Homes

Negotiations have ended, the sellers have moved out and now there’s one additional task to handle before you head to closing - the final walkthrough. Not to be confused with a home inspection, a final walkthrough typically happens 24 hours before closing.

Generally speaking, you, the buyer, along with your real estate agent will be looking through the home to make sure there are no obvious undisclosed issues. Confirm all appliances, furnace/central air, hot water heater, etc. are still working. Test light fixtures, flush toilets, check faucets, open windows, close doors and basically test anything you can think to test.

Plug your phone or an outlet tester in to all outlets to be sure they are working. If not, you may have a deeper problem with electrical wiring that you’ll definitely want to sort out before closing. Personal property of the seller should be completely gone - check the attic, basement, garage, shed spaces and under decks to make sure all items, including old paint cans, chemicals, hazardous materials, etc. have been removed.

Now is the time to make sure other important items have been left behind: garage door openers, keys to padlocks for basements, outbuildings or mailboxes; keys to gas fireplaces, collars for invisible dog fencing. These items are much harder to obtain once closing happens, especially if the sellers are not local, or are moving from the area.

Double-check that all repairs stated on the inspection summary have been completed, and that the seller has left behind warranties and receipts for the work. If something breaks, you’ll want to be able to follow up with the person or company that made the repairs.

Take your time and look closely. Damage and issues are easier to spot in an empty house. Bring any unwelcome surprises to your real estate agent’s attention immediately.

5 Hot Trends

newsShorts

In Hardwood

says interior designer Emily Morrow Finkell, CEO of Emily Morrow Home. “Many of the popular gray-brown shades look especially sophisticated applied to white oak. Consumers see and love it in magazines and websites, making it a perfect ‘attainable home upgrade.’”

More than ever, homeowners are appreciating the added value aesthetic and monetary - that hardwood floors bring to a home.

The Wider, The Better - “It’s all about wide, wider, widest!” says NWFA’s Michael Martin.

“Planks of up to 7 inches in width are considered normal now. Traditional strip flooring still remains popular, but wide-plank is the market leader.” As Melissa Morgan of M Interiors in San Antonio says, “Wider floorboards can make a space look larger and more modern. The floor can be treated like a canvas: ebonized for a sleek, dark look; light-stained for an urban vibe; distressed for a rustic affect - the possibilities are endless.”

Flooring

“They also offer what can be an overwhelming variety of possibilities and choices,” says Linda Jovanovich of the American Hardwood Information Center, www.hardwoodinfo.com.

“Here’s a look at five top flooring trends that will help if you can’t see the wood for the trees.”

Made in America - “There’s a growing demand for American-produced hardwoods,” says Michael Martin, President and CEO of the National Wood Flooring Association. “It’s part of the general trend toward locally-sourced materials of all kinds in the U.S.” Consumer concerns about sustainability, quality, safety, and environmental factors are more easily addressed when a hardwood is domestically grown and milled. Plus, the U.S. offers an unrivaled range of readily available species suitable for flooring.

Stains and Finishes - Gray is a classic “neutral” that’s never truly out of fashion. It’s currently one of the most popular colors, ranging from pale smoke to deep charcoal, showing up on hardwood flooring. “Whether light or dark, gray stains bring out any wood’s natural grain and texture,” says New York interior designer Laura Bohn. “Grays are versatile and timeless - quiet and soothing colors that recede into the background without losing personality or becoming faceless. They work in any style décor, yet always look modern.”

Species - For several years, the trend was toward characterful woods like hickory, but recently, white oak has moved to the front. Along with abundance, durability, and reasonable cost, white oak offers aesthetic advantages. “It can be stained light, dark, or somewhere in between,”

Popular Patterns - “One way to set your home interior apart is by tapping into the trend for herringbone-and- chevron-pattern hardwood floors, which show up increasingly in decorating magazines,” says Morrow Finkell. But as Michael Martin points out, “Since installing herringbone floors is a time-and labor-intensive process, they’re more common in high-end projects than in the average middle-class home.” Still, if you can afford to splurge, these floors are a gorgeous addition to any room.

How To Select

Interior Finishings

For Your Home

When building or renovating a home, the use of interior finishings can help create a finished and unique look .

Interior finishings can include trim or moulding, wall treatments, interior doors, posts and columns, stairway systems, and ceiling treatments. Here are some tips and tricks from

interior design experts at Metrie to help you choose the best interior finishings based on your style and home: STYLE: There are endless options when it comes to moulding profiles. It’s important to consider the style of your home, both inside and out when selecting the right moulding, along with the lifestyle, personalities and design preferences of those living in the home. Metrie has a online resource at Metrie.com called Room Styler to help guide the selection process.

TYPE: Primary trim is used in most home installations and includes baseboard, casings and crown mouldings. They are the most functional trim elements and help set the tone of a room. Design enhancing trim such as chair rail, panel moulding and architraves add extra dimension and flair to any room. Ornamental trim, a decorative trim, helps warm up a space; corner blocks, plinth blocks, rosettes and Ikons are part of this category. To help ease the chaos of choice, Metrie has designed the Then & Now Finishing Collections, the industry’s first coordinated finishing elements consisting of moulding, trim and interior doors sized and proportioned to fit together with ease and precision.

