2 Kingston Homefi nder.ca - Thursday, March 17, 2016

Homeowners choose renovation projects for a variety of reasons. Although many improvements are made to increase functionality and comfort of a home, several others are seen as worthwhile investments. These investments can add up to a higher resale value when the time comes to sell a home.

Certain projects have a history of providing a greater return on homeowners’ investments than others. The following renovation tips can add beauty to your home and generate great returns when you put the home up for sale.

• Invest in your kitchen. Kitchen remodels are a safe bet when it comes to putting money into improving a home. Residents tend to spend a great deal of time in the kitchen, but a dated, poorly functioning kitchen can detract from the value of a home, even if the rest of the home is in good shape. It’s possible to recoup between 60 and 120 percent of your kitchen remodel invest-ment, especially if the kitchen matches up well with the rest of your home. Homeowners should know that a deluxe renovation may not be nec-essary, as relatively moderate improvements can create a whole new look for a kitchen.

• Look to paint. One of the least expensive im-provement materials, but one that has a signifi -cant impact, is paint. Neutral, modern colors can easily liven up any space. If you paint with low-VOC paint, you also can advertise an eco-friend-ly home, which is very desireable these days.

• Put in another bathroom. Multiple bathrooms are an attractive selling point, particularly in old-er homes that may not have been equipped with more than one bathroom. Finding extra space for a bathroom can be tricky, but consider closets, ar-eas under stairs or even taking some space away from another room. Popular home-improvement television channel HGTV advises that half-bath-rooms require at least 18 square feet of space, while full baths need 30 to 35 square feet for a

stand-up shower or bathtub. • Renovate the HVAC system. Aesthetic im-

provements aren’t the only ones that add value to a home. Many home buyers are eager to pur-chase a home that has a new heating and cooling system, as buyers understand that furnaces and air conditioning units are substantial investments that can last for years. Other improvements, such as adding attic insulation or replacing older win-dows and doors with more energy effi cient op-tions, also are smart bets.

• Add illumination to rooms. A dark home is a dreary home. Adding light can mean including more overhead and accent lighting. Under-cabi-net task lighting is a nice touch. Inclusion of sky-lights and sun tubes can bring natural light into rooms that may not have south- or west-facing windows.

• Put a deck addition outdoors. Outdoor liv-ing spaces have become more desireable, espe-cially as the “staycation” has grown in popular-ity. Decks and patios can make backyards more appealing. The scope of your investment will depend on the size of the deck and design. Do-ing the work yourself can cut the cost of decks in half, but only if you have the specific tools or experience to tackle such a project.

• Improve curb appeal. Adding attractive landscaping and freshening up the entryway to a home can add considerable value to your home, as buyers judge homes by their exteriors. Completely renovated interiors may never be seen if buyers pass up your home because of a less attractive exterior. Classy, subtle changes, like well-placed shrubbery and a green lawn, can work wonders. An inviting front door and well-lit entryway also add curb appeal to a home.

Before making improvements, homeowners should determine if a given project will provide a solid return on their investment.

Buying a home can be very competitive. A well-maintained property with all of the bells and whistles that today’s buyers demand fi gures to attract many offers, and buyers who have found their dream homes must be prepared to make an offer that sellers can’t refuse.

Standing out in a sea of other potential home buyers is not always so easy, but there are steps buyers can take to ensure their offer is the one sellers ultimately accept.

• Get preapproved for a mortgage. Sellers’ patience may wear thin with buyers who are not preapproved for a mortgage when making their offers. Preapproval can speed up the selling pro-cess, as buyers won’t need to secure fi nancing afterward. When sellers receive multiple offers on their homes, they are more likely to sell their homes to buyers whose fi nancing is already lined up as opposed to buyers who have to scramble to secure loans.

• Establish a strong rapport with the sellers. It’s not uncommon for homeowners to develop emotional attachments to their homes, and buyers should keep that in mind when viewing a home and negotiating their purchase. Sellers won’t want to hear about how ugly a home is or how much money buyers will have to spend to bring the home up to their standards. While buyers must weigh such variables when making their of-fers, keep it as cordial as possible and avoid any

infl ammatory remarks during the negotiation pro-cess. Sellers may be more likely to accept a lower offer from a buyer they like than a higher offer from someone they don’t like.

• Don’t delay an inspection. When a property is drawing signifi cant interest, buyers can set their offers apart from the rest by arranging for a near-immediate inspection. Some buyers may want sellers to give them a couple of weeks to arrange for an inspection, and that may irritate sellers who want to sell their homes as quickly as possible. Have an inspector ready to perform an inspection within days of making your offer.

