Prepare HVAC systems for warmer days ahead

BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

The ar rival of a new season can be an exciting time. Homeowners may have renewed vigor to start home renovation projects or even tackle some cleaning and organization tasks.

Before the weather star ts to warm up too much, homeowners may want to evaluate their home cooling needs and ensure that all

equipment is in good working order.

Spring air conditioning inspections and tuneups are essential steps in system per for mance. Homeowners should not take for granted that a system that per for med optimally last year will do so this year when temperatures climb.

Various factors, including weather damage, dust and grime, mechanical wear and tear, and even rodent

or insect infestations, can compromise HVAC systems.

Since HVAC systems have so many moving par ts, a thorough inspection of such systems can save headaches and money down the road.

According to Heating Ontario, the extreme weather conditions that come along with fall and winter can be especially taxing on homes and the systems that keep them comfor table.

During a spring visit, an

HVAC technician will perform maintenance on the air conditioner and make sure it is ready for the heat of summer time. This maintenance may include cleaning the unit, checking controls, calibrating the thermostat, lubricating moving par ts, checking refrigerant levels, tightening electrical connections, and clearing any clogs.

Homeowners are urged to also change the filter at

the start of the cooling season.

Cor r ecting any issues in the HVAC system well in advance of the ar rival of warm weather can help ensure comfor t when air conditioning is needed. As an added advantage, homeowners should install programmable thermostats if they do not already have them to keep cooling as cost- and energy-ef ficient as possible.

re you expanding your family and hunting for a living space that maximizes your options? 3019 Silks Cove may be just for you.

Nestled in The Downs, this charming two-story ranch boasts 1,793 square feet and an open floor plan, ensuring plenty of space for a growing family to bustle around.

The sun-drenched living room, kitchen and dining room all lead into each other, offering an unimpeded flow of movement and abundance of

breathing room.

“I like the open concept (of the first floor),” says homeowner Beth Penrod.

She’s also partial to the living room’s high ceiling, which lends a relaxing tone to the entrance.

The spacious eat-in kitchen features modern appliances, custom cabinetry and plenty of elbow room. The house also includes two first-level bedrooms, a second-level bedroom and two full baths.

“The upstairs was going to be just a loft,” Beth says, “but we changed it into a bedroom, walk-in closet and bathroom.”

The Penrods also saw value in their 2.5-car garage and found a unique solution to accommodating their growing family: They converted their garage into a fourth bedroom.

Beth says that, as their family expanded, they decided that “we liked the area, we didn’t want to move, so we just (converted the garage into a bedroom) ... because we never really parked (our) cars in the garage.”

The quaint backyard, with room for playing and entertaining, offers mature trees, a rose bush and two purple crepe myrtle bushes that bloom around late May and stand very tall. Beth says she

planted the crepe myrtle to give the backyard a sense of privacy.

Prospective buyers would also be only the second owners of this home. Working with Thompson Homes, Beth and her husband, Donnie, had the house built in 1998, and they lived there until moving recently.

“It’s a marvelous house to raise a family in,” Beth says.

And if you’re searching for your own place to settle into, 3019 Silks Cove is an ideal spot to tuck your family in and relax.

Hardscapes can add value to your home O

BY BRANDPOINT

utdoor hardscape projects add resale value to a home as well as bring extra enjoyment to homeowners while they are living in the home, according to the “Remodeling Impact Report: Outdoor Features” by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the National Association of Landscape Professionals (NALP).

The report confirms that investing in landscaping and hardscaping is a win-win, whether you plan to stay in your home or prepare it for market.

“This report validates that

outdoor remodeling and landscaping improvements are a necessity when it comes to improving your home’s resale value,” said Missy Henriksen, NALP vice president of public affairs. “Homeowners working with a landscape professional to embark on renovations — whether that means enhancing their turf and growing a lush lawn, overhauling their entire landscape, or incorporating new features like patios or exterior fireplaces — can rest assured that they are making a smart, worthwhile investment.”

