FOUR
WAYS TO BOOST CURB APPEAL BY EVETTE CHAMPION
Homeowners focus so much on the interior of their homes that they may often neglect the outside—or at the very least do the bare minimum like keeping the lawn mowed. However, if you’re thinking about selling your home or want to one-up the neighbors, here are a few ideas that’ll put other yards to shame:
Creative Living 71 Digestsize.indd 1
1/26/21 3:37 PM
1
Update Your Walkway. When folks come to your house, you want to roll out the proverbial red carpet. A beautifully done walkway can give off the impression that you’re welcoming guests to your house. If you have a plain concrete walkway, you could tear it up and install pavers, brick or slate. However, if you don’t want to do all of that, you could powerwash the walkway and stain it with a special concrete stain. Again, you can go as bold or as subtle as you’d like with the stain color, but be sure to choose a complimentary color!
2
Add or Update Lighting. Yes,
houses often have a generic porch light, but they don’t really add any pizzaz to the exterior of the home. Upgraded light fixtures add a bit of class and appeal to your home without a lot of fuss. Dark fixtures with clean lines on lighter houses just look a little more modern if that’s your desired aesthetic. If you want a farmhouse look, white or gray lantern fixtures are great options. Other than porch lights, you can add walkway lights or light posts to the front of your driveway too. With that said, flood lights that stay on aren’t necessarily great for curb appeal. We recommend motion sensor lights so that you’ll be alerted of anyone (or anything) coming onto your property, but the overall look of your home won’t be overshadowed by the bright lights.
3
Flowers like pansies and hostas are great for colder climates, but hibiscus or peonies do better during the summer or warmer climates. If you’re unsure about what flowers or plants to use, or need more information about gardening in general, the Farmer’s Almanac is an excellent source.
4
Use Color to Make Your House Pop. Naturally, flowers are a great
way to add some color to your house, but there are other ways you can add color! You can give your house a new coat of paint, which will freshen up the look of your house. Some popular exterior colors include shades of gray and blue, off white and light neutrals like taupe and brown. Another great way to add color is by having a bold door and/or shutters. Red doors are typical, but have you ever considered robins egg or even a bright color like orange, fuchsia or green? Just remember to choose a color that compliments the rest of the house, rather than clash! As with the interior of your home, you should strive to have lovely curb appeal! Of course, meticulous landscaping improves curb appeal, but it also helps make your house feel like home.
For the past year, Evette Champion has been writing informative articles for HomeLight.com and enjoys educating new homebuyers about the world of real estate. This article originally appeared on RISMedia’s blog, Housecall.
Create Flower Beds Suitable for Your Climate. You’d be surprised
by how well-maintained flower beds can improve the look of your house. The bright colors, deep rich mulch and even trimming around the flower beds go a long way to helping your house look put together. When you’re choosing flowers, you want to be mindful of what type of flowers grow best in your particular neck of the woods. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2021. All rights reserved.

THINGS TO CONSIDER WHEN LOOKING FOR A HOME AFTER YOU RETIRE If you’re approaching retirement age, you may be thinking about relocating. There are many factors to consider before choosing a new home. LOCATION
After you retire, you won’t have to be near your job. You will have the freedom to live practically anywhere you want. Start by figuring out the general region where you would like to retire. Perhaps you want to move to a place with warmer weather or you want to be closer to your children and grandchildren. Maybe you would like to live in an urban area with restaurants, museums, theaters and other forms of entertainment nearby. Perhaps you have spent most of your life in a large city and would like to spend your retirement in a quiet suburban or rural area.
Creative Living 71 Digestsize.indd 3
Before you move far from your current home, think about how you would keep in touch with family and friends. Ask yourself if you would visit often, quickly make friends in your new community or perhaps be lonely.
SET A BUDGET
If you are or will be on a fixed income, make a list of all the expenses you will have in retirement. Include healthcare, groceries, car insurance, gas and other regular monthly costs. That can help you figure out how much you can realistically afford for mortgage payments, private mortgage insurance, homeowners insurance, property taxes, maintenance, repairs and utilities.
1/26/21 3:38 PM
If you want to live in a place that is some distance from your family, factor in costs to visit. Those may include airfare, car rental and possibly a hotel, if your relatives don’t have a guest bedroom.
THINK ABOUT YOUR FUTURE NEEDS
Even if you and your spouse are in good health now, that may change in the future. Look for a house that is on one level and has wide doorways and hallways, as well as a wheelchair-accessible bathroom in case one or both of you has trouble getting around in the future. If the house has outdoor steps, make sure there is room to add a wheelchair ramp, if necessary.
FIGURE OUT WHAT TYPE OF COMMUNITY YOU WANT
You can choose a single-family house in a neighborhood with people of different ages, a condominium or a retirement community. Before you decide to buy a single-family house, think about the amount of maintenance it would require and whether you could handle it yourself or afford to pay someone else to take care of it. You might decide that it would be better to move to a senior community or a condo and pay a monthly maintenance fee. If so, include community fees in your budget. Make sure you understand all the rules and restrictions in a homeowners association, condominium or retirement community before you commit.
DISCUSS YOUR PRIORITIES
Many couples think they are on the same page and then realize that they are miles apart. Don’t assume that you and your spouse have envisioned your retirement in the same way. Sit down and talk about your goals and priorities. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2021. All rights reserved.

