A minor kitchen remodel can add major value to your home.
According to a recent Houzz study, here are some of the most coveted choices when it comes to kitchen renovations:
🏠Flooring. No more tile in the kitchen? Ceramic and porcelain tile ( #1 last year) has fallen in popularity. It now ranks #3 behind hardwood and vinyl/resilient flooring.
🏠Islands. Kitchen islands keep growing. Nearly 40% of homeowners are opting for islands longer than 7 feet–a significant increase over the previous year.
🏠Technology Integrations. Smart kitchens are becoming more popular in our digital world. 35% of homeowners choose appliances with high-tech features, like wireless smartphone and tablet controls.

How will you celebrate Earth Day tomorrow?
One way is to make some changes to your home energy use.
The following shifts can have a significant impact on the planet (and your bank account!):
🌱 Write “turn off lights” on post-it notes and place them next to your light switches if you have a habit of forgetting to turn off the lights.
🌱 Install energy-saving light bulbs, which use up to 90% less energy than standard bulbs.
🌱 Change your HVAC filters every 90 days, which can increase your system’s efficiency and cut down on heating and cooling costs.

Should you get a reverse mortgage?
While it can be a great way to supplement your retirement income, there are some things to watch out for:
⚠️ High fees
To get and finalize your reverse mortgage, you’ll be paying a range of fees that can add up quickly.
⚠️ Variable or high interest rate
The interest rate is often higher than that for a standard mortgage. It may also be variable, rather than fixed, which means it can increase in the future.
⚠️ Less money for your heirs
The remaining amount of your estate will need to be repaid when you’re no longer here, usually in a specific period of time, which can be costly and stressful for your family.
This is why, in some cases, downsizing can be a better option. If you’re deciding between the two, contact us to discuss your options and make the best choice for your needs.
