(ARA) - In a perfect world, no one would ever have to face the challenge of trying to sell a house when there’s snow on the ground and the trees are bare. In reality, people have to sell and buy homes throughout the year.

While winter may not be the optimum season to showcase your landscaping, there is one improvement you can make that will help you boost your home’s outdoor appeal no matter what the season: a deck.

When potential buyers visit your home in winter, they might not be able to envision how green and lovely your backyard will look come spring. But they will be able to see with their own eyes the square footage that a deck adds to the home’s living space.

Decks, patios, sunrooms and porches have always been popu-lar with home buyers, but real estate agents say that too often those spaces are neglected or not used to their best advantage. Yet outdoor improvements like a deck can significantly enhance your home’s value and appeal. In fact, at the time of resale, a deck will recoup, on average, about 73 percent of the original cost of building it, according to Remodeling Magazine’s Cost vs. Value report.

“Anything that adds living space adds value, and the least expensive way to gain space is to build a deck or turn the one you have into an outdoor room by staging it so that it flows seam-lessly with the rest of the house,” says Mary Beth Harrison of The Harrison Group, a Dallas-based real estate agency. “A great deck

can set your home apart from others with the same interior floor plan or square footage, and deck additions typically add value when it comes time to sell.”

The cooler temperatures of fall and early winter make the sea-son a great time to add a deck to your home. Or, if you already have a deck, you can enhance its appeal by adding simple touches and accessories.

A bonus space - for example, a tiny deck or rarely used bal-cony off a master bedroom - can be transformed into a romantic getaway by staging it with cozy, cushioned seating and a raised firepit. You can safeguard your deck and add designer style with Latitudes deck stones, 16-inch interlocking square tiles made of natural slate or granite. Deck stones can provide an effective fire barrier that’s an asset under firepits or grills, or when used to create an outdoor kitchen.

Lighting is another way to boost appeal. LED deck lighting kits, like those offered by Deckorators, are both practical and visually appealing. Adding lighting to a deck can be an impor-tant safety feature, and also helps create a warm, welcoming mood for evening entertaining.

Another improvement that speaks to both safety and visual appeal are deck railings. Decorative railings with ornate balus-ters, post cap and postcovers can give virtually any wood or composite lumber deck a distinctive look for a modest invest-ment.

A beautiful deck can enhance the value of your home.

(ARA) - Whether you want to prepare your outdoor spaces for entertaining or you’re trying to make a great first impression on home buyers, now is the time to get the outside looking great. From fixing up the deck on the front porch to adding some colorful flowers to the landscaping, there are plenty of elements to make your home look more inviting.

Start by determining your home’s best exterior features, and then assess some improvements that you can tackle on your own and get the biggest bang for your buck. Here are some simple ways to help boost your curb appeal:

• Clean up clutterGetting rid of clutter and scrubbing

down grime should be the first steps in giving your home’s exterior a fresh new glow. Start by removing any unused items or dead plants from the yard. Clean out the gutters and consider power washing the front of the house. It might not look dirty, but you’d be amazed at how much dirt can accumulate and cause a dingy, dull appearance.

• Spruce up landscapingTake pride in your front yard and

make sure to keep up with regular lawn maintenance. This could mean adding some new shrubs, plants or flowers to the house, but start by fixing up and trimming down all existing yard fea-tures. Consider lining walkways with an attractive fence or adding a splash of color with potted plants or bright flowers. A few garden fix-ups can go a long way to improve an outsider’s first impression of your home.

• Add fresh featuresIf it’s in the budget, hit up a local

home and garden store to find some simple products to enhance existing elements. Maybe it’s a new mailbox, trendy yard decor, or even a shiny new fixture for the front door. You can also add a couple pieces of furniture to create a more welcoming atmosphere to the front porch. Consider a visit to second-hand shops or garage sales; you never know when a fresh coat of paint can make one man’s trash another man’s treasure.

