Whether you have a new or existing home the task of designing and specifying window treatments can be daunting. The first step is to identify the two types of window treatments you may need; HARD- the functional window coverings such as blinds and SOFT- these are the decorative treatments made out of fabric. While common window coverings can work for just about any window style or size, unique treatments can be the most captivating. Designs that creatively use everyday materials in unexpected ways can make a huge impact on the look of a room. Steven Souza at Window Works in Swansea, MA is a master craftsman when it comes to window treatment for your home. For over 25 years

he has been providing homes and businesses in Southern New England with award winning products and services. “Advances in technology and design today offer consumers so much more to choose from and at very affordable prices. Professionally installed window treatments provide lasting solutions to beautify your home and ad value to your property as well,” said Steve. One way to add pattern to a room is at the windows. This is typically done with fabric, whether it’s voluminous swaths of drapery or tailored, functional shades. Both are excellent options, but there are other possibilities as well. Wooden blinds have become a very popular product in our line and they create a wonder-

ful ambience in any room and offer complete privacy as well. Window Works provides design consultants that will come to your home to advise you on what works best for each individual application and will handle measuring and samples of various styles and colors to suit your needs. Steve said, “ We take pride in our award winning service and products and fully guarantee all products and installations. We do not hire sub-contractors; our technicians install all our products only. I think the most common misconception that people have today is that the big box stores must be less expensive. The truth is you can have professional in home service and installation of window treatments and spend
about the same amount.” In our homes and businesses today window treatments provide us with function, design and style that make a very clear statement about the look and feel of the space we both live and work in. Great looking windows ad value and marketability to property and can be a huge advantage to selling a property a well. The first impression in any room is the light and the windows. “2013 was one of our busiest years in business and 2014 is starting off pretty much the same. It seems the economy has turned and people are investing in their homes with many updates and improvements, window treatments seem to be high on their list,” Steven said.
You will find the staff at Window Works to be friendly and professional, they offer options for almost any price point and guarantee all installations. Window Works can be reached at 508-677-1414 | windowworksMA.com 59 May 2016 | Home Show Section | NEHomeLife.com July 2012 | NEHomeLife.com

What to Consider Before You Buy a Vacation Home By Haley Fisher
You could be tired of having to lug the ski gear from home to mountain lodge, or perhaps you are looking for somewhere warm to lounge during the winter months, or maybe the children have moved out and you are planning for retirement. Regardless of the scenario there are multiple things to consider before purchasing a vacation home. Can you afford it? This may seem like a very straight forward question and it was probably the first one you thought of before you gave this decision any serious time but there are many aspects to consider. For example a lot beach side homes or mountain top communities require extra insurance fees because of the possible natural disasters and weather that affect them. Extreme weather plus a home vacant for extended amounts of time can add up in maintenance costs. When planning for financing your second home it is a good idea to work with an experienced mortgage broker instead of a single lender. Location, location, locationâ&#x20AC;Ś The first thing you should do before you make a decision as where to purchase property should be to spend time there. It is important you get a feel for the community, try renting a house. If you are considering a retirement home keep in mind aspects like stairs, noise, and upkeep. If you are buying a vacation home based on a current hobby make sure that the location provides other recrea-
66
tion opportunities in case you tire of that activity. If your family is expanding and you want to buy a home for everyone to gather at then make sure there is room to grow. Be Real It is important to be honest with yourself especially when thinking about how often you will actually visit this house. Consider everything from work to school schedules and factor in the amount of vacation days you have. If it turns out that you will get to spend time there for more than just once a year than it could definitely be worthwhile. Transportation Traveling to and from your second home is another point of consideration. Can you drive there? If so then be sure to factor in gas money. If you have to take a planeconsider becoming a member of a frequent flyer program. Maybe travel would require a car ride, flight, and then boat trip to your island vacation home. If this is the case then the travel time may not be worth the end result for many people. What will happen when you are not there? A vacation home implies that it is your second home meaning you will not spend all your time there. This raises the questions of what will happen when you are not there. Some communities that many vacation houses are located in have security programs where as other locations may suggest renting it out while you are not using it. There are many options, just make sure to pick one before you purchase

Bay Club Living
Where Value and Quality of Life Meet By NEHL Staff
Golf Course Communities Are Not Just for Golfers With new home prices rising throughout all regions of New England, finding a special place for your dream home has become more of a challenge today than almost at any time in the past. Discrete homebuyers are looking to live and raise their families in better planed communities offering more open space and are focused on security, amenities and eco-friendly environments. Most buyers today looking at mid to upscale homebuilding options will quickly tell you that master planned communities with a host of amenities are at the top of their list. Along the south coastal regions of Massachusetts in communities like Plymouth, Marion and Mattapoisett new home construction prices are increasing as price points for 2500 to 3000 sq. new homes in many areas are now above $600,000. One thing has become apparent with this trend, communities like the Bay Club in Mattapoisett are seeing an increase in activity that is being fueled by homebuyers demanding more. The cost gap that separates planned living communities from traditional developments is growing smaller as consumers look for more than just a home site for their families. For many, whether you play golf or not, communities like the Bay Club offer home building amenities that ad up for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s discriminating

buyers. Lovely views of well-manicured greens and fairways in a park like setting create the perfect backdrop for your new home.

