A condo (condominium) is a residential unit within a larger building or community. The owner typically owns only the interior of the unit. Exterior areas and shared spaces — such as hallways, elevators, landscaping, pools, and parking areas — are collectively owned and managed by a homeowners association (HOA). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/76a67dbb-1ccd-4ce5-bfb8-f81dd96a6457/condo+vs+townhouse.png Blog - Condo vs. Townhouse: What Is a Townhouse? A townhouse is a multi-floor home that shares one or more walls with adjacent properties but has its own private entrance. In most cases, the owner holds title to both the interior and exterior structure, including the roof and sometimes the land it sits on (depending on the community rules). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/e6b151d5-8ad8-42df-b48e-dc5fbc2ffc42/foto+mls.png Blog - Condo vs. Townhouse: - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/6fe5bb96-6205-4eee-aa1d-2819e155b895/edi%C3%A7%C3%A3o+foto+paisagem.png Blog - Condo vs. Townhouse: - Which One Is Right for You?

Ashley McCollum, a Glidden paint color expert, describes Warm Mahogany as a timeless choice for the home. “DIYers are faced with selecting a color that fits within the larger lifestyle of a space, not just one prescribed function or moment in time,” she says. “We’re torn between colors that feel authentic, personal and safe, and those that give a rush of newness, risk and excitement.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/3d1060aa-547d-484c-ae93-c962e249f6fd/coty-bedroom-main.webp Blog -

Will This Be the Color Everyone Paints Their Room in 2026? - To keep the look dynamic, she suggests introducing a variety of textures alongside a touch of pattern. Natural wood, soft creams, greens, blush and terracotta tones also add balance to Warm Mahogany. “I’d also recommend muted serene art in greens and warm reds, antique brass accents and layers of lighting in the room,” she says. In the kitchen, Warm Mahogany pairs well with matte black or brass hardware for a sleek, modern look. It makes a statement both as a single wall color or behind open shelving, according to Glidden’s color experts. The versatile hue can also add warmth to a cozy reading nook or bring richness to a modern traditional dining space. “With inviting vibes that make every meal feel like a special occasion, it is deep enough to add drama, but still chill enough to keep things relaxed,” a press release from Glidden says. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/d74b729b-653f-42b0-a579-36c8f44fa0bd/flodesk+faixas++%2810.292+x+1.323+cm%29+%281%29.png Blog - Will This Be the Color Everyone Paints Their Room in 2026? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c34ef56f-0a6f-41e0-9c5f-c18adf0ecac8/_editar+assinatura+flodesk+%286%29.png Blog - Will This Be the Color Everyone Paints Their Room in 2026? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/frontporch monthly 0.5 2025-09-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/36a4f252-fcb3-4ee6-8459-e9b05bfd8f3d/Screenshot2025-08-06142600-e8ff0c02c220475882368c0567bf6fa9-85e89a73bd0a4f1a945f9734a0ed2d7e.webp Blog - 5 Fall Front Porch Trends You'll See Everywhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/64ffccf4-7f6f-4167-94b7-bc31811661f4/EmilyHenderson-2425b28ba4004dafa1fa88daa4b30d01.webp Blog - 5 Fall Front Porch Trends You'll See Everywhere - Before adding decor pieces, you need a strong base to work with, and designers like Bellajdel believe that soft neutrals, like beige or taupe, are the perfect backdrop to help other colors pop without feeling overwhelming. If your home already features soft, neutral tones, you have a great base to work with. However, Bellajdel states that you can incorporate these tones using other decor items as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1756409477752-KW5CWA11AO759QJE19BI/unsplash-image-A80dxPQunKs.jpg Blog - 5 Fall Front Porch Trends You'll See Everywhere - Incorporate Natural Textures Bellajdel recommends layering in materials that offer a natural texture after your base is set. She notes that a braided jute rug or a hand-woven rattan basket is an excellent addition, but natural textures can be introduced through other materials such as wood, leather, or even natural foliage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/66370a5f-0633-49cb-b6e1-819cc8cd95d6/Screenshot2025-08-11194836-bb11e0297e1a468086c0a92e9b9aedbb.webp Blog - 5 Fall Front Porch Trends You'll See Everywhere - Add Pops of Deep, Rich Fall Tones Fall decor isn't complete without autumn-inspired hues, and designers believe this year, deep, rich choices are the way to go. "Look for deep, inviting colors like mocha or a jewel-toned maroon. A pop of burnt orange can still be used, but in a muted tone that feels sun-faded and vintage. For a bit more of a modern twist, add a touch of plum," says Bellajdel. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/92f019ef-a9d9-47d1-8845-ea8a073121ca/GettyImages-1432736508-1f93331ec4fd4a09a4db6fac1facc43f.webp Blog - 5 Fall Front Porch Trends You'll See Everywhere - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/400ac2c8-64b2-4183-8019-b2a18208e3d9/Screenshot2025-08-08101143-196d10c939154a319e1458cfd33ef630.webp Blog - 5 Fall Front Porch Trends You'll See Everywhere - Decorating any space is elevated when personal, individual choices are added, and your front porch is no exception. King suggests that unique, one-of-a-kind planters featuring seasonal plants may become a trend we could see more of this year, particularly as DIY and sustainable accents continue to gain popularity. "Handmade ceramic vessels, vintage wooden stands, or weathered stools can add layers of character and warmth," explains King. "Take the time to explore local shops or fall markets. Pieces with a story make your porch feel personal and lived-in." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/d74b729b-653f-42b0-a579-36c8f44fa0bd/flodesk+faixas++%2810.292+x+1.323+cm%29+%281%29.png Blog - 5 Fall Front Porch Trends You'll See Everywhere https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c34ef56f-0a6f-41e0-9c5f-c18adf0ecac8/_editar+assinatura+flodesk+%286%29.png Blog - 5 Fall Front Porch Trends You'll See Everywhere - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/nostalgicstyles monthly 0.5 2025-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/0351fcf4-a984-4fa8-96f4-7c453f5594b3/1.webp Blog - These 3 Nostalgic Styles Have Transformed Home Decor—and We Still Love Them https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/4f1e55a5-efa8-4f23-8aad-966f83be648b/2.webp Blog - These 3 Nostalgic Styles Have Transformed Home Decor—and We Still Love Them - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/767a8ebe-dc2c-4aee-b2be-aa473ae39412/166763-15944240-657fe43e.jpg Blog - These 3 Nostalgic Styles Have Transformed Home Decor—and We Still Love Them - Yes, that Y2K glow is lighting up homes again.

