BUYING & SELLING

How to save up for your first home Despite challenges, simple changes can help

Owning a home is a dream for people across the globe. Many people save for years before buying their first homes, hoarding every dollar they can with the hopes they can one day become homeowners.

B

ut thanks to factors beyond their control, even the most devoted savers can sometimes feel like their dream of home ownership may never come true. According to the Pew Research Center, American workers’ paychecks are larger than they were 40 years ago, but their purchasing power is essentially the same. Things aren’t much different in Canada, where analysis from Statistics Canada and the Bank of Canada has shown that, since 2015, wage growth in Canada has been weaker than in the United States.

Various challenges can make it difficult to buy a home.

However, some simple strategies can help prospective home buyers build their savings as they move closer to the day when they can call themselves “homeowners.”

Saving enough money to purchase your first home is a worthy effort that can be made easier by employing a few budgetfriendly strategies.

n

n

Determine where your money is going. If you’re finding it hard to grow your savings, audit your monthly expenses to determine where your money is going.

Using exclusively debit or credit cards can simplify this process, as all you need to do is log into your accounts and see how your money was spent over a given period.

If you routinely use cash to pay for items, even just to buy coffee on the way to work, keep a notepad handy so you can jot down each expense. Do this for a month and then examine how you spent your money. Chances are you will see various ways to save, and you can then redirect that money into your savings account.

Become a more savvy grocery shopper. Another great way to save more money is to alter something you already do each month: grocery shopping. If you haven’t already, sign up for discount clubs at your local grocer.

This is a largely effortless way for shoppers, especially those buying food for families, to save considerable amounts of money. Shopping sales at competing grocery stores also can save money.

Dine in more often. The U.S. Department of Agriculture says that Americans spend, on average, 6 percent of their household budgets on food. However, the USDA also notes that Americans spend 5 percent of their disposable income on dining out. If these figures mirror your spending habits, you can nearly cut your food spending in half by dining out less frequently. That might be a sacrifice for foodies, but it can get you that much closer to buying your own home. n

BUYING & SELLING

Teamwork sells homes How agents and sellers can work together Selling a home can be both exciting and stressful. In many cases, homeowners choose to work with real estate agents to facilitate the process of listing, showing and selling their homes.

R

eal estate agents are valuable assets. Local realtor Ashley Blackmore said agents provide services that the average person may not have the time or the experience to handle.

“Working with a real estate agent makes the process easier,” Blackmore said. “We know the contractual process, we know homes in the area, and a well qualified agent is a great source for a wealth of information. Also, realtors usually have a long list of professionals who can help the process from moving, packing, and inspections go smoothly.”

But an agent cannot do his or her job well without some help on the part of the homeowner. “Our clients are not only our teammates on selling the home, but they are our best source of information,” Blackmore said. n

Price the home correctly. Homeowners should trust the agent’s ability to price a home for the market. Everyone wants to get the most money possible, but listing the home for more than it’s worth may cause it to sit unnecessarily for several weeks or months.

“Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices is launching new technology to help with this process,” Blackmore said. “But it’s important for homeowners to track things they’ve done on the home such as remodels and maintenance.” n

n

Market the home. A real estate agent will list the home via a multiple listing service (MLS) on a private website and in newspapers. Homeowners can share the listing via social media and to increase the chances of selling the home.

Be available. Limiting the time an agent can show the house to potential buyers is in no one’s best interest. Sellers

should be ready and willing to open their homes, which is the best way to make a sale.

“You only have one chance to make a good impression, and a lot of our buyers aren’t from the area,” Blackmore said.

“It’s important to accommodate around their availability.”

By working with real estate professionals, homeowners can sell their homes quickly.

n

Make suggested renovations. Agents know which features can make or break a sale. Homeowners should be amenable to certain suggestions, such as neutral paint colors, removing personal effects and clearing clutter.

“We provide cost versus value reports complimentary to all of our clients, and will do walk-throughs with them sometimes years before they are ready to sell,” Blackmore said. “We recommend making changes maintenance-wise and current trend-wise appealing to a potential buyer, but every home is different. I recommend getting a pre-selling inspection.” n

Give recommendations. Real estate is a commissionbased industry, and agents put in long hours and only reap rewards if the house is sold. A homeowner who was satisfied with an agent can then recommend that person to friends or family.

“Selling a home is a great opportunity to get a return on your investment,” Blackmore said. “And turn the page of your life in it for a fresh new start.” n

Tips for showing rental properties Attracting tenants requires tasks, time

R

Real estate can be a lucrative investment that provides income well into retirement.

eal estate investors who rent their properties will have to periodically show them to prospective tenants. But the process of showing a rental property begins before such tenants arrive to look at the home.

