Find Out What a Home Improvement Project Will Mean to Your Western MA Home’s Value

Home Improvement (TV series)

If you are considering making a home improvement to your Western MA home, you may wonder what that improvement will do to the bottom line of your home’s value.

Some renovations make a bigger impact than others and it is smart to know an estimate of the value before making the investment.  Even if you aren’t thinking of selling your Western MA home now, it makes sense to keep up to date on market values.

I have access to a tool that can calculate a reliable figure for most common home improvements.

“Hanley Wood, a provider of housing development market data, is the source of the home improvement data that supports (the) “Refine Value Based on Home Improvement”.  Hanley Wood is known for collecting and aggregating residential and commercial construction data, and for publishing magazines such as Remodeling.

The home improvement data are produced at a regional level, and refactored at the ZIP code level for the most accurate results. The data are updated annually.”

The tool supports improvements from window replacements, decks, kitchen renovations and even additions.

Is Your Western MA Home a Smart Home?

I ran into this system today, the Smart home by SmartThings.

You can set up your house to run via voice commands or your smartphone.  Want to make sure the space heater or window a/c are on before you get home?  Use your phone to set it.

Want to know when the kids come and go or be able to turn on a light?

The starter kit is less than $300 on Amazon. 

I am very interested in this…might have to invest in it to bring my home up to the proper level of “geekiness” for this real estate geek girl.

Do you have this system?  Does it work for you?smartthings

Grey is the new neutral in home decor in Western MA and beyond

 

You may have noticed a new neutral tone has entered the world of home decor: grey is becoming a popular new twist in neutrals.

It is a nice option because it is not too feminine and has an updated feel to it.  It mixes great with other neutrals like beige, cream and black.  It makes a great backdrop for layers of texture or even a bright addition of color to spice it up.

If you are trying to choose a new color scheme for a room in your home you can find wonderful options ranging from very light to charcoal that might be the perfect update to your home.

Enjoy The Journey – a Westfield, MA REALTOR’S Reminder

enjoy the journey by westfield, ma realtor

Being a Westfield, MA REALTOR can get stressful.  Sometimes that stress can get me down.

Over the last month I have embarked on a self managed “attitude adjustment”.  At my sister’s urging, I began meditating regularly, which has made an almost immediate improvement.

Since adopting our adorable dog, Tate, I am getting outside and walking more which is not only good for my body, but my spirit, too, since I love to be outside (most of the time).

I also have been adding moments of gratitude to my day.  As I walk to my car each time I think of one thing I am grateful for and remind myself before I unlock the door.  When I sit down at the end of a long day I take a moment to be present in my home and be grateful for a safe, warm home.

You don’t have to be a Westfield, MA REALTOR to relate, do you?

Next up I plan to start keeping a gratitude journal.  I used to do this and each night I would find five things I was grateful for in that day.  Some days were harder than others, but in considering what I would chose to write down, I would be forced to remember that even just waking up is an item to for which to be grateful.

Today I found the image in the post above and thought that quote was the perfect mantra and reminder as I work on myself, my attitude and my happiness.   I hope it helps  you, too!

I will keep expanding on these efforts, because I need to remind myself that life is the whole thing…the living is THE thing and I need to enjoy the journey.