Back then, sales of flower crowns rose by 190% from 2010 to 2014. Today, the renaissance is led by “boho macrame” decor, which is up nearly 400% in searches. From woven wall hangings to knotted plant holders, macrame brings texture and soul into any space. And in true boho fashion, the look is all about layering and self-expression. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/3527e0a4-2461-49f6-b91e-db923ab6b692/Recanto-de-Historias-e-Cores-Daniela-Funari-Arquitetura.webp Blog - These 3 Nostalgic Styles Have Transformed Home Decor—and We Still Love Them - A Handmade Time Capsule For those looking to take an even deeper dive into decor history, Etsy’s newly launched Trend Lookback is a curated journey through the platform’s 20-year evolution, from tie dye and cottagecore to dopamine decor and maximalism.

But in recent years, it's gone too far, explains Holland. "Once the darling of the open and airy aesthetic, few people are willing deal with the dust, grease and clutter open shelves tends to attract. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/3336b21f-7a21-486b-8f5a-fc3f8f9d8a43/capa+flodesk++%281%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 2 - Marble Overload While marble is timeless and chic, the marble overboard aesthetic is going away in 2025. "Statement-making, heavily-veined slabs used for countertops, walls, backsplash, floors, even the ceiling demanded too much attention and seldom reflected the homeowner's personality. A whole room? Too much." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c1085d5b-e025-4f7d-9799-e9794eb72a2e/materia-++INTERIOR+DESIGN+%282%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 2 - Grout Gone Wild While grout is a necessary part of any bathroom, over-the-top grout is a trend going away in 2025. Holland tells me, "It's time to flush this trend down the toilet. The use of prominent, contrasting grout for tile and backsplashes promised to offer a detour from decades of unimaginative gray and white grout. But truthfully, this mismatched look appears visually chaotic, especially in compact spaces." So, it's best to match the grout to the tile and keep the lines as small as possible. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1aef55cf-e45e-4d28-9874-a1b3e271be83/materia-++INTERIOR+DESIGN+%283%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 2 - Art Deco While Art Deco is beautiful in authentic spaces like restaurants, Holland tells me people are tired of trying to incorporate it into a home. "This over-the-top style is often too dominating for everyday living. Art Deco is enticing in art and in theaters, not so much in a home with drooling pets and messy toddlers." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/d74b729b-653f-42b0-a579-36c8f44fa0bd/flodesk+faixas++%2810.292+x+1.323+cm%29+%281%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 2 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c34ef56f-0a6f-41e0-9c5f-c18adf0ecac8/_editar+assinatura+flodesk+%286%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 2 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/designtrends1 monthly 0.5 2025-01-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/9189a687-bf7f-47b6-aa10-c1aabf1beffd/capa+flodesk++%284%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/fa260b14-1314-4cb6-98f0-4183ecdcae43/materia-++Top+Home+Improvements+%281%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 1 Grey Flooring There is nothing that will look more dated than grey flooring in 2025. Frankly, it is something that many designers believe should have never existed in the first place. Grey wood doesn't exist in nature, so it's incredibly inauthentic and looks unnatural just about anywhere its installed. "This trend is officially canceled. Grey luxury vinyl plank floors serve a purpose in utilitarian waiting rooms, heavily trafficked apartment halls, and offices. Then they took over the home flooring industry and have become, to paraphrase a post on Reddit, a legit travesty," reveals Holland. So, while it’s unlikely homeowners will replace these style floors, especially if they are only a few years old, Holland advises anyone currently renovating their spaces to explore engineered materials and options like bamboo, cork, or tile in timeless warm brown tones. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/10fe887a-ce41-45fa-b645-2a957f153347/materia-++Top+Home+Improvements+%282%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 1 - Over The Top Maximalism Maximalism isn't going away but many designers and design enthusiasts have taken it way too far incorporating every trendy style and color, which makes a room feel more chaotic and muddy than eclectic. Interior designer Becky Shea tells me we're on the cusp of a transition toward a more restrained approach. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/ca3fcb1b-bbf9-4ee0-9390-fa84bd2f7365/materia-++Top+Home+Improvements+%283%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 1 - Minimalism However, this doesn't mean everything will swing the other way entirely. Pure minimalism is also going away in 2025 according to designer and HomeGoods Featured Finder, Ursula Carmona. "Folks are shifting towards a more layered and nuanced approach to design. Even those who prefer simple style and neutral colors are beginning to incorporate a variety of hues, textures, and overall depth like a leather accented armchair from HomeGoods paired with an emerald cashmere blanket and a marble side accent table from HomeGoods for under $100." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/19c36023-fbf6-4a0d-acf4-de4fb9ff5e5b/materia-++Top+Home+Improvements+%284%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 1 - Plain White Walls For years, plain white walls (and grey walls for that matter) have been on their way out. Creator and podcast host, Emily Coyne (also known as Emily O and Bows) tells me in 2025, more will be more when it comes to walls. "Simple walls will be replaced by patterned and detailed wall coverings, adding depth and character to interiors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/fbf213b7-7241-426f-bacf-6b07d8f379fe/capa+flodesk+.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 1 - Everything New What's old will be new and what’s new will be old in 2025. "I believe a shift we'll see in 2025 is moving away from the trend of every home decor piece being brand new," explains Coyne. "Instead, people will embrace original antique pieces—whether sourced from antique shops, passed down through family, or found second-hand. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/d74b729b-653f-42b0-a579-36c8f44fa0bd/flodesk+faixas++%2810.292+x+1.323+cm%29+%281%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 1 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c34ef56f-0a6f-41e0-9c5f-c18adf0ecac8/_editar+assinatura+flodesk+%286%29.png Blog - Interior Design Trends Going Away In 2025 - part 1 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/proximityfamily monthly 0.5 2025-01-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/5dfb120b-96e5-4801-969d-2fde939c108e/capa+flodesk+.png Blog - Proximity to Family and Friends, Affordability Drive Relocation Trends in 2024 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/0af252aa-c194-4565-8693-cbd66795c443/Materia+proximity+.png Blog - Proximity to Family and Friends, Affordability Drive Relocation Trends in 2024 U.S. Census Bureau data finds the top 20 states with the highest net migration in 2023 include Florida (372,870), Texas (315,301), North Carolina (126,712), South Carolina (91,853), Georgia (88,325), Tennessee (76,471), Arizona (57,814), Alabama (36,128), Oklahoma (31,967), Ohio (28,718), Indiana (22,468), Arkansas (22,202), Virginia (21,132), Idaho (20,053), Wisconsin (19,301), Colorado (19,167), Missouri (19,023), Kentucky (16,592), Washington (13,643) and Nevada (12,908).

