Color Commentary: What’s the Best Hue for Selling?

By Michelle Hainer | March 12, 2015

You may love a bold hue, but a buyer may not. Find out what colors help sell homes.

Since Goethe published Theory of Colours back in the early 1800s, color theorists have expounded on the psychological impact that certain hues have on us. And with good reason: study after study proves that we equate color with emotion.

“Color evokes an emotional response in us all — whether we know it or not,” says Maria Killam, a color expert, decorator, and author of White is Complicated: A Decorators’ Guide to Choosing the Right White. “And the colors we choose for our homes are a public representation of how we see ourselves.”

This can become problematic, however, when you want to sell your home and not every potential buyer loves that teal trim as much as you do.

So what’s a seller to do — short of repainting every room beige?

Try these tips for selecting new color choices that will have you headed toward a closing date in no time.

Start outside

While interiors are important, the exterior is the first thing buyers will see (especially if they’re just driving by your home).

“Be sure your front door, mailbox post, porch, or deck are freshly painted or stained — if the outside of your house looks weather-beaten or if there’s any sign of mold growing on the clapboards, paint the exterior too,” says Bessie Zevgaras, a broker sales associate for Coldwell Banker in Fort Lee, NJ.

When choosing an exterior hue, use your neighborhood as your guide. If you live among a sea of gray and taupe facades, red probably isn’t your best bet.

While it’s tempting to want to choose a color that will make your home stand out from the pack, it’s also important to consider how it will measure up against nearby properties.

Make it monochromatic

Stick to a single all-over neutral in your main rooms, but it’s OK to expand beyond cream or taupe.

Try a warm gray like Sherwin-Williams 7029 “Agreeable Grey” or, if you have a lot of earth tones in your décor, Sherwin-Williams 6148 “Wool Skein,” says Killam.

“It’s easier for buyers to visualize their furniture in your house if they are not influenced by a lot of busy, dark colors.”

Plus, light, neutral colors “look smashing in online photographs, which is the first place people check when searching for homes,” adds Zevgaras.

Rely on white in the kitchen

“White cabinets are the best and most timeless color for kitchens,” says Killam. “It’s much harder to know when a kitchen was installed if it’s white, which is great for resale.”

Unsure which blanc to buy? Go for a classic: Benjamin Moore OC-117 “Simply White” is an excellent choice.

Paint your bedroom blue

“There’s something calming and relaxing about blue bedrooms, and they look great with white bedding if you don’t want to commit to a new duvet cover,” says Killam.

If you’re ready to take the plunge, two winning shades are Sherwin-Williams 6204 “Sea Salt” or 6232 “Misty.”

Keep your bathrooms bright

If they’re white or cream, leave them, but if the bathrooms in your home are already a fun color, there’s no need to repaint — this is the one place that people expect (and forgive) a little personality.

Just be sure to avoid the contrast wall (painting one wall a dark color) in any room, advises Killam, which can make a space feel small.

History Of St. Patrick’s Day

Saint Patrick’s Day – We know it as a day of food, parades and celebrations for the Irish and the “Irish-at-Heart,” but what is the true history behind this famous GREEN day?

Saint Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland known for bringing Christianity to the land, has been celebrated each March 17^th since around the 9^th or 10^th century.  This Irish “Feast Day” falls within the Christian Lent season, freeing ravenous carnivores from the traditional Lent meat ban. The early Irish observers would spend the morning at Church followed by an evening of dance, drink and feasting on traditional Irish bacon and cabbage.

Interestingly enough, the fun celebratory parades which we have come to associate with the GREEN holiday began their history in New York City in 1762. Although NYC remains home to the largest St. Patrick’s Day parade in the country, there are a handful of other cities that can claim stake in the title for Largest in the Land! Among these cities are Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and, our northern neighbors, Savannah.

Savannah, Georgia is just a short day-trip from Palm Coast. If you have never experienced a famous Savannah St. Patrick’s Day celebration, I encourage you to head north for a true Irish celebration. Their celebrations run from March 13^th-17^th. If you’d prefer to stay local, don’t count out our own County’s jovial GREEN celebrations.

