HOW TO DECIDE IF YOU SHOULD REMODEL OR MOVE: After living in a home for several years, it can be easy to discover things you may not be crazy about. While some things can be a quick fix, there may be major changes that make you wonder if it is worth the investment. At this point, you're probably asking yourself if you should remodel or just find a new home. As you have probably realized, this isn't always an easy choice. There are many factors that go into this decision. Here... are some things to consider when deciding what will work best for you. 1. Determine which is more cost-friendly While both options will have costs, one will have more than the other depending on your situation. Some of the costs of selling include agent commissions, moving costs, minor repairs, the costs of a new home, and potential upsizing costs. The costs of remodeling can include permits, architectural plans, materials and labor, and any other additional costs incurred in the process. 2. Look into the current housing market Depending on whether your local real estate market is hot, it might make more sense to just sell if houses are selling quickly around you. By talking to a real estate agent, you can find out what to expect in terms of days on market, average sales price, and other important factors when it comes to selling a home. 3. Decide if your roots are deep Is your home more than just a home to you? If you and your family are actively involved in the community, remodeling may work best for you. On the flip side, if there are better schooling or job opportunities in a different neighborhood, or you already spend hours a day traveling to those locations, selling may be a better option. 4. Decide if a renovation can solve your problems Take the time to decide if the problems with your home are fixable. Is it really the house, or do you dislike your neighborhood? Do you have to spend an hour driving one way to work? Do you need a lot more space? If your answer to questions like this make you realize renovations won't solve your problems, consider that it may just be time to put your home on the market. 5. Consider the ROI on your remodel Calculating your return on investment will help you determine two things - first, if a remodel will cost you less than selling your home. It will also help you determine if you will be able to make your money back on a remodel if you choose to sell in the future. Look into the Cost v. Value Report for the last year, which can guide you on the most and least cost-effective improvements. If these considerations make you realize it is time to sell your home, give me a call today!

Pet-Friendly Indoor Plants Cooler temperatures may have you missing greenery. If everything outside has prepared for winter, you can always bring your own green indoors! While there may be a list of plants you’ve been dying to get, you may want to scan your shopping list first if you have pets. Even if you don’t have curious pets, there are some houseplants that are better to avoid altogether if you have furry friends in your home. It is always important to research any plant... you consider purchasing, but there are a few tried and true that pet experts recommend! Here is a list of pet-friendly plants to add to your home: Ferns. True ferns are an easy addition to a pet-friendly home. They pose no threat to your pets and are usually hung in spaces where your pet cannot reach them anyway! Kitchen Herbs. This is the best way to bring green to your indoor space while also serving another purpose - to eat! Basil, cilantro, dill, fennel, and sage are all easy indoor garden additions. Orchids. Orchids may not be easy to grow, but a huge range of orchids are safe for pets. Palms. True palms are generally safe, but cycads are not. A few safe palms to look for include areca palm, bamboo palm, dwarf palm and the ponytail palm. Peperomia. This group of plants is known for its easy care requirements and textured leaves, making peperomias perfect plants for a busy house with pets. Most are pet friendly, but you can stick to the basics like blunt leaf peperomia, ivy peperomia and metallic peperomia if you want to be safe. Succulents. Succulents and cacti, as a group, are pretty safe for pets. Though the plant may not be toxic, it is important to consider if your pet can reach a plant that is covered in spines.