To help illustrate how easy it is to incorporate Pantone's color of the year, the company created five color palettes for inspiration as you refresh your home in the new year. The first palette, "Uniquely Balanced," features warm and cool tones, complementing and highlighting Mocha Mousse's calming subtlety. "Floral Pathways" offers springtime inspiration with floral tones, willow greens, and cobblestone grays. "Deliciousness" speaks for itself; the color palette includes shades of tasty treats. The "Subtle Contrasts" palette pinpoints a moodier vibe with browns, blues, and grays, and "Relaxed Elegance" provides the core base layers for setting up your neutral sanctuary. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/61d0b4ec-3195-4ec5-9370-f618ddcadb5f/materia++%281%29.png Blog - Pantone's 2025 Color of the Year Is a Toasty, Decadent Shade of Mocha - In the pursuit of sustainable living, there is a growing movement to align ourselves more closely with the natural world. Surrounding ourselves with organic products, materials, and colors tied to natural pigments helps us to feel more deeply connected to our environment. We think of these colors as being stable, grounded, and honest, and because of their place in our natural world, we consider them to be timeless. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/d74b729b-653f-42b0-a579-36c8f44fa0bd/flodesk+faixas++%2810.292+x+1.323+cm%29+%281%29.png Blog - Pantone's 2025 Color of the Year Is a Toasty, Decadent Shade of Mocha https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c34ef56f-0a6f-41e0-9c5f-c18adf0ecac8/_editar+assinatura+flodesk+%286%29.png Blog - Pantone's 2025 Color of the Year Is a Toasty, Decadent Shade of Mocha - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/besttime monthly 0.5 2024-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/8fa0331f-89f2-4cec-9452-2d95e93eab36/materia.jpg Blog - Right Now May Be the Best Time for Homebuyers in 5 Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/24847a6e-66a6-40a7-b964-57c944aa051e/Design+sem+nome.png Blog - Right Now May Be the Best Time for Homebuyers in 5 Years - The housing stock is way up The level of housing stock is one of the biggest indicators of the kind of housing market buyers and sellers are in. And now, buyers have more housing choices than they’ve had since 2019. There is roughly 4.3 months of inventory on the market, according to the latest data from the National Association of Realtors®. “This is the longest stint of four-plus months of supply in five years,” says Hannah Jones, Realtor.com® senior economic research analyst. That’s a huge shift from the conditions buyers have faced recently. And while it’s true that the number of homes on the market is due in part to slower sales activity, there are plenty of fresh listings to choose from. In fact, new listings rose by 4.9% from the previous year. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/a6b10cba-3b5c-43ab-97d1-8914f105d382/1.png Blog - Right Now May Be the Best Time for Homebuyers in 5 Years - On the brink of a buyer’s market While the data does not yet justify a true “buyer’s market,” according to Jones, it does suggest the market is balanced. This means “buyers are in a better position than they have been in years. ” If seller activity continues to exceed buyer activity and housing stock continues to build, the market might finally start to lean more toward a buyer’s market, which would be music to homebuyers’ ears. “For buyers who have been waiting on the sidelines, now might be the perfect time to make a move,” says Wall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/d74b729b-653f-42b0-a579-36c8f44fa0bd/flodesk+faixas++%2810.292+x+1.323+cm%29+%281%29.png Blog - Right Now May Be the Best Time for Homebuyers in 5 Years https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c34ef56f-0a6f-41e0-9c5f-c18adf0ecac8/_editar+assinatura+flodesk+%286%29.png Blog - Right Now May Be the Best Time for Homebuyers in 5 Years - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/maximize-profit monthly 0.5 2024-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/721965c4-2795-4e29-9696-50dda2ce87b8/capa+flodesk+.png Blog - Top Home Improvements for Sellers to Maximize Profit https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/2bcd54e1-789c-48ac-9f5a-50db0561825a/materia-++Top+Home+Improvements+%281%29.png Blog - Top Home Improvements for Sellers to Maximize Profit - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/4e9abb67-d339-457c-8985-8d611945c7bd/materia-++Top+Home+Improvements+%282%29.png Blog - Top Home Improvements for Sellers to Maximize Profit - Get Ready to Sell With Confidence Ready to sell your home faster and for top dollar?

How long do I plan to stay in the home? You'll get the most financial benefit from a home purchase if you own the property for at least five years. There are costs associated with buying and selling a home, and it may take time for the property’s value to rise enough to offset those expenditures. The longer you own a property, the more you are likely to benefit from its appreciation. If you plan to sell in less than five years, a home purchase may not be the best choice for you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/aa394d78-79c0-42b2-b490-01d71602b094/Buy+Now+or+Rent+Longer++%282%29.png Blog - Buy Now or Rent Longer?  - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/d74b729b-653f-42b0-a579-36c8f44fa0bd/flodesk+faixas++%2810.292+x+1.323+cm%29+%281%29.png Blog - Buy Now or Rent Longer?  https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c34ef56f-0a6f-41e0-9c5f-c18adf0ecac8/_editar+assinatura+flodesk+%286%29.png Blog - Buy Now or Rent Longer?  - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/halloween monthly 0.5 2024-11-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/37ef8232-72ce-4581-a4a5-08fc24604015/capa+flodesk+.png Blog - How Orange and Black Became the Unofficial Colors of Halloween https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/637efb3a-6459-4a0a-a7e3-a91d92fd5ee9/capa+flodesk++%281%29.png Blog - How Orange and Black Became the Unofficial Colors of Halloween - Halloween gained popularity in the U.S. in the early 20th century, particularly after The Dennison Manufacturing Company introduced orange and black crepe paper decorations.

