Ringing in the New Year! Brought to you by – Peter Benedetto Interior designer, Tuscany Fine Furnishings
N
ow that your holiday decorations are packed away you may be considering bringing a fresh look to your home! Many of my clients find this to be an overwhelming process, however with guidance and an open mind the challenge is easily overcome. Sometimes a simple shuffle of your existing furniture and a fresh coat of paint on the walls is all that is required to bring about the desired change. Replacing the worn out sofa with a new, but equally comfortable family favorite is sure to wake up a tired room! Think about replacing the recliner you were never thrilled about with an inviting chair and ottoman. Donating gently worn furniture is always appreciated and alleviates a bit of the guilt that can come with wanting to replace it with something new. It doesn’t take long for a space to become cluttered with unnecessary things accumulated over time. A quick assessment and a simple purge opens the opportunity for creativity in looking at the space. Maybe it’s time to pull up the wall to wall carpeting that boasts of the family’s traffic pattern. Replacing it with hardwood floors and area rugs will immediately transform any room. Fine rugs are beautiful enhancements, I like to refer to them as floor art. New accessories should be placed and considered as an embellishment to your existing decor rather than a distraction or place holder. When in doubt is best to wait for the perfect object of art. Don’t discard your classic lamps they can be instantly updated with new shades, consider changing the shape, color and texture when selecting a new shade. Wall coverings have made a welcomed return to the well appointed home, making a perfect addition to the powder room walls. Subtle patterns and textured papers will create a beautiful ambiance to your dinning room walls. Whether you choose to do a major renovation or just spruce things up a bit, take the time to become inspired, seek professional guidance and always enjoy the process!

Buying a home this winter Brought to you by – BILL RAWLINGS Senior Vice President & Managing Broker, North Atlanta Office Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty Without nearly the same level of competiRAWLINGS tion as the spring, winter months typically fare better for savvy home buyers. Since lockdowns occurred during the spring of 2020, the regular seasonal market frenzy was delayed several months; thus, a seller’s market is likely to transpire this winter. With low real estate inventory, high prices and intense bidding wars, the following tactics will prove beneficial during your winter house hunt. 1. Secure your financing Oftentimes, buyers may not align their financing until they find a home they’d like to purchase. With an increase in competition, waiting on pre-approval for a mortgage could cause these individuals to miss out on a property they love. Before you begin the home search, ensure you receive pre-approval for a mortgage and analyze your finances to deduce what you can afford. Another benefit of securing finances in advance is that you can secure an extremely low interest rate, allowing you to buy a more expensive home. 2. Know what you’re looking for Before searching for or touring homes, make a list of your must-haves! Perhaps your needs have changed and you require more space for working from home and general living areas. When you have your essential list, contact one of our phenomenal REALTORS® at Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty. As experts in the Metro Atlanta area, they will quickly find exactly what you’re looking for and guide you through the closing process. 3. Tour virtually first 2020 changed how many industries conduct business, including real estate. While agents have varying levels of restrictions regarding showings, open houses, etc., many REALTORS® are embracing technology to provide home tours via Zoom and FaceTime. These options also allow you to ask questions in real-time, so you can narrow down your home search virtually first and then visit your favorite properties in person. 4. Don’t procrastinate making an offer According to a Realtor.com report, there were 40% fewer homes on the market in September 2020 than during the same month in 2019. Low inventory levels plus
a sharp increase in buyer demand create a wildly competitive market landscape. If you find a home you want to buy, don’t procrastinate making an offer because another buyer could insert an offer of their own! 5. Make your offer stand out Once you make an offer, you want to ensure it stands out from the rest. Cash offers and inspection waivers are two strategies that can make your offer more appealing. If you’re financially able, cash offers are attractive because they can speed up closings and eliminate dealing with a mortgage lender. Inspection waivers can be risky because they remove repair negotiations; however, they can help you close faster. Having a top-notch agent who possesses invaluable industry knowledge can also be a vital factor in the negotiation process. With an atypical, frenzied winter real estate season, buyers need to adapt their tactics based on market trends. If you require expert assistance for your home buying search or any other real estate needs, please contact Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty at 770.442.7300. We would be happy to assist you!

Remodeling in 2021? Brought to you by – Dan Griffin Keller Williams First Atlanta What is the Cost vs. Value? We have all read that our homes are more important than they ever were in these GRIFFIN days of the pandemic. We not only “live” at home, many are home for school, work, recreation and fitness. The home improvement stores are one segment of the retail world that is thriving. If we are spending more time at home, we might as well make it the best place possible! A common question we as Realtors get from homeowners is, “What improvements result in the best returnon-investment when selling?” Even if there is no immediate plan to sell, homeowners want to know that the money they are spending to remodel the kitchen or baths will add value when selling. An excellent source of data available related to this decision is Remodeling-Cost vs. Value Report provided by Remodeling Magazine. This is an annual report for the country,

A common question we as Realtors get from homeowners is, “What improvements result in the best return-oninvestment when selling?” region and Atlanta, which shows popular improvements and the value they contribute to the home, if sold. So, if a kitchen is updated this report will show what the average cost is (low, medium and high), and the percentage return for this work. For example, in Atlanta the average cost for a deck addition is $13,955. Resale value would be $10,143, which is 72.7% of the cost recouped. Of course, the more recent the work, the higher value of the improvement. Before starting any remodeling in this new year, check the Remodeling-Cost vs. Value Report.

The empty nester’s guide to home improvement Brought to you by — Remodeling Expo Center The kids have graduated college, the weddings are paid for, and it’s time for you to enjoy your golden years. Unfortunately, you may have also realized that “downsizing” has become more expensive than keeping your existing house! ”Not simply accounting for the transactional costs of moving, but the terrible reality of the present housing market, is that newer small homes cost more than your larger home” says John Hogan president of Remodeling Expo Center. John continued, “an increasingly large number of our customers are empty nesters, and they’re all adapting their 1980’s or 1990’s-built home to become more current and appropriate for their later years. The present interest rate environment is fueling the rapid growth in remodeling in the form of the cash-out refi”. These are the most common empty nester remodeling projects in North Atlanta. Kitchen Upgrade. Adapting the kitchen for more occasions, and more people, kids plus grandchildren. Frequently improving circulation by incorporating an island with an eating area for grandchildren is a common goal. Improving accessibility of cabinets with roll-out drawers and improving storage are almost always included. Flooring and Stairs. A highly desirable upgrade is the front entry to the home because it’s the first this you see when entering the house. Removing aged carpet runners on stairs, replacing white pickets with black metal on stairs, and re-staining hardwood floors from the 1980’s honey color to one which is darker, are all common changes made
by empty nesters. Master Bathroom. Empty nesters are very focused on, not only improving the “feel” of their bathroom, but also safety aspects. “Fortunately, there are a wide range of products that incorporated safe, non-slip surfaces that also look fabulous” says Brittany Lingerfelt, head designer at Remodeling Expo Center. Grab bars, frameless glass, level entry showers, and therapeutic tubs are all common requests. Value Preservation. Empty nesters are increasing young at heart, and just because the kids are out of the house, doesn’t mean they’re not focusing on value and return on investment. “This is where we can offer significant consultation”, says John Hogan, “We understand our customers and they rely on us for honest advice. For more information of how to improve the value of your home, contact The Remodeling Expo Center at 404 910-3969 or stop in at 48 King Street, Roswell, GA 30075. www.RemodelingExpo.com.
