain
If
it’s peeling or blistering and you can’t remember
the last time you painted it, your house needs some attention. That
also goes for stain that is significantly faded. A newly painted or
stained exterior will help sell your house faster, and whether you do
it yourself or hire someone, you’ll also increase your
home’s value.
In the
Yard
Grab
people’s attention by enhancing your yard and landscaping. If
your house looks inviting and well-maintained from the street, people
will imagine that it’s attractive on the inside, too.
·1
Prune bushes and hedges; trim trees.
·2
Keep your lawn looking healthy and green by mowing it often,
fertilizing it, and keeping it edged and trimmed.
·3
Clean up and dispose of pet mess.
·4
Weed your gardens; add fertilizer and mulch and plant
colorful flowers.
·5
In winter, keep your driveway and sidewalks shoveled,
de-iced, and well-lit.
·6
Stack firewood, clean out birdbaths, repair and paint fences.
The
Front Door
An
attractive entry catches a buyer’s eye and says, "Welcome,"
so highlight this area of your house with decorative touches, such as a
wreath on the door or new shrubs and flowers around the steps. For an
even grander entry, clean and paint your front door, or replace it with
a new one for a few hundred dollars. Don’t forget to fix and
polish doorknobs, repair torn screens, and then put out that new
welcome mat.

SELLERS!
Caution...
Mistakes
that Sellers Often Make
Mistake
#1 – Incorrect Pricing
Every
seller naturally wants to get the most money for his or her product.
The most common mistake that causes sellers to get less than they hope
for, however, is listing too high. Listings
reach the greatest proportion of potential buyers shortly after they
reach the market.
If a property is dismissed as
being overpriced early on, it can result in later price reductions. Overpriced
properties tend to take an unusually long time to sell, and they end up
being sold at a lower price than they likely would have had they been
priced properly in the first place.
Mistake
#2 -- Mistaking Re-finance Appraisals for Market Value
Re-finance
appraisals can be very encouraging for homeowners, leading them to
assume that the appraisal is the amount that they should expect to
receive for their property. Lenders often estimate the value of your
property higher than it actually is, however, in order to encourage
re-financing. The market value of your home could actually be (and
often is) lower. Your best bet is to ask your Realtor® for the
most recent information regarding property sales in your community.
This will give you an up-to-date and factually accurate estimate of
your property value.
Mistake
#3 -- Failing to "Showcase"
In
spite of how frequently this mistake is addressed and how simple it is
to avoid, its prevalence is still widespread. When attempting to sell
your home to prospective buyers, do not forget to make your home look
as pleasant as possible. Make necessary repairs. Clean. Make sure
everything functions and looks presentable, and remove as many
possessions as you can prior to showing. A poorly kept home, or one
with too much clutter, will make it dramatically more difficult for
buyers to become emotionally interested in your property.
Mistake
#4 - Trying to "Hard Sell" While Showing
Buying
a house is always an emotional and difficult decision. As a result, you
should try to allow prospective buyers to comfortably examine your
property. Don't try haggling or forcefully selling. Instead, be
friendly and hospitable. Pointing out any unnoticed amenities and being
receptive to questions is advisable, but this is not the time for
negotiation and salesmanship.
Mistake
#5 - Trying to Sell to Lookers
A
prospective buyer who shows interest because of a For Sale sign or an
open house ad may not really be interested in your property. Often,
buyers who are not accompanied by a Realtor® are 6-9 months
away from buying, and are more interested in seeing what is out there
than in actually making a purchase. They may still have to sell their
house, or may not be able to afford a house yet. They may still even be
unsure as to whether or not they want to relocate.
Your
Realtor® should be able to distinguish realistic potential
buyers from mere lookers. Realtors®
should usually find out a prospective buyer's savings, credit rating,
and purchasing power in general. If your Realtor® fails to find
out this pertinent information, you should do some investigating and
questioning on your own. This will help you avoid wasting valuable time
marketing to the wrong people. If you have to do this work yourself,
consider finding a new Realtor®.
Mistake
#6 -- Being Ignorant of Your Rights & Responsibilities
It is
extremely important that you are well-informed of the details of your
real estate contract. Real estate contracts are legally binding
documents, and they can often be complex and confusing. Not being aware
of the terms in your contract could cost you thousands for repairs and
inspections. Know what you are responsible for before signing any
contract. Can the property be sold "as is"? How will deed restrictions
and local zoning laws affect your transaction? Not knowing the answers
to these kinds of questions could end up costing you a considerable
amount of money.