A new coat of paint can make your home more inviting to today’s guests and tomorrow’s buyers. But before you grab that paintbrush, think carefully about your choice of hue. According to a recent study, the color of your front door can boost—or lower—your home's sale price by thousands of dollars. Cement gray, for instance, was found to decrease purchase offers by an average of $3,365. Going too bold can also deter home shoppers. The safest bets? Classic black or a mid-tone brown are proven winners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/8c349245-8518-4185-b916-860e5314d90d/flodesk++%281%29.png Blog - 7 Weekend Projects to Boost Your Property Value - Upgrade Your Hardware and Lighting It's easy to overlook dated cabinet pulls or dingy light switches in your own home.

If your kitchen cabinets are from another era, that’s probably the first place you’ll want to start. Fortunately, you don’t need to commit to the hassle and expense of installing new cabinets if your current ones are in good shape. Instead, consider painting them. Not only is it more affordable and eco-friendly than replacement, but Better Homes and Gardens reports that this option typically offers a greater return on investment. When it comes to choosing the right color, warm neutrals and shades of green and blue are especially on-trend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/bae12c1d-6b50-4347-99de-dd8fa5f7db4f/flodesk++%283%29.png Blog - 7 Weekend Projects to Boost Your Property Value - Look at Your Landscaping First impressions matter, and putting some work into your home’s exterior can make a big difference in how your guests and neighbors view it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/2747ce9d-8cc0-4f92-acf7-d9dfe441919c/foto+retrato+%282%29.png Blog - 7 Weekend Projects to Boost Your Property Value - Refinish Your Wood Floors For many buyers, wood floors are a huge selling point. Unfortunately, they also tend to get scuffed and worn over time, especially if you have kids or pets. The good news? If your wood floors could use a touch-up, it’s well worth the time and cost. According to the National Association of Realtors, it’s the project that pays off the most in terms of resale value, with an average 147% return on investment. If you have a few days to devote to your floors, you can rent the necessary equipment from a local hardware store. While you’re there, pick up some basic supplies, like a putty knife, paintbrushes, sandpaper, and stain. And if you want to modernize your space, opt for a lighter wood tone, which is the current trend. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/243de0e8-5bdb-4d1e-9feb-9fb12699806e/foto+retrato+%283%29.png Blog - 7 Weekend Projects to Boost Your Property Value - Clean or Replace Your Grout Let’s face it: Whether it’s on a kitchen floor or a bathroom wall, grout gets grimy over time, even with regular cleaning. Fortunately, refreshing your grout is a relatively simple and affordable project that can yield impressive results. According to Apartment Therapy, grout that’s in poor condition is often one of the first things a potential buyer notices when they tour a bathroom. Fresh, clean grout, on the other hand, makes your bathroom sparkle—and that can pay off in a big way in terms of buyer’s perceptions. If your grout is simply stained, a focused cleaning session can make a big difference. Try a specialized product or a simple mix of baking soda, water, and hydrogen peroxide. If the grout is cracked, crumbling, or stained beyond repair, it’s time to replace it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/283943e2-66bb-47c9-924e-4fa556041da0/flodesk++%285%29.png Blog - 7 Weekend Projects to Boost Your Property Value - CHOOSING THE PROJECT THAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU Embarking on home improvements can be exciting, but it's essential to choose projects that align with your goals, budget, and skill level.

Plus, it may help you get off the fence, if you’ve been hesitant to sell due to today’s rates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/fc30b03e-586a-4824-80aa-a9fb4d7d68ba/flodesk++%284%29.png Blog - Housing Market Forecast: What’s Ahead for the 2nd Half of 2024 The average of the three forecasts is about 5 million sales in 2024 – a small increase from 2023.

Experts now speculate that the first benchmark rate cut will come no sooner than September. While mortgage rates aren’t directly tied to the federal funds rate, they do tend to move in tandem. So, homebuyers hoping for a cheaper mortgage will have to remain patient. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/6ab07d0b-5587-45c9-aaae-a71901c918e3/_Mid-Year+Market+Update.png Blog - Mid-Year Market Update for 2024: - I’M HERE TO GUIDE YOU While national housing reports can give you a “big picture” outlook, much of real estate is local.

Renting can be a good option if you’re new to town, especially if you’re still saving up for a downpayment or you’re not ready to commit to a permanent location. Benefits include flexibility, less maintenance, and lower upfront costs. But, if you want to avoid multiple moves—and you’re financially able—there’s no reason to delay the benefits of buying a home. Not only has homeownership been shown to increase your quality of life, but it’s also one of the best ways to protect and grow your wealth. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/a71d140e-1eaa-4d0f-848e-fc4da3d90348/6.png Blog - The Ultimate Relocation Guide: - 4 - PLAN YOUR DEPARTURE Preparing for a move can be both exhilarating and exhausting.

The rule states that you should spend no more than 28% of your gross monthly income on housing expenses (e.g., mortgage, taxes, insurance) and a maximum of 36% of your gross monthly income on your total debt obligations (i.e., housing expenses PLUS any other debt obligations, like car loans, student loans, credit card debt, etc.). Of course, the 28/36 rule only provides a rough guideline. Getting pre-qualified or pre-approved for a mortgage BEFORE you begin shopping for homes will give you a much more accurate idea of how much you can borrow. Add your pre-approved mortgage amount to your downpayment to find out your maximum purchasing potential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1712179234154-2J80PGWH8S2L0B7UQF9C/image-asset.jpeg Blog - 5 Steps to Finding Your Next Home - STEP 4: Decide Which Features You Need (and Want) in a Home Start with the basics, like your ideal number of bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. Do you prefer a one-story or two-story layout? Do you want a swimming pool? Keep in mind, you may not find a home with all of your “wants,” or even all of your “needs” … at least not at a price you can afford. The reality is, most of us have to make a few compromises when it comes to buying a home. Some buyers will opt for a longer commute to get a larger, newer home in the suburbs. Others will sacrifice hardwood floors or an updated kitchen so that their kids can attend their desired school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/9cb6f36f-47e7-46a6-aa44-b2d9580c1245/flodesk+faixas+.png Blog - 5 Steps to Finding Your Next Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c34ef56f-0a6f-41e0-9c5f-c18adf0ecac8/_editar+assinatura+flodesk+%286%29.png Blog - 5 Steps to Finding Your Next Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/downsizeyourhome monthly 0.5 2024-04-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/a8151f6c-ecd8-49f0-ac91-dd63e07cbc4b/3.png Blog - Downsize Your Home, Rightsize Your Life: How to Choose the Ideal Smaller Home - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1711574060218-JMMYUU0GG1BJ74WUSE7T/image-asset.jpeg Blog - Downsize Your Home, Rightsize Your Life: How to Choose the Ideal Smaller Home - Action item: Grab a pen and take some time to envision what your ideal future might look like.

