After years of housing recovery, we are continuing to experience a shortage of inventory among homes for sale in today’s real estate market. Fortunately for you, it’s a total seller’s market right now. According to the National Association of REALTORSŽ, there was a recent 6.1 percent increase of existing-home sales. This is the highest annual rate since September of 2013. Here are 5 signs it’s time to sell your home.
Signs You’re Ready to List Your Home
Yes
You’re running out of living space. If you’re getting frustrated because you are feeling overcrowded in your home, or if you don’t have enough space for guests to sleep, then you may be ready to sell. Maybe your kids are outgrowing their rooms (literally) or you’re thinking about adding to your family. These are all signs that it’s about that time.
You’re not emotionally attached to your home anymore. As you start going through the selling process, things will be a lot more difficult for you and your REALTORŽ if you still have some sort of emotional attachment to your home. Being this attached decreases the likelihood that you’ll even want to listen to the real estate agent’s advice. In order to sell, you need to be able to view your house as a product.
Should I sell?
Your equity is a force to be reckoned with.
No
This is one of most significant factors when it comes to selling your home and moving somewhere else. Are you financially ready to make the leap? Review all costs and expenses related to selling, including moving costs, as well as the down payment and closing costs on your new home.
Ever since the housing market crashed, homeowners now have a tendency to be skeptical about putting their home on the market to sell. Thankfully, real estate has come back in full force. Increasing numbers of homeowners are getting their positive equity back and negative equity rates are at their lowest since 2012. Now is the perfect time to see where your equity stands. Do some research and have your home reappraised.
You are ready to make your decision. Making the decision to sell your home can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. By partnering with a trustworthy real estate professional, you’ll get expert advice that will make the selling process a breeze. By considering all factors and working closely with a pro, you’ll be able to decide what is best for you and your family.
So, the choice is yours. Are you ready to list your home?

Preparing for a Mortgage.qxp 9/30/15 3:26 PM Page 1
The Home Buyerr’s Guide to
Preparing for a Mortgage Have you checked your credit andd decided that it’s time to buyy your first home? Weell, it’s no suurprise that making a home purchase c can be an overwhelming process. Fortunately,, there are wayys to stay ahead of the game whilee keeping your stress under con ntrol. Before you jump into a new mortgage, let’s learn some prreparation techniques to achieve the t best possible outcome.
1. Check you ur credit reporrt As soon as you appply for a mortgage loan, this is the first thing thhat lenders will look for. It’s always a good ideea to check and monitor your credit score, and keep k an eye out for any factors that may bbe harming your scores. Make sure that your o credit report is as accurate as possible, annd that no one else is getting access to your credit. Remember, the ultimate goall is i to t prove your o creditwor dit thiness thi t the to th lender in order too get the best rates.
2. Correct aany inaccuraate informaation tiion in your repor reporrt If you see any inaaccurate information on your credit report or iff you notice any accounts that you didn’t open oor addresses that aren’t yours, dispute it with the credit bureaus. Three of the major credit bureaus are Equifax, Experian, and TransU TransUnion.
3. Research,, research, and resear researrch Buying a home iss one of the largest financial decisions you willl make, so it’s important that you gather alll information and research multiple loans, raates and brokers before making your finall decision. If you get to work now and start reseearching all the options out there, you may evven end up with better terms and a better rate.

4. The do own wn ppaayment: bigger is better Befor e e you even decide how much to put ut down on your first house, be sure you’re also beiing realistic about what you can honestly stly affford. When setting your budget, keep this in mind: the larger the down payment, the t bettter your terms will be. And, the lower your moortgage payment, the more money youu can savve ffor home improvements t andd repairs i s.
5. Watch out for pre-ppayment yment penallties Depending e on the type of mortgage youu get, theere may also be pre-payment penalties. s. Find ouut whether or not you’ll get penalized ffor payying your mortgage loan off early befoore maaking any sort of commitment.
6. Appllying for mulltiple tiple loans over a long period of tim me can hurrtt yyour our credit scor o e Evvery single time you apply for a loan, lenders maake an inquiry that will be visible on your credit e report. By dragging out loan applicatioons over a month or longer, you can acctually end up doing damage to your score, which ich in turn, can affect the type of rate you get on thee mortgage. Howeever, if you apply forr a few loaans over a series of 2 w weeks, eeks, that only counts as one inquiry on your report, not multiiple.

If you’re planning on selling your home, it’s especially important that you keep it in tip-top shape and stay up to speed with new, popular home trends. A little touch of luxury here and a flair of elegance there really goes a long way. Here are some of the top home remodeling trends in 2015, according to remodeling experts - Andy Lindus of Lindus Construction, Mike Blank of MBC Remodeling, and Jason Hampel of Moss Building & Design.
1. Bye-bye ceramic flooring...Hello luxury vinyl tile. Increasingly over the year, home owners will be using luxury vinyl tiles on their kitchen or bathroom floors instead of ceramic. This type of flooring gives a high-end look that is sure to impress.
2. More painted kitchen cabinets and less stainless steel. Another popular feature in homes includes painted cabinets in new kitchens along with white trim. People are also starting to move away from stainless steel appliances because they show fingerprints very easily.
3. Maintenance-free countertops. It may be hard to believe, but granite countertops are on their way out. Although not gone completely, we will start seeing a much greater demand for high-end kitchen countertops that require little maintenance, such as soapstone, engineered stone, or zinc.

4. Cooler bathroom colours. In the bathrooms of new trending homes, buyers are leaning more and more toward cooler colours on the wall and décor. Specifically, cool greys, green, blues and white will be popping up in remodelled bathrooms.
5. Add “keeping room” off the kitchen. An increasing number of residents are adding “keeping rooms” to their home’s layout. A somewhat small room located near the kitchen, it’s a great place where kids can play with their toys, or the room can even be a study or media room.
6. Bigger closets and bathrooms. There is now a higher demand for larger closets and bathrooms because people want to make better use of their space.
Now is the perfect time to think about redecorating your house to attract new home buyers. Just follow these top home design trends for a newly upgraded and luxurious space. You’ll be glad you did!