• Prep your deckThe exterior of your home doesn’t

stop at the front yard - make sure it

looks inviting all the way around. Start by prepping the deck and applying a new coat of wood stain to enhance and beautify, while protecting your invest-ment for the future. The Flood brand of wood care products provides a com-plete line - from prepping and cleaning to staining and sealing - to help you get the job done and make your deck the

place to be.There are plenty of projects that can

make a huge difference to improve the look of your home without requiring you to spend a fortune on remodeling. Get a head start on a few of these week-end projects. Your home just might be the envy of all your neighbors this summer.

(ARA) - Who would risk the negative impact of defaulting on a mortgage if they didn’t really have to? About 17 percent of Americans who defaulted on their mortgages in the sec-ond quarter of 2010 did exactly that, according to a study by Experian, the leading global information services company.

“Strategic default” - choosing to stop paying on your mort-gage even if you can afford the monthly payments - peaked at the end of 2008 during the height of the Great Recession. At that time, strategic defaults accounted for 20 percent of all mortgage defaults 60 or more days overdue, according to Experian.

And while the percentage of Americans taking this option has steadily declined since then, the credit risks for strategic default-ers remain unchanged.

“Not paying your mortgage will have a far-reaching, long-lasting impact on your ability to secure future credit, regardless of the reason for your default,” says Charles Chung, Experian’s president of Decision Analytics. “Experian’s study indicates that many strategic defaulters continue to faithfully pay on their other debts. Some even purchase other homes for better terms before selectively defaulting on their upside-down mortgage.”

If you owe more on your home than its current market value, you may feel tempted to walk away from a bad investment, even if you can afford to make the monthly mortgage payment. But when considering strategic default, you should keep several factors in mind:

• Defaulting on your mortgage is the second most damaging

thing you can do to your credit, even if you continue to pay your other bills. Only bankruptcy will affect your credit score more adversely than foreclosure.

• Foreclosure remains on your credit report for seven years. During that time, securing other credit at reasonable terms and rates will be very difficult, if not impossible.

• Potential employers are looking at credit reports. In fact, 60 percent now check applicants’ credit reports, according to an article in the Washington Times. By impacting your credit, a strategic default may affect your ability to get a job.

• Last year, Fannie Mae, the government-controlled mort-gage giant, said it would implement a policy to prohibit strategic defaulters from getting a new Fannie Mae-backed mortgage for seven years from the date of foreclosure.

• Finally, in some cases, the debt that foreclosure “erases” may be recorded as income, which means you will have to pay taxes on it.

“Some may see strategic default as a way to get out of paying a bad debt,” Chung says. “But its associated costs like a lower credit score, higher interest rates and less ability to secure future credits, can wipe out the financial benefit of no longer having a mortgage payment.”

To learn more about credit management, credit reports, credit scores and the factors that affect them, visit www.Experian.com.

(ARA) - Selling your house may be a challenge in today’s real estate market, but with a bit of elbow grease and some good planning tips, you can entice potential buyers to view your home, and hopefully make a viable offer.

Before you even list your house for sale, take a good look at the property and your home. Consider curb appeal. Freshen up your landscaping, pick up any equipment or toys lying around and update your lights so the home looks as welcom-ing during the evening as it does during the day.

Take a walk through your house, starting with the garage. If you have a lot of tools and equipment stored there, consider finding a new place to store everything, so potential buyers can really see the garage. Keep your tools handy, but still out of sight by tucking everything into the back of your truck under an Access Roll-Up cover, manufactured by Agri-Cover, Inc., a North Dakota truck accessory company. Made of heavy-duty, double coated vinyl, the truck bed cover installs quickly and easily with a clamp-on installation and is designed spe-cifically to fit your truck. Since the roll-up cover is lockable, it will also protect all your tools and equipment while traveling. When not in use, the cover can be rolled up behind the cab and never has to be removed.

