Article by JENNIFER KING jennifer.king@albanyherald.com
ituated on a lovely half acre lot in Albany’s Fieldstone subdivision, this week’s featured home showcases an inground pool with a new liner just in time for the hot Georgia summer! With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, this 1,656 square foot home is the perfect family abode. Custom built in 2002, this home was constructed by its owner. There are beautiful moldings throughout, and the house has been lovingly maintained. The front porch is covered, and it
leads to the black front door, which is flanked by windows. Upon entering the home, you first come to the large great room. Wide crown molding in this space and a gas fireplace with a white wood mantle add an elegant touch. To the right of the great room is the tiled kitchen with an adjoining breakfast nook. A number of wood cabinets provide plenty of storage within the kitchen. Light counter tops and light floor tile keep the space feeling open. Sleek stainless steel
appliances add a high-end look. At the rear of the kitchen is a set of French doors leading out to the patio and pool. Just off the kitchen is the dining room, which is currently being utilized as a home office. The master suite is also located adjacent to the kitchen. Inside the master suite there is plenty of living space, a private bathroom, and a walk-in closet. On the opposite side of the home, there are two additional bedrooms, which share a full bath.
In addition to an amazing inground pool surrounded by a privacy fence, this property also offers a sprinkler system, and a storage building. This is a great home in a peaceful subdivision, and it has so many amenities to offer! If you would like more information about this home or to schedule a private tour, please contact Susie Hardin of Albany Realty Company at her office (229) 883-6100 or on her cell (229) 291-3977.

HOW MUCH HOUSE CAN YOU AFFORD?
MORTGAGE RATES
Determining how much “home you can afford” depends on several important factors including: •
You can get a very rough estimate of your affordable home price range by multiplying your annual gross income by 2.5. For example, if your annual gross income is $50,000, you may be able to afford a home worth $125,000 (this varies depending on current interest rates, your debt and credit history.)
•
Your credit can affect your ability to qualify for a mortgage and your mortgage rate. Before you shop for a house or a mortgage, find out what your credit score is by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com or calling (877) 322-8228. Be sure to do this once a year because your score can be negatively affected if pulled too often.
•
Mortgage rates change constantly based on the economic factors that affect the demand for mortgages among investors like Freddie Mac. You can track mortgage rate trends by following Freddie Mac’s Primary Mortgage Market Survey. You will have to make a downpayment of at least 5 percent of the home purchase price to qualify for a mortgage that meets Freddie Mac’s requirements. If you are able to put down 20 percent or more, you can avoid having to pay private mortgage insurance (PMI), reducing your monthly mortgage payment.
•
If you are looking to buy a condominium, keep in mind that rates are typically higher for these loans and you’ll have to budget for the cost of your monthly condominium fee.
•
•
You should consider your current living standards, as well as any future major expenses such as a wedding or college tuition. And, remember - buy what you can comfortably afford today, not five years from now.
•
Remember to factor in the expenses and fees you will incur for a home appraisal, a home inspection and other professional services required to buy a home.
To determine how much you can afford, it is helpful to follow the guidance and key ratios lenders use : Lenders recommend that your mortgage payment (principal, interest, taxes and mortgage insurance) be less than 28 percent of your monthly gross income.
•
Lenders look to see that all your other debts (credit cards, student loans, alimony, child support, car loans and housing expenses) are less than 30-40 percent of your monthly gross income.

