4 Easy-Living, Universal Design Tips for Any Home

1

Tips for selling your home in today’s market

Little things like painting, depersonalizing the house so buyers can envision themselves living there, getting rid of clutter and rearranging rooms to highlight the best features are essential.

PRICE AGGRESSIVELYYou need to ask for at least 1%

less than competing homes. - USA TODAY

90% of buyers are starting their search online, according to the National Association of Realtors.

“The single biggest change in the real estate market since the Great Recession is tighter fi nancing, according to John Vogel Jr., real estate professor at Dartmouth’s Tuck School of Business.” A sellers understanding and willingness to compromise to make the sale work can make all the diffrence. -USA TODAY

Universal design refers to broad-spectrum ideas meant to produce buildings, products and environments that are inherently accessible to both people without

disabilities and people with disabilities.These days, universal design features are an everyday fact of life for many households.

You don’t have to be a pro designer to incorporate this smart thinking into your own home. If you’re remodeling or simply adding a few upgrades, be sure to keep universal design features in mind. There are lots of resources that’ll give you some great starting points.

As we remodel our 1972 ranch-style house (we’re on the multi-year, budget-as-you-go plan), my wife and I have incorporated several low-cost, easy-to-do UD features. A few of our favorites:

1. Switch out doorknobs for lever-style handles. Doorknobs require lots of dexterity and torque to open; with levers you simply press and go.

* Artical Continues on Page 5

Susan HorakRealtor, CRS,

GRI, ABR

Makes sense for folks with arthritis, of course, but think about an emergency situation when everyone, including small kids, needs to exit fast: A lever handle is a safe, foolproof way to open a door.A big plus: Levers are good-looking and can contribute to the value of your home. A standard interior passage door lever in a satin nickel fi nish costs about $20; you’ll pay $25 to $30 for a lockable lever set for your bath or bedroom. Replacing door hardware is an easy DIY job.

2. Replace toggle light switches with rocker-style switches. Rocker switches feature a big on/off plate that you can operate with a fi nger, a knuckle, or even your elbow when you’re laden with bags of groceries.Rocker switches are sleek and good-looking, too. Ever notice how conventional toggle switches get dirt and grime embedded in them after a couple of years? No more! You’ll pay $2 for a single-pole rocker switch, up to $10 for multiple switch sets.

3. Anti-scald devices for your bathroom prevent water from reaching unsafe temps. An anti-scald shower head ($15) reduces water fl ow to a trickle if the water gets too hot. An anti-scald faucet device ($40) replaces your faucet aerator and also reduces hot water fl ow.

Staging Your Home Right!How to make your home shine to attract a buyer

The fi rst impression is often the most important one when it comes to buying a new home. The goal is to select things for the house that will have the house show best and make the house look most appealing. Staging is not the same as decorating. When you decorate your home you are making choices that refl ect your personal taste. Staging works to the opposite effrect. Staging is about deciding how to best arrange and accent the home so that it shows and appeals to the broadest audience possible. As the market becomes more and more competitive, staging becomes more and more important. Where an empty house may require lots of staging to show the perspective buyer how furniture would interact with the space, an occupied home may need ‘empty-ing’ of personal items like family photos or items of a narrow appeal that would advertise the home to a niche audience.

See how much staging can do! We took a home in Harrisburg, Missouri and used staging to give the home a new look. The home was beautiful: amazing landscaping, great lines, and a pool! The only problem was that the home’s furniture and accent pieces were about 30 years out of date. It only took one day, a few buckets of paint, and a little elbow grease to transform this country home into a Tuscan palace.

• Want a comfortable place for your new employees to stay while they are learning about the neighborhoods and all that Columbia has to offer?• Need a place to call home while you are house hunting or building?

Anti-scald valves — also known as pressure-balancing valves — prevent changes in water pressure from creating sudden bursts of hot or cold water. An anti-scald valve ($100) installs on plumbing pipes inside your walls. If you don’t have DIY skills, you’ll pay a plumber $100 to $200 for installation.

4. Motion sensor light controls add light when you need it. They come in a variety of styles and simple technologies. I like the plug-in sensors ($10 to $15). You simply stick them into existing receptacles, then plug your table or fl oor lamps into them. When the sensor detects motion, it turns on the light.

They’re great for 2 a.m. snacking, or if your young kids are at that age when they migrate into your bed in the middle of the night. The lights turn off after about 10 minutes if no more motion is detected.

When incorporating these UD elements into your home remember to consider the devices asthetics. When it comes time to sell your home you will want to present a beautiful, safe and functional home to potential buyers!
