Is It Time To Make Your Move? Interest rates have been low for quite some time and many analysts expect them to gradually increase over the next twelve months. With that news in hand, real estate experts suggest buyers who have been planning to make a purchase in 2016 may make an earlier than usual jump into the market to secure the best rate.

Syracuse NY, Edition

Market conditions for sellers and buyers look favorable, according to The Washington Post. “The historically low number of new and existing homes for sale makes it more of a seller’s market. Home-buyers have to grapple with the higher prices and lack of inventory but they should Khale R.

Transform Your

Home Today, Stay

Safe Tomorrow

While many can only dream of the day they’ll retire, for baby boomers, that dream is quickly becoming a reality. By the year 2030, approximately 20 percent of Americans are expected to be age 65 or older, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. But retirement doesn’t necessarily mean relocating to a senior community. More and more, adults choose to “age in place,” remaining in their current home, even after retirement. Here are a few ways to add extra convenience today - and ensure a safe home in the future. Change up common areas- When thinking about the long-term, start with the layout. In a perfect world, it’s ideal to have all the key living spaces bathroom, kitchen and bedroom on the first floor. If your home wasn’t built with a first-floor bedroom or bath, and stairs have to be a part of your plan, install no-slip strips on the edge of each stair to help limit trips and falls. Next, make sure there’s plenty of room to move. Aim for doorways that are at least 32 inches wide, though 36 inches is ideal. Tight corners and doorways are a challenge for those with walkers or canes. For stress-free opening and closing, change out door handles from traditional knobs to lever handles for an easier grip. Then, focus on the flooring. Installing carpeting can provide warmth and cushioning for you to enjoy now, and offers an added element of safety when it might be harder for you to maneuver around in the future. Choose a low pile carpet to minimize tripping - too much shag is a safety hazard. Area rugs are a major no-no, as unsecured rugs and loose carpet are one of the main causes for slips and falls. If you can’t bear the thought of losing your area rug, use carpet tape to secure it firmly to the floor.

newsShorts Boost the bath-If you can only update one place in your home, make it the bathroom. The bathroom typically offers the most opportunities for injury. In fact, roughly 234,000 injuries occur annually in the bathroom alone, as stated by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. An easy way to incorporate safety is to install grab bars. Today’s grab bars are stylish, fitting in seamlessly with your space, rather than seeming obtrusive and sterile. Install them near the toilet, (make sure you have a comfort-height commode for easy sitting and standing) as well as in the shower. Some models, like the corner shelf with grab bar from Moen, pull double duty adding an element of additional storage you can take advantage of immediately, providing room to store your shampoo, and will help keep you safe while entering and exiting the bath. Check out retailers like Lowes for a wide array of options that are fashionable as well as functional. In the shower, a handheld showerhead, like the Magnetix Engage showerhead from Moen, is an ideal option for those who may want to be seated while they bathe. Engage with Magnetix is also handy for cleaning the shower, by eliminating bending and squatting which can be hard on your joints as you age. Finally, at the vanity, choose a faucet with lever handles - they’re easiest to grip and turn - and install sconces near the mirror for additional lighting. In general, the most important advice for any room in your home is to think efficiently. Locate items that work together near each other to make tasks easier today, tomorrow and in the years to come.

Buying Smart Home Technology?

Ask Three Questions First

This year, many families will become owners of smart home technology for the first time. Connected to the Internet and controlled by smartphone apps, smart home devices promise to enhance everyday life with convenience, energy savings and even security. However, taking the wrong approach when buying them can lead to an expensive case of buyer’s remorse.

This very new technology comes with some unique considerations and options that many shoppers may overlook in pursuit of the best deal at retail. Before clicking ‘buy’, experts say, shoppers should consider the following questions to determine the best approach. 1. Can I install it? - Devices such as connected light bulbs may be simple to install, but others, like a smart thermostat, will require competence with electrical wiring and heating systems in order to work right. If DIY is a concern, buyers should research the ‘do it for me’ option: the growing network of smart home service providers who supply, install and configure smart home devices. 2. Is security important? - Many of this year’s most popular smart products, such as streaming video cameras and smoke detectors, offer awareness of what’s happening at home. But when it comes to security, they are self-monitored. You’ll get a text message if there’s trouble at home but what happens if you don’t get the message or can’t respond? For the security minded, professionally monitored options are a better buy. These systems send you a text notification if there’s an emergency and automatically contact emergency responders on your behalf. 3. Am I investing in a smart device, or a smart home? A common cause of smart home frustration is devices that don’t intercommunicate, requiring the user to use multiple apps and complex workarounds to automate their home. As more devices are added, the situation grows more complex. For shoppers planning to buy more devices in future, a solution such as a smart home security system eliminates the problem before it begins. The solution approach gives the buyer a complete ecosystem of smart home devices, connected by a single software platform and mobile app that ensures every device—current and future—can contribute to the goal of a smarter home.