Raring to try some mouthwatering Irish grub for yourself this month? Head on over to Farley’s Irish Pub at our very own European Village. There you can sink your teeth into a “Chike’s Corned Beef Reuben” and wet your whistle with a selection from their extensive beer menu. Don’t forget to bring this flyer for a special deal. See below for details.

However you choose to spend your GREEN holiday this year, your local GREEN Realtor wishes you and your family a safe and happy Saint Patrick’s Day!

Nail Down the Cost of Your Roofing Project

When installing a new roof, the biggest decision you’re going to have to make, outside of choosing which roofing pro to hire, is what material to use. If you’re replacing an existing roof this will likely be an easier decision, as there’s a good chance you’ll go with the same material you’re replacing. The decision gets a bit more complicated if you’re building a new home. However, before jumping into the pros and cons of each material, let’s take a look at the two factors that will affect your budget independent of the material you choose.

Not surprisingly, the size of your roof plays a big role in determining the project cost. And if you’re going to be talking to a roofer, it helps to know some of their lingo – specifically, the term they use to measure the size of your roof. While many contractors base their estimates on square footage, roofing pros go by squares, where each square is 100 square feet. So if your roof is 2,000 square feet it will be 20 squares. The more squares, the more the project will cost (most of the time).

Quick question: will it cost more to replace a large roof with a simple layout or a small roof with a complex layout? When it comes to budgeting – the simpler the roof, the lower the cost. If your roof is steep, loaded with chimneys, and features many other elaborate architectural elements, it’s a safe bet that you’ll be spending more on your project. An additional factor that could come into play is the condition of your existing roof and decking (the base over which the roofing is applied). If the decking is damaged, any repairs or replacement costs will be added to your budget. While you can’t change the size and shape of your roof, unless it’s new construction, you can change the materials you use. The most popular choice is asphalt. Inexpensive, durable, and easy to install, asphalt shingles are available in a number of different colors and styles so you can be sure you’ll be able to find an option that complements your home.

Composite shingles are becoming an increasingly popular option, as they give you the look of more expensive materials such as slate, tile, and wood, without the expense that goes with it. However, you’ll have to open up the checkbook as composite shingles cost significantly more than asphalt shingles.

If you have a historic home or are looking for a more upscale look, you’ll want to consider going with wood shingles and shakes. (Quick tip: wood shingles are thinner than shakes and provide a smooth appearance, whereas shakes are rough split and highly textured.) Wood shingles are typically made of cedar and will last about 25 years.

If you’ve got the budget and want to give your home a truly upscale look, look no further than slate roofing. Fire-retardant, incredibly tough, and nearly maintenance-free, slate is one of the most durable roofing materials available, so much so that you can expect it to last your lifetime. And while slate looks fantastic, it is heavy, so it might not be a viable option for your home.

Metal roofing does it all. It’s durable, noncombustible, energy efficient, and available in a number of different styles. If there’s one downside to metal it’s that it’s you have so many options – aluminum, steel, and copper being the most common.

Last but not least, tile or concrete roofing is an option worth considering if you’re looking for an upscale look or have a Mission or Spanish Colonial style home. It looks great, is available in a number of different styles and colors, and is very durable. The downside is that it’s spendy and heavy, so it might not be the right choice for your home.

Proven Ways to Increase the Value of Your Home

By Vanessa Nix Anthony | March 4, 2015

Making your home more attractive to prospective buyers can be as simple as sprucing up the kitchen with a new renovation or refreshing the decor.

Heed these 8 suggestions from real estate pros to ensure your property fetches the highest possible price.

I’m no real estate investor, but I’ve bought and sold two houses in my time (one on my own and one with an agent), and what I can tell you from those experiences is that little things mean a lot when it comes to selling your home and getting a great price for it.

But if everything counts and you have only so much time and money to invest, how do you know where to start to get your home for-sale ready and to fetch the best price?

The good folks at Consumer Reports National Research Center set out to answer just that, with an online survey of 303 real estate professionals from around the country.

As we head into the hottest selling months and with 5.3 million homes expected to change hands this year, we thought it might be nice to get our own answers to help you leverage all you can against the competition.

1. Stage and declutter your home

One of the panel members Consumer Reports consulted was the former executive producer for This Old House, Massachusetts real estate agent and renovation consultant Bruce Irving.

(He knows his stuff: the guy has been interviewed by Oprah protégé Nate Berkus, and The New York Times called him “the house whisperer.”)

