ORGANIZE YOUR CLUTTERED GARAGE IN 5 SIMPLE STEPS Is your garage cramped and overflowing? If you are tired of dealing with the chaos of a disorganized garage, then it’s time to make your space start working for you. Follow these five easy steps for a clean, orderly space in no time! By Cat Queen

1 MAKE A PLAN Like with any renovation, it’s imperative that you keep a goal in mind before you begin your garage overhaul. What is your purpose for organizing the space? Would you just like a little more room for your car? Do you want to create a functioning work space? Or maybe you need additional storage. It’ll be much easier to effectively organize your cluttered garage once you have a clear purpose. Determine your priorities before moving on to the next step. 2 CHOOSE STORAGE SOLUTIONS It’s possible that your garage simply needs a good organizational overhaul. It’s also possible that you will need to purchase additional or alternative storage solutions. Utility shelving and peg-boards are popular choices for garages and can be picked up inexpensively at most home improvement stores. Overhead storage racks are a spacious alternative to traditional shelving. Bulky or rarely-used items, like holiday decorations or camping equipment, fit nicely on such hanging racks while staying out of sight and off the floor. 3 PURGE

Once you have a good idea of what you’d like your garage to look like, set aside a time to go through everything currently in the space as well as anything you’d like to store there in the future. This may take a while, so give yourself ample time. If possible, empty the space completely. Once it’s cleaned out, you’ll have an easier time deciding what goes back in. One good rule of thumb for minimalizing is this: Aside from tools, seasonal items, and emergency equipment, anything that hasn’t been used in over a year can probably be sold, donated, or trashed.

4 SORT

Everything that remains after you clear out unwanted or unused items can now be sorted into groups. Take a moment to check your plan to make sure you have a space designated for each group; if not, take a minute to re-evaluate. Do you need to add a small space for sporting equipment or craft supplies? Maybe you forgot to factor in a few items in storage? Don’t be afraid to adjust your plan as you go.

5 LABEL & STORE Now that your items are sorted, you can begin the processes of labeling and storing. To effectively maintain your storage system, it’s important that everything not only has a place, but that those places are clearly labeled. Keep in mind that the items you use most often should be the easiest to access. The only trick to keeping the disarray at bay is to make sure everything belongs somewhere. You don’t necessarily need a special storage system just for yard equipment, but do make sure that whatever yard tools you have are kept together in a designated area. The easier it is to find and access items, the easier it will be to maintain the cleanliness of your newly organized garage.

8 Reasons Why Winter is the Best Time to Purchase your New Home By Talaia Whisenant Buying a home in the cooler months may sound unconventional, but it could easily be one of your smartest purchases of the year. You’ve probably heard that spring and summer are the best times to buy a new home. With more | f nf |z mf yY wf ¿ | à f y| f xnwfx | zd mf m|yf |k | d fYy ¿ right? With warmer weather comes lots of competition. After all the price hikes, multiple offers and bidding wars, buyers often strike out! Here are the top 8 reasons to purchase your home during the winter season.

Lower Prices

Sellers are Motivated

Winter is a great time to buy a new home because it has the best deals! Sure there’s less inventory on the market, but there are also less shoppers and homeowners are eager for a sale. A survey conducted by RealtyTrac analyzed the sale of 32 million homes over a 15 year period during colder months. They concluded that on average, buyers paid 2.6 percent below the actual market value at the time for their homes. This means a discount of nearly $7,800 on a home that would typically sell for $300,000! That’s enough to do some decorating, or even small renovation.

There are plenty of reasons a seller may need to put their property on the market during winter. Whether the seller is forced to relocate to a new city, changing jobs, or dealing with zYzbnYx mY d mn ¿ mf f bn b y Yzbf give buyers the upper-hand. It’s also a great opportunity to negotiate prices, which can result in scoring a superb deal. This is great news for buyers, who normally end up saving thousands in the home buying process!

88701.28.13.000.Heckelsberg2_Layout 1 1/6/17 3:21 PM Page 1

There is Less Competition The home buying rush during the spring and summer months can be overwhelming, but by the time winter approaches, most buyers have bought and settled in their new homes. Choosing to purchase your home in the winter means less consumers competing for available homes on the market. Although inventory is plentiful in the spring, buying your home in the winter affords you the opportunity to make the right decisions without facing the exhaustive competition of other buyers. This ultimately drives the price up.

Availability of Vendors

Buyers have more negotiating power

Winter is a slow time for moving companies, so there will be plenty of available vendors to assist you upon purchasing your home. The lack of competition not only gives you the opportunity to get movers at a short notice, but you may also be able to use their services at a discounted price. Some moving companies may even give you a few hours of free service in order to beat out their rivals.

During this time of year, sellers may be motivated to sell fast. For example, he or she may be willing to lower the price along with offering perks and incentives to interested buyers. Deals like these are often scarce in the spring when multiple offers are on the table, and buyers are expected to submit their best bid. Purchasing your home in the winter gives buyers more zfl| nY nzl | f ¿ Yzd bYz df zn fx | w nz | kY | Ä

REALTORS® have Flexible Schedules Spring is the busiest season for agents, and many work 12-15 hour days closing deals for their clients. During these hectic months, agents working with multiple families may not be able to meet with you on demand or Yz f | bYxx Y mf nzlÄ z mf nz f y|z m ¿ m| f f ¿ mf m|yf a nzl m a ndf Yzd Ylfz Y f generally more relaxed with less business. This means more time to assist you in the home buying process, which is especially important if you are a new buyer in need of guidance and education when purchasing your home!

Tax Benefits

There are fewer real estate transactions during mn f n|d¿ Yzd x|Yz |k bf Y f y| f likely to give you a loan, sometimes with special incentives! This scenario means buyers can score better rates, better prices, and better terms when purchasing their homes.

When purchasing a new home, you may be eligible to receive tax credits. There are plenty of great incentives for closing on a home during winter time, especially when tax season rolls around. These tax deductions and credits for property taxes, closing costs, and interest rates offset your taxable earnings, potentially saving you thousands!
