5 tips to help sell your home (Murfreesboro, Smyrna, LaVergne TN)

Home sales are slowly recovering but it’s still a buyer’s a market.  Before you put your home on the market, here are some tips to help spruce up your home. 

Paint –

Using the right colors can make your home on the inside look brighter and bigger.  Earth tones are popular choices and generally go over well. 

Landscaping –

You don’t have to go overboard but make sure your grass, shrubs and flower beds look appealing.  Landscaping can boost curb appeal. 

What about the kitchen –

If you are going to make improvements to your house, the kitchen is where you want to make the investment.  According to experts there is an 80% return on investment for kitchen remodeling.  In a lot of cases the kitchen can make or break the deal.  Once again, don’t overboard but you can do small things like upgrading the knobs on the cabinets or even sanding and painting the cabinets a different color. Give your kitchen a wow factor.

Bathroom –

The bathroom is another potential area that can turn off potential buyers.  Remodeling a bathroom can be expensive.  But you can do simple things like using earth tone colors to paint the walls, re-glaze the tub to make it look new and change out mirrors and lighting fixtures. 

Carpets –

If you still have carpet in your house make sure it is clean, or replaced.  If the carpet is badly worn or has a few stains, it will turn off your potential buyer or give them opportunity to ask for an allowance.

Overall, you want your home to look better than your neighbors’ homes.. Ahhh factors on the inside and outside = a sold home.

Below is some information about the Murfree Spring Wetlands –

	Murfree Spring Wetlands is a 25-acre city park and under the jurisdiction of the City of Murfreesboro Parks and Recreation Department. It is located at the corner of Maney and Broad streets. Walking trails and raised boardwalks wind through the wetlands, while the plaza area boasts an amphitheater and water features. The area offers parking, restrooms and a playground, all of which has easy access to the Discovery Center, a hands-on children’s museum. Wetlands are among the most productive ecosystems in the world, comparable to rain forests and coral reefs. The restoration and preservation of this irreplaceable resource in Murfreesboro serves not only local wildlife, but also teaches our citizens to love, appreciate, and protect wetlands everywhere.
	The site was once a water treatment plant that now teaches young and old alike about the role water plays in our everyday lives. Its presence on the site was a guiding theme in the design. Targeted towards a child’s curiosity and sense of whimsy, the railings, fountains, and paving patterns have been designed to capture the industrial and mechanical look of the equipment in the old plant and the fluid characteristics of water in the environment. Several pieces of old pump equipment were salvaged from the water treatment plant and refurbished as environmental sculptures in the plaza.
	Silhouettes of popular wetland flora and fauna form interactive interpretive signage along the boardwalks. A retaining wall becomes the History Wall, depicting a timeline of the area from prehistoric to current happenings on the site. Stepping stones through a pond-like water feature demonstrate an aquatic food chain. Opportunities for learning abound.

Home Depot reported better than expected earnings and provided a positive forecast, which is a good sign that the housing industry could be making a comeback.  Amazon and Saks is coming to town and collectively bringing 1700 jobs.  General Mills is expanding their plant and adding new jobs.

In December 2011, Congress reached a deal to fund the payroll tax cut extension. The extension will benefit Americans earning $106,800 or less.  But in order to compensate for this extension, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac have to increase their guaranteed fee’s (g-fees) by at least 10 basis points.  The consumer will probably see an increase of .125% on a new home loan.

This rate change will go into effect by April 2012 and will impact new Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac borrowers.  The good news is that interest rates are still at an all time low.  Now, is a great time to purchase a new home or refinance.
