Budget-Friendly Front Yard Tips For Getting Your Home Ready for Fall Fun or a Fall Listing Date

1. Start at the Front Door Your front door is the welcoming threshhold for friends coming to visit, family visiting over the Holidays or potential Buyers. An easy way to freshen up your front door to give that great first impression is to paint it. The most popular color these days is classic black. Other colors are navy blue, red, yellow andsage green. It all depends on what feel you want your entry way to look. Painting is an improvement that can be made fairly quickly and inexpensively. 2. Consider Function and Style I have found that my front porch is an area for decompressing or relaxing before the day starts or ends. You can create a personality just for your entry way. Add a seating area, plants, fun mementos, colorful pillows or fun accents. I have a cement turtle about to eat a wire sculture of a grass hopper. Of course, the turtle never accoumplishes eating the grasshopper. You know how slow turtles can be. 3. Upgrade the Lighting Lighting plays a dual role—safety and amb...

  Tiz the Season: Is It Time To Make Your Move? Or Just Make Smart Upgrades? I was sitting having coffee the other morning and was asked when the best time is to sell or buy a home. This is not always an easy answer to come up with because it is the time that is best for you and your family.  Typically, when s chool is out and graduations are over, you will see an increase in homes coming onto the market. Students have graduated; weddings are being planned and the busy summer months are here. Many of us find the months between April and June are the peak months. This is because families like to move during this time so the kids aren’t as disrupted while in school. This can mean that home prices may be higher and there will be more competition. While summer is the more popular time to plan a move, many choose other times of the year. People referring to themselves as Empty Nesters or Baby Boomers can be reflecting on their next chapter. Some are considering downsizing, relo...