Mistake
#7 - Signing a Contract with No Escape
Hopefully
you will have taken the time to choose the best Realtor® for
you. But sometimes, as we all know, circumstances change. Perhaps you
misjudged your Realtor®, or perhaps the Realtor® has
other priorities on his or her mind. In any case, you should have the
right to fire your agent. Also, you should have the right to select
another agent of your choosing. Many real estate companies will simply
replace an agent with another one, without consulting you. Be sure to
have control over your situation before signing a real estate contract.
Mistake
#8 - Limited Marketing
There
are two obvious marketing tools that nearly every seller uses: open
houses and classified ads. Unfortunately, these two tools are rather
ineffective. Less than 1% of homes are sold at open houses, and less
than 3% are sold because of classified ads. In fact, Realtors® often
use open houses solely to attract future prospects, not to sell that
particular house.
Does your Realtor® have a website? There
are very few successful real estate professionals who don’t,
and for good reason.
Your
Realtor® should employ a wide variety of marketing techniques
and should be committed to selling your property; he or she should be
available for every phone call from a prospective buyer. Most calls are
received,
and open houses are scheduled, during business hours, so make sure that
your Realtor® is working on selling your home during these
hours (many Realtors® work
part-time).
Mistake
#9 - Choosing the Wrong Realtor®
Selling
your home could be the most important financial transaction in your
lifetime. As a result, it is extremely important that you select a
Realtor® who is a good match for you. Experienced real estate
agents often cost the same as brand new agents. Chances are that the
experienced agent will be able to bring you a higher price in less time
and with fewer hassles.
Take
your time when selecting a real estate agent. Interview several; ask
them key questions. If you want to make your selling experience the
best it can be, it is crucial that you select the best agent for you.
BUYERS!
Things to Avoid...
Shopping for a new home is an emotional experience. It
is, however, also a business transaction, and must be treated as such. Three
of the most devastating things that can go wrong are:
- Paying too much
- Losing a dream home to
another buyer
- Buying the wrong home
When you have a systematic
plan before you shop, you’ll be sure to avoid these costly
errors. Here are some tips on making the most of your home purchase:
Get the information you need
What price do you offer a seller? Is the seller’s asking
price too high? Is it a deal? Your own research is important, as is the
assistance of a Realtor®. A
professional Realtor® can offer an unbiased opinion on the
value of a home, based on many factors and a great deal of information.
Without knowledge of the market, your offer could be too much. Or
worse, you could miss out on a great buying opportunity. Hire
the right person and trust that person to represent your interests.
Buy YOUR home
What do you need and want in a home? Sounds simple, but clearly
identifying your needs and bringing an objective view to home shopping
leaves you in a much better position. How much space do you really
need?
Too small and you may feel
like you live in constant clutter. Too
big and maintenance may become too daunting. Outline
all of your priorities, and work on finding not just a great home, but
a great home for you.
Check the title
Before you sign any document, be sure the property you are considering
is free of all encumbrances. As a part of his or her services, a
Realtor® can supply you with a copy of the title to ensure
there are no liens, debts, undisclosed owners, leases or easements
against the title.
Update the survey
Before the purchase is completed, an updated survey is essential. This
report will indicate boundaries and structural changes (additions to
the house, a new swimming pool, neighbor’s new fence which is
extending a boundary line, etc.), and will guarantee that you are
indeed getting what you pay for.
Minimize the unexpected
For $300 - $500, a professional inspector will conduct a thorough
inspection of the home. Their expertise can mean the difference between
uncovering major flaws before or after you own a home. Make the final
contract subject to the report’s findings.
Get pre-approved
It only takes a few days to get financing pre-approval. When you are
shopping for a home, this gives you more power. A seller is more likely
to consider an offer from a serious buyer.
Remember additional costs
Besides the funds for the purchase of a home, you’ll need
funds for items such as loan fees, insurance, legal fees, surveys,
inspections, etc.
Take a deep breath
Before you sign, ensure that all documentation clearly reflects your
understanding and conditions of the transaction. Has anything been
forgotten? Don’t rush. You could lose money, financing, or
even the sale if you attempt to push things through too hastily.
Sunrise in Virginia Beach, Virginia...
Just to reintroduce myself...
My name is Myra Spano and I'm a real estate agent with Long & Foster at the Oceanfront in Virginia Beach. I haven't been actively blogging here much, however I have enjoyed reading your blogs for the last couple of years.
I want to start sharing my experiences with you all and get your experienced input and feedback. Real estate is my passion and helping people is a very rewarding, and I want to offer the best I can. I appreciate your support!
Ok, so I'm guilty in that I haven't been sharing these delightful images of the sunrise here in Virginia Beach, so here are a few. Enjoy!
