Summertime Selling Tips
Summertime
can be a great season to sell your
house. Why? During these hot months,
your landscaping and outdoor spaces come
alive. Today's buyers are looking for
extended living areas and love usable
outdoor space.
According to HGTV, outdoor spaces
can bring in big bucks. Jon Seppala,
president of Action Builders, notes,
"Backyards and outdoor patios have to be
much more substantial than in the past.
Built-in grills, outdoor fireplaces,
gazebos — people are looking for these
features. We've had people who have
fallen in love with the house and have
decided to buy before they walked in the
front door."
The National Association of Home

Builders (NAHB) has also
identified a trend, noting
during a recent panel that young
homebuyers (Gen Xers) are
looking for homes with a
connection between indoor and
outdoor spaces, even in colder
climates, to create the
perception of greater home size,

Why Own My Home?
A
soft real estate market that is ripe with all
the conditions that should entice people to
purchase a home still has some renters asking,
"Why own my own home?"
Low interest rates, lower home prices and
an improving job market still have some buyers
sitting on the fence fearful of an uncertain
real estate market. Real estate agents and even
sellers are finding that prospective buyers
(current renters) may need a little more
"emotional" attention in these market
conditions. They may need a little more
explanation to ensure that they understand the
benefits of purchasing your home rather than
renting another.
While deciding to own a home or rent one
is very personal, many tend to let fear of the
unknown be the driving force in making their
decision and that can later create an unhappy
decision.
Here are five top reasons to at least
consider owning your own home.
No more landlords: This may be a
highly influential factor depending on a
potential buyer's experiences. Many

Quick Homeowner Updates
It
happens to all homeowners. Rooms that once
looked fresh and contemporary have aged
themselves into drabness.
For some it's an excuse to redecorate. For
others it's a chore. Either way homeownership is
an ever-evolving process. As one project ends,
another peaks its head around the corner.
To bring your rooms current, as well as to
update worn and disheveled items, consider these
five room freshening tips.
1. Paint: Paint is number one on
the list because it is relatively cheap and easy
to do yourself. Getting a professional finish is
simple, thanks to the myriad of products now on
the market for do-it-yourselfers. From tape to
edgers to color changing paint, you're sure to
get a quality finished product. "In" colors
change every few years, so be sure to do some
homework on what hues are happening.
While you're at it, research zero-voc
(volatile organic compound) paint before
starting your project. Traditional paint leaches
fumes into your home for years. Zero-voc paint,
however, exposes you to fewer odors during the
painting process and fewer risky fumes in the
years to come. This is well worth the effort of
searching out zero-voc. Olympic brand paint
offers their full line of colors in zero-voc.
Plus, the cost difference per gallon is minimal.

Make Moving
Fun:
10 Tips for Families
Are
you getting ready for a big move? It can be one of
life's most stressful events. For children this effect
is amplified. It can be intimidating, confusing, and
even scary.
Here are 10 things you can do to make moving fun
for the family.
1. Movie night: Watching one of your
family's favorite movies can make your new house feel
familiar. Order pizza and have root beer floats! Forget
about the day's stresses and enjoy each other's company,
along with a meal that is easy to clean up.
2. Indoor camping: Turn a negative into a
positive. When beds are still packed, camp out on your
living room floor. This can be a great adventure for the
kids. Plus, sleeping in the same space can be reassuring
to young children.