Landlords who want to get the best possible return on their real estate investments can consider these tips before showing their properties. n

Work with your existing tenants. If tenants are currently in the property, work with them to ensure the home or apartment is ready to show. Provide advance notice

Landlords willing to go the extra mile when showing rental properties should be able to attract scores of potential tenants.

when you will be showing the property so your current tenants have plenty of time to clean up and make arrangements to be elsewhere when prospective renters show up. Existing tenants likely won’t want the place to be a mess during a showing, but you need to give them time to clean up. n

Four Corners Real Estate Guide

Address any issues before showing the property. Does a screen door need fixing? Does the shower need to be grouted? Address such issues before showing the property. Failure to do so will give prospective renters the impression that you don’t respond to problems promptly, and that may give many second thoughts about becoming your tenant.

Make yourself available. Landlords don’t have to be present at a showing, and some prospective tenants might prefer to see a property with only their realtors present. But landlords should make themselves readily available, answering questions promptly via email, text message or over the phone if they don’t plan to attend showings. This gives potential renters a strong first impression of you as an attentive landlord.

Provide details about the property. If you’re utilizing a real estate agent to show the property, then he or she will no doubt create a listing that highlights various things about the home or apartment. This includes the number of rooms, utilities, parking and other details renters will want to know. If you are showing the property yourself, create such a packet for renters. This makes it easy for them to make a decision, and they’ll likely be impressed by your attention to detail. n

HOME IMPROVEMENT

Tips for finding a home services provider Consider cost, qualifications when choosing a contractor

C

Homeowners who are good with their hands can tackle many minor home improvements on their own. But complicated projects often require the services of professional contractors to ensure the renovations are done right, completed on time and within budget.

hoosing a home services provider requires careful consideration on the part of homeowners. The wrong contractor can cost homeowners time and money, so homeowners must exercise due diligence when vetting contractors before going forward with a home improvement project.

Types of contractors

The Federal Trade Commission notes that the scope of a project may necessitate hiring various types of contractors.

The more complex a project is, the more likely it is that homeowners will need to hire contractors who specialize in certain areas. Understanding the differences between contractors can help homeowners make informed decisions. n

n

n

n

General contractor: General contractors manage home improvement projects. This includes hiring subcontractors and supervising their work. General contractors also secure building permits and schedule inspections.

Specialty contractors: Specialty contractors focus on specific areas of a project. For example, homeowners who are remodeling their kitchens may need new cabinets installed by a contractor who specializes in cabinets and cabinet installation. That contractor is a specialty contractor.

D esigner or design/build contractor: The FTC notes that these contractors both design and build projects.

Architects: Architects design homes as well as any additions or major renovations to homes. Architects are often necessary when projects involve structural changes to existing homes.

Hiring a home services provider is a complicated process that can be made easier by homeowners who do their research and take the decision seriously.

Hiring a home services provider

Once homeowners determine which type of contractor they need, they can they begin researching local professionals. n

n

n

Speak with neighbors, family and friends. Neighbors, family members and friends who have worked with contractors in the past are great resources. Seek recommendations from people you trust, even asking to see completed projects if possible.

Utilize the internet. Websites such as HomeAdvisor and Angie’s List are free of charge and can be great resources when homeowners are looking for contractors. Each site includes reviews of contractors from past customers and contact information for local contractors.

Confirm qualifications. The FTC advises homeowners to confirm contractors’ licensing and qualifications before hiring anyone. Some areas may not require licensing, but many do. Homeowners can contact their local building department or consumer protection agency to determine the licensing requirements for their area. n

No signs of spring?

D

uring the winter, many people stare longingly out of the window dreaming of spring, especially if they aren’t skiing.

When the snow finally melts and the sun is shining, get a jumpstart on spring lawn prep. n

n

n

Apply a preemergent weed killer to get a head start knocking out weeds that can plague the lawn during the growing season. Killing weeds at the roots early on can mean far fewer hassles in spring and summer, and may prevent new generations of weeds from cropping up each year.

Amend the soil so that it is the right consistency — just crumbling when lifting it. Soil that is too muddy after spring thaw can harden and make it difficult for plants to flourish. Speak with representatives at a local lawn and garden center about which types of amendments you can add to the soil to enrich it.

Lawn and garden experts at The Home Depot suggest filling in bare patches of lawn now by mixing a few shovelfuls of soil with grass seed.

Then apply this patch to the bare areas, water, and continue to care for the area until the spot fills in.

Spend a day in the garage or shed tending to the lawn mower and other gardening equipment. Clean tools and make sure everything works, repairing parts as needed.

Give outdoor entertaining spaces a good scrubbing, clearing away dirt and grime that may have accumulated over the winter. Use a leaf blower to blow away any leftover leaves.

Check if the front porch, railings or decking need painting and/or staining.

Tackle these projects when the weather is cooler so everything will be ready for those peak spring days.

While it may be tempting to take a prematurely warm day as a sign that spring is in full force and purchase a bunch of annuals, it’s better to know the last of the possible frost dates (check “The Farmer’s Almanac”); otherwise, you may waste time and money planting flowers or vegetables only to have them zapped by another frosty day.

Think about any annuals you might want to plant in the landscape this year that will complement any existing shrubbery or perennials. Come up with a theme so that the entire yard is cohesive. n
