GOING FROM TENANT TO HOMEOWNER: W H AT T O K N O W You’ve been saving for a while, and you’re finally ready to move out of your apartment and take the leap to home ownership. Becoming a firsttime homeowner is both an exciting and a stressful process, but the payoff is well worth it once all the papers are signed and the keys are in your hands. Be sure to read on for some useful tips for preparing for home ownership and what to expect once you move in.
Creative Living 53 Fullsize1.indd 1
4/19/19 12:40 PM
Chances are, you’ve been renting from a landlord who was on the hook for minor repairs and major upgrades, not to mention yardwork and a lot of other upkeep. Now, all those tasks fall on you.
SET SOME MONEY ASIDE
STAY ON TOP OF MAINTENANCE
A good rule of thumb is to set aside one percent of your home’s purchase price per year for maintenance. So, if for example, your home cost $300,000, you should put aside $3,000, or about $250 a month, for home repairs. If you’re buying a new construction home, you shouldn’t have major repairs right away and you’ll likely have a new home warranty covering any maintenance costs. By saving this money now, particularly if you’re moving into an existing home, you won’t have any surprises if a hot water heater breaks or if you need a new roof down the line.
This doesn’t just mean keeping up with yard work and cleaning, even though they’re important. You’ll want to do an annual survey of your major appliances and know what they look like when working properly. Keep your eye on the roof or visible pipes as well – catching a problem early is key to preventing expensive repairs. Keep the name of trusted plumbers, HVAC repairmen, and electricians just in case.
INSPECT BEFORE YOU BUY A proper inspection of your new home will alert you to problems that already exist. There shouldn’t be any issues in a new construction home, and, if anything, only minimal issues in an existing home, but an inspection can ensure that everything is installed properly or that you can negotiate with the seller for any minor repairs to be incorporated into the purchase price.
Creative Living 53 Fullsize1.indd 2
GET A HOLD OF YOUR FINANCES Finally, another major difference between renting and owning is the status of your finances. The first year you own a home, your taxes will become much more complex – so this might be the year you turn to a tax professional (if you don’t already do so). Second, start to budget. Chances are, you’re going to need to fill up your additional square footage with new furniture or electronics. Other things like lawn mowers, grills, and other seasonal products will be needed too, so make sure to comparison shop at the right time for a great deal.

KEEP YOUR HOME
SAFE AND DRY
DURING HURRICANE AND FLASH FLOOD SEASON Creative Living 53 Fullsize1.indd 3
4/19/19 12:40 PM
June 1 is the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, and it will continue through November 30. Hurricanes aren’t the only water-related danger to your home and property during the summer months. With an increase in thunderstorms, summer also brings an uptick in flash floods. Hurricane and flood warnings should not be taken lightly. If you live in a coastal area or a region prone to flash foods, be sure to take precautionary steps to keep your home as safe and as dry as possible.
Preparedness Tips:
Landscaping Tips:
yy Keep loose items, like patio furniture, relatively secure at all times. You never know when strong winds or a thunderstorm will come through.
yy Hurricane force winds turn landscaping materials into missiles that can break windows and doors.
yy Keep boards handy in your garage or shed, just in case you need to board up your windows. Alternatively, install storm shutters to protect your windows from breakage. Remember to board up sliding glass doors or storm doors as well. yy Make sure exterior doors are hurricane proof and have at least three hinges and a dead bolt lock that are at least one-inch long. yy Replace old garage doors and tracks with a door that is approved for both wind pressure and impact protection. yy Seal outside wall openings such as vents, outdoor electrical outlets, and locations where cables or pipes go through the wall. Use a high-quality caulk to prevent water penetration. yy Keep electronics and electrical cords away from water or areas that can flood.
Creative Living 53 Fullsize1.indd 4
yy Replace gravel or rock landscaping materials with shredded bark or mulch, which is lighter and won’t cause as much harm. yy Cut weak branches and remove dead trees that could fall on your house. Keep shrubbery trimmed as well. yy If you’re close to a river or stream, consider installing a flood wall or placing sandbags down near your property to keep flood waters from permeating your property. Finally, keep a battery powered radio, extra batteries, canned goods, and plenty of drinking water on hand as well. Also, remember to heed all warnings: stay way from windows and exterior doors, take shelter in a sturdy building, and establish an assembly point for family members to meet, if separated.

POWER THROUGH YOUR CLEAN-UP LIST WITH A PRESSURE WASHER
Do you have a lot to clean this summer and not a lot of time to do it? Consider pressure washing (also known as power washing). Pressure washers aren’t just for cleaning your home’s exterior before painting or getting gunk off the roof – they can be used to clean much more. While not cheap, you can purchase or rent one, or reach out to a local pressure washing service to do it for you.
Clean patio furniture. Has your deck or patio
Make stonework gleam. While you’re removing
furniture built up pollen or grime this summer? Forget the scrub brush, soapy water, and elbow grease and make quick work of cleaning wood and iron furniture with a pressure washer. Just don’t spray too close. See that the washer tip is held a few feet away – otherwise it can strip paint or other finishes.
weeds, blast the pavestones and tiles with a pressure washer to remove dirt from them as well. And quickly remove dirt and mildew from stone or concrete planters, birdbaths and garden statues by hitting them with the pressure washer as well.
Banish weeds and dead plants. If you have deep-rooted weeds or dead grass entrenched between pavestones, slate tiles, or concrete cracks in your yard or on your patio, don’t bust your knees bending down to pull them out or risk spraying harmful chemicals. Blast them with a pressure washer to remove weeds right down to the root.
Restore the shine to glass. Remove the film and stains that accumulate on outdoor glass tables or windows with your power washer, making it sparkle like new again.