CURB APPEAL

Real estate agents suggest that a home’s first impression is paramount when preparing it for sale. Simple updates such as adding retaining wall units or paving stone edging around gardens add value and curb appeal. More ambitious projects like a front paving stone entrance with patio and a seat wall or two add major curb appeal plus the enjoyment factor from adding a beautiful, functional front yard.

Var ying hardscape colors and textures in the front outdoor living space lends maximum visual appeal.

Hardscapes also can make routine maintenance easier, such as creating a tree ring from retaining wall units and surrounding it with pavers to reduce the need for trimming after mowing.

Making unusable space usable

A family in Maple Grove, Minnesota, had a hill behind their home that sloped down to a pond.

They knew that excavating would be required and contacted Villa Landscapes in St. Paul to help them decide how best to make use of the space.

Saturday, March 31, 2018, Messenger-Inquirer

Devine created a tiered retaining wall design with ample space for perennials and a staggered staircase with landings that feature seat walls for resting.

“The Versa-Lok Standard retaining wall system was perfect for retaining the soil behind the garage when we excavated to create their outdoor living space,” said Lonny Sekeres, a designer with Villa Landscapes. “There are no voids in the units to backfill, and the top-down pinning system made the installation easy. By back-splitting the retaining wall units, we easily created matching freestanding seat walls around the fire feature area too.

Plus, the same unit was used to create columns that provide a base for a pergola while giving a nice definition to the outdoor living space.”

SAFETY AND PRIVACY

PREVENT EROSION

Damage to your property can devalue a home plus create major headaches. Retaining wall systems are essential in preventing erosion, controlling grade changes in a yard, and preventing damage to the landscape, and in certain environments, even damage to your home.

One homeowner in Apple Valley, Minnesota, had a steep, unusable backyard that sloped toward the

Real Estate Inside Out

home’s foundation. Over the years, water damage to the foundation occurred.

“The negative flow caused water damage, a leaky foundation and the accumulation of dirt that had been eroding down the slope for years,” said Paul Devine, owner and principal of Devine Design Hardscapes in

Rosemount, Minnesota. “There was no flat, usable area at the base of the hill, and the client had never been able to grow grass because of constant erosion. The Versa-Lok wall design created a positive flow away from the home’s foundation, steps to the top of the hill, and a flat, usable area for a backyard.”

Seat walls can add a measure of privacy and protection against the elements, and energyefficient landscape lighting can be installed along patios, paver walkways and under retaining wall caps for nighttime ambiance and functionality. Landscape professionals can suggest how adding these and other hardscape elements can increase value and offer measures of safety and privacy.

In the end, investing in your home’s landscape with hardscapes is a long-term win-win, no matter how long you stay in your home or if you are preparing it for sale. Says Henriksen: “Further, that investment is coupled with the immediate happiness received by beautiful landscaping and the long-term enjoyment of outdoor living spaces, which are priceless.”

Buying a home in a seller’s market T

BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

he real estate market can be difficult to navigate for both buyers and sellers. First-time buyers can easily become overwhelmed as they search for homes, while sellers hoping to get the best price for their homes might be frustrated if offers are slow to come in or fall short of their asking prices.

If met with an underwhelming market, many sellers can pull their homes off the market and wait until it becomes more advantageous to sell. But buyers, particularly those shopping in a seller’s market, may not have that flexibility. Buying in a seller’s market can be competitive and frustrating, but buyers can employ various strategies to survive such markets and land the homes of their dreams.

• Get mortgage pre-approval. Sellers’ markets typically feature low inventory, which can make the buying process very competitive. Prospective buyers who do not have a mortgage pre-approval letter in hand when making offers may find themselves losing out on their dream homes to fellow buyers who have gotten pre-approval from a lending institution. Sellers may be impatient with buyers who have not yet been pre-approved for a mortgage, even accepting a lesser offer from buyers who are ready to begin transactions immediately. The pre-approval process is relatively quick and simple, so buyers should not hesitate to apply.

