Sell Your House This Spring!

If you're looking to sell your home this spring, you've probably already done some research on what you can do to sell your house faster and for the best price. Things like de-personalizing your house by removing family photos or sprucing up your landscaping are pretty obvious to those who are really interested in getting thier home sold. Below, we've compiled a list of the not so obvious things you should be doing if you want to sell your house in a short time frame. Check it out!

Strategically pick your listing time - This is an impeccable step that can really make or break it for your house. Just like picking the right day and time to book a flight, you need to pick the right day and time to list your house for sale. According to Zillow's study, home owners who list their homes for sale between May 1st and May 15th sold thier homes within 9 days on average. Also, houses listed on Fridays or Saturdays received the most prompt responses.


Take your climate into consideration - This is another tip on when to list your house for sale depending on weather conditions where you live. If you live in a warmer state with less snow, you can start listing your house farther in advance, perhaps in March or April. If you live in a colder state where inclement weather conditions are common, you should wait until the weather "breaks" or wait until at least late April to May to list.

Be aware of what's around you - You can guarantee that home buyers will be looking around your neighborhood and what's for sale, so it's vital that you take this step, too. Of course we would never suggest you sell your home below its value, but at the same time, if there's 10 houses up for sale in your proximity and they're all comparable to your house but with a cheaper price tag, its a guarantee that their house is a competitor. Be aware of your surroundings and you will sell your home in no time at all!

#SolarSunday

Having a pool to cool off and relax in is a luxury that is especially nice during these hot summer months. But, like most luxuries in life, time, energy, and money must be put into owning a pool. One of the costs associated with having a pool is the money it takes to heat a pool. If you are interested in swimming in your pool after the sun goes down or during cooler months, heating your pool is a viable option to consider. Check out some information about how solar hot water collectors can heat your pool. How does it work? Pool water gets pumped through a filter into a solar hot water collector. Solar hot water collectors are thin and generally mounted on a roof. Thin pipes of water then run through the collector. When the sun's rays hit the collector, they heat the running water inside.

Monday's Maintenance: Sealing Your Driveway

An asphalt driveway can be a real luxury if you're used to driving on rocks or dirt; however, asphalt does require a little extra work.