Spa-Like Bathrooms We could all use a little more relaxation in our lives—so why not bring the spa into your home? In 2024, more homeowners will remodel their bathrooms to turn them into personal oases. If you’re undertaking a renovation, consider upgrading fixtures and materials. Handmade tile and custom cabinetry can add a touch of style and luxury. Trade stark whites for warm neutrals to create a more relaxed feel—think light wood tones, creams, and beiges. Complete the look with soft ambient lighting from a backlit mirror or pair of decorative sconces. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/91a42681-7300-47de-b6e4-bdc6ff52ce4c/Design+sem+nome.png Blog - Upgrade Your Home With These 2024 Design Trends - 3. Japandi Style Not quite ready to embrace maximalism? Japandi style, which blends Japanese and Scandinavian influences, offers a more subdued approach that still has plenty of character. The look dates back about 150 years to a time when many Scandinavian designers were traveling to Japan for inspiration. Japandi style brings together clean lines, simplicity, and a focus on natural elements and light. It emphasizes the beauty in imperfection, or “wabi sabi,” and a deep connection to Mother Earth. And like Scandinavian decor, the look prioritizes comfort and a sense of sanctuary in the home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/549a0f1f-bb3f-4c2a-8c71-5a2c163dd0e6/1707927884903.png Blog - Upgrade Your Home With These 2024 Design Trends - 6.

For instance, let’s say that your gross monthly income is $5,000. You have a total of $2,000 of recurring debt obligations, which include a car loan, rent, and a credit card balance. To calculate your DTI ratio, you can divide your minimum payment and debts ($2,000) by your gross monthly income ($5,000). In this scenario, the result would be 0.40, or 40%. Generally speaking, you want your DTI to be 50% or less because this provides enough financial leeway to cover other expenses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/4f217680-fb7e-4a2c-a6ea-23254359c062/flodesk+faixas++%281%29.png Blog - How to Lower Debt to Income (DTI) Ratio for Mortgage - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c34ef56f-0a6f-41e0-9c5f-c18adf0ecac8/_editar+assinatura+flodesk+%286%29.png Blog - How to Lower Debt to Income (DTI) Ratio for Mortgage - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/lower-mortgage-rates monthly 0.5 2024-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/f0e8d866-b8f4-41ca-aaa3-09e5cdaa36a9/mat%C3%A9ria.png Blog - What Lower Mortgage Rates Mean for Your Purchasing Power - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1ad6ea89-6612-4132-bf9f-23e21971bd1b/20240108-Mortgage-Rates-Fall-Below-Seven-Percent.png Blog - What Lower Mortgage Rates Mean for Your Purchasing Power - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c8b1bed2-c61b-4779-a8f7-d92c84100a27/20240108-Buyers-Purchasing-Power.png Blog - What Lower Mortgage Rates Mean for Your Purchasing Power - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/5768c811-6eaa-4e27-beae-e5e38bbe5dd0/1+ASSINATURAS+ATUAIS.png Blog - What Lower Mortgage Rates Mean for Your Purchasing Power https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/things monthly 0.5 2024-01-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/2f8d9758-040d-4c92-891c-4ffa687547c9/Things+To+Consider+If+Your+House+Didn%E2%80%99t+Sell+%282%29.png Blog - Things To Consider If Your House Didn’t Sell - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/a84ec462-14c9-4d91-a24e-83227528bbb6/flodesk+CARTAO+%282%29.png Blog - Things To Consider If Your House Didn’t Sell https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/foreclosures-wont-crash-the-housing-market monthly 0.5 2024-02-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1dfcc776-9d34-4480-b972-d1439447a1ef/foreclosure++Real+Estate+Briefs.png Blog - Foreclosures Won’t Crash the Housing Market - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/9005ebad-d100-4845-b5fb-a6aeb069d61e/foreclosure++Real+Estate+Briefs.png Blog - Foreclosures Won’t Crash the Housing Market In recent years, the number of foreclosures has been very low. That’s because, in 2020 and 2021, the forbearance program and other relief options were put in place to help many homeowners stay in their homes during that tough time. When the moratorium ended, there was an expected rise in foreclosures. But just because they’re up, that doesn't mean the housing market is in trouble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/6a6bec85-9408-43a2-8362-01a8dc571a5e/BANKRUPTCIES+%282%29.png Blog - Foreclosures Won’t Crash the Housing Market The financial trouble many industries and small businesses felt during the pandemic didn’t cause a dramatic increase in bankruptcies. Still, the number of bankruptcies has gone up slightly since last year, nearly returning to 2021 levels. But that isn’t cause for alarm. The numbers for 2021 and 2022 were lower than more typical years. That’s in part because the government provided trillions of dollars in aid to individuals and businesses during the pandemic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/4f217680-fb7e-4a2c-a6ea-23254359c062/flodesk+faixas++%281%29.png Blog - Foreclosures Won’t Crash the Housing Market - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/c34ef56f-0a6f-41e0-9c5f-c18adf0ecac8/_editar+assinatura+flodesk+%286%29.png Blog - Foreclosures Won’t Crash the Housing Market - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/fall-decoration-tips-make-your-home-cozy monthly 0.5 2023-12-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/863e0357-ccaf-4be8-9ad8-1da50653dfae/outono-1536x864.png Blog - Fall Decoration Tips: Make Your Home Cozy - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/a1f61503-4098-4108-9744-12987a8c0643/Tons-Terrosos.png Blog - Fall Decoration Tips: Make Your Home Cozy - Earthy Tones: Browns and oranges are quintessential autumn colors.

