Top 5 Ways Owning A Home Benefits YOU!!

There are certain cases where renting is a necessity for the individual or family. On the other hand there are many people that are renting when they could be paying a mortgage instead. Individuals that rent can be surprised at how much less they would have to spend per month on a home they are buying rather than renting.

This brings us to benefit #1 of home ownership: Your money goes toward YOUR home and not to pay for someone else’s. This helps your credit and your home will produce equity for you for the future.

Benefit #2 of owning a home is tax benefits. The interest paid on a mortgage and most of the property taxes are deductible. Consulting a tax professional to guide you on this would be a wise thing to do.

Benefit #3 of owning versus renting you can customize the home however you like without having to get permission first or be denied because the homeowner won’t allow it.

Benefit #4 are the feelings of stability and comfort you have knowing that the home you are in is yours and that you have this place to come to everyday. Owning a home is a something to be PROUD of.

Benefit #5 of owning a home is having a solid investment. The value of your home will increase with every passing year unlike a vehicle that losses value almost immediately.

Selling Your Home This Season

So, Fall is here and you're ready to sell?  Fall is the shortest selling season of the year, with the holidays as your deadline. But the good news is, fall buyers are serious buyers – so chances are you could get your house sold faster.  Now that you know serious buyers are coming your way….here are tips to grab their attention.

 

Curb Appeal – Landscaping is key to attracting attention

   Keep the lawn mowed, seed and fertilize if necessary.

  Rake the leaves.

 Trim trees and prune the bushes.

Plant a few fall annuals like mums to add color to your landscape, if not make sure you clear out any dead or dried up flowers that may remain from the summer.

 

Exterior – Appearance and Upkeep
 

   Clean the gutters.

   Repaint trim or house if needed

   Keep patio and backyard clutter free and inviting.

   Hang an attractive fall themed wreath on your door.

   Put out a seasonal door mat to welcome buyers.

 

Interior - Bring Autumn in.

 

   Keep the house a comfortable warm temperature. Cold is uninviting   to your buyers.

  During the fall, it will get cool enough to open the windows and freshen up the house.

   Keep adequate artificial light in every room, because your house may be shown later in the day or early evening - remember it's getting dark earlier now.

   Bring in a few logs to stack by the fireplace – accenting your fireplace.

   Avoid scary decorations for Halloween focus instead on the fall.

  Use squash, baby pumpkins, acorns and pine cones to accent around the house or porch. Bring in fall colors with a vase of dried branches or leaves and fall colored flowers.

 

Paying attention to the demands of the season can help you add that special touch that may make all the difference.

State Wide Realty Tips:
Decorating For Fall 

 

Now that the air has started to get cooler and you can smell the pumpkin spice everywhere you go, it is time to decorate for Fall. Here are a few things you can do to get the Fall feel without breaking the bank.

Let nature be your guide. One of the best things about Fall are the beautiful colors that you can find in the things around you. The leaves provide gorgeous hues of reds, oranges, and yellows that can be used to decorate wreaths, tables, bowls, you name it. You can use nuts, berries and branches to accent your décor as well.

The vegetables that are available during the Fall harvest season are not only delicious but can be used for decoration as well. Pumpkins and other types of gourds can be used inside and outside due to the sizes, shapes and colors available. Be creative by painting your pumpkins a pattern or placing them in an arrangement. Corn is another vegetable that can be used to decorate with. The kernels make a nice addition to jars or vases to add color and interest. Corn in the husks can be hung on the door or arranged on a table for very little cost.

Getting your home ready for the season with the natural bounty is a great way to achieve a beautiful look without spending a lot of money.