“Do all the work necessary to make your property look good, not through expensive changes but through excellent staging,” says Irving. “Your agent should be able to provide proper advice and even bring in a professional.”

That means clearing out clutter.

“I have a gal who I send into listings to declutter and depersonalize for sellers and just tidy things up using the sellers’ own possessions for the most part,” says Karen Wallace, an agent with Lyon Real Estate, located in Auburn, CA.

Tara Miller of Tarabell’s Designs in Portland, OR, is just such a gal. She helps homeowners and agents stage their houses for maximum sales appeal.

Miller points out that people who don’t keep up on needed repairs end up spending the most when it comes time to readying a home for sale.

“It’s remarkable what regular home maintenance, cleanliness, and minimizing clutter in your everyday life can do for you when it comes time to sell.”

She also notes that staging a home is very different from designing or decorating. “It’s a tough thought, but not everyone likes your pets, hobbies, sports teams, or religion.”

2. Clean it up!

“If it’s dirty, it will not sell — even if it’s a great place,” says Kathy Partak, a real estate agent with Select Estate Properties in Auburn, CA.

In fact, surprisingly, most of the agents we spoke with focused on overall cleanliness and space in the home as the biggest factor in selling your home.

And cleanliness pays off, according to Consumer Reports: cleaning and decluttering can deliver a 3% to 5% return on investment, and this is something you can do yourself.

When showing your home, Irving adds, “Raise window blinds, lower toilet seats — make sure the place looks at least as good as it would if you were having your boss over for dinner.”

3. Enhance your curb appeal

First impressions sell your home. As soon as a potential buyer drives up to your house, she’s making judgments — and a yard in disarray or untrimmed bushes could cost you.

“Exterior space is ‘free’ extra square footage and is so appealing to buyers,” says Wallace. “It pays to enhance it.”

But if your staging budget doesn’t include the outdoors, Partak suggests making the most of the walk from the car to the entry.

“Make it look nice from the curb with some easy potted or planted flowers to trim the walkway.”

4. Pay attention to details

The details that you may believe are minor can turn out to pack a wallop for your home’s sale. For Irving that includes everything from paint touch-ups throughout the house to a full redo of public rooms.

“Wash your windows, replace compact fluorescent bulbs with incandescent or halogen, and remove or minimize personal photographs,” he says.

If you have a little money to invest, Partak suggests upgrading to energy-efficient windows, appliances in the kitchen, and adding solar. “These are always the things that bring in more money.”

5. Refresh your kitchen and bath

Don’t forget the most important rooms in your home: the kitchen and bathroom. Consumer Reports estimates that you can increase your home’s value by as much as 7% by renovating these rooms.

If you don’t have renovations in your budget, Kristen Kohnstamm, principal broker and co-owner of Dunthorpe Properties, a luxury real estate firm in Portland, OR, recommends fresh paint, a low-hanging opportunity to freshen up your space and potentially lift your asking price.

Choose a neutral palette to increase the appeal to as many tastes as possible; buyers need to be able to easily visualize themselves living in the home. But don’t invest too much time or personality in things like paint and new carpeting.

“The worst thing you can do is put lots of money into things like carpet, paint, and other aesthetics that a new homeowner will likely want to change,” says Kohnstamm.

6. Invest in good photos

When it comes to the listing, make sure your real estate agent offers great photos that show your home in its best light. First impressions can make all the difference to someone sitting at home on the computer.

And when it comes to open houses and showings, Irving suggests you “absent yourself” because sellers can sometimes get in the way of a sale by taking things too personally.

7. Don’t DIY everything

Irving’s top tip includes a good finger wagging at people like me, who think they can DIY a home sale and still come out ahead.

“First and foremost, for correct pricing, widest and best marketing, and the highest price, hire a real estate agent,” says Irving.

8. Try not to take it personally

While this tip won’t necessarily increase your home’s value, it will certainly speed up the sale.

Kohnstamm cautions first-time sellers to temper their emotions when it comes to the sale of their home.

“Whatever comments are [made] about your home, they’re never intended as a personal affront. Remember, everyone has different tastes, but clean and well maintained never goes out of style.”