• Stick to your budget. Lenders will indicate to prospective buyers how much they’re willing to lend them, and that figure is typically considerably more than buyers are willing to borrow. In a seller’s market, bidding wars can quickly drive up prices, but buyers should stick to their budgets so they are not house poor after buying. Sticking to a budget can be difficult in a seller’s market, but such patience will likely pay off in the long run.

• Be ready to compromise. Unless they have unlimited budgets, buyers often must compromise when purchasing a home. That’s especially true in a seller’s market with limited inventory. Buyers who need to buy a home must identify their needs versus their wants and recognize the likelihood that they will have to compromise.

• Work with real estate agents. Some buyers may be tempted to go it alone, searching for and ultimately buying homes without the help of real estate agents. That can be a foolish move in a seller’s market where competition is high and inventory quickly disappears from the market.

Veteran real estate agents have worked in buyers’ and sellers’ markets, and buyers can use that experience to their advantage. In addition, real estate agents likely have access to inventory before homes appear on popular real estate websites, giving buyers working with them a leg up in competitive markets.

Use your lawn to improve curb appeal 2. Address brown patches

BY METRO CREATIVE CONNECTION

R

eturns on home improvement projects vary. In its annual Cost vs. Value Report, Remodeling magazine notes the projects that yield the best returns on investment in a given year. But a host of factors, including the type of market (buyers’ or sellers’) and the region where the home is being sold, ultimately combine to determine if homeowners’ investments in home improvement projects will provide the returns they were hoping for.

Though there’s no way of guaranteeing a home improvement project will yield a great return, real estate professionals often cite improving curb appeal as an excellent way to attract prospective buyers and potentially get the asking price or more when selling the home. Improving curb appeal makes even more sense in today’s real estate market, when many people do their own searching via real estate websites such as Trulia or Zillow. When using such sites, buyers will likely be less inclined to click on a listing if exterior photos of the property are not eye-catching.

Various projects, including tending to lawns and gardens, can improve curb appeal. An added benefit to focusing on landscaping to improve curb appeal is it promotes spending time outdoors in spring and summer. In addition, many lawn- and garden-related home improvement projects need not require professional expertise.

1. Maintain a lush green lawn

Lawns that fall into disrepair may not give buyers a correct impression about how homeowners maintained their homes. Lawns with multiple dead spots and grass that appears more brown than green may lead many buyers to assume that the home’s interior was equally ill-cared for. Maintaining lush green lawns is not as difficult as it may seem. Applying fertilizer and aerating at the appropriate times of year (this varies by region) can promote strong roots and healthy soil, making it easier for grass to survive harsh conditions like drought.

When watering in summer, do so in early morning or evening so as little water is lost to evaporation as possible.

3. Confine dogs to certain areas

Dog owners may want to let their pets roam free in their yards. But homeowners about to put their properties up for sale may want to confine their four-legged friends to certain areas. That’s because dog urine can be high in nitrogen. Nitrogen itself is not harmful to lawns, but in high concentrations it can contribute to yellow or brown spots. Also, highly acidic dog urine may even adversely affect pH levels in the soil.

Kristi Nickells Real Estate Agent

MLS# R72918A List price-$114,900

Even well-maintained lawns can fall victims to brown spots. According to the lawn care professionals at TruGreen, lawns in regions with hot temperatures and high humidity can be infected with brown patch, a common lawn disease that is caused by fungus, which can produce circular areas of brown, dead grass surrounded by narrow, dark rings. Penn State’s College of Agricultural Sciences notes that removing dew that collects on grass leaves each morning, which can be accomplished by mowing or dragging a water hose across affected areas, can be an effective way to reduce brown patch.

Homeowners without much lawn care experience can consult professional landscapers to address the issue.

But those looking to sell their properties should note that buyers often walk the grounds of homes they are considering buying. So addressing any issues on the lawn should be a priority for sellers.