The most common method of increases in property values is based on market demand. When interest rates are low and the economy is strong, more buyers enter the market and the demand for homes outpaces the amount on the market. This is what’s known as a “seller’s market.” When this happens, the value of homes rise and equity rises along with it. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1618250941386-Z24XNZ695UB33NOTRKIK/paper-house-with-coins-and-dollar-bills-vector.jpg Blog - What is Equity? Renovations and home improvements can also add to the value of the home; thus increasing equity. Updated kitchens and bathrooms, adding extra square footage, remodeling the back yard or adding a pool can create more than the dollar-for-dollar increase in value. A well maintained, upgraded home will always command a higher sale price than its run-down counterpart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1618250723323-A7G0PQ798TU43OM2D6C2/h.jpg Blog - What is Equity? - Using your Equity Having equity in your home provides financial security. But not only does it provide peace of mind, it can be used, even without selling the property. Receive cash when selling – Of course the first and most obvious use of equity is to have money left over when you sell your home. This can be used to buy a new home, for retirement or to add to savings. Borrow against the equity – A second home loan allows the homeowner to take some, or all, of the equity out of the home to use for investment, home improvement, as a buffer if converting the home to a rental and any number of other uses. Buying a property and building equity is one of the biggest advantages of homeownership. As rental rates continue to rise, a 30 year mortgage payment stays the same, protecting against inflation. With each payment, the borrower pays more principal and less interest. As the market appreciates and equity increases, the property provides an asset which not only provides the owners a home to enjoy, but a financial investment that continues to grow in value.

Instead, homeowners are increasingly using their kitchen islands as a work, study, and leisure area—in addition to a place to prepare food. "Larger kitchen islands are here to stay," says Ariana Lovato, owner and principal designer of Honeycomb Home Design in Shell Beach, CA. "People want to have as many workspaces as possible, with the kids now doing virtual school. Large islands also make kitchens less transitional spaces and more of a central place to hang out in the home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1614267846653-5SR7R7VM5T5S2L7201JF/c1722e2d482b91978fc53dba02ef1a61.jpg Blog - Secret Rooms and Futuristic Features! - Open layouts have been beloved in recent years for eliminating barriers between the kitchen, living, and dining spaces in order to bring family members together and make entertaining easier. But now those large spaces are being rethought due to their lack of privacy. "That doesn't necessarily mean that the traditionally walled-off spaces will return," says Costa. "But you can expect to see more privacy niches, sound dampening materials, kitchen desk/nook/workstation areas, and quiet corners in 2021." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1614198437387-WL2ITG8M6YMCEW2BJ8SQ/c6d74f65fd42abf774f779e0b5bf6da8w-c0xd-w685_h860_q80.jpg Blog - Secret Rooms and Futuristic Features! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1614198555651-X8J8NFEIIYAVUGUF9R6S/goodhue-house-apartment-emergent-form-architecture-img_2fc10a420c7842d9_8-7254-1-bcbb4e6.jpg Blog - Secret Rooms and Futuristic Features! "We've all heard the suggestion that adding hardware to cabinetry is considered an upgrade, but when done right, handleless design feels high-end," says Borneman-Street. Handleless drawers and cabinet doors also lend a futuristic look, giving a kitchen a sleek feel with clean lines. "The totally seamless design creates an effortless flow throughout the kitchen," adds Borneman-Street. Bonus: Cabinetry without handles tends to be easier and quicker to clean and sanitize, too—a new essential feature in this pandemic era. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1614199049642-J476N2T55Y3O52PX0I3W/glamorous-kitchen-remodel-cindy-aplanalp-and-chairma-design-group-img_e2f103770cad03b2_8-4490-1-f2f7e87.jpg Blog - Secret Rooms and Futuristic Features! The all-white kitchen has been on its way out for the past several years, and we've collectively become more comfortable dipping our toe back into the color pool. Well, this year, expect to dive into the deep end. "Deep blue, charcoal, and dark green are all big color stories for 2021," says Mark Cutler of Los Angeles' Mark Cutler Design. (Bonus: Darker colors are also more effective at hiding stains.) Color is showing up in appliances, too, with a swing away from endless stainless steel into reds, blues, and custom colors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1614201485325-1L1AHDLUIX1ECVJOCO48/lg-studio-lg-studio-img_e491ff51095d070e_8-6106-1-1946b63.jpg Blog - Secret Rooms and Futuristic Features! The popularity of smart appliances has been steadily growing over the past few years, but the coronavirus pandemic has kicked that trend into overdrive. "A refrigerator that can track what you're running low on and reorders for you feels less like a bells and whistles extra and more like a superuseful feature when you're already using food delivery services," says KB Designers Network's Costa. And since hygiene issues are top of mind, you can also expect to see smart kitchen features such as touchless faucets. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1614200867536-UCZTWQ3FJU04Q4OIOQSS/traditional.jpg Blog - Secret Rooms and Futuristic Features! Looking to add a little mystery to your space? Try this one on for size. "One kitchen design trend we've seen popping up is a secret scullery feature where you think you're opening a large cabinet door in the kitchen, but it leads to an entirely new room," says Ryan Fitzgerald, owner of uphomes in Charlotte, NC. The scullery is an extremely versatile room for the kitchen, because it allows you to keep the room picture-perfect. "The items you wish weren't always sitting on the kitchen counter but are, well, they can now be hidden away in the scullery," says Fitzgerald. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1614265596461-BTUDGEVYKRWXS0BXNSTG/country-kitchen-inspiration-signature-kitchen-suite-img_5cc150e70a3d475b_8-5273-1-fa88c9a.jpg Blog - Secret Rooms and Futuristic Features! - With gyms closed in many localities, people are scrutinizing their diets more carefully. And as a result, the interest in healthy cooking options such as steam, sous vide, and air fryer has exploded, says Costa. Expect this trend to continue into 2021 and beyond, particularly as more ranges now offer multiple cooking capabilities that help to avoid the clutter of endless countertop appliances. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/political-power-shift-could-generate-changes-in-the-us-luxury-housing-market monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1613597327452-NZQ4WFYIMGC377JRB447/im-297688.jfif Blog - Political Power Shift Could Generate Changes in the U.S. Luxury Housing Market https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/bundle-up-winters-home-buying-game-has-changed-heres-how-to-win monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1612364721847-5B88Y6RTAAM37LSL7PJD/Buying+a+home+campaign+pic.PNG Blog - Bundle Up!