THESE PAINT COLORS MAY INCREASE
THE VALUE OF YOUR HOME One of the easiest and least expensive things you can do to help make an impression on buyers when selling your home is to give it a fresh coat of paint. A new paint job not only helps your home appear fresh and clean, it can also help your home sell faster—and for more money—when the right colors are used. According to the home-design experts at marthastewart.com, painting your home’s interior in a neutral shade is integral to a good homeselling strategy. Neutral colors serve two important purposes: they make your home appear more expansive; and they allow buyers to envision their belongings in the space since most furniture will work well against a neutral background. Fortunately, choosing neutral paint colors doesn’t mean you have to forego style. There is a wide palette of effective neutrals to choose from. Consider the following suggestions. WARM GRAYS. Inviting shades of gray work well in any room, often providing an elegant, contemporary vibe. There’s a wide range of grays to choose from—consider one with a warm greenish hue or one that provides some balancing cool tones as well.
SOFT WHITES. Shades of white provide the ultimate blank canvas for prospective buyers, allowing them to easily imagine their own furniture, linens and wall decor in the home. White walls are also the easiest to paint over or add pops of color to. Shades of white vary dramatically, so be sure to consult a paint professional and test out several samples. PALE PASTELS. You can introduce some color to a room if you keep it on the soft side. Look for very pale pastels that offer hints of pink, blue, green or lavender. Such colors can add appeal and personality without overpowering a space. RICH BEIGE. Another winning color choice for buyer-friendly walls is rich beige. Both buyers and designers consider beige to be one of the most versatile design colors, offering a warmer option than white. Beiges come in a variety of undertones, from gray to yellow, so be sure to select one that complements existing features like floors and cabinets. Reprinted with permission from RISMedia. ©2021.

4 ITEMS YOU MAY WANT TO INSURE BEFORE MOVING
Even when everything goes according to plan, moving is pretty much guaranteed to be a stressful process. If something gets lost or damaged, however, it’s only going to get worse. That’s why it’s important to make sure that certain luxury items are insured before they’re packed and transported to your new home. While homeowners insurance will usually cover you in the event of a break-in or natural disaster, such as a fire or hurricane, you could still be liable for anything that happens while moving. Moving companies, on the other hand, can be held liable to replace or fix a damaged item if you purchase full-value protection, though you’re not guaranteed to receive full compensation because you’re usually only covered up to a certain amount. For items of extraordinary value, which are defined as being worth more than $100 per pound, it can be a good idea to purchase separate insurance to cover you while moving. Here are a few items that luxury homeowners frequently opt to add coverage to.
JEWELRY
ARTWORK AND ANTIQUES
TECHNOLOGY
For a valuable art collection, it’s quite common to purchase property insurance in addition to your homeowners policy. Even if you’ve already done this, though, you’ll want to check and see if it covers moving, as it’s entirely possible that damage that occurs in the back of a truck is not included.
A state-of-the-art home entertainment setup, complete with an ultra-high-definition television and high-fidelity audio system, can easily set you back tens of thousands of dollars. These items are far from indestructible, but they are replaceable. With insurance, you can enjoy peace of mind should anything happen en route to your new abode.
Perhaps the easiest item to “mysteriously disappear,” it’s always important to take proper precautions with your jewelry collection when moving. Be sure to have highvalue pieces appraised beforehand and, for items that are truly irreplaceable, you may want to hire a special jewelry shipping service, or carry it with you.
WINE All it takes is a bump in the road or a slam on the brakes, and a rare bottle of wine could be lost to the move. Hopefully, you won’t find yourself unpacking any winesoaked boxes at your new home, but, given the fragile nature, it’s smart to insure a valuable collection.

HOW TO FIND THE RIGHT WATERFRONT PROPERTY FOR YOU By Lizzie Weakley
Investing in a waterfront property is a way to ensure a maximum return while also providing you with a unique opportunity to enjoy a luxurious and exclusive view. If you’re thinking of purchasing a waterfront property, here are a few things to keep in mind to prevent overspending and to ensure your investment is sound.
Set a Budget
Research Property History
Have a budget in place before you begin researching and comparing different waterfront properties near you or on your preferred lake or other body of water. Without a set budget in place, you may find yourself wasting time or feeling let down after discovering a property you desire but cannot afford.
Research the history of the waterfront properties you’re most interested in and their previous owners. Compare listing and sale prices from previous owners and timeframes, as well as property taxes and fees, that were required from the homeowner at the time of sale or ownership.
Creative Living 71 Digestsize.indd 6
1/26/21 3:38 PM
Learn About Different Types of Water Choosing to purchase a waterfront property is a way to instantly gain access to a body of water, which is why it’s wise to familiarize yourself with the different types of water your preferred waterfront properties are on. When you are shopping around for waterfront property, consider what type of water you’re interested in. Saltwater and freshwater both provide different environments and opportunities, which is why it is important to choose a property near the type of water that’s right for you and your family.
Research Weather and the Potential for Natural Disasters If you’re making a waterfront property investment near the ocean, or even near a gulf, it’s a good idea to research the area for potential natural disasters, as well as
Creative Living 71 Digestsize.indd 7
disaster history. While some waterfront locations may be more protected and secluded than others, many waterfront properties that are located on oceans pose an inherent risk and danger compared to waterfront properties that are located on a freshwater source, such as a traditional beach or lake. Taking the time to research local waterfront homes, as well as taxes and other property fees you may encounter, is essential for anyone in the market for waterfront property. With the right research and an understanding of your own budget and needs, you can find a waterfront property that is truly ideal for you.