Give The Garage An Upgrade If you’re looking for a way to brighten up your home exterior and get a good return on your investment, consider upgrading your garage door. Replacing an old door with a new insulated one has a number of benefits.

What Causes

Frozen Pipes? The water inside pipes can freeze when outdoor temperatures drop below freezing. As freezing water expands, it causes the pressure inside the pipes to increase, possibly leading to bursting pipes. Preventing Frozen Pipes • Insulate pipes, especially those close to outside walls, attics or crawl spaces where the chance of freezing is greatest. • Seal air leaks surrounding or near pipes • Keep garage doors closed if there are water supply lines in the garage • Disconnect all outdoor hoses and turn off water to exterior faucets and sprinkler systems • Open kitchen and bathroom cabinet doors to allow warmer air to circulate around the plumbing • Keep heat at 55 degrees F. or higher even when you are out of town • During a cold spell turn on both hot and cold faucets near outside walls to allow a small trickle of water to run during the night • If you need to be away from home, leave the heat on and drain your water system before you go • Identify the locations of shutoff valves so that you are prepared to stop the flow of water as soon as possible when a pipe bursts

What to Do When Pipes Freeze or Burst If pipes freeze: • Open all faucets • Remove insulation and wrap pipes in rags • If all else fails, call your plumber If pipes burst: • Shut off the water immediately to prevent additional damage • Take proper precautions to avoid an electrical shock from being in or near standing water • Take an inventory of any damaged property or possessions • Contact your local claims office to help you locate a vendor specializing in emergency water mitigation services that can properly dry out the damaged area

Make Your New House Feel Like Home To Your

Family Pets

Moving into a new home is exciting - for the humans in the discover the best nap spots in their new home. Here are family. It can be less comfortable for pets who need time to some tips to make your home more welcoming to your fouradjust to a new environment, learn their way around and legged family members: Convenient dining - Your furry friend will need his own space for meals. Make sure he has a bowl that is appropriate for his size and always clean it between meals. Vets recommend feeding pets only once or twice a day, so you’ll want to stow away bowls when they’re not in use. Many homes, including manufactured homes offered by Clayton, can be customized with a pet friendly feature pet dish drawers that allow you to conceal feeding dishes when they’re not needed, and slide the drawer open when it’s meal time. It’s a great way to keep your pet’s dining area near yours but also out of the way. Hang-out space - Dogs and cats spend a lot of their day napping and relaxing, so be sure to provide a variety of spaces for your pet to just hang out - with you or on his own. Clayton builds petfriendly spots into many of their home models, including window seats and hideaway cubbies where pets can nap in peace. Sunrooms are also great for both pets and their humans to enjoy the feeling of al-fresco dining while remaining securely inside. Sun worshipping 32

pets can also catch some rays while hanging out. Helpful grooming stations - Including a pet wash station with a hand-held hose in the mudroom ensures you’ll be able to clean up your dirty pup before he drags dirt through the house. Safe and happy outdoors - Many pets enjoy a good romp outdoors, and you want your companion to be able to safely play in his outdoor environment. Start by adding a fence if you don’t already have one. Choose one with vertical slats or rails close enough together that a pet can’t slip through, and high enough that he or she can’t jump over it. Next, be sure your pet has plenty of shady spots where he can hide, nap or just chill. Consider adding an outdoor pet fountain so pets always have access to fresh water, and a pet door to allow your dog or cat to easily come and go from your backyard. Cosmetic concerns - As you’re decorating your new home, remember choosing carpeting close in color to your pet’s coat will make shed hair less visible. You should also keep in mind the size of your dog as you’re choosing hard flooring. Sturdy laminates will hold up better if you have large

dogs in the house, while smaller dogs and cats may have trouble getting traction on vinyl or hardwood floors. “When you’re buying a home, it’s important that you consider every member of the family, and pets are a huge part of our families,” says Clayton CEO Kevin Clayton. “Choosing to include petfriendly features enhances not only a pet’s home life, but creates a better functioning environment for the homeowners too.” Visit www.claytonhomes.com to learn more about the pet features available or find a Home Center in your area.

How Can I

Invest in Real Estate?

If you agree that real estate can be an excellent investment vehicle, than you have probably considered this question. Like any vehicle someone needs to be in the driver’s seat. For the active investor, you are handling the day to day activities of your property. But if you don’t have the time, or the desire handle the daily work associated with owning real estate. Does that rule out investing in real estate? Not Necessarily, here are a few ways you can.

REIT’s (Real Estate Investment Trust) is one avenue that allows you to invest in real estate without being involved in the day to day activities.

Notes and Loans, these will allow you to invest short term with other active investors. Create a Team, put together a property manager, contractor, and access to inventory and you have your own management team. I would encourage investing in real estate, yet don’t be hasty, don’t jump in head first. Warren Buffett said it wonderfully “Never test the depth of a river with both feet.” Once you have done your homework, Give me a call.
