To attract buyers, sellers must upthe ante to convince them that theirproperty offers what many want most- top value for dollar expended . Hereare eight fast fixes :1. Buff up curb appeal. You've

heard it before, but it's critical to getbuyers to want to look on the inside.Be objective . View listings from thestreet. Check the condition of thelandscaping, paint, roof, shutters, frontdoor, knocker, windows, house num-ber, and even how window treatmentslook from the outside. Add something special -such as big flower pots or an antique bench - tohelp viewers remember house A from B.2. Enrich with color. Paint's cheap, but forget the

adage that it must be white or neutral. Just don't letsellers get too avant-garde with jarring pinks, or-anges, and purples. Recommend soft colors thatsay "welcome," lead the eye from room to room,and flatter skin tones. Think soft yellows and palegreens. Tint ceilings a lighter shade.3. Upgrade the kitchen and bathroom. These

make-or-break rooms can spur a sale. But besidesmaking each squeaky clean and clutter-free, updatethe pulls, sinks, and faucets. In a kitchen, add onecool appliance, such as an espresso maker. In thebathroom, hang a flatscreen TV to mimic a hotel.Room service, anyone?4. Add old-world patina. Make Andrea Palladio

proud. Install crown molding at least six to nine

inches in depth, proportional to theroom's size, and architecturally com-patible. For ceilings nine feet high orhigher , add dentil detailing, smalltooth-shaped blocks used as a repeat-ing ornament. It's all in the details,after all.5. Screen hardwood floors. Buyers

favor wood over carpet, but refinish-ing is costly and time consuming.Screening cuts dust, time, and ex-pense . What it entails: a light sand-ing, not a full stripping of color or

polyurethane, then a coat of finish.6. Clean out, organize closets. Get sorting - or-

ganize your piles into "don't need," "haven't worn,"and "keep." Closets must be only half-full so buy-ers can visualize fitting their stuff in.7. Update window treatments. Buyers want light

and views, not dated, fancy-schmancy drapes thatdarken. To diffuse light and add privacy, considerenergy-efficient shades and blinds.8. Hire a home inspector. Do a preemptive strike,

since busy home owners seek maintenance free liv-ing. Fix problems before you list the home andthen display receipts and wait for buyers to offerkudos to sellers for being so responsible.Reprinted from REALTOR® Magazine with

Andwith the continuingchallenging economy,more home ownershave decided to stay intheir current homelonger, which has cre-

ated higher demand forremodeling. A survey released by

the National Associa-tion of Home Builders(NAHB) in 2012shows that common re-modeling projects haveincreased, compared toa similar survey from2010. And nearly 50percent of remodelersreport seeing an in-crease in the number ofhome owners who un-dertake remodels toavoid moving, com-pared to the 2010 find-

ings.Bathroom and kitchen

remodeling remain thetwo most commontypes of jobs, as theyhave been consistentlysince 2001. After 2009,however, bathroom andkitchen remodelingswitched places—bath-rooms became the mostfrequent type of job forprofessional remodel-ers. Seventy-eight per-cent of the surveyrespondents cited bath-room remodeling asone of the most com-mon jobs, an all-timehigh.Home owners are fre-

quently asking for ahigh-end spa feel totheir new bathrooms,with features and mate-rials such as televisionscreens built into mir-rors, exotic wood fin-ishes, recycled glass

tiles and sophisti-cated light-ingsystems.Otherpopularfeatures in-clude thosethat enable a homeowner to stay in theirhome as they age; in-cluding step-in tubsand shower stallbenches and rails. Both kitchen and

bathroom remodelingprojects were up 17percent from two yearsago. Other popular jobs

were window and doorreplacements, room ad-ditions, handymanservices and wholehouse remodeling, al-though whole house re-modeling is downsignificantly from itspeak in the mid-2000s.

The motivationbehindmanyhomeowners’decision

to re-model has

changed as well. Thetop two reasons for re-modeling were theneed to repair or re-place old or outdatedcomponents and thedesire for better andnewer amenities. Morethan 50 percent of re-modelers said thatthese two reasons forremodeling have be-come more commonover the past two years.In contrast, more than

20 percent of remodel-ers said there was a de-crease in customersremodeling to increasehome values as an in-vestment or to prepare

for a sale (whether dis-tressed or not). Remod-eling to accommodatea change in the numberof people living in thehome also received lowscores. Whether they are in-

spired by the amazingmakeovers shown ontelevision shows, ortheir changing lifestylenecessitates repurpos-ing spaces to makemore efficient use oftheir home’s squarefootage, home ownersare turning to profes-sional remodelers tohelp improve theirhome.

(ARA) - As fall ap-proaches, the daylighthours are dwindling,kids are headed back toschool, and the lazydays of summer willsoon be long forgotten.As you establish newroutines, it seems likethere are 10 additionaltasks to handle eachday, and cleaning,while one of the mostimportant things onyour to-do list, oftenfalls to the bottom dueto lack of time.In fact, a recent CLR

Brands survey revealedthat on average,women spend 15.5

hours-per week clean-ing in and around thehome while men spend10 hours per week, asignificant amount oftime. Ever wonderedhow to clean more ef-fectively and quickly,to actually find someextra time to spend onyour favorite thingsthis fall?One idea is to get the

whole family involvedand not let cleaning be-come an insurmount-able chore. With someplanning and team-work, you can makecleaning a fun event inyour household and

teach your kids (andsignificant other) totake pride in theirhome by taking respon-sibility to each keep upwith a few simple tasksso your home never be-comes a disaster zone.CLR (www.clr -

brands.com) cleaningexperts share top tips tohelp you make themost of your time andclean more efficiently.For more inspiration onhow to transform yourhome, see below.Tips and tricks for

speedy fall cleaning:* Figure out who

likes doing what best.

If someone prefers tohandle the yard workand the kids love pol-ishing silver or unload-

ing the dishwasher, di-vide it up so the act ofdoing chores doesn’tseem as tedious. Or,designate a familycleaning day and clar-ify who will be doingwhat and when.* Pre-game. Before

the big day, assign eachperson a room to prepso that once you attackwith your gloves onand product in hand,you’re not wasting pre-cious time and energyfiguring out what goesin the junk drawer,what should be thrownout and what should bekept.* Multitask. Several

products can do double(if not triple) duty. Forexample, CLR workson showerheads, porce-lain, chrome, glass-ware, fiberglass,stainless steel andgrout, and can even re-move sprinkler spotson outdoor windowsand remove stains andmold smells from yourwashing machine.Grease Magnet cleansgrills, smokers andtenacious garage floorstains and Stone

Cleaner brings thesparkle back to deli-cate, hard-to-clean sur-faces like granite,marble, Corian and tile.* Get the hardest part

out of the way first.Medical professionalsare taught to sanitize aroom by starting withthe dirtiest area andworking toward thecleanest, and youshould do the same.Tackle the most time-consuming areas(scum-soaked showerdoors, greasy grills, ordirt and dust on top offans) first and thenwork toward the lesstime-intensive ones.* Create rewards or

foster healthy competi-tion with kids. For en-terprising children,showing them how youcan find silver-trea-sures- and polish themto sparkle is a greatway to get kids in-volved. You can evenmake it a game by sug-gesting that the personwho can get an oldpiece of silver theshiniest will beawarded a prize.
