What Is Your Home Worth?

Momma (1)What’s my home worth?…. I hear this question often and a lot of home owners are still under water with their home values.  According to the Asbury Park Press story posted on Sunday January 31, 2016, “values tick up, but still lag from market heyday”.

Since 2005 homeowners are watching and waiting for home prices to come back up to the market prices back in 2004-2005.  Home prices are still not where they were before the bubble burst but, rest assured, prices are climbing. Certain areas have a better growth rate, but all in all, prices are up.

Landscaping Your Property Adds Value!

Owning a home can be overwhelming when it comes to keeping up with the landscaping-landscaping your property adds value; especially if you live in an area where the climate changes 4 times a year. Every homeowner decorates and furnishes the inside of their home and many times the outside is left unattended or neglected. Remember one thing, landscaping your property adds value.  To add value to your home, consider sprucing up the outside landscaping and outdoor lighting adding character and charm before you enter.

Do-it-yourself landscaping may be just want you need to get the outside of your house looking great and landscaping your property adds value. If you’re fairly experienced with soil types and flowering plant styles, then do-it-yourself landscaping can work out perfectly.  It is most important that you create an overall plan before you start. Depending on the current condition of your yard and entrance area and your desired end result, do-it-yourself landscaping may be exactly what is needed to get the job done within your budget.

Which house would you pick?  A picture tells the story…..

A landscape is really a direct expression of a homeowner’s tastes and lifestyle – designing a landscape can be tricky and very time consuming. Even if you’re convinced that you have what it takes for do-it-yourself landscaping, it may be worthwhile to budget a small fee to have a landscape professional help evaluate your ideas and come up with a concrete plan. Planning out the entire project up front will save you time and money down the road keeping mistakes at a minimum.

Get Rid of Unwanted Clutter

It may seem insurmountable to think about do-it-yourself landscaping, but there’s a trick to get your started, Miller says. “You have to look at your yard as a palette, and to do that, you have to get the biggest offenders out of the way,” he says. For example, take a few weekends to clear clutter or remove overgrown elements. “Those are great tasks to do yourself and things that most people are comfortable with,” Miller says.

Even small changes may help you step back and see your landscape with fresh eyes and help you establish a vision, which in turn helps you determine if you can take a do-it-yourself approach to landscaping.
