Real Estate Information

I remember watching The Jetsons when I was a kid and being fascinated by the idea of being able to actually see somebody when talking to them on the phone. And a robot maid? Who wouldn’t want one of those?!  I had no idea that in my lifetime, the things I saw on that cartoon fantasy would become a reality. Technologies like FaceTime and Skype allow us to see our loved ones no matter how far away they are. And while we may not have live-in robot maids (yet), things like robot vacuum Roomba have made house cleaning a breeze. Technology moves fast and sometimes it’s hard to keep up with all the options available to make life easier and safer.

If you’ve been thinking about turning your house into a “smart home”, but you don’t know where to begin, here are the basics to get you started:

• Create your command center with a voice-controlled smart speaker. Smart speakers come equipped with smart assistants and they usually come with an app that will be a hub for all your smart-home devices. The speaker allows you to control them all with voice commands without having to log in to different apps.  You want to be sure that you use the right type of speaker based on the other technological services you use. For example, if you use an Apple HomePod, it will only work with Siri and iTunes and is only compatible with other iOS smart products.
  
• If you feel like setting up your smart home is going to be too expensive to do all at once, then smart lighting is a good place to start. It’s relatively inexpensive and is one of the best applications for voice control. By using Smart Bulbs, you will not only save energy, but you can create a more secure home because you will be able to control your lighting remotely. You can also turn a basic light switch into a dimmer…think romantic ambiance! Once you make the one-time purchase of a small hub that is plugged in and connected to your router via Ethernet, all you have to do is replace your current bulbs with smart bulbs. The whole process just takes a few minutes, and since the hub can accommodate up to 50 bulbs, you will only need one. When purchasing the smart bulbs, make sure they are compatible with the smart assistant you are using in addition to making sure you are buying them in the correct size to replace the ones you have. Some brands, like Philips Hue offers starter kits that are compatible with Alexa, Google Assistant and Siri.
   
• Invest in smart plugs. They will make almost everything easier! Smart plugs are adapters that turn simple appliances into smart appliances. With a smart plug you can control many of your devices from anywhere by simply using an app.
  
• Smart home-security devices are a little more challenging to install but are worth it for the security they provide. A smart doorbell is a good place to start. It lets you monitor who is coming to your door whether you are home or somewhere else.  It uses a camera and an in-app calling feature that utilizes two-way audio and one-way video.
   
• A larger expense comes into play when you desire large smart appliances such as washers, dryers, and refrigerators. Smart plugs cannot be used to control them. So, that means replacing current large appliances with new smart ones. And as you can imagine, that can be very costly.
   
• Set up an IFTTT app. IFTTT stands for “If This, Then That”, and it adds an extra layer to your smart home.  Available on the App Store, Google Play and in a desk top version at IFTTT.com, this app will help you connect your smart home features in creative ways based on your personal needs. 

Keep in mind that this is a simple guide to begin the process of turning your house into a smart home. There are a lot of products available, so do your research and find the one that is the best fit for you and your family!

The Black Jacket Symphony offers a unique concert experience through recreating classic albums in a live performance setting. A selected album is performed in its entirety by a group of handpicked musicians specifically selected for each album, with no sonic detail being overlooked--the musicians do whatever it takes to musically reproduce the album. The performance is separated into two sets--the first set features the album being recreated as a true symphonic piece. The second set, which features a selection of the album artist's "greatest hits", opens in full contrast to the first set with an incredible light display and the symphony being much more laid back. The tone is set very quickly that this is going to be the musicianship of the first act paired with all the bells and whistles of a major rock and roll show.

As a Realtor, I love helping people purchase their first home. However, there are two major challenges that I see time and time again with first time home buyers:

1. They often carry too much debt.
2. They don’t have enough cash for a down payment.

These two issues are strongly related in that people need to reduce debts that inhibit them from saving money.

We all know that we shouldn’t spend more than we earn, but falling into the debt trap is easy to do. You see a pair of boots that you must have and you think, I will use my credit card now and pay for them with my next paycheck. It sounds reasonable at the time, but next thing you know you’ve done something like that often enough that there is a beastly credit card balance hanging over your head.