Clean your deck or patio. Has your deck or patio been in high use this summer? Give it a midseason refresh with a pressure washer to get rid of stains from things like grease from the grill. If you need to really spruce up the deck, pressure wash those fading stains away, and re-stain it.
Spend more time this summer actually enjoying the weather by hiring a pressure washing service or renting one yourself. You can check off more boxes on your To Do list and even tackle your home’s exterior or roof as well.

BOOST YOUR CURB APPEAL BY PAINTING YOUR EXTERIOR When you put your home on the market, one of the best ways to pump up interest in your home is to boost its curb appeal. While installing a new mailbox or keeping the lawn well-manicured are great for maintenance, nothing boosts curb appeal quite like a fresh coat of paint on your home’s exterior.

S
ummer and early fall are a great time to pull the trigger on repainting your home. Ideally, you want warm, dry days. While there’s always a chance of thunderstorms in the summer, a simple check of the weekly forecast will alleviate any risk there. Summer is also a good time because there aren’t big temperature fluctuations from day to night. If you’ve got perfect temperatures during the day, but then a big drop after the sun goes down, the paint will react and won’t cure properly. Once you choose your painter, the next step is to start choosing your colors. First, choose the main body color of your home. This color is what most of your home will be painted, and it will set the tone for the rest of the home. Normally, you would choose something neutral like white, cream, gray, etc. If you have a change in material, such as an entry feature or second roofline, or any other secondary main material feature, include a
Creative Living 53 Fullsize1.indd 7
second main color to complement the first. Then, choose a complementary accent color that will highlight smaller details, such as doors and shutters. For example, if you paint your home an offwhite color, such as cream, choose a blue hue such as navy or a red hue like burgundy to complement it. Finally, tie everything together with a trim color around the windows and eaves. If you’re not ready for an entire exterior paint job, you can still give your house a facelift with some practical touch-ups on accent pieces. Fresh, bright paint on the front door, stair rails, balconies, shutters or window sashes can vastly improve the look of your house. Plus, it’s easy to change the color on these smaller details every year or two so you can constantly update and boost that curb appeal. If you’re putting your house on the market, look into a fresh coat of paint or doing some touch ups. It’ll go a long way towards a great first impression when it comes time to show your home.

WANT YOUR HOME SOLD QUICKLY? TRY THESE IDEAS When you’re ready to put your house on the market, you’ll obviously need a great realtor. But there are plenty of things you can do to boost your home’s appeal to sell it faster. Don’t wait around for months to get an offer. Be proactive and try some of these tips to sell your home quickly at top dollar. One great way to get your current home sold quickly is to stage it. Via home staging, you normally hire someone who will help improve the flow of your home, eliminate clutter, and make your home appear bigger and brighter. But you can also incorporate some of those same techniques in lieu of investing in a professional.
Depersonalize
Give Your Yard Attention
A cousin to decluttering, depersonalizing important as well. Think like a buyer. They want to imagine what the home will look like when they live there. Put away all the dog toys and kids’ clothes. And limit family photos on the walls and on the fridge.
Cleaning up your yard and making it look welcoming will do two things for sellers: attract more eyes and make your home look better. A beautiful yard that is well landscaped and free of weeds will attract more potential buyers. Boosting curb appeal adds value to your home. Improvements will give you a greater return on investment. Fixing siding, adding stone walkways or outdoor lighting, upgrading a mailbox, or adding outdoor furniture to a front porch will go a long way.
Clean and Declutter Now is the time to channel your inner neat freak. A potential buyer wants to see your home as move in ready when they view it. A spotless kitchen and shining bathroom fixtures go a long way to impressing a potential buyer. After all, who wants to see junk mail sitting on a kitchen counter or dried toothpaste in a kitchen sink? Convey to the buyer that your home is so clean that they could move in right away – that’s what you’re going for after all! Secondly, remove anything from your home you don’t use daily. Donate items or put them in storage. Don’t just shove off-season clothes or decorations into closets or other storage space. A buyer wants to see all the places they can store their things, they don’t want to see a closet stuffed to the gills with your flannel shirts or Christmas decorations.
Creative Living 53 Fullsize1.indd 8
Paint Buyers want to see a fresh, clean space when they visit your home. By painting inside and out, you have the chance to apply a neutral tone throughout the home. A new coat means no fingerprints or smudges on the walls.
And finally, if you want to sell your home quickly, price it smartly. Don’t set your asking price too high – look at comparable homes and try to find a price that will make you and a potential buyer happy to move quickly.
