How to determine which type of home buying market you are in?
If there are more buyers than sellers then it is a seller’s market. If there are more homes for sale than there are buyers, then it is a buyer’s market.
If you are a seller, then being able to sell your home whether it’s in a buyer’s market or a seller’s market is the goal. Selling your home is a big life-changing event that can be bother costly and time-consuming. This is why it is so important to know what kind of market you are in and approach the market accordingly.
The first step in the process is to figure out what type of market you are currently in. It can only be one of two types, a seller’s market or a buyer’s market. When you are in a buyer’s market, it is a little bit harder to sell a home. This means that there are more listings than there are potential buyers. You have a lot more competition when it comes to selling. In a seller’s market, it is less demanding on a seller. This means there are more potential buyers than there are listings. A seller can usually list for top prices and get multiple offers, selling their home more quickly.
A seller has to work hard in a buyer’s market. That means a seller needs to do more to have their house stands out in an inundated market. Make sure your home is staged. You want a potential buyer to come into the house and be able to envision themselves in the home. Professional home stagers can work with your Realtor to stage your home. A big part of the process is cleaning, decluttering and removing personal artifacts.
Not only is the interior important but your home’s curb appeal must be eye-catching. The yard and exterior are the first things that potential buyers see when they come to see your home in person. Make sure your yard is clean and tidy. You will also want to repaint outdoor fixtures and your front door.
Buyers have the upper hand so a seller needs to be prepared to make concessions. Keep in mind that in a buyer’s market, you might need to negotiate on your asking price, be flexible with the closing date, pay for some of the repairs, and waive certain contingencies if requested.
In a seller’s market, the demands are not as demanding. This doesn’t mean that you should list your home for an inflated price, but you should price your home fairly. If you price your home too high, it can be skipped by potential buyers who are looking online within a certain budget. Remember some offers may sound too good to be true. You will want to weigh multiple offers very carefully. Sometimes choosing the highest offer is not always the best way to go.
No matter what the current market, it is important to use a Realtor when it comes to selling your home. A Realtor can help you navigate both markets and get you the best price for the best home.

What are some ways to plan a sunroom addition to your house?
Choose a location
Define the purpose of the sunroom
Choose window types and placement
Decide if it will be climate controlled
A sunroom is a perfect place to enjoy the view of the outdoors during any season. A sunroom is not only a great space for a homeowner but also will add value to your home. Follow these four tips when planning the perfect sunroom addition. 
The first step is to determine where you want to add your sunroom. If you love sunlight and want to have the most sunlight in your sunroom, then it should be built along a south-facing wall. If you are a morning person and love to watch the sunrise, then place it along an east-facing wall.
Next, you will want to define the purpose of your sunroom. A sunroom functions as many different rooms, it is all up to the homeowner. Many popular choices are a family room, a home office, or an entertaining guest space.
You will want to now decide on windows and their placement. If you want to create a screened porch look you will need to use floor-to-ceiling windows. Other good options for a sunroom are awning windows or sliding windows. These allow fresh air into a home’s sunroom.
The last thing to consider is whether the sunroom should be climate controlled. A four-season sunroom is climate controlled and can be both heated and cooled. This can range from a ceiling fan to extending the HVAC system in the sunroom. Other options can also include insulated glass and windows that can open.
What are some of the most popular window treatments?
These include blinds and shutters.
Blinds and shutters are perfect window treatments for both traditional and modern style homes. Many homeowners not only want something that is functional but also something that is stylish. Today on the market there are tons of different blinds. Here are some types of blinds that are currently in style today.
Wood blinds are sold, natural-looking blinds that add both style and value to a home. Wood blinds are custom and will last a long time. A wooden blind will add texture, depth and dimension to your windows. 
Faux wood blinds are more budget-friendly than real wood custom blinds. Don’t be fooled, faux wood blinds are still high-quality treatments and look like real wood blinds. Faux wood blinds are great for areas that have more moisture such as kitchens and bathrooms.
These types of blinds are solid and durable. They are an all-purpose window blind that is budget-friendly. The small slats give a modern, crisp, clean feel to your window. Again, these are perfect for bathrooms or kitchens where they will not get moldy or warped.
Louvered shutters a great choice as they are a traditional framed blind with an exposed vertical tilt bar in the middle of the panel for opening and closing, are the peak of posh for window treatments. These shutters can either be wood or faux wood.
These are perfect for sliding glass doors or patio doors. They come in a huge variety of colors. They can also come in designer fabrics.
This recent trend is perfect for a nice smooth look on your glass doors. The custom sliding panel track blinds make a stunning statement on large windows are glass sliding doors.
Fabric blinds are a perfect item to use to soften up a room. They are a softer version on the eyes than regular classic blinds. These blinds can be made with a custom farbic.