So, now you’re in debt. You have regrets, but no use doing the “should have, would have, could have” dance. Now it’s time to move forward and take the steps needed to reduce your debt. 

Here is a list of things to do to change the way you manage your money.  Follow these steps and before you know it you will be on your way to saving for a down payment on your first home!

• STOP ADDING TO YOUR DEBT

The first step to getting out of debt is to stop adding to your outstanding balances. To remove temptation, carry only one credit card with you…and make sure it is the one with the lowest limit so that it is impossible to get into serious trouble with it. Leave any other credit cards in a safe place at home to keep yourself from going on an impulsive shopping spree.

• TAKE AN INVENTORY OF YOUR SPENDING HABITS

This may not be a fun activity, but it is helpful to see how you are spending. Create a list of where your money goes each month including rent, utilities, car payments, food, credit cards etc. Once you have done this, split the list into two categories: bills you must pay every month and debts you need to pay off. The second list can then be organized in order of urgency, either based on outstanding balance or highest interest rate. Now you will have a clear picture of your debt situation.

• ELIMINATE THE LARGEST DEBTS FIRST

Make a minimum payment for each of your credit card bills, but then make an extra payment on the bill that is at the top of your list. Do this monthly until that bill is paid in full. Now take the money you were using for that bill and start applying it to the second item on your list.Continue this until all of them are paid off.

• CUT EXPENSES AND MAKE THE PAYMENT 

If you are already in debt, how are you going to find money for an extra payment?Well, some sacrifices will have to be made. Cutting back on extras like trips to Starbucks, entertainment and eating out can free up cash that can go toward that extra payment each month.

• PREPARE FOR THE UNEXPECTED

Sometimes life is a struggle and unexpected challenges such as car repairs or medical expenses will pop up from time to time. As you cut expenses and start to save money, set up an emergency savings account just for these occasions. That way you will be prepared and won’t have to use a credit card and add to your debt.

• LOWER YOUR INTEREST RATES

Give your credit card company a call to see if they will lower your interest rate. If they say no, shop around for a card with a lower rate and transfer your debt (be careful of transfer fees to make sure the transfer benefits you). You can also seek out a consolidation loan from your bank. They will pay off your debt and you can pay them back at a lower interest rate.

• STICK TO IT!

As you see your debt decrease and see your cash increase, don’t fall back into old spending habits. As you have more money available, put it right into your savings and soon you will have the money you need for a down payment on your first home!

With the many expenses of being a homeowner, we all want to cut back where we can to lower costs. There are several ways to save on your electric bill. 

Try these tips to lower your bill:

Get an Energy Audit

Check and see if your utility company offers a free home energy audit. If so, it’s well worth it to have them come out. They can point out areas where you can trim your energy use. Home Energy Audit

Install Dimmer Switches

Dimmer switches will allow you to only use as much light as you need. How to Install a Dimmer Switch

Keep Your Fridge & Freezer Full

The food that you store in your fridge and freezer serves as insulation, so the more you have in there, the less your appliance must run to keep itself cold.

Install Ceiling Fans

If you keep the air circulating in your home, your AC will not have to work as hard to keep the house cool. You can also use your ceiling fan to keep warmer in the winter. To do this, reverse the motor in the ceiling fan so it rotates clockwise at a low speed. This creates an updraft which forces warm air near the ceiling down into your space. It won’t change the temperature in the room, but it will help keep you warm.  But don’t forget to turn the fan off when you leave the room to save even more electricity!

Cover and Repair Windows

If your windows are not insulated for cold weather, they can be a major source of lost heat from inside your home. Make sure they are properly sealed and weatherized to help prevent heat from escaping and cold air from coming in. You can use caulking on small gaps or apply weatherstripping to cover them.

Line Dry Your Laundry

Let “Mother Nature” dry your clothes for you on warm, sunny days. When that is not possible, try using a drying rack indoors.

Eliminate “Phantom Loads”

You may be shocked to know that about 75% of the energy used by home electronics is consumed when they are turned off. Some examples of these “phantom” users are: televisions, CD players, computers, and various kitchen appliances. The simple solution is to plug these items into a power strip and then turn the power strip off when not using them.