Energy efficiency, relaxation influence 2015 housing trends

By Andy Warren

Housing trends are like a time capsule. Each decade has its own hallmarks that serve as signs of the times. Remember the gold shag carpet and avocado-colored appliances of the ’70s? The teal and salmon Southwest color palette of the ’80s? How about the minimalist décor of the ’90s?

According to experts, American housing trends are as much about culture as they are about carpet color. They can reflect consumers’ attitudes about everything from the economy to the environment. Take the ’90s, for example. The housing design pendulum swung from the excesses of the ’80s to a less-is-more mindset influenced by the previous decade’s recession, among other factors.

If you’re wondering what we’ll look back on and remember about this decade, here are a few trends uncovered by the National Association of Homebuilders (NAHB):

• Energy efficiency: The NAHB recently polled homebuilders about the features they plan to incorporate into their new homes this year. At the same time, they asked millennials to identify which design elements they would include on their must-have lists. Eco-friendly, energy-efficient designs, building materials and appliances topped both lists. In fact, millennials who responded to the survey said they’d be willing to pay 2-3 percent more for energy efficiency, as long as they could see a return on their power bills.

• Relaxation: If the design features included in the winning homes from NAHB’s 2014 Best in American Living Awards competition are any indication, homebuyers are all about de-stressing this year. Game rooms, hobby rooms and wine rooms encourage homeowners to retreat from the pressures of the outside world and enjoy time at home, either alone or with others. Additionally, bathroom designs continue to center on providing a spa-like experience. Bathtubs, in particular, are making a comeback, with sculpted, stand-alone models serving as a focal point of the room.

• Indoor-outdoor living: Removeable walls, foldable walls and moving glass wall systems are making it easier for homeowners to stretch their lounging environments beyond the traditional confines. Look for more of these transitional spaces to show up in housing designs this year, according to the NAHB.

• Andy Warren is president of Arizona homebuilder Maracay Homes, part of the TRI Pointe Homes family of builders. He serves on the board of directors and as an executive committee member with the Greater Phoenix Economic Council and is a past board member of the Home Builders Association of Central Arizona. He is also a member of Greater Phoenix Leadership and an active member of the Urban Land Institute. For more information about Maracay Homes, visit www.maracayhomes.com.

Spring decor trends: Mix of modern and eclectic, with a dash of Marsala

By Kim Cook The Associated Press

Spring is a favourite transitional time for lovers of home decor. Shaking out the rugs and washing the windows after a long winter feels satisfying, and then there’s the prospect of perhaps replacing some old, shabby furnishings with fresh new pieces.

Spring’s also when we start to see the decor trends that will find their way home both figuratively and literally through summer and fall.

For 2015, these trends include a firm embrace of midcentury modern; emerging Art Deco; strong textures; organic modern (a blend of rustic and contemporary); and a colour palette centred on sophisticated pastels.

Motifs from the Far East, Morocco and India remain strong, but now there are more Greek and South American elements, including Hellenic patterns, blues paired with crisp whites, native motifs, and colorful, woven textiles and baskets.

Ikat and chevron, workhorse prints for the past few years, are being edged aside by medallion and tile patterns, bold preppy stripes, and new twists on damask, geometrics, colour block and watercolour prints. Kate Spade has collaborated on a new collection with West Elm, for instance, that includes chairs and bedding in fun, sophisticated graphics, florals and spatter prints.

The other news is that designers are mixing things up, so an antique Bentwood chair can be paired with a glossy red desk, for instance, or a rustic flat-weave rug can sit in front of a 19th century marble mantel, or a farmhouse table can be placed under an ornate glass chandelier.

“Design pros have always known it’s the combination of finishes that give a room style – it takes the sleek with the matte; textured with flat; and a mix of painted, wood, ceramic and metallic finishes for a room to look ‘done,”‘ says Elaine Griffin, a New York-based designer.

Now, thanks to home-design TV shows and social media, we’re all becoming more knowledgeable decorators.

Mass-market retailers are not only offering more products that straddle styles, they’re doing a better job of showing us how to use them. In-store displays and free design advice help shoppers envision how pieces can work at home.

“We’ve become semi-pros at DIY decor,” says Griffin.

Feeling confident and inspired? Let’s look at some of what spring’s got in store.

