Side-yard appeal can help sell your home ronment to use for your daily meditations. I have a stone carved bench that I love. Etched in it is a wonderful saying, "If tears could form a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to Heaven

By Phoebe Chongchua RealtyTimes.com

I'm sure you've heard of curb appeal but what about sideyard appeal? Sellers that have side yards may be squirming right now as they look for the fastest way to change the topic. Yes, side-yard appeal matters too and those often slim, tucked away (to the side of the house, of course) areas can be charming and appealing like the allure of your home from the curb should be when you put it on the market.

"It's a tiny, long area...what on earth can I do with it other

than store my trash cans and garden tools there?"

Glad you asked!

Here are a few options that make the yard not only more appealing but likely can help sell

your home faster.

Go Zen. If you like to have a peaceful place to sneak away and steal a few quiet moments to yourself, how about creating a zen garden? Not much

space is needed, just a bit of creative design.

Zen gardens typically have some sort of water feature. A small fountain, along with a bench, will do and will create a peaceful envi-

and bring you home again." This is a favorite piece in my yard. Couple that with some fragrant blooming flowers and you have a delightfully pleasant space to unwind. (con’t. on page 7)

Saturday, June 1, 2013

Side yard (con’t. from page 5)

Work it out. An outdoor work space can be the perfect place to get things done. Plant some colorful flowers, shrubs, and vines. In the side yard, many can be trimmed to a narrow shape to allow room for a work table.

Also consider adding some sort of covering for the space where you will be working.

On hot summer days when the sun is beating down, you'll appreciate a canopy to block out some of the sun.

A hideaway nook. If you get morning sun-

shine in your side yard, how about a little breakfast spot? Place a cute little table and some small chairs there. Create a welcoming environment with some beautiful flowers and whimsical yard dĂŠcor. Here's where those nifty outdoor knicknack items you find while on vacation can find a home.

A tall mirror strategically placed can surprisingly magnify your space.

The practical side.

Even a practical side yard can be appealing.

Invest in a small tool shed and, if you're artistic, paint the outside to match the theme of the side

7 yard. Even trash cans and recycle bins can be decorated to make them actually attractive and more than just functional. A small chair or two can be useful in this area and if you buy some that have a unique look, you can create an eclectic and charming side yard that's also practical.

Most of all, tend to the side yard. Don't let it get overgrown with weeds or become the dumping ground for all the items you can't find a place to store.

Keeping the side yard clean and appealing will help you when it comes time to sell your home.

Home warranties useful for some, not all

By Broderick Perkins RealtyTimes.com

Home warranties for resale homes are on the rise as the housing market recovers and more homes hit the market for sale.

So says the Service Contract Industry Council (SCIC), a trade group comprised of most of the nation's home warranty purveyors.

"Securing your home with an extended warranty is a great way to set yourself apart from other sellers," said Tim Meenan, SCIC's executive director.

"Buyers seek out homes that are covered by an extended warranty because it can potentially save them thousands of dollars in post-sale home repairs."

But there are two sides to the story.

Home warranty pros The council says sellers get an edge by attracting cash-drained buyers who can use the warranties to save on both the fear of and cost of some unexpected repairs on major appliances; electrical wiring; plumbing; water heater, and (HVAC) heating and air conditioning systems.

The council also claims the contracts

can help boost the sales price. Homes with warranties return a sales price that is 3 percent higher, on average, than homes without the contracts, the council says.

"Offering a home that is under warranty sends a message to prospective buyers," Meenan said.

"It says that you care about the product you are selling and that the buyer can have confidence in what they are buying," he adds.

Chances are, however, unless you are selling a distressed property or fixer upper, you may not need to shoulder the extra selling cost burden of a home warranty - $400 to $500.

Today's housing market demand exceeds the supply by a wide margin and in most cases a warranty won't

make the difference between a sale and no sale.

The housing downturn also left buyers wary and skeptical. A home warranty could send the wrong message - that something is wrong with the home.

Home warranty cons Consumer Reports and other critics say the $400 to $500 annual cost of home warranty could be better spent on an interest-bearing, home-maintenance savings account.

Not to be confused

with homeowners insurance, an annual home warranty covers the repair or replacement of major appliances, due to normal wear and tear. Preexisting conditions and improper installation generally aren't covered.

The warrant company gets to decide if the condition was pre-existing or is covered. It also determines if something will be repaired or replaced.

Some 32 states require home-warranty (con’t. on page 10

If you do buy a home warranty-covered home, just make sure the warranty is fully paid and read the contract.

The council says many companies offer coverage regardless of age, make or model.

However, take time to understand your responsibilities and the contract's limitations (say for older systems), caps and exclusions and check on the contractors the company uses, Consumer Reports says.

Tips for extending your home into your patio In warmer weather, patios transform into the ultimate gathering space for backyard barbecues, reading, relaxing or even exercising.

These outdoor rooms become an extension of the house, seamlessly merging the outdoors inside and vice versa.

This summer, many homeowners will tackle revamping the home to expand this transformation between indoors and outdoors.

Start with a patio door that will set the stage for your transformation.

Choose a sleek sliding patio door to compli-

ment or create a clean look, or if you’re short on floor space. An elegant French or hinged patio door is a good option for homes with ample open floor space.

Durable, easy-to-carefor doors like Pella 350 Series premium vinyl sliding patio doors are great for families with children and high traffic.

Continue your transformation with landscaping both inside and out to combine the areas. If your patio connects to the kitchen, potted herb

plants indoors blend beautifully with potted flowers on the patio. In settings where a patio connects to a living room, potted small trees inside connect

well with planted trees framing your patio.

Complete your indoor/outdoor gathering space by using similar materials between the two spaces.