The for-sale housing market showed incredible strength in 2020, and we expect 2021 will be even stronger. As prices keep climbing month-over-month, it just shows the resilience of the US housing market in the face of an ongoing economic recession. Annual home sales growth is expected to be the highest in almost 40 years as life and financial certainty brings more sellers into the market to meet the heavy demand and technology allows for faster connections with interested buyers. The global pandemic shattered the world order and the US economy suffered its biggest blow since the Great Depression in the second quarter. The for-sale housing market showed incredible strength in 2020, and we expect 2021 will be even stronger. As prices keep climbing month-over-month, it just shows the resilience of the US housing market in the face of an ongoing economic recession. Annual home sales growth is expected to be the highest in almost 40 years as life and financial certainty brings more sellers into the market to meet the heavy demand and technology allows for faster connections with interested buyers. Land and material availability and a persistent skilled labor shortage will continue to place upward pressure on construction costs resulting in limited housing supply. As the economy improves with the deployment of a COVID-19 vaccine, interest rates will increase in 2021, further challenging housing affordability in the face of strong demand for single-family homes. Nevertheless, the pandemic has increased the desire for houses with a bit more space and a garden. Couple that with record-low interest rates, and prices are rising dramatically all over the country from urban-to-suburban markets. The combination of intense demand and the low mortgage rates has pushed home prices to levels that are making it difficult to save for a down payment, particularly among first-time buyers. While we still face economic and health challenges ahead, industry experts believe the housing market will remain strong and is set to break more records in 2021 for housing sales, rents, and home prices. A report from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York found that the median household expects to increase their spending by 3.7% in the next twelve months, the most optimistic outlook since 2016. Mortgage Rates have hit a new record low in the first week of 2021. Mortgage applications increased 1.1 percent from one week earlier, according to data from the Mortgage Bankers Association's (MBA) Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey for the week ending December 11, 2020. Despite a full percentage point decline in rates over the past year, housing affordability has decreased because the effect of lower mortgage rates (for buyers) is being evened out by double-digit home price growth. According to some industry sources, rates are expected to rise modestly in 2021. The combination of rising mortgage rates and increasing home prices will accelerate the decline in affordability and further squeeze potential home buyers during the spring home sales season. According to Bankrate’s latest survey of the nation’s largest mortgage lenders, the benchmark 30-year fixed mortgage rate is 2.840%. According to Realtor.com, the December national median listing price was $340,000, up 13.4% compared to last year. Large metros saw an average price gain of 8.8% compared to last year. Assuming a buyer provided a 20% down payment, the principal and interest payments on the mortgage would have been $1,669 a month. Contrast that with December 2019, when the median price was around $300K and the average interest rate on a 30-year mortgage was around 3.58%, according to Freddie Mac. A buyer faced a payment of $1,579, or $90 less a month than what he is paying now. Assume that builders and sellers had met buyer demand, keeping prices flat over the year. Lower mortgage rates would have resulted in a monthly payment of $1,482, or a savings of $97 a month as compared to a year before. Therefore, low mortgage rates help but don't eliminate the risk of affordability crunch that the housing market could still face if home prices continue to rise at a rapid pace. But if rates stay this way or possibly even go a little lower in 2021, then it will keep the homebuyers active and they would keep the housing market afloat.

Flip the switch on the base to make the blades rotate counterclockwise for a cooling effect or clockwise to help distribute heat in the winter.

Planting one shade tree on the west side and one on the east side of your home can shield your home from the sun during the summer months (but avoid south-side trees, which block winter sun).

Like most homeowners last tax season, you may have discovered that you can no longer write off your property taxes or claim the mortgage interest deduction. That doesn’t necessarily mean your taxes went up. The change is because the standard deduction doubled, negating many homeowners’ need to itemize their home-related expenses. Here's a roundup of the rules affecting homeowners. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1605895062212-TK1FEXEP75D0WGCN5CU0/HOWMUCHISTHECOMMISSION.jpg Blog - Can I Claim The Mortgage Interest Deduction? - So are you still itemizing, or are you now in standard deduction land?

Just choose your starting point on this checklist: https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1605633665339-8H71MQLOH31BCRQW4RNU/handyman-tools-1.jpg Blog - Cleaning Your House for Guests: A Checklist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1605635887542-X78LDJU18MAZ3DCUW5W4/20-ways-to-declutter-your-home-BLOG.jpg Blog - Cleaning Your House for Guests: A Checklist Declutter again. Vacuum and dust guest rooms. If they're low-traffic, the cleanliness should hold with just a quick wipe-down right before they arrive. Wipe down walls. Wipe down kitchen and dining room chairs and tables, including the legs. You'd be surprised how grimy they get. Deep clean the entryway — and make room for your guests' stuff. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1605637850150-V2KEXZ8IZT0NA9PDDQU1/sincerely-media-qNL2VWctW2A-unsplash.jpg Blog - Cleaning Your House for Guests: A Checklist - 24 Hours to Go Your guests' bags are packed. Time for final touches. Do a final declutter - by now it shouldn't take more than five minutes. Give one final wipe-down to toilets, tubs, and bathroom sinks. And another final wipe-down in the kitchen. Do all the floors: mop, vacuum, sweep, etc. Make guest beds and set out clean towels. Plug in nightlights in guest baths. Put out guest toiletries so they're easy to find. Add a coffee or tea station in the guest room or kitchen. Get your favorite smell going, whether it's a scented candle, spices in water on the stove, or essential oils. Use rubber gloves to wipe off pet hair and dust from furniture. It works. Do the full red carpet: Sweep or shovel porch, steps, and outdoor walkways. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/are-closing-costs-tax-deductible monthly 0.5 2023-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1605210495991-351NABS3DYQW7FKLQQ7I/c6e74562794909726186ecab3454f72b.jpg Blog - Are Closing Costs Tax Deductible? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1964d08c-e820-4a8d-9df8-8194b17c5c76/1+ASSINATURAS+ATUAIS.png Blog - Are Closing Costs Tax Deductible? - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/4-landscaping-ideas-for-your-front-yard monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1604607041229-MXCDFGE22XCLPC4GLC78/yard2.jpg Blog - 4 Landscaping Ideas for Your Front Yard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1605113690717-DCJA0IM943Y2JXXPF9HZ/bloodgood-japanese-maple-4.jpg Blog - 4 Landscaping Ideas for Your Front Yard - The value of mature trees is particularly difficult to determine.