5 ways to get buyers to see your open house as their next house
(BPT) - What makes a person or a family decide a home is the perfect for them? Is it all location, location, location? What about price, schools or the neighborhood? Or is it something else; a feeling they get when they walk in the door, a detail they notice or a scent in the air. If you're selling your home your home, your location, neighborhood and school district are predetermined. Yet there is plenty you can do yourself to make sure your open house has that wow factor and captivates would-be buyers. Here are five tips to get you started so that next family will determine your home is the perfect home. * Get clean. It sounds simple, but it's amazing how many homeowners don't clean their homes before an open house. This is one case where lived-in
isn't going to cut it. The kitchen and bathrooms should be spotless, cracked tiles should be repaired and any plumbing issues should be addressed. Expect that people will try the sinks and flush the toilets. If you don't feel you can get your home ready on your own, hire a professional cleaning service to do the job for you. The money you spend on the cleaners will be well worth it when your house sells quickly. * Add a fresh sent to the air. Your home should be pleasing to the eye as well as pleasing to the nose. Realtors have recognized the benefits of great smells for years. You can keep your home smelling great throughout the showing - and without synthetic ingredients - by using pure essential oils from Aura Cacia. Try this simple recipe to create a warm, comforting atmosphere that can help put potential
property buyers at ease with these recipes: 1 cup coarse-grained, chunky sea salt 1 teaspoon jojoba or grapeseed oil (just enough to make the salts glisten) 25 drops vanilla precious essential oil 10 drops lavender essential oil 10 drops sweet orange essential oil Mix salt and oils, pour into a decorative dish or bowl and set out on a table. Placing the crystals in a warm sunny window or near a heat register will help diffuse the delicious aroma throughout the room. Stir in additional essential oils to boost the scent as needed. More recipe ideas and open house tips can be found at www.auracacia.com. * Time for a makeover. If your home needs a more substantial makeover before it can sell, focus your energy and your money on the most important rooms in the home. Kitchens and master bedrooms sell homes, meaning that a granite countertop, new

appliance or fresh coat of bedroom paint will give you a better chance to sell your home than other projects may allow. * Cut the clutter. Even the cleanest homes still feel messy if there's lots of clutter. Before your open house, adopt a minimalist approach and keep your home as clutter-free as possible. Remember, you want buyers to see the beauty of your home, not simply the items you keep in it. * Start at the curb. Poor curb appeal can put buyers off to your home before they even step foot inside. Make sure your home's outside is every bit as beautiful as the inside. Paint the exterior if you need to, plant flowers in the flower bed and mow the lawn. Buyers should never walk up to your front door already thinking it's a fixerupper. An open house provides an excellent opportunity to showcase your home and help buyers fall in love with. And once they do, they're sure to make your current home their future home.

5 projects to recreate your basement (BPT) - Have you ever wished you had more space in your home? Maybe you'd use the space to pursue a hobby, host out-of-town guests or just spread out and get some quiet time to yourself. The space you desire could already be in your home in your basement. If your cellar is nothing but a series of unfinished areas used for storage, you're not getting all the benefits you could be from the space. Making the most of your basement doesn't have to mean costly contractors and expensive remodeling scenarios. Several easy DIY projects that you can take on alone, with the aid of the right tools, can help you gain that extra space you wish for. Ready to get started? Give these projects a try: * Build walls. Adding drywall to your basement has a big impact on the space immediately. Use 2-by-4s to mark where the walls will stand and place studs 16

inches apart. Then nail the panels to the wall where the edges meet the studs and cover the seams with drywall tape. Once the walls are up, mud the seams and areas where nail pops appear. A drywall saw or power saw will help you shape your drywall perfectly, but if you don't own one, you don't have to buy one. It's more cost efficient to simply rent it instead for this onetime project. Your local American Rental Association member rental store will have what you need. Don't forget to add drywall stands to your rental list. * A touch of paint. A fresh coat of paint means you won't have to stare at those drab walls in your new space. You can paint the space by hand, but if you have a large basement and you want to give every room that professional look, rent a paint sprayer instead. The cost is worth the time saved. * Freshen up your floor. If your basement is completely unfinished, you probably have cold, concrete floors. How you improve them is up to you. If you want the polished, marbled look, consider renting concrete floor finishing equipment for a look that's sure to amaze. And if the appearance of hardwood is more your style, laminate flooring panels are inexpensive and easy to install. Lastly, if you want the feel of carpet beneath your feet, don't
forget to add the pad first to make those future steps a pleasure. * Eliminate the stink. Your new basement is coming together, now what can you do about that musty basement smell? A dehumidifier can help. You can purchase one at your local home goods store and when you get it home, try to place it near the washtub sink if your basement has one. This will allow you to drain right into the sink and save you from having to empty the dehumidifier regularly. * Install a sump pump. Now that you've refinished your basement, don't let water damage ruin all your hard work. A sump pump can protect against flooding issues and installing one is easy. Most new homes have a location marked for a sump pump; it will look like a small well. Follow the water pipes in your home and you can find it. Once you do, purchase a sump pump from your local home goods store and follow the easy instructions to install in less than an hour. The extra space you have dreamed of has been with you all along. Transform your basement from barren to beautiful and you'll be creating a space you can enjoy for years to come.