MATERIAL: Choose a material based on application and the finished result desired -options can range from solid wood species, to MDF to faux wood and flexible moulding options.

SIZE: The choice should be based largely on the ceiling height of the room. In many cases, there are complementary profiles that can be used in a home with varying ceiling heights. The size may vary, but the style should remain consistent room to room.

APPLICATION: Trim can be used in a number of non-traditional ways, such as creating door headers, wall treatments or frames, and can be layered or built-up for a unique or custom look.

Planning the design in advance can ensure that all of the necessary products are ordered at one time, reducing down time in the project.

4 Insider Tips

For Anyone Buying Or Selling A House How many houses have you been outbid on? And if you’re an owner who can’t even get a nibble out of buyers - if some barely even bother stepping inside - are you starting to feel like screaming?

Yes, times are tricky for both buyers and sellers.

“Rising demand among millennials, full employment, and the strong economy have bumped against limited inventory,” the Washington Post reported, “which fuels price increases.”

What to do?

Read on for some of the best insider tips.

• January and February are the best months to buy. Forget the “experts” who warn you shouldn’t try to time the market. A recent study from NerdWallet shows houses typically cost 8.45 percent less during those two months than in June and August.

True, the pickings might be slimmer, given that most sellers list a house in the peak spring or summer seasons. However, not only are you less likely to be up against buyers with wads of cash - they’re probably wintering in the likes of St. Barts - but you’ll also stand to profit from a timetested truth. “If their home is (still) on the market in fall or winter,” notes the home improvement website BobVila.com, “chances are they’ll be eager to close.”

With the median price of homes currently listed in the U.S. at $275,000, that 8.45 percent “discount” translates into a very un-chump change savings of more than $23,000 - and a lot more in pricier cities like San Francisco.

Sellers, on the other hand, do best in the first half of May, according to Zillow.com.

• Generation Z is quick to buy. We hear so much about Millennials these days, but those born after 1995 caught Zillow’s attention for a very good reason: When they buy, they buy “quickly.”

newsShorts More than two-thirds of those Gen Z buyers spent less than three months on their search, compared to 54 percent of Millennials and less than half of both Gen Xers (born between 1965 and 1976) and Baby Boomers.

One of the best ways to pique their interest?

Smart home features that allow just about anything to be remotely controlled on their phones.

• A new roof is a sure-fire way to boost a home’s resale value. A perennial fixture on Remodeling magazine’s annual Cost vs. Value Report, roofs are often the first thing prospective buyers notice even before exiting their cars. And if yours pales in comparison to others up for sale in the area or worse, looks like something out of “Twister” that could explain the lack of nibbles.

Patsy O’Neill, a sales associate with Sotheby’s in Montclair, New Jersey, has witnessed this effect first-hand.

“If your current roof is an eyesore,” she says emphatically, “buyers will be predisposed to find other things they hate about your place. It’s just the way people’s minds work.”

Your roof no longer cutting it? You might want to check out the popular Timberline roofing shingle line from GAF (gaf.com), North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, given their look of luxury at affordable prices. An even more upscale choice: the Designer Shingle line from the same company.

• Play the online odds. “Studies show that homes with more than six listing photos online are twice as likely to be viewed by buyers,” Trulia.com reports.

Of course, that only applies if the house you’re trying to sell is photo-worthy. (See “New Roof” above.) And if it isn’t … well, let’s just say you might want to skip this tip. (NewsUSA)

Steps to dial 911 on a smartphone compared to a landline:

1. The child must locate the phone.

2. Once the phone is found the child might have to unlock it or wake the phone.

3. Next the child must find the keypad, which may not be up on the screen.

4. Once finding the keypad and dialing 911 they still need to press call or send.

That being said, it’s very important to teach your child how to dial 911 on your mobile phone especially if you do not have a landline.

If you do not have a landline it’s important to keep the mobile phone in the house where the child knows where it is. A great example would be on a charging station in the kitchen. Make sure if you child is ever home alone to leave a cell phone at this station as well.

Practice will help your child in the future!

Walk through the steps with your child on how to dial 911 on your mobile phone and do this more than once while explaining to the child examples of when they may need to call 911. Examples could include: someone in the home fell and isn’t waking up or an adult that was with them became injured. Keep in mind when working with your child it is important to teach them during a fire their first priority always is to get out and go to your family meeting spot or a neighbor’s house to call 911. Children should not be trying to find a cellphone first and then evacuating during a fire.

The more you practice the easier it will be for your child to recall those steps in an emergency situation! Make sure to explain to your child where the send button is for placing the call, but not to push send while practicing.

Smartphone Apps to help teach children to dial 911: Apps such as DialSafe Pro and Teach 911 are available to teach your children how to use your iPhone to dial 911 in the event of an emergency.

Verizon Wireless offers an interactive simulator to teach children how to dial 911 from an Android and other smartphones. Click on your smartphone to start the simulation, then the phone calls tab and lastly the teaching children how to dial 911 tab to use the simulator for practice. (Blank Children’s Hospital)
