FIND YOUR DREAM PROPERTY

Your real estate professional is your best asset when searching for potential homes, but your agent needs certain key information to find the right fit. Knowing what to tell your agent can help you make the most out of this important partnership. Budget. Figure out what you can afford. Think carefully about all the costs of owning a home — not just the down payment and mortgage. Don’t forget about homeowners association fees, maintenance costs, taxes and private mortgage insurance, if you need it. Be honest with yourself and your agent about how much you are willing and able to spend. While not necessary, it’s smart to be preapproved or at least but prequalified for a certain mortgage amount. Time frame. If you’re in a hurry to find a new place, your agent needs to know. If you have plenty of time to search, agents will handle that differently, perhaps sending periodic listings that match your exact wish list. Location. Be prepared to tell your agent where you want to live, being as specific as possible. It may be a larger search, such as a radius around a specific location, it may be a particular town or city, or it may be as specific as a single neighborhood. Also let your agent know if you need to be close to public transportation or in a specific school district. He or she may know of an alternative location that you may not have considered. Type and size. Do you want a single-family home, a condominium, or some other type of property? Size is also an important factor. For example, how many bedrooms and bathrooms do you need? Do you have a certain square footage in mind? Do you want a small yard or acreage? Think about how much space you need and what is right for your lifestyle. Are you planning a large family? Do you want to maintain a large home or piece of land? Wish list. It’s a good idea to create a wish list and rank items from most to least important. You may have a certain style of home that you prefer. Many people want a home that is move-in ready. There may be amenities that are important to you. Some of the most common wish list items include updated kitchens and bathrooms, hardwood floors, open floor plans and big yards. Depending on this list, you might be able to find a home that satisfies all your wants and needs for the right price. But often, buyers need to make tradeoffs. Deal breakers. All homebuyers have certain things they just can’t live with — or without — in a home. Maybe it’s being located next to a busy road or having a driveway on a hill. Or perhaps you must have at least three bedrooms. Whatever your deal breakers might be, tell your agent up front. You’ll save everyone a lot of time and effort.

In the ever-evolving landscape of home design, the incorporation of color has become a prominent trend. However, before embracing a bold palette to revamp your living space, it's essential to consider the impact certain colors may have, particularly when it comes to selling your home. While personal preferences vary, there are colors that, according to experts, can deter potential buyers and hinder your efforts to make a sale. A recent survey conducted by Fixr.com, a leading home remodeling site, shed light on the preferences of home staging and design professionals. It revealed that certain colors have a significant potential to turn off prospective buyers. Topping the list as the most off-putting hue is red, with a staggering 53% of respondents expressing aversion towards it. Following closely are lime green and bright yellow, each also disliked by 53% and 40% of respondents, respectively. Mustard yellow, pink, and turquoise round out the list, albeit with varying degrees of disapproval. The consensus among experts suggests that opting for neutral tones, such as whites and warm neutrals like beiges, is a safer bet when preparing your home for sale. These colors not only create a sense of space but also evoke a feeling of calmness, which can be appealing to potential buyers. Warm neutrals, in particular, have been endorsed by 61% of professionals for their ability to visually expand small areas. White, with its ability to reflect light and create an illusion of height and width, remains a perennial favorite among home stagers. Birgit Anich, from BA Staging & Interiors, emphasizes the importance of using color trends judiciously when selling a property. While staying abreast of the latest design trends is commendable, she cautions against overindulging in bold colors, as they may not resonate with all buyers. Anich advocates for a more moderate approach, where trends are incorporated subtly to appeal to a broader audience.
