FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYER? Hereʼs Help Getting Started Buying a home is always an exciting process, but naturally it can be a bit overwhelming. And when youʼre a first time buyer, learning the ropes for the first time, the process can be even more stressful and seem even more complicated. Figuring out your down payment, shopping around for and obtaining the best interest rate, deciding exactly which house you want and moving quickly on it, are all noneto-easy tasks. However, take a deep breath, and follow these simple tips to help get you started.

Conduct research.

Run the numbers.

Even if you are working with a realtor, check out new listings and spread the word throughout your friends and professional network. You never know who might be about to list a home, and you can jump on it before it even hits the market.

Understand how much home you can afford to buy and whether home ownership might preclude you from addressing other important financial issues in your life, like paying off debt or paying for other pressing needs. A financial planner can help you understand how your housing choices can support your overall financial plan.

Start the mortgage process/correct credit report mistakes.

If you have not done so in a while, go online a request your free copy of your credit report through your bank or various other free websites. It’s important to know your credit score and correct any errors on the report before you start the mortgage process. Your credit score and report will directly influence the terms of your mortgage and could affect which house you’re able to buy.

Creative Living 62 Fullsize.indd 5

Keep your emotions in check.

Even with limited supply, there are a lot of houses out there. Be careful not to blow through your budget, get caught in a bidding war, or buy more home than you need. And even worse, you don’t want to put yourself in a position where you own two homes.

Follow these tips and you’ll be well prepared to start your search and buy your first home. And you’ll do it all with the savvy and confidence of an experienced home buyer.

MAKING T H E M O ST OUT OF YO U R S M A L L YA R D With the warmer months almost upon us, now is the time to start planning and making improvements to your yard or outdoor space.

But if you have a smaller yard, you might feel there isn’t much that can be done with it. This isn’t true!

There are lots of things that can be done with a smaller space. But keep in mind, when designing a small space, it is important to focus your ideas and plan. This plan should include which elements you’d like to incorporate into your yard. Consider the following items.

Creative Living 62 Fullsize.indd 1

1/24/20 11:01 AM

Functional furniture A backyard is going to need furniture.

Utilizing built-in furniture will accomplish that need, while also saving space. You can even dress up your built-in furniture with colorful cushions that can be tied to decor inside your home, as an attempt to expand your space.

Set the tone Create the vibe you are craving in your yard with well thought-out zones. This can be done with well-placed benches to create hard angles or other accent furniture to give the appearance of different rooms. The strategic placement of your outdoor furniture, and in turn, outdoor rooms, will transform your small backyard into an intimate retreat.

Choose one large focal point A small space will not be able to accommodate multiple large objects. Be selective in your design plans and decide on one large item to include in your design. Once you decide on that larger item, whether that be a small pool, fire pit or dining table, the rest of the planning will fall into place.

If you choose a pool, draw guest’s attention with a luxurious pool liner or wow them with your creative poolside seating arrangement.

Determine the placement of your focal point based on the layout of your backyard.

Typically, this will lead to the center of your yard or wherever the most natural path to a threshold occurs.

Creative Living 62 Fullsize.indd 2

Add features and plants A beautiful statue, a grouping of plants, a water feature, or small, in-ground pool may take the attention away from the size of your yard and allow your guests to focus on the beauty instead.

Whether you have a green thumb or are just looking to incorporate a few florals, consider doing it vertically. Hanging baskets, creeping vines, and petite patio trees are all great options to add greenery to your yard. Utilizing the vertical space in your smaller yard will save you space, while also bringing the style.

By following these tips, you’ll have your small yard our outdoor space feeling like a sprawling oasis in no time.

tips for

FINDING THE

PERFECT

HOME YOU for

Buying a home is a major financial and life commitment that you’ll be living with for the foreseeable future. While that can sound a little daunting, being aware of this, and zeroing in on what exactly you need in a home can make the process a lot less stressful.

The first step is to define what the “perfect” home is to you. Start by making a list of your “must-haves,” “would likes” and what would be nice, but not necessary. If you’re buying with a partner, make sure you compare lists to further parse them down. In addition to your lists, you’ll also need to ask yourself some questions, such as:

Creative Living 62 Fullsize.indd 6

1/24/20 11:01 AM

WHAT CAN YOU REALLY AFFORD? Before scouring the market for your ideal property, you need to know what you can afford. By getting pre-approved for a mortgage first, you’ll know exactly how much you can borrow. Your budget should also allow you to put funds aside each month for emergency maintenance.

Lastly, think about any potential changes to your income you may face in the next 5-10 years, how they could affect your ability to make payments, and whether there are any safeguards you can put in place.

WHAT LOCATION? It’s not uncommon for buyers to find their perfect home, only to discover too late that the area it’s in is far from ideal. Take note of what you like about your current neighborhood and what you would change and keep this in mind. Take the time to explore the two-mile radius surrounding the property. Drive around in the daytime and at night to get a feel for it. Test out your rush hour commute to work as well. And even if you don’t have children, the school district is important for a future sale.

HAVE YOU DONE HOMEWORK? Carrying out thorough research on a property and area before you buy can take time and money, but the benefits far outweigh the cost. Look at general property values in the local area and study how they have changed recently. This will help you decide whether the asking price is fair.