—

FURNITURE STYLES

Griffin sees midcentury modern becoming even more entrenched in the decor landscape. The pieces are comfier than the originals because of modern construction methods and materials.

“The new shapes are the love children between midcentury modern’s twigginess and the traditional overstuffed look. They’re so fresh-looking that they’re irresistible,” she says.

West Elm’s Peggy collection of trim, tailored sofas and loveseats feature nubby cayenne or pebble-grey upholstery tucked under slim, pecan-stained legs. The Crosby collection puts a tufted cushion on a trimmed-down wingback that’s especially smart in armchair and sectional versions.

Urban Outfitters’ Sterling sofa and Dagmar chair fit the vibe, as does the Draper media cabinet, which resembles a retro hi-fi console.

Griffin says Art Deco will really start to emerge this year.

“We’re seeing its first wave now in the new linear, jazz-inspired graphics and block prints,” she says. “I’m predicting that we’ll be seeing Deco-inspired furniture and accessories for fall 2015 and spring 2016, viewed through the sleek aperture of midcentury modern.”

The sophisticated style’s got legs in both traditional and contemporary decor, so there are lots of ways to incorporate it.

Ethan Allen has the Shelton sofa with high, curvy arms, the Atwood chair with two swooping sides, and a chic little nickel-plated side table. Urban Outfitters has a vintage-style velvet chaise and fainting couch available in of-the-moment hues.

COLOUR AND TEXTURE

A heady blend of plum, wine and burgundy, Marsala is Pantone’s colour of the year, and while it’s likely to be more prevalent come autumn, you can jump on the trend now by adding dashes of the hue.

Overstock’s Presley throw pillow comes in a striking deep-red-and-white houndstooth print. The Calantha wall mirror features a lacquered frame carved in a floral design. And Safavieh’s Palmer ottoman pairs cream-and-red, windowpane-printed cotton with nickel rivets for a versatile little bench.

Look for colour used in dramatic ways: a navy lacquered cabinet (at CB2), or a glossy burgundy vanity (Hastings Tile & Bath’s Made collection). Black is back, in a sexy bowfront chest at Wisteria, on walls (Noir is Pratt & Lambert’s colour of the year) and in Pottery Barn’s new Stinson bedroom furniture with curly, barley-twist details. Griffin predicts that kitchens with a lot of black – mixed with lighter woods or white – will be hot this year.

Sophisticated pastels – what Griffin calls the “Jordan almond’ hues – grace textiles, case goods and even lamps, with mint green and blush pink being the dominant colours. Wisteria has a collection of sleek, contemporary, sea-foam green acrylic desks and tables with a waterfall edge.

This photo provided by Sherwin-Williams shows the COTY kitchen in the colors of Hubbard Squash and Coral Reef. Coral is one of this spring’s ‘it’ colors, and Sherwin-Williams has picked Coral Reef as its color of the year. Lighthearted yet sophisticated, it’s got a tropical vibe but looks good in northern light as well. Pair with black and white for drama, or coordinate with soft neutrals or pastels like pale green and butter for a more peaceful look. AP Photo/Sherwin-Williams

Textured linens, silks and cottons in tone-on-tone or colorful embroidered prints, embossed fabrics, leathers, and luxe velvets will grace drapery, upholstery and rugs.

We were introduced to warm metallics last year; this year, we’ll get to know them better. Lighting and accessories are being rendered in brass, copper and rose gold.

At the modern end of the spectrum, powder-coated metal is showing up in pastels and bright colours, in fun wire lounge chairs at Land of Nod, file cabinets at CB2 and steel baskets with birch handles at Ikea.

Bernhardt’s new collection includes a brass-clad dresser and several gold or silver side tables and benches – elegant jewelry for a room.

Nate Berkus’ new collection for Target features geometric metallic motifs on pillows and an interesting piece of wall art. Faceted lamps and bath accessories come in white and brushed gold.

“I gravitate toward pieces that feel architectural,” Berkus says. He mixed “beachy touches” of colour for a vibe he considers “’70s modernism.”

Pierced metal lampshades could only be found at high-design ateliers a year ago, but now Ikea’s Nymo collection comes in black or white with copper interiors.

Lighter woods reflect both mid-century and farmhouse modern esthetics; look for light oak and pine, maple, walnut, acorn and beech.
