TIMING IS EVERYTHING  S elling your house quickly can be a blessing for many homeowners. But selling before your next house is lined up might be a frightening prospect. Luckily, there are a few easy ways to ensure you're ready to put your house on the market before you place a For Sale sign in the front yard.Carefully consider whether you're ready for your home to sell and discuss your options if it does sell quickly and you're faced with a looming moving deadline. A CRS agent can help you make many of these decisions and give you insight into the real estate market. Are homes like yours selling quickly? Is there a lot of competition on the market? Likewise, look into the types of houses currently for sale. Are listings scarce or are there many to choose from? Is there a variety in house size and price? Assessing the buying aspect can also be important. If your house does sell before you've found another, how quickly will you be able to move? Discuss your expectations of a new house, from which neighborhood you desire to its size and number of rooms. Having specific go als will help you and your REALTOR® find the house that best fits your needs and desires.Even though renting might not be your first choice, find out how much it would cost, and the availability of rentals. Determining whether to buy or sell your house first is never an easy decision. But educating yourself will make the process smoother and not leave you in the dark should your house sell sooner - or later - than you planned.
M ost homeowners have a favorite room in the house ― a room that evokes a certain mood and keeps them wanting more. Much of that mood can come from specific lighting in the house - whether it's bright or dim and carefully designed. But have you ever considered lights with color? In fact, a new home trend known as "Chromatherapy" now turns your ordinary bathtub into a colorful spectrum of light, designed to ease tension and affect moods. This is based on the idea that colored rays affect the body and may even produce a physical reaction. For example, blue soothes, green energizes and red stimulates.Some showers, sinks and bathtubs from manufacturers such as Oceana or Kohler now come equipped with Chromatherapy options, offering a full range of colors that appear and fade as you bathe. A simple touch of the button can start the color sequence. Each color is displayed for a select amount of time, before changing to another hue. If you're thinking of sprucing up your bathroom, think in color. Making small improvements to your home, such as brightening up rooms or enhancing color, might just turn your humdrum bathroom into an inviting sanctuary.
