Choose the Right Size For Your Next HomeIt’s not just inflation that’s driving up house prices—we are also seeking larger homes, which of course affects what you pay for a property.Homebuyers are feeling the sticker shock of higher prices, but it’s not just inflation. They want bigger homes. In 1949, the average size of a new single-family home was 909 square feet, while homes grew to 2,480 square feet by 2021. Homebuyers want more than they had before, including more space, energy-efficient appliances, and smart home technologies, all of which is making homes more expensive. But how much living space does a family really need? According to the National Association of REALTORS®, a typical home purchased recently is 1,800 square feet with three bedrooms and two bathrooms and was built in...

What Is the One Percent RuleLooking for a formula that helps assure success in property investment? Then look no further than the 1% rule. Find out all about it in this latest #GTK post.Who wants to make an investment that doesn’t yield a return? Certainly not real estate investors. They have formulas to assure their success as much as possible. One favorite is the one percent rule.Rocketmortgage.com explains that the one percent rule “measures the price of the investment property against the gross income it will generate.” That means that an investment must generate at least 1% or more in rental income based on the original purchase price. The rule continues as the investment property appreciates in value, which means the potential for profit in the form of higher rent is even greater....

Consider Home ConcessionsIf you find the perfect-buyer except they may be a little short on the money required to secure the home, there are several seller concessions available that allow you to contriubute a portion of the buyer's closing costs or other fees. This can help speed up the home selling process and ensure that your property is sold to the right buyer.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate

Declutter Your HomeSelling a house is the perfect time to take a good look at your belongings to see if anything could be sold, donated, recycled or thrown out. Not only does a decluttered home look more inviting to potential buyers, but come moving day, you'll only be transporting the items you really want to keep.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate

Make Improvements that Would Come Up in a Home InspectionTo improve the chances of the home sale process running smoothly, carry out a home inspection and make any recommended fixes before putting your property on the market.  These improvements may increase your home's value and will greatly reduce the chances of a potential buyer finding an issue later.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate

Patti Lupone in Concert at the Gogue Performing Arts CenterWhen Patti LuPone takes the stage, it unequivocally belongs to her. The Tony and Grammy Award-winning Broadway great delivered a quintessential bravura performance of her touring show “Don’t Monkey with Broadway.” It was a significant honor to see her in concert last night.  She even threw her drink on me…lol. Such a great show with great company! #PattiLuPone #gogueperformingartscenter #gogue #broadwaymusicals #tonyawardwinner #TonyAwards  #broadwayIf you have a chance to attend a performance at the Gogue Performing Arts Center I encourage you to do so.

Don't overvalue your propertyIt's a common misconception that opting for a listing price abve what's recommended will result in a higher sale price for your property. Instead, this will likely cause your home to sit on the market for longer, causing stress and delays to your moving plans.  Work closely with your real estate agent to ensure that your home is listed at the optimum price for the current market conditions of your area.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate

Textures: TileTile is making a huge comback as it's pretty, versatile, and colorful. Say goodbye to the subway tiles of the last 10 years and hello to textured clay, stone, glass and porcelain tiles that come in a myriad of shapes, colors and finishes.

Patterns: BotanicalsBotanicals are fun and splashy. Wallpaper is making a comeback, so you can add a tropical vibe with a removable jungle leaf. If a wall is too much of a change for you, try a colorful tropical pattern on a wicker sofa.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate

Stripes and PatternsStripes are a classic nautical look, but you don't have to go with navy and white. You can find striped fabric to recover easy chairs or to make pillow for the couch. Give furniture a modern edge by choosing striped fabric in non-traditional colors such as melon and cream or lavender and green.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate

Picking your ColorsIf you're not sure where to start, utilize color tools from paint stores such as Benjamin Moore. You can order samples, or play with color online with the brand's ColorSnap Visualizer. Pick a color family and see how each color looks when used in a room.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate

"The Tiger Walk at Auburn University is one of the most imitated traditions in all of college sports.Each gameday, the Tigers walk from the Athletics Complex down Donahue Drive to Jordan-Hare Stadium. But the team doesn't make the walk alone; they are cheered on by the thousands of Auburn fans who line the street and, in the process, create one of the great scenes in college football. The walk begins two hours before each game.The tradition began in the 1960s when groups of kids would walk up the street to greet the team and get autographs. It has grown to become one of the most treasured of Auburn traditions."For more information on what to expect at Auburn University football games please click here.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opel...

Color: Natural ColorsChoose colors that will go as well together in your home as they do in nature. The right shades of blue and green can be as soothing as gray or beige, but much more contemporary. One way to add interest is to reverse the idea of color on the walls underlined with white trim-pick a creamy color for the walls, and use blue or green paint for the doors and trim.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate

Color: Bright, Bold and HappySummer colors are bright, bold and happy. Think about your favorite fruit in season. The spectacular lavenders and corals of sunrises and sunsets. The saturated greens found in meadows and grasses grew lush from spring rains. The sky, blue as a robin's egg, aolted with pillowy clouds.Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Preferred Real Estate, Best Auburn Realtors, Best Opelika Realtors, Relocate to Auburn, Move to Auburn, Homes for sale in Auburn, Homes for Sale near me, Houses for Sale Opelika, Luxury Homes for Sale Auburn, New Construction Auburn, New Construction Opelikawww.AuburnOpelikaALRealEstate
