With the latest innovations, concrete can now be textured with glass inlays, wood, or gold leaf.
Concrete indoors? After years of being sidelined, stoneware and concrete are on the verge of making a comeback in home design. Now available in a huge range of colors, patterns, textures, and formats, these two materials have been brought up to date and are now suitable for a multitude of applications. Stoneware is kind of ceramic made of clay and silica fired at very high temperatures. Highly resistant and available in many different finishes and effects, it is used mainly for good
quality tiling. During the 1980s, manufacturers had the idea of changing its natural color by covering it with enamel coating—this is what we are now seeing in home décor. Stoneware can be made to look like slate, terracotta, floorboards, or oxidized metal. The latest innovation is earthenware wall tiles, which are treated with titanium dioxide at high temperatures to create a photocatalysis effect. This helps the tiles eliminate bacteria and polluting agents generated by heating sources, cigarette
smoke, and urban traffic. In a simultaneous trend, concrete is increasingly indispensable in modern homes as a way to delineate living spaces. Treated with a pigment, it can also be a pretty floor covering used over radiant floor heating systems, as well as in the creation of furniture and counter tops. Concrete can be textured with glass inlays, wood, or with materials such as gold leaf. Surface treatments available include engraving, sanding, grit blasting, or crushing.

ne of the most intimidating considerations homebuyers face is considering a property in need of a new roof. This repair is expensive and labor intensive and may cause potential buyers to move on to other homes. Is your deteriorating roof keeping you from making the sale?
PAGE A7 Friday, March 16, 2018
Is IT In Your BudgeT? of course, the first thing you should ask yourself before investing in a new roof is whether it makes sense to spend money on a home you are planning to sell. If you will be required to take out a home equity loan to make the repair, it will need to be satisfied upon making the sale. It also could affect your credit score. on the other hand, if you have already noticed leaking inside the home, a repair is needed before most buyers will consider making an offer. Leaking roofs lead to damage of other components of a home that can quickly cause you to incur more
A great way to get an idea of the integrity of your roof is to hire a professional inspector. They will give you an informed opinion that will impact your decision to make the repair or adjust your asking price accordingly. Keep in mind, buyers will request their own inspector to analyze the roof, so it’s in your best interest to understand where you stand.

he way people are viewing prospective homes has changed drastically over the years. Today, many buyers are searching for listings online and viewing properties virtually before committing to seeing it in person.
Painting a beautiful portrait of your home will heighten the amount of traffic and interest it garners from those in the market. Consider hiring a local architectural photographer to highlight your home’s image. They will take advantage of differing lighting, styling and perspective techniques that can make the difference between selling your property and remaining on the market. PhoTos ReaCh The Masses a report by the National association of Realtors states that nine out of 10
house hunters searched online during their homebuying process. Fifty-two percent involved in the study chose online research as their first step in the process. In addition to meeting the specifications of the house that is right for them, users heavily rely on a property’s pictures when making the decision to view the home in person. If the images representing your home fail to impress a buyer, the chances of them physically visiting the home drop dramatically. hiring a photographer who is an expert in archi-
tectural images can get a potential buyer through the door. Real-esTaTe PhoTogRaPheR vs. aRChITeCTuRal PhoTogRaPheR While these two groups of professionals each have their place in the realestate world, an architectural photographer is far more involved in staging, approaching and styling your home for the photo shoot. so, what’s the big difference and does it really matter when selling your home?

Power Washing the exterior
b
efore you put your home on the market, it is easy to get lost spending resources and time to ensure the interior of your home is in peak condition.
Don’t forget about curb appeal. Is the exterior of your home just as beautiful as the interior? Power washing the exterior of your home can give great visual advantages to potential buyers. Consider hiring a professional to refresh the exterior of your home and draw people in. Remember, while the interior of your home might be what blows away an interested party, it will be the curb appeal that makes the first impression. Why PoWeR WashIng Is ImPoRtant Did you know that changes in weather can drastically weaken the integrity of your home’s siding? Climates that experience harsh winters are at a greater disadvantage for stains and grime to develop and cause permanent damage. Power washing will eliminate mold and mildew before

siding replacement is necessary. making your exterior shine is an awesome way to entice buyers into a welcoming environment and shows potential buyers how beautiful the home can be. hIRIng a PRofessIonal Deciding to wash your home by hand is not only
time consuming but can be extremely dangerous. Climbing ladders and scrubbing stains that have set in creates serious falling dangers. Instead of putting yourself at risk, contact a local pressure washing professional to safely get your home ready for the market. these impressive machines are much more effective than traditional
scrubbing. the incredible strength of a pressure washer effortlessly removes filth and grime that has attached during changing weather. With this great pressure comes the chance of significantly damaging your siding. a professional will use the techniques needed to perform this job without chipping the surface.

hen selling your home, you will reach a much broader audience by offering a move-in ready property. potential buyers might turn the other way if serious updating and repair work is required. Before placing your home on the market, these simple repairs can turn a big profit and boost the chances of making a quick sale. Fixing Up the Kitchen the kitchen is one of the focal points for homebuyers considering a property. this room is commonly used for entertaining and creating wholesome family memories. A kitchen in impeccable condition will increase the value of your home and grab a buyer’s attention. One of the most common problems in modern kitchens are leaks under the sink. the amount of damage this can cause depends on the seriousness of the issue. however, whenever water is noticed, it is imperative to correct the issue as soon as possible.

first-Time Homeowners
ne of the most exciting experiences in one’s life is purchasing a first home. The overall experience will leave you with a sense of pride but also can introduce drastic changes for which you might not be prepared. Rents are on the rise. By committing to a fixed mortgage, you can ensure you pay the same premium for the duration of the loan. This is a great benefit of home ownership, as rent can increase as soon as a lease is up. TRansiTion fRom RenTeR To owneR while you will experience a new type of freedom once you end a lease and obtain the keys to your first home, there are important differences to remember as you transition into an owner. The cost of owning a home is far more involved that simply paying a mortgage.

property tax and insurances can fluctuate with time. make sure you’re leaving room in your budget to cover these costs when preparing to make an offer. You also might find it helpful to acquire the help of a professional accountant when you file annual income tax returns. owning a house creates drastic changes to how you file, as your interest and
