FOR AN OUNCE OF PREVENTION THEN THINK MAINTENANCE

By Patrick McCarran ~ Real Estate Broker

The rain may have started and it may be wet still but the weather will be worse soon so there is still time to do some deferred maintenance to make sure your home is in tip-top shape. Even if you aren’t planning to sell your home, you should still add these chores to your list to help preserve your home’s value and help avoid major repairs later on.

Walk Around the Outside

Check for any past damage. Look for those sagging, loose and leaking gutters. Now is the right time to clean out the gutters. Is your roof missing any shingles, or if tile are there any slipped out of place, or is there any water damage under the eaves? A common nuisance is foliage growing in and on the roof, such as grass and weeds or an overhanging tree. Check the valleys where the slope of the roof meets, this is a common area where debris forms or birds make a home and will cause leaks. Mother Nature is a formidable force and over time you’re your home will prove no match. Promptly schedule repairs for those items you can’t do yourself.

Walk around your yard as if you were a first-time visitor. What impression does your home make? Be sure to clear away fallen branches and leaves. A great idea is a vegetable garden we have a great climate in the area and it is very rewarding to have food you grew yourself not to mention educational if you have children. Prune shrubs and trees to keep them manageable.

If your irrigation water supply has been off for the winter, turn it back on. Test your automatic sprinkler system or connect your water hose and check for cracks and leaks. Replace old washers or sprinkler heads.

Don’t forget the backyard! Is it time to condition your deck? Be sure to hammer in any loose nails, or replace them with galvanized deck screws. Replace any broken boards or rails. Consider renting a power washer to clean dirt and mildew from the wood, and then apply an all-weather sealer or stain. Cover and protect that patio furniture from the weather.

Check your fences and repair any broken fence boards to protect from future storms. If you have good neighbor fences you may add a small board at the base to make sure the board don’t fall out during the next wind storm. It is a good idea to stain your fences once a year to extend the life of your fence. If you are just moving in what a great time to get started. Clean the pool if it has been covered all winter. Wash windows, screens and windowsills; repair any past damage.

Take A Tour Inside

The first step in any successful endeavor is to make a list. Start by going around to each room and make a list of things to do in each room. Then dive in. Dust walls and ceilings to remove cobwebs and wash any grimy areas, don’t forget the ceiling fans. Wash window curtains or remove drapes for dry cleaning, dust the blinds. Deep clean rugs and carpets. Dust and polish wood or laminate floors. Don’t forget the kitchen cabinets with a little maintenance such as Old English can really extend the life of your cabinets and give the whole room a fresh look. Check the central air-conditioning unit for debris and obstructions it is important to have good air flow for maximum efficiency and to prolong the life of the unit. Vacuum the main condenser coil on top of the unit. Check the operating condition of window air-conditioning units; remove

and wash filters in mild soapy water. Make sure all exhaust fans and vents are clean and clear. Don’t forget to remove the lint buildup from the clothes dryer vent.

One often-overlooked area is the fireplace. Be sure to sweep ashes carefully into your fireplace’s ash pit or into a dustpan. If you used it frequently then you may want to call a professional chimney sweep to have it cleaned and lower risk of fire. Clean and lightly oil fireplace tools.

Look around for clutter. Are there items you don’t use any longer? If you are planning on moving, what items will you not need? Consider having a garage sale and then either donate or trash the remaining items.

And lastly, possibly the most important of all, don’t forget to replace batteries in smoke and carbon monoxide detectors even if they are not dead put some fresh ones in (and remember to recycle the old ones). You may have missed it this year but in the future plan to change them when you change your clock for daylight savings.

Although performing these chores may be dreaded task, they go a long way in maintaining and even enhancing the attractiveness and quality your home and save this list for the spring, it will go quicker if have started now.

GOT A JOB? HIRE A REALTOR, GET A HOME!

Today, watching the financial news, the big topic was recession. This began as some large corporations began announcing planned future layoffs. A classic recession is often ended with a significant increase in the unemployment rate. To this date (January 24, 2023), the unemployment rate is significantly lower than 4% nationwide. In many areas it remains lower than the average.

This data underlies the basic question, ‘How confident are you to keep your income stream if a recession shows up?’ This is different than the inflation we have experienced for the past year. In fact, if there is a recession, it is likely that prices will decline. This includes home prices. Despite the recent slow decline in housing prices, they have remained very sticky, not declining as if we are actually in a recession.

What is being suggested is that we may see housing prices continue to decrease, interest rates also decline and overall affordability making housing much more approachable.

The risk, of course, is that it is difficult to predict if your income stream will survive if a recession does come to occur. While only you may know better than any advisor, having someone to talk with can help. This is why today is a particularly good time to bounce ideas off an expert in the business. A competent and trustworthy realtor is not necessarily looking to sell a home on your first contact. You will be able to have a very detailed discussion about your essential needs. It is better for a realtor to have you be certain that you are getting exactly (or as close as possible) what you need. The success of finding your new home will be a team effort with everyone getting what they need. If you feel like you are being pushed into something that you

do not feel confident, try to assess if the aims of the realtor are shared with you or are on a different agenda.

An aside (for what it is worth). Over the years, I have purchased properties while I was not working. I did it without fear, possibly not considering the potential downside, but went through it without fear. Each time, my family benefitted from these actions and as a result we were able to live a better quality of life. To be sure, not everyone has the psyche to do such a thing, but you can be sure that it can be done. Purchasing a home is often the biggest financial transaction of your life. I encourage you to take advantage of the potential of the opportunity that is coming. The time is now. Give use a call at 925-382-9771.

What are some of the perks of doing a Virtual Real Estate Open House?

Without a doubt, virtual open houses lead to greater opportunities to connect with your prospects or leads because of three main reasons:

• It expands your reach: Virtual open houses no longer just serve the needs of locals who come to see the home in-person. Hosting open houses online means that your videos can be viewed without limitations of time or space. All it takes is a link to be shared out for another opportunity to be created.

• You can offer the convenience of anytime, anywhere: You can save you and your buyers time from having to travel and coordinate schedules to meet. Virtual tours are viewable until the day the property closes escrow.

• Buyers will want the option: Not everyone is interested in commuting to see a house in person for the first time. Occasionally, buyers will be more interested to vet a potential investment by first scanning it online. Whether or not social distancing enforcements are making it mandatory for you to only conduct virtual tours or not, having these be a part of your practice can help you filter out non-serious leads as it encourages only serious buyers to approach for further information.