• Include an escalation clause. When making an offer on a home, prospective buyers can include an escalation clause. Such a clause acknowledges that a potential buyer is willing to increase his or her initial offer by a predetermined amount to ex-ceed any bids that are higher than that initial offer. When sellers trigger such clauses, they are often required to show the other offers they received that triggered the escalation clause. Escalation clauses show the sellers you really want the house while keeping potential buyers’ hopes of buying the home alive when the bids are competitive.

Prospective home buyers may fi nd themselves in some stiff competition upon fi nding their dream homes. But a few simple strategies can make their offers stand out and increase their chances of buy-ing their ideal homes.

When selling their homes, homeowners can employ several strategies in an effort to drum up interest among potential buyers. One such strategy is to host an open house, which invites prospective buyers to tour the property.

Realtors have long used open houses to intro-duce properties to the market, and a well-planned open house can help sellers generate numerous of-fers in a single day. Whether working with a real-tor or listing homes on their own, homeowners can follow a few simple tips to ensure their open house is a success.

• Generate publicity online. Nowadays many

prospective home buyers do the bulk of their re-search via their computers and devices. By adver-tising their open houses online, sellers have the po-tential to reach a wide array of buyers. Many real estate agents employ sites such as Zillow.com and Trulia.com to promote open houses and showcase properties, so sellers can make sure their agents are taking advantage of these wildly popular sites. Some even allow sellers to list their homes on apps that buyers can peruse on their smartphones.

• Generate publicity in traditional ways as well. Traditional publicity should not be overlooked when promoting an open house. A $5 “Open

House” lawn sign is an effective and inexpensive way to attract buyers who are driving through desirable neighborhoods looking for their next homes. While the Internet is a valuable resource to promote your open house, the sheer volume of online listings can make it hard to reach potential buyers. A traditional lawn sign and a listing in your local newspaper are budget-friendly promotional opportunities that can generate interest in your open house.

• Invite your neighbors. Neighbors can be great salesmen for your home and the community where you live. Invite friendly neighbors to your open house and encourage them to chat with prospective buyers. Buyers will appreciate neighbors’ fi rsthand knowledge about the community, and their friend-liness can help to create a strong fi rst impression that increases buyer interest in your home.

• Consider some changes to your home decor.

When hosting an open house, you might not need to go so far as to stage your home, but you may want to make some changes to the decor to make your home more neutral and appealing to buyers from all walks of life. Remove any potentially controversial artwork or decorative items, replac-ing them with more neutral items that won’t offend or distract any potential buyers.

• Leave the hosting to the professionals. Un-less you’re selling the home on your own, resist the temptation to attend your open house. Let your realtor do the work. Your absence can make it easier for potential buyers to see themselves in your home, while your presence may make them uncomfortable or hesitant to explore the property and ask any questions.

When hosting an open house, sellers can take several steps to make their homes more appealing to buyers.

8 Kingston Homefi nder.ca - Thursday, March 17, 2016

The housing market has begun to heat up thanks to an economy on the rebound. Few people aspire to rent for life, and home own-ership is a dream shared by both natives and immigrants who came to the country seeking a better life.

Each year the National Association of Re-altors compiles a profile of buyers and sellers that documents trends in the real estate mar-ket. Although the majority of first-time home buyers identify as white, the next largest group are Hispanics, who account for 11 per-cent of the market of first-time home buyers.

The rapidly growing Hispanic population is influencing all areas of modern living, in-cluding real estate. Estimates suggest that, between now and 2020, Hispanics, the second largest ethnic group in America, will account for 50 percent of new home buyers.

Over the last three decades, two of every five newcomers to the housing market were Hispanic, according to the National Associa-tion of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals. In addition to needing assistance finding their dream homes, Hispanic buyers also may need help securing loans to finance their upcoming home purchases.

Just this year ezDinero.com launched a multinational online alternate lending solu-tion that helps first-time borrowers connect with top experts who specialize in personal loans. The company works directly with the

Spanish-speaking market and serves as a me-diator between lenders and borrowers. The service is one of the few reputable online companies that can help first-time borrowers find financial solutions that meet their exact specifications and connect them with the top lenders in the industry.

Marina H. Gonzales, Director of Public Relations at ezDinero, states that there is a need for this type of bilingual service for the Spanish-speaking audience, which is under-served in the United States.

“ezDinero was created with the intent of giving the Spanish-speaking population an opportunity to meet their personal lending needs, especially for first-time borrowers,” Gonzales said.

This alternative lending solution is not the only option available to Hispanics. Some people find success through government as-sistance and grant programs geared toward the Hispanic community. The National Asso-ciation of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals can be an excellent resource for further in-formation, instructing people on how to ap-ply for loans, secure lower interest rates and qualify for loans even if you have a poor or brief credit history.

Hispanics wield more influence in the United States than ever before, and more and more Hispanics are making that influence known in the real estate market.