Next move inside. As you walk through the rooms, look at the walls, flooring, ceilings, lights and furniture. Paint is inexpensive, and a fresh coat can quickly spruce up the look of a room. If the room appears overcrowded, consider storing a piece of furniture to help open up the

space.You may determine some remodeling or repair work is

needed prior to listing your home. If you have holes in your drywall, or gutters that are clogged or broken, these are easy improvements that won’t cost you a lot of money, but can help you sell your house faster. Transporting tall ladders to reach the gutters or large sheets of drywall isn’t easy with just your pickup truck. But the Adarac Truck Bed Rack System will make this part of your home improvement project much easier. The truck bed rack sits neatly behind the cab, and is capable of carrying a 500-pound load with ease. Eyelets secure your load so you don’t lose it while going down the road.

Once you have your home looking good, do a little research to determine what list price you want to put on your home. Review prices for similar homes in your neighborhood and around your community. Pay to have your property assessed, especially if you do a couple of home improvement projects prior to the sale. And determine if you’d prefer to work with a real estate agent or try and sell the property yourself. There are benefits to both options, so research which might fit you better.

Your goal is to get your house sold, as quickly as possible and close to the price you’re asking. The best way to accom-plish this is to get as many people looking at your property as you can. So before you decide to list your house, try some of these tips to put your best house forward.

(ARA) - With sales of new and existing homes remaining slow nationwide, many homeowners are looking for ways to add value now. Installing stylish interior doors and replacing old exterior trim are two great ways to make your home look even better today and sell it for more later.

New doors add styleDoors can offer so much more than entry into a room.

Because they are made in various panel designs and can be easily painted or stained, interior doors have become a key part of a home’s overall decor.

“Many homes have plain flush doors that look rather bor-ing,” says Bob Merrill, president and CEO for Chicago-based CMI, which makes CraftMaster Interior Doors. “One of the easiest ways to dramatically change the look inside your home is by replacing your current doors with raised- or flat-panel molded doors. New doors add fresh style, character and per-sonality.”

Molded interior doors are made to resist swelling, shrinking, cracking and splitting. “CraftMaster also makes eco-friendly green doors that contain sustainable materials, recycled con-tent, low VOC primers and have low formaldehyde emis-sions,” Merrill adds.

Typically, a home has around 17 interior doors, including passage and bifold (closet) doors. In many homes, those doors have a hollow core. Replacing standard, hollow core doors with solid core doors to add weight and reduce noise is a popular DIY project.

Installing new doors requires a few basic carpentry tools. Many homeowners purchase pre-hung doors. You also can choose to keep the existing frame and simply replace the doors, called slabs. In this case, you should heed a few instal-lation tips:

• Ensure the slab door is squarely in the frame, then lock it in position with a cross brace.

• Use wood shims between the jambs and the studs, as nec-essary, to ensure a plumb, square and proper fit.

• Keep the frame flush with proper positioning of the cross brace.

• Add trim by cutting, gluing and nailing it in place after the slab door has been installed.

Exterior trim that wowsWhen it comes to your home, first impressions are every-

thing. Nothing makes a worse initial impression than exterior trim that is cracked, rotted, peeling or falling apart.

Walk around your house and inspect the exterior trim on the corners, around your windows and doors and up near the roofline. Do you see peeling paint, warped boards, or any splitting or cracking? Is there any damage from water or termites? If so, now is the best time to replace your trim.

Traditional wood trim often looks fine when first installed, but it can split and swell, and is prone to knots and defects. Other materials, like PVC and fiber cement trim have perfor-mance limitations and may pose installation challenges.

(ARA) - Some misconceptions are merely inconvenient. And some - like the many myths that surround the use of fire sprin-klers in homes - can be deadly.

The federal government and more than 400 local governments - not to mention the national model building code authority, the International Code Council - have all recommended that all new homes offer this life safety system. In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a business that is not protected by fire sprinklers. Yet mis-conceptions persist about the cost, convenience and effectiveness of home fire sprinklers, where 80 percent of all fire deaths occur.

“As a volunteer firefighter, I regularly see the devastation to families and their property due to home fires,” says Eric Skare of Lakeville, Minn. Skare, who works for fire-safety systems maker Uponor, is a fire safety expert. “Many of these people live right in my own community, and their losses are seared in my memory.”