Reminiscent of traditional neighborhoods in New England's coastal towns, the Bay Club offers homeowners the chance to select from 2 and 3-bedroom single-family living or purchase a home site and build custom home with one of the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Preferred Builders. In addition to championship golf, the Bay Club offers resort style amenities in a private country club setting complimented by an active social calendar geared to bring together members of all ages. Yachting, boating and fishing on Buzzards Bay are located nearby, as is ferry service to Martha's Vineyard and the Elizabeth Islands.

Modular Home Building Today
Modular homes are a great alternative to traditional on-site new home construction. Because most of the initial construction work is done in an off-site, climate-controlled factory using an engineered approach to building, these systems built houses offer a more efficient and cost-effective method for building your dream home. After individual, custom-designed modules are created by the manufacturer, they are transported to the building site. A local builder applies the finishing touches after joining the sections together using the same methods and standards used for stick-built houses. The result is that beautiful one- and two-story modular homes can be purchased at significantly lower cost per square foot. Modular homes match the quality and appearance of traditional stick-built houses. This is not boring prefab housing with no curb appeal. Modular construction offers a wide range of custom-designed floor plans that can deliver your family its custom luxury house. Modular Homes Are Not Mobile Homes Modular homes have no design limitations. Your manufacturer and local builder can work together to create any dream house you want. The key difference between prefab homes and traditional houses is that modular
82
houses start out as individual sections that are constructed in a factory. The finished sections are transported to your selected building site and then assembled together using giant cranes. The assembly process looks a little like building with Lego blocks but the construction standards are obviously a lot higher. Modular homes are built on foundations and cannot be moved after they are set on their foundation. These prefab houses can be any shape or size and will meet or exceed your local and
state building codes. Once they are fully constructed, they are just as strong and attractive as any building constructed with traditional methods.You can have glass sunrooms, extra tall ceilings, warm fireplaces and anything else

Rates, Great for Homebuyers & Refinancing
Homebuyers Advantages According to Freddie Mac's weekly mortgage rate survey, 30-year mortgage rates dropped 9 basis points (0.09%) last week, falling to 3.84 percent, on average, nationwide. Last week's drop marks the largest oneweek mortgage rate drop since January of this year, and puts 30-year mortgage rates below four percent for the fifth straight week. As September winds down, conventional rates are near 3.875% for home buyers paying points at closing; and rates for FHA and VA loans are as much as three-eighths of a percentage point lower. This is the lowest mortgage rates have averaged since May 2015. Because mortgage rates have dropped, today's home buyers can afford close to 10% "more home" as compared to the start of last year. If you could afford a $300,000 home last year, this year, you can afford a home at $330,000.
including escrows for taxes and insurance; nor, private mortgage insurance (PMI), where applicable.
Reducing Term Mortgages Pay Off the Mortgage Faster One of the biggest benefits of a 15-year mortgage term is the ability to quickly pay off your home loan. This option is perfect if you plan to stay put and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to pay your mortgage for a lengthy period of time. Mortgage payments are huge expenses, but with your payment out of the picture, you can focus on other things like preparing for retirement, working less hours, and enjoying the freedom of not having
Refinancing Advantages But, it's not only home buyers who are benefitting from today's low rates. With mortgage rates down, millions of U.S. homeowners are back in the money to refinance. To be "in the money", your mortgage rate must be more than 150 basis points (1.5%) above today's rates; and, your loan must more than 10 years remaining with a balance larger than $50,000. With mortgage rates below the psychologically-important 4 percent figure. Loans now cost just $476 monthly for every $100,000 borrowed, not

a mortgage payment. Save Money on Interest If you’ve ever taken out a loan, you’re familiar with interest and how quickly it can add up. Factors such as your credit score and down payments can affect the interest rate on a mortgage. However, the shorter your finance term, the less you pay in interest; therefore, choosing a 15-year mortgage over a 30-year mortgage saves you a ton of money in the long run. For example, if you finance a property for $200,000 at 4% interest over 15 years, you’ll pay $66,288 in interest. However, if you finance a home for the same amount with the same interest rate for 30 years, you’ll pay a whopping $143,739. Build Equity Faster Equity is the difference between your house’s value and what you owe your home loan lender. Home equity builds as your property value increases and your mortgage balance decreases. Unfortunately, equity builds slowly with a 30-year mortgage because it takes longer to pay down the principal balance. However, since you pay less interest on a 15-year mortgage, you can build equity at a faster rate. Before making a final decision to apply for a reduced term mortgage, it’s important to note that shorter mortgage terms aren’t right for every buyer. You should consult with your mortgage professional for options that are best for you. Call me with any questions regarding home mortgages.