Expect to pay $50-$100 for a young, 6- to 7-foot deciduous tree. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1605114185251-4LBJYS72EHHIXYXEYJIE/landscape-curb-appeal-landscape-lights-retina_retina_c8e0302d17af1d548a06919d5339efd7.jpg Blog - 4 Landscaping Ideas for Your Front Yard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1605114485704-APH9SSBOBPX61Y3B4B5J/yard+3.jpeg Blog - 4 Landscaping Ideas for Your Front Yard Flower beds add color and help enliven otherwise plain areas, such as along driveways and the edges of walkways. In general, annual flowers are a bit cheaper but must be replaced every year. Perennials cost a bit more but come back annually and usually get larger or spread with each growing season. If you’re not sure what to plant, inquire at your local garden center. Often, they’ll have a display of bedding plants chosen for their adaptability to your area. Also, they‘ll be inexpensive because they’re in season, says Peter Mezitt, president of Weston Nurseries in Hopkinton, Mass. Try pansies in the summer, and asters and mums in the fall to add vibrant color. “That’s what we do around the entrance to our garden center,” Mezitt says. Valerie Torelli, a REALTOR® in California, who dresses up her clients’ yards to sell their houses faster and for more money, says that in her market, she can put in a bed of colorful annuals and bark, as well as cutting down overgrown shrubs, for less than $500. “We can buy gorgeous plants for $3.99 to $15.99,” she says. https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/guide-to-paint-finishes monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1604510795795-ULNDGE3V9DENO6F2JCJ8/lata-de-tinta-e-pincel-em-pano-de-fundo-duplo-de-menta-e-coral_23-2148102289.jpg Blog - Guide to Paint Finishes (So You Won’t Waste Your Money) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1605626491085-Z2LDZVRF5IA27WPLUSB8/C%C3%B3pia+de+Paints.png Blog - Guide to Paint Finishes https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/how-presidential-election-uncertainty-hurtsand-helpsthe-housing-market-mgj96 monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1604691098121-L39E8AJMF71TATMEJOH5/C%C3%B3pia+de+How+Presidential+Election+Uncertainty+Hurts%E2%80%94and+Helps%E2%80%94the+Housing+Market+%282%29.png Blog - How Presidential Election Uncertainty Hurts-and Helps-the Housing Market https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/how-to-organize-your-refrigerator monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1603992159310-TX0GPWIRJMJN3NPX50JV/refrigerator.png Blog - How To Organize Your Refrigerator https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/7-tips-and-tricks-to-keep-your-home-cleaner-longer monthly 0.5 2025-03-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1603909509297-3L8LHIUJOFKXW55LLZPO/como-limpar-tapete.jpg Blog - 7 Tips and Tricks to Keep Your Home Cleaner Longer - Use humidity, a car product, and more ‘wow’ ideas to save cleaning time.

Buyers might take one step inside and scratch the property from their list. Want to know how to increase the value of your home? Install new flooring. Replace what's worn out. Buyers don't want to deal with replacing carpet and giving an allowance is generally not attractive enough. If your home already has hardwood floors refinishing does the job. Expect to spend about $3,000 on the project — and recoup 100% of the cost, according to the "National Association of REALTORS® Remodeling Impact Report." Consider swapping any old flooring for new hardwood. This project costs more at around $5,500, but you could recoup more than 90% of that at resale. If that's not in the budget, any flooring update makes an enormous difference: wax and buff your hardwood floors yourself to save money. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1603819206611-YCT3G9L99QHBFAH7CQDF/ffcb859967c1c93a2ac059adfef57abf.jpg Blog - 7 Important Repairs To Make Before Selling A House - So super inexpensive — and even DIY-able.

Fixing the problem doesn't cost a ton of money — and you'll get it all back (and then some!) once you sell. Hiring a lawn care service to apply fertilizer and weed control will cost about $375. Once you sell the home, that comparatively cheap fix could recoup $1,000. That's an unbeatable 267% return on investment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1603820468227-Q22WBSXMQK7AOLPPVVQ4/metals_AdobeStock_249139347.jpg Blog - 7 Important Repairs To Make Before Selling A House https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/do-you-want-to-get-a-good-mortgage-rate monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1603807130978-QNGMPY58PHERQS39VGLI/220621-2000x1500-house-and-mortgage-rates.jpg Blog - Do You Want to Get a Good Mortgage Rate? https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/you-can-get-a-mortgage-with-a-low-credit-score monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1603224903297-Q145FZVBRDCLOBY0Q799/shutterstock_588521768.jpg Blog - You Can Get a Mortgage With a Low Credit Score https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1603231120903-4CJMDGPFO9PVNAC42866/tabela.png Blog - You Can Get a Mortgage With a Low Credit Score https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/how-do-i-access-my-home-equity-homeownerss-guide monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1603230384522-YZ0SRPI2CK2DBS8WWEN2/WhatsApp+Image+2020-03-25+at+17.31.39.jpeg Blog - How Do I Access My Home Equity? https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/what-is-home-equity monthly 0.5 2023-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/ae8be871-020f-48ea-8fc1-f0bbeafc5a9e/capa+FLODESK.png Blog - What Is Home Equity? https://cristinahomesusa.com/blog/strongtop-5-home-design-trends-for-a-new-decadestrong monthly 0.5 2022-09-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1601572304369-24CGJJ3H38B7ZEY1I8Y2/dicas-de-organizacao-de-marie-kondo.png Blog - Home Design Trends for a New Decade https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79ef21b6cc577ebd9c67d0/1601573079529-HI53CHWHISCUQNFXAT1N/84ae0afa2fdf8ddfd1d664cfe2ce500a.jpg Blog - Home Design Trends for a New Decade - Designers are moving away from cool grays, industrial finishes, and stark modernism. Now, there’s a big emphasis on creating warm and cozy spaces through color, texture, and shape. Gray has dominated the color palette for the past decade. This year, expect to see a move toward warmer neutrals, earth tones, and nature-inspired shades of blue and green. Warm metals, like gold and brass, will also continue to trend. And hardwood floors are heating up, as cool gray and whitewashed finishes fade in popularity. Expect to see a rise in classic choices like walnut, mahogany, and oak in richer and darker tones. . Furniture will also get cozier—and curvier—in 2021. From rounded sofas and curved-back chairs to oval dining tables, softened-angles are dominating the furniture scene right now. And designers expect softly-textured fabrics—like velvet, shearling, and mohair—to be big this year, as homeowners strive to add a touch of “hygge” (the Danish concept of calming comfort).. Want to warm up your home decor?