Whether you’re building a new home or renovating an existing one, it’s important to know the truth behind some common fire sprinkler myths:

Myth: Installing home fire sprinklers is too expensive.Reality: On average, installing a stand-alone fire sprinkler sys-

tem - the kind that runs off a separate, dedicated system of water pipes - in a new construction home adds just 1 to 1.5 percent to the total building cost, according to the Home Fire Sprinkler Coalition.

That expense drops even lower when adding a multipur-pose system, which combines the cold-water plumbing and the fire sprinklers into a single, efficient system. Installation

costs for a multipurpose system, like those made by Uponor, averages 57 cents less per square foot than traditional stand-alone systems - a savings of $1,368 for a 2,400-square-foot home, according to the Fire Protection Research Foundation. What’s more, the foundation reports, home insurers give an average premium discount of 7 percent to homes with fire sprinkler systems.

Myth: Smoke alarms alone are enough protection against fires.Reality: Smoke alarms can alert you to the presence of smoke,

but do nothing to put out a fire. Home fire sprinkler systems act quickly to reduce heat, flames and smoke from a fire, giving you valuable time to get out safely. “Sprinklers put out most home fires in seconds, before the fire department arrives and before there’s major damage,” says Jayson Drake of Uponor North America.

Functioning smoke alarms reduce by 50 percent the risk of someone dying in a home fire. That risk decreases by 80 per-cent when sprinklers are present, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA).

Myth: Fire sprinklers can cause excessive water damage to your home and belongings.

Reality: Fire sprinklers actually minimize damage. Fires cause more than $8.5 billion in direct property damage every year, according to the NFPA. Fire hoses discharge up to 250 gallons of water per minute into a burning home, causing significant damage as firefighters work to control and extinguish the fire. Sprinklers, use just 15 gallons of water per minute.

(ARA) - If you’re selling your home, you’ve probably heard about the value of “staging” it. Visually appealing deco-rative touches and artful arrangement of furnishings can help potential buy-ers recognize the appeal of your home and picture themselves living there. To strengthen your staging efforts, don’t overlook the positive power of aroma.

Shopping malls and upscale bou-tiques use the technique of applying ambient scents in retail spaces to not only make the place smell good, but to elicit a planned psychological response that is meant to transform all of those “no thanks, just browsing” guests into cash paying customers. You can do the same to propel sluggish real estate sales.

Known as ambient fragrancing or scent marketing, the practice has spawned a whole subcategory of experts and products within the traditional fra-grance industry. The result is an excit-ing new diversification of a category of goods and services that has been limited to perfume and scented body

care applications.Ambient fragrance started to trickle

into the real estate market years ago with savvy agents baking cookies or cinnamon rolls in the homes they were showing to create a comforting, deli-ciously scented atmosphere that was meant to entice buyers. If you are strug-gling to sell a home in today’s frozen real estate market, you may have tried this technique. But with the dismal state of the economy and the glut of available homes, you are surely going to have to bake a lot of cookies before a buyer will be impressed enough to make an offer on your house.

“The essential oils that are used in the practice of aromatherapy offer a more practical and potent way to use scent marketing to move a tired property,” says Tom Havran, branded products developer with Aura Cacia.

An added bonus is that since essen-tial oils are all-natural and distilled from plants, they are less likely to illicit the kind of adverse reactions that often come with harshly synthetic wall sock-

et plug-ins or spray fragrances. Learn more at www.auracacia.com.

Create a warm, comforting atmo-sphere that can help put potential prop-erty buyers at ease with Vanilla Amber Aroma Crystals. Use real vanilla (such as Vanilla Precious Essentials oil from Aura Cacia).

Ingredients:1 cup coarse-grained, chunky sea salt1 teaspoon jojoba or grapeseed oil

(just enough to make the salts glisten and gleam)

20 drops vanilla Precious Essential oil

10 drops lavender essential oil10 drops sweet orange essential oilDirections:Mix salt and oils, pour into a classy-

looking dish or bowl and set out on a table. Placing the crystals in a warm sunny window or near a heat register will help diffuse the delicious aroma throughout the room. Stir in additional essential oils to boost the scent as need-ed. This recipe sets a restful and roman-tic mood in the bedroom area.
