EYE-CATCHING WAYS TO UPDATE YOUR HOME

Your home is a reflection of you, and your decor should match your tastes. With some simple home upgrades, you can create the perfect space for you and your family, even if your design preferences change over time.

GIVE CABINETS A FRESH LOOK

5

U P C YC L E F U R N I T U R E

One of the easiest home improvement projects, a fresh coat of paint can change the entire look of a room.

Whether you choose to paint the entire space one new colour, opt for an accent wall in a vibrant shade or simply freshen up the trim, paint can go a long way toward adding visual appeal and reflecting your personality. Patterned wallpaper, board and batten, stone and tile can also be added to create textured accents.

More than 3 in 5 homeowners have a fireplace or other hearth product in their homes and including a fireplace in your construction or renovation plans is a gift of warmth, comfort and ambiance you can give yourself. Whether it’s a centerpiece for your living room or family room, or an accent to your bedroom, bathroom or study, a fireplace can provide an artful design element for your home and a safe, reliable heat source in the event of unexpected weather.

Proper lighting can bring rooms to life and make spaces look larger and more welcoming. You can brighten up your home in a variety of ways, from strategically placing table and floor lamps that fit your design style to replacing older ceiling and wall-mounted fixtures with more modern styles.

There are numerous easy ways to update your kitchen and bathroom cabinets to create a more updated look.

One of the easiest is swapping out older cabinet pulls and knobs for more modern options. With a variety of finishes – stainless, bronze, brushed nickel, black, copper and more – and styles available, you can match your cabinets to nearly any design style in a matter of minutes. Adding a coat of stain or paint is also a relatively quick and easy way to update some of the most-used spaces in your home without completely replacing the cabinets.

You can breathe new life into your current furniture by making simple changes. The easiest would be simply rearranging your pieces and moving some to different rooms to create an updated look. You can also add decorative covers to sofas, chairs, throw pillows and more, or take your upcycling a step further and refinish a bookshelf, table or other wooden furniture with a fresh coat of paint or stain, or give it a more weathered look with some sandpaper.

TIPS FOR IMPROVING YOUR CREDIT SCORE BEFORE APPLYING FOR A MORTGAGE

BY JASON WOODS

F

or many people, buying a home is a significant milestone in their lives.

However, getting approved for a mortgage isn’t always a straightforward process. One of the most critical factors that lenders consider when evaluating your mortgage application is your credit score. A higher credit score can help you secure a better interest rate and save you thousands of dollars over the life of your loan. If you’re planning to buy a home in the near future, it’s crucial to focus on improving your credit score. Here are some essential tips to boost your credit score before applying for a mortgage.

1. Check Your Credit Report The first step in improving your credit score is to obtain a copy of your credit report from all three major credit bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Review your report carefully for any errors, such as incorrect account information or unauthorized inquiries. Dispute any inaccuracies with the credit bureau to have them corrected. A clean and accurate credit report is the foundation of a healthy credit score.

25

2. Pay Your Bills on Time

5. Keep Old Accounts Open

Consistently paying your bills on time is one of the most important factors that affect your credit score. Late payments can have a significant negative impact on your credit history. Set up payment reminders or automate your bills to ensure you never miss a due date. Remember that even one late payment can damage your credit score, so it’s crucial to stay on top of your financial obligations.

The length of your credit history is another factor that influences your credit score. Older accounts can have a positive impact on your credit score, so avoid closing them, even if you’re not using them regularly. Closing old accounts can reduce your credit history’s average age, potentially lowering your credit score.

3. Reduce Credit Card Balances The amount of credit you’re using compared to your available credit, known as your credit utilization ratio, plays a vital role in your credit score.

To improve your credit score, aim to keep your credit card balances low. Ideally, you should aim to use less than 30% of your available credit. Paying down high credit card balances can have a positive impact on your credit utilization ratio and boost your credit score.

4. Avoid Opening New Credit Accounts Every time you apply for a new credit card or loan, a hard inquiry is made on your credit report. These inquiries can temporarily lower your credit score. If you’re planning to apply for a mortgage in the near future, it’s a good idea to avoid opening new credit accounts. This will help keep your credit report free from recent hard inquiries.

DIRECT: 289-925-9599 jason@jason-woods.com

6. Diversify Your Credit Mix Lenders like to see a mix of different types of credit accounts, such as credit cards, installment loans, and mortgages. Having a diverse credit mix can have a positive impact on your credit score. If you have only credit cards, consider adding an installment loan, like a personal loan or a car loan, to your credit profile to demonstrate responsible credit management.

7. Work with a Credit Counselor If you’re struggling with a low credit score and don’t know where to start, consider working with a credit counselor.

A reputable credit counselor can help you create a plan to improve your credit and provide valuable guidance on managing your finances more effectively.

A strong credit score is essential when applying for a mortgage. By following these tips and consistently managing your finances responsibly, you can improve your credit score and increase your chances of securing a favourable mortgage rate. It may take some time, but the effort you put into boosting your credit score will be well worth it when you’re able to purchase your dream home with confidence.
