You got the keys! Time to make your Pinterest boards come to life! But you have an entire house to decorate and you’re feeling overwhelmed! Where do you even start? Here are some questions to ask yourself before making a decision: 1. Which room will we spend the most time in?... 2. Which room needs the most work? 3. Which space will be the least expensive to decorate? 4. Which areas need new paint and decor vs furniture and more major upgrades? 5. Which room will have the biggest impact? A lot of times it’s best to start with the area where you spend the most time. This is typically the kitchen and living area but it might be different for you, hence the questions! You might feel like you should tackle that yellow bathroom from the 50’s but is that really where you want to start? Or would you rather add some fun pieces to your living room and make that a space you love first? When you start with a focal space, it can also help you decide what you want to do in other rooms instead of going in reverse order. What is the first room you decorated after moving into your current home? * * * @weloveymm #April2021 #homeownership #homeorganization #checklist #home #family #Thisishome #ymm #weloveymm #homesweethome #hgrealestate #home #fortmcmurray #realtors #realestate #realtor #sellers #buyers #beaconhill #gregoire #graylingterrace #waterways #abasand #thickwood #dickensfield #woodbuffalo #timberlea #eagleridge #stonecreek #parsonsnorth Heather Gartner, Realtor Coldwell Banker Fort McMurray 780-531-4748 [email protected] realtyfortmcmurray.com

BUYING IN 2021 - HERE'S WHAT'S CHANGING: It's safe to say that 2020 brought about quite a few changes in the real estate world but a lot of them are pretty great! Here are a few things that have changed home buying that you can expect to see if starting your home search in 2021! The features buyers are looking for: With the transition to virtual classrooms, work from home jobs drastically increasing and more time spent at home overall, buyers wishlists have shifted to som...e pretty specific home features. If you're starting your home search this year, these may be features you want to consider for resale (depending on how long you plan to live in your home). Some of those features include, dedicated home office space, multi purpose kitchens and mud rooms, smart home tech and an emphasis on making the most of the outdoor space! Being prepared in advance - not only did Covid change the real estate market but so did the low inventory levels we experienced last year. Knowing your budget and being able to make moves very confidently is going to continue to be KEY to buying a home this year. That means meeting with a Real Estate Agent before you're ready to start your actual home search, getting pre-approved before even looking at homes online and understanding the ins and outs of a competitive market. Buyer Consults: We can do these anytime! Maybe you are thinking that you are 6-9 months out from purchasing and its too early to chat with a RealtorWRONG! Its the perfect time! Lets get your plan started now so that you are ready to go! You never know, you could be ready sooner then you think! * * * Coldwell Banker Fort McMurray #January2021 #homeownership #homeorganization #checklist #home #family #Thisishome #ymm #weloveymm #homesweethome #hgrealestate #home #fortmcmurray #realtors #realestate #realtor #sellers #buyers #beaconhill #gregoire #graylingterrace #waterways #abasand #thickwood #dickensfield #woodbuffalo #timberlea #eagleridge #stonecreek #parsonsnorth Heather Gartner, Realtor Coldwell Banker Fort McMurray 780-531-4748 [email protected] realtyfortmcmurray.com
