Home Features that are

Shed Shopping

Improve Your Curb AppealDISAPPEARING

Comox Valley HomeFinder Guide to Real Estate

The National Association for Realtors says that, despite f l o u n d e r i n g sales, there are fewer fore-closed homes available now than in recent years. Dis-tressed homes - foreclosures and short sales sold at deep discounts - ac-counted for 25 percent of homes sales in May of 2012. That fi gure is down from 28 percent in April and 31 percent in May of 2011.

While home sales have in-creased, money is still tight in the building industry and among home buyers. As such, instead of over-the-top fea-tures in homes that were once becoming the norm, builders are now focusing on more value-conscious designs and offerings. The list of add-ons also has been reduced.

So what can buyers expect to live without when buying a newly constructed home? Here are a few of the common features that are falling by the wayside.

Sunrooms: Although the “bring-the-outside-in” move-ment was once strong, build-ers are now focusing on home features that immediately add

value and attract the eye of buyers. Therefore, they’re put-ting their resources into linen closets and laundry rooms while de-emphasizing sun-rooms.

Extended ceiling heights: It can take a lot of energy to heat rooms with 15-foot ceil-ings. As a result, grandiose family rooms and two-story foyers are less attractive to buyers focused on saving money. Homeowners want spaces that are easier to heat and cool.

Luxury bathrooms: Many private residence luxury bathrooms rival those found at popular 4-star hotels. But luxury bathrooms are being phased out in favor of less expensive, more practical op-tions.

Outdoor kitchens: Al-though entertaining at home is one way to keep budgets

in check, some h o m e o w n e r s have realized they don’t need a complete back-yard kitchen with a pizza oven and brick fi replace in order to host guests. According to a survey from the National Asso-ciation of Home Builders, outdoor kitchens are the second least-likely feature to be included in

homes built in 2012.

Media rooms: Individuals certainly love their gadgets, but many of these gadgets have become smaller and more portable. That reduces the need for giant home the-aters and gaming spaces.

While certain features are dis-appearing, there are others that are growing more and more popular. Dual sinks in kitchens, walk-in closets, ex-tra storage areas, and hidden charging stations for devices are likely to show up more and more in new home designs.

The design of new homes is changing to be more budget-friendly and also represent the changing priorities of home buyers. As a result, to-day’s newly designed homes will likely look much different from homes built just a few years ago.

There is no denying the profound impact that the recession has had on the real estate industry. For the last several years, the real estate market went from booming to one characterized by homes sitting on the market for months on end. New home sales also have been conservative, and builders are cutting back on some offerings that were once commonplace.

Tall ceilings in family rooms are being eschewed in favor of smaller, more intimate spaces.

Storage space is often a cov-eted commodity. Apartment dwellers seek out more closet space, homeowners may de-sire more acreage, and even children may want more space for their toys and belongings. The purchase of a storage shed could alleviate some clutter is-sues and move items outdoors - creating more space.

Household garages are no longer as popular for storing vehicles. Instead, garages are used to store the extra items

that do not fi t inside the home.

Storage sheds present an-other place where individuals can keep items out of sight but easily accessible. There are other factors that come into play when selecting a shed.

Sheds come in a variety of siz-es, from compact locker-sized sheds to large buildings that may even double as a garden room or playhouse. Home-owners should keep in mind that the size of the shed may

have to meet local municipal-ity rules. A larger shed may require a permanent fl ooring material, and may be subject to permit applications and in-spections.

Sheds are constructed of vari-ous exterior materials. Materi-als can be easily compromised by rain and snow. Cedar and wood are popular siding choices but won’t be mainte-nance-free. They need upkeep and also tend to be more ex-pensive. But the cost may pay

for itself in durability as well as an attractive appearance.

Storage sheds can provide much-needed space for home-owners. Certain features as well as cost need to be fac-tored into the decision be-fore purchase. Homeowners should compare chain home improvement stores as well as private retailers to fi nd a shed that is the best fi t. Sheds can offer much-needed storage space in a

home’s backyard.

Men and women who have tried to sell a home are likely familiar with the phrase “curb appeal.” Curb appeal is simi-lar to getting ready for a big date, only you’re not dressing yourself up to make a strong fi rst impression. Instead, im-proving curb appeal involves dressing your home up in the hopes it makes a strong fi rst impression on prospective buyers, many of whom will have a strong opinion about the property before they even get out of their cars to have a look around.

A home with strong curb ap-peal can entice buyers who are likely to believe that a home with a well-maintained exterior is likely to have an equally impressive interior. Homeowners who want the process of selling their home to go smoothly can improve the property’s curb appeal in a number of ways, many of which don’t necessitate a sub-stantial home improvement budget.

Clean up. The most effective way to improve curb appeal is to clean up the property. Many homeowners are savvy enough to remove toys and other items from the yard before showing a home, but cleaning up goes beyond re-moving clutter from the prop-erty. Make sure all hedges are trimmed and remove weeds, sticks and other debris from any fl ower beds. Lay mulch in the fl ower beds and gar-den, as mulch prevents weed growth while helping the soil

retain moisture, resulting in more attractive gardens to catch a buyer’s eye.

Get an “edge” on other sellers. Edging is another easy and effective way to improve curb appeal. Edge driveways, sidewalks and other walkways around the property, removing or trimming anything that is hanging over the driveway or walkways. If the boundary between your driveway and lawn is not distinct, consider installing edging materials such as stone or bricks. The edging can be level with the driveway or elevated, but keep in mind that elevated drive-way edging can protect the lawn, preventing kids from riding their bicycles onto the lawn or cars from driving onto it. Adding edging is not a very diffi cult do-it-yourself project.

Take to the trees. Many homeowners grow accus-tomed to overgrown trees around their property and may not notice that low-hanging, unsightly branches are hid-ing the home from view. Buy-ers want to see the house, so take to the trees and trim any branches that hang too low or obscure your home.

Clean the gutters. Leaves and sticks hanging from the gutters are a red fl ag to buyers, who tend to associate clogged gutters with roof damage. Clean the gutters thoroughly before putting your home up for sale and keep them clean throughout the selling pro-cess. If your property includes lots of trees, install guards to

keep twigs and leaves out of the gutters.

Make the home acces-sible through the front door. Many homeowners enter their home through a side door or through their garage. If you fall into this category, keep in mind that prospective buyers will be entering through the front door, so make this area accessible. Clear any clutter, such as overgrown hedges, away from the front door, and consider upgrading the door handle to a more mod-ern feature. In addition, make sure the lock on the front door doesn’t stick, forcing the real-tor and buyers to immediately struggle before entering the home. You want buyers and their real estate agents to get in and out of the home as smoothly as possible.

Make sure all plants, in-cluding fl owers, are living. Dehydrated or dead plants and fl owers are eyesores, and they will give buyers the im-pression that you didn’t pay much attention to your prop-erty. Make sure all plants are alive and thriving and replace those that aren’t. You can re-plant new fl owers or plants or just use potted plants instead. When purchasing new plants, choose low-maintenance va-rieties that appeal to buyers who want good vibrant plants but might not want to put in much work into the garden.

When selling a home, home-owners can employ a number of tactics to improve their home’s curb appeal.