Install an Attic Fan

An attic fan will pull cool air into your home and help to remove hot air.

Shield Your Home from the Sun

You can cut down on air conditioning use by closing your curtains and blinds on the sunny side of the house. You may also want to consider planting trees that will provide shade during the sunny times of the day.

Schedule Yearly HVAC Maintenance

Having your HVAC inspected and cleaned each year will save you money in the long run…and it will help provide cleaner air to your home.

Change Your Filters Regularly

Filters should be changed every 30 days to keep your HVAC running at peak efficiency.

Switch to LEDs

LED light bulbs use 90 percent less energy than incandescent bulbs.  Switch out the bulbs you use the most in your home and then change the rest as they burn out.

Lower the Temperature of Your Hot Water Heater

13% of your home’s energy goes to heating water. You can lower this percentage by setting your hot water heater to 120 degrees.

Get a Programmable Thermostat

A programmable thermostat allows you to monitor and set your heat usage so that you are not heating an empty house while you’re away. If you don’t have a programmable thermostat, adjust it manually before leaving the house.

Ahh…Christmas. A time for happiness and good cheer. And shopping. And cooking. And wrapping. And decorating. And baking. Are you tired yet? I am…just from typing this list of things we all do during the holiday season. Don’t despair! It doesn’t have to be this way. You can experience the magic of Christmas without exhausting yourself to the point that you can’t even enjoy it. Embrace minimalism this Christmas and you will breathe a sigh of relief as you savor the joy of the season.

Here are some tips to help:

• The Three Gift Rule

If maxing out your credit cards and spending hours wrapping gifts doesn’t sound like fun, you may want to consider the “Three Gift Rule”. With the Three Gift Rule each person gets one thing they need, one thing they want, and one surprise. Turn the focus from quantity to quality while saving yourself time, energy, and a little money.

• Keep Your Tree Simple

Unless every single ornament you own is super meaningful to you, you don’t have to use them all. If you are overwhelmed thinking about how much time it takes to decorate your Christmas tree, then consider toning it down this year. If you have three bins of ornaments, just use one this year. Next year you can use another one. When it comes to your Christmas tree, there is beauty in simplicity. If you decorate it so much that you can’t even see any of the actual tree…you are probably doing too much!

• Don’t be “Extra”

You may have heard kids using this term lately. It refers to someone trying too hard or being over the top. We can all get caught up in trying to outdo our friends, neighbors, social media acquaintances, and/or family members during the holidays. But do you need all the additional stuff at Christmas? Stick to the basics…a lovely Christmas tree, a few special gifts and a wreath on the door…and you can still have a magical holiday!

• Give Homemade Edible Gifts

We all have SO. MUCH. STUFF. When thinking about what gifts to give to neighbors, friends and family, consider making and/or baking edible gifts. Not only will your time and thoughtfulness be appreciated, but the food will be enjoyed and won’t add to the collection of stuff taking up space in our homes.

• Go Easy on the Stockings

If you fill a stocking so full that you can’t leave it hanging because it’s too heavy, you have put too much in it! Use Christmas stockings to hold small items like candy, lip balm and socks.

• Secret Santa

If you are part of a large extended family or a large friend group, it can be stressful and expensive trying to find the perfect gift for every person in the group. Avoid that stress (and expense) by suggesting that you all do a “Secret Santa Gift Exchange”. This way, each of you will only have to buy for one other person. You will not only save money; you will be able to focus on finding a special gift that your chosen person will love!

• Give the Gift of Experiences

When Christmas is over, many people find themselves with a bunch of things they will never use again. But if you give the gift of a future experience…think tickets to a show or movie, gift card to a restaurant or spa experience…not only will there be less “stuff” to put away, but there will be things to look forward to as the holiday season draws to a close.

• Only Decorate the Room You Spend the Most Time In

You don’t have to decorate your whole house. Skip the Christmas shower curtain in the bathroom and focus on decorating where you and your family spend the most time. Some people enjoy decorating their entire home, but if you don’t, it’s ok. Do what brings you joy and skip the rest!

The bottom line is that the holiday season should be a time of peace and happiness.  Do what works for you and your loved ones so that you can truly experience the joy of the season!
