HAVE A
BIG FAMILY? HERE’S SOME HOUSE HUNTING TIPS By Kellen Owings
Creative Living 50 Fullsize.indd 6
1/24/19 11:46 AM
Having a large family can be great, but if there is one “drawback” it’s that you will need more space in a home to meet everyone’s needs and keep them comfortable. With a large family, you’ll need a larger house, because a home with three bedrooms and one bathroom isn’t going to cut it. You will need to look for homes with as much living and storage space as possible.
To help in your search for a home, consider looking for a house with the following features:
Look for a big yard
A bigger yard provides room for all of your kids’ activities. Younger children can play on a play set, while older kids practice sports. If you have a family pet or pets, the larger yard is better for them too to run around and play. A large yard is also perfect for having friends over or for large family gatherings in the summer.
Find a Home with a Finished Basement or Attic
With younger children, having one of these rooms is perfect to have as their playroom – a place where the kids can play without you having to worry about the good living room furniture getting messed up. And when your kids get older, a space like this will allow them privacy and room to have friends over. And later on, when a child is home from college, or even living at home for a bit post-graduation, these spaces are ideal for providing a feeling of “their own space.”
Creative Living 50 Fullsize.indd 7
At Least Four Bedrooms
While younger children can share bedrooms, older kids will need a room to themselves. If you can afford to, having a bedroom for each child is the way to go. Also, private or shared bathrooms for the kid’s rooms will help make getting ready in the morning easier for everyone in the house.
A Large Garage or Driveway
A two car garage will allow both parents to keep their cars free from the elements and off the street. A large garage will also provide storage space for things like sports equipment. And as your kids get older and get cars of their own, a large driveway will provide parking space and room to come and go. To help in your search for a larger home to fit your large family, enlist the help of a trusted real estate company and realtor to help find the right home.

CREATE A DOG FRIENDLY YARD LAWN AND PET HAPPY Any dog owner has likely seen parts of their new garden dug up by their four-legged family member, or their freshly laid sod become Spot’s outdoor toilet. Reach out to your landscaping professional to get some tips on creating a yard you and your dog will enjoy, but here are some tips to get started.
CONSIDER YOUR DOG’S NEEDS Each dog – senior, puppy, small, big, active breed or not-so-much – has different needs. Is your dog a water hound? Maybe you should include a splash pool or water fountain. Got a digger? Get a sand pit that will keep your dog entertained, the mess contained and the garden protected.
Does your dog love to run the perimeter of your yard? Design your yard with his path in mind. Does she have dog friends next door? Maybe an eye-level hole in the fence would keep her from barking. Jot down everything your dog needs from your family yard, then help your landscaper map everything out accordingly.
KEEP YOUR PET SAFE AND SOUND One of the most important pet features in your family yard is a secure fence – whether it’s made of wood, metal, vinyl or concrete. Inspect and fix your fence – or install one – so you can rest easy knowing your dog is safely within the boundary of your yard. CONSIDER TURFGRASS Turfgrass is safe – unlike concrete, asphalt or hard ground – and offers your pet a soft, cool spot to lie down, even during the hottest conditions. It also creates a comfortable backyard playground and provides a place to take care of business – just be sure to clean up regularly! There are many types of turfgrass that can handle “ruff-housing” from dogs and kids alike. Check your climate zone to make sure you’re selecting an appropriate grass species for where you live. (Another bonus benefit is grass is very good at capturing and filtering rainwater.) SELECT THE RIGHT PLANTS You’ll want to have a balance of grass, flower plants, trees and shrubs in your family yard. Keeping your climate zone in mind, select appropriate landscaping for the areas you’ve identified in your yard. Around walking paths, for instance, you’ll want to include sturdy, yet soft foliage that can stand up to puppy and people traffic without scratching. Use elevated boxes and patio planters for more delicate flowering plants. There are some plants and shrubs that are poisonous to dogs. Dogs don’t naturally avoid toxic plants, and many will eat plants that are not safe for consumption. You’ll want to avoid these in your outdoor living room entirely. The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) has a list of toxic plants that you should refer to when shopping for your family yard. Your landscaper will also help you choose the plants and grass that is best for you and your pup.

WHAT SHOULD YOU BE INCLUDING IN YOUR LISTING PRICE? So, you’ve decided to list your home on the market. You’ve probably enlisted the help of realtor, or at least researched what other comparable homes in your area are going for. You probably have a good idea of what your home is worth, but are you considering all the factors to include in your listing? Consider the following items, and make sure you’re accounting for them in your listing price.
Window Treatments
Furniture
When you move into your new dwelling, you’re not going to be taking your window treatments with you. But while you’re in your current home, it’s worth setting aside a few hundred dollars to replace the blinds, shutters and curtains. For a truly modern, convenient touch, install motorized shades that can be opened and closed with the touch of a button. When you’re selling your home, you can include these updated window treatments, and their installation, in your price.
Some buyers are looking for a truly turnkey home that’s completely furnished, especially in fast-moving cities like LA or New York. The furniture they see staged at your open house will help them achieve that, and they’ll likely be willing to pay extra for it. By selling your furniture and decor with your house, you may be able to increase the price of your listing.
Light Fixtures Light fixtures are usually customized for a space, so it’s better to leave them in your house. To sell them with your home, go with modern fixtures that keep the space well lit. Avoid harsh fluorescent lights and choose LED bulbs instead, which can make a room look brighter while saving energy.
Playsets Many potential buyers have kids or plan on having kids, especially if they’re first-time homebuyers. Even if your own kids have outgrown swing sets and play areas, consider keeping them in the yard. They have the potential to increase the price of your home.
Appliances Appliances can be tough to move, especially if they’re built into your kitchen or laundry room. Instead of planning to take them with you, include them in the price of your home. A word of caution: ensure the appliances match, are (relatively) new, are cleaned and look immaculate. If you’re in a pricey neighborhood, buyers want move-in ready homes stocked with higher-end appliances. Spring for expensive brands, and you may be able to get more money for your home when you sell.
By taking these items into consideration during your listing process, you might be able to demand more for your home than you previously thought.
