You can add value to your home without knocking down walls or ripping up flooring. Sprucing up the little details can have a big impact—but it doesn’t cost thousands of dollars or disrupt your life.

Smart Home Upgrades:
Add value to your home by making some of your home features smarter. Try upgrading your thermostat so you (or the new owner) can regulate your home’s temperature from a phone or smart device. Depending on how old your system is and the type of thermostat you buy, the smart thermostat will simply plug into the existing heating and cooling system.

While the decorating trends for 2023 are a varied bunch, they all have the potential to bring a sense of beauty, comfort, and style to your home.

Statement Lighting:
Traditional pendant lights will be traded for oversized light fixtures in interesting shapes that act more like overhead works of art. This type of statement lighting will serve as a focal point for the room and will be seen in unique natural materials such as rattan, clay, ceramic and earthenware fixtures.

You have questions? We have answers!

In sellers’ markets, increasing demand for homes drives up prices. Here are some of the drivers of demand:

Economic factors – the local labor market heats up, bringing an inflow of new residents and pushing up home prices before more inventory can be built.

Interest rates trending downward – improves home affordability, creating more buyer interest, particularly for first time home buyers who can afford bigger homes as the cost of money goes lower.

A short-term spike in interest rates - may compel “on the fence” buyers to make a purchase if they believe the upward trend will continue. Buyers want to make a move before their purchasing power (the amount they can borrow) gets eroded.

Low inventory - fewer homes on the market because of a lack of new construction. Prices for existing homes may go up because there are fewer units available.

Front Door: Even though it’s not getting as big of an ROI (return on investment) as it was before, replacing a wood front door with a steel one still has lots of benefits. Besides added curb appeal, steel doors last much longer than conventional wood doors and don’t run the risk of cracking or splintering over time. They also help insulate your house, which saves on heating and cooling costs.

The days of using one metal finish everywhere in the home are gone. Rather, it’s now very common to mix and match metal finishes – not only in the kitchen and bathroom — but throughout the home on surfaces like doorknobs, curtain rods, light fixtures, hinges, and more.

Whether you’re going for a chic, modern, timeless, or classic look, mixing metals adds visual interest to your home and is a look that will last through 2023 and beyond!

You have questions? We have answers!

How long does it take to buy a home?

From start (searching online) to finish (closing escrow), buying a home takes about 10 to 12 weeks. Once a home is selected and the offer is accepted, the average time to complete the escrow period on a home is 30 to 45 days (under normal market conditions). Though, well-prepared home buyers who pay cash have been known to purchase properties faster than that.

Market conditions are a major factor in how fast homes are sold. In hot markets with a lot of sales activity, buying a home may take a little longer than normal. That’s because several parties involved in the transaction get behind when business suddenly picks up. For example, a spike in home sales increases the demand for property appraisals and home inspections, yet there will be no increase in the number of appraisers and inspectors available to do the work. Lender turn-around times for loan underwriting can also slow down. If each party involved in a deal takes a day or two longer to get their work done, the entire process gets extended.

Transitional:
Our homes are continually undergoing inner transformations as our style changes. But now this dynamic “in between style” has become a style in its own right. The transitional interior design style is the ultimate mix between present and past favorites or classic and contemporary style.

New light fixtures don’t have to be super fancy—replace with a more modern-looking chandelier for your dining room or a nice hanging light for your kitchen. This not only makes your house more appealing but could also potentially save a buyer money in energy costs. It’s time to illuminate the possibilities!