A professional home inspection will cost a few hundred dollars but could end up saving you thousands in the long run. If they find any potential issues with the home, you can request the seller makes repairs on the property or use it as a bargaining tool to lower the price.

ARE YOU BUYING FOR TOMORROW? A perfect home isn’t just for now, so visualize whether you can see yourself living and growing there. You also need to look for the potential in the property if you decide to expand or refurbish parts of it. You might not be planning to do this anytime soon, but it’s important to know you’ll have the option later.

Ask yourself these questions, and remember, the perfect home is one you build yourself. Don’t worry about minor issues or details, there are always things that can be changed or different.

And working on these things will really make your house a home.

DESIGNING THE

P E R F EC T

OUTDOOR KITCHEN

Spring is right around the corner, so now is a perfect time to start planning the outdoor kitchen you’ve always dreamed of. If you love cooking and entertaining outdoors, you’re in luck. With these following tips and the help from your local outdoor design company, your outdoor kitchen will be in full swing by summer.

START FROM THE GROUND UP

A show-stopping outdoor kitchen needs a quality stage that can stand up to heavy foot traffic and everyday kitchen mishaps such as dropped utensils or spilled sauces. High-performance, woodalternative decking is durable and easy-to-maintain – just a simple soap and water cleaning can take care of any common party foul. It delivers the natural aesthetic of wood without the back-breaking and time-consuming upkeep, so outdoor chefs can focus on what they love most – preparing delicious meals.

FACTOR IN FUNCTION

Plan for adequate storage to eliminate back-andforth trips inside your house. From pull-out trash bins to hidden ice chests for chilled drinks, find cabinetry that provides indoor convenience outside.

You can even get customized cabinets for televisions and entertainment systems.

SHINE SOME LIGHT

Double the time spent enjoying your outdoor kitchen by installing adequate lighting for cooking and entertaining well after sundown. For safety measures, put task lighting over countertops used for slicing and dicing, as well as near stovetops and other appliances that use heat or flame. To set an understated, sophisticated mood, add ambient lighting where your family and guests will wine and dine.

THINK BEYOND THE GRILL

While outdoor cooking once meant a basic grill and a bag of charcoal, today’s outdoor kitchens are more elaborate and equipped than ever, featuring a range of appliances including professional-grade cooktops, refrigerators, sinks and dishwashers, as well as specialty features like brick ovens and fully stocked bars. Grills, too, have been upgraded to handle more than steaks and burgers – think whole turkeys, smoked meats and rotisseries. Your appliances will determine the outdoor kitchen dimensions, so consider how the appliances you want will fit within your design.

CREATE COMFORT

To welcome and accommodate your guests, your outdoor kitchen should be inviting and have ample seating and bar areas. For added comfort, integrate interior-inspired accents like decorative cushions and pillows made of weather-resistant materials. Additionally, your outdoor kitchen should incorporate enough counter space not only for food prep and serving, but also for creating a communal environment so guests can chat with the chef.

By working with the professionals and using these tips for inspiration, you’ll be hosting an awesome outside soirée as soon as the weather turns warm.

Home Inspections: ARE THESE DEAL BREAKERS?

Creative Living 62 Fullsize.indd 3

1/24/20 11:01 AM

After making an offer on a home, you’ll enter a contract, part of which should always include getting a home inspection from a licensed professional. It is recommended that any homebuyer make an offer to purchase contingent upon a home inspection that allows you to withdraw your offer if there are any major issues discovered during an inspection.

More than likely, the home inspector will find problems that need to be fixed before closing. Major foundation issues and significant water damage are at the top of the list of signs to walk away from.

On the other hand, there are some home defects found during an inspection that don’t have to be deal-breakers. Many of them can be fixed, and they can be used to negotiate with the seller for a lower price point or additional help with the closing costs.

Lead-Based Paint

Mold

Lead-based paint was banned in 1978, but it’s still possible that you could purchase a home that contains it if it was built before the ban. The sellers should disclose this, but the home inspector may find it, as well.

It doesn’t have to be a deal-breaker: you can hire a contractor who is certified to remove lead-based paint, and the home will be completely safe.

Mold is something that no one ever wants to see in a home you put an offer on, but a little bit of mold by the shower doesn’t mean you need to back out of your offer—at least not immediately. If mold is found during the home inspection, have a qualified mold inspector look at it to determine if it is a deal breaker.

Concrete Floor Cracks Cracks in a concrete basement floor may seem like a structural problem, but this is natural and not indicative of significant damage. Small cracks occur in concrete because it’s a porous substance. These cracks can be fixed at a relatively low cost and shouldn’t be a reason for you to back out of a contract. Cracks in concrete walls, however, should give pause for concern.

Creative Living 62 Fullsize.indd 4

When problems arise during home inspections, it doesn’t always mean you have to back out of your contract. Home inspectors will often find problems outside of their scope of expertise, so always get a second opinion from a specialist before making a final decision. In many instances, these problems are opportunities to negotiate with the seller. You can request that the seller do the repairs or ask for money to put towards repairs. Either way, hiring a licensed home inspector will put your mind at ease and help you make your final decision on a home.
