• Think carefully about the lighting, not just the design but also the impact it can have on your home’s appearance.
• Lower part of the floor in your living room to create a cozy conversation pit, invite your friends over for wine parties.
• Build a nook for your dog under the stairs, give them a special place that’s their own.
• Install network wiring to rooms where you’ll be using computers, quit worrying if your wifi is working or not.
• If you plan to do a lot of entertaining, install two dishwashers instead of one- make cleaning up less of a chore.
• If you live in an area with a lot of bugs, build an in-wall pest control system that gives the exterminator easy access to where they’ll be hiding
• If you have the space, install a walk-in shower and never have to clean a glass door again.
• Build both garbage and recycling bins into your kitchen cabinets- no more bottles rolling out of the blue bin.
• Build a bar into your back deck and create a gathering place you can enjoy with your friends.

• Put a sink with water jets into your laundry room for a place to wash your delicates.
• Install a central vacuuming system with vacuum baseboards- never have to struggle with a dustpan again.
• Install accordion windows between your kitchen and the back deck, allow the cook to keep up with the conversation while their guests are standing outside.
• Install a double-sided fireplace between your bedroom and master bath, relax in the bathtub beside a cozy and warm fire.
• Add a balcony to your master bedroom, creating a cozy nook for you and your partner where you can drink wine together in your special private place.
• A new generation of home automation technology is becoming available through the “Internet of things” that can save energy, improve your home’s safety, and centrally control your home’s lighting- live the future today.
• Connecting a radiant floor heating system to your home automation system means never having to wake-up to cold tiles again.

Learn Real Estate Prices in Your Area

It’s no secret that real estate prices can be confusing to some. If you happen to fall into this category, there’s no reason to panic. Simply pick up the phone and call the experts at Previn Court Homes.

Scheduling an appointment is the best way to get all of your questions about the real estate market answered. Honestly, it’s the first step to purchasing the home of your dreams. Why not get started today?

Believe it or not, Facebook not only affects millions of people virtually, it also affects real estate prices. When the company decided to move its headquarters from one location to another, prices in the area skyrocketed. As you might guess, this phenomenon was both good and bad, for several reasons. Continue reading, to learn more.

Facebook’s Big Move

In 2011, Facebook announced that they would relocate from their long time home in Palo Alto, California to the neighboring city of Menlo Park. They completed their move this year, moving their headquarters to a 430,000 square foot office building designed by Frank Gehry. Since their move, both of these communities have experienced drastic changes in the prices of surrounding real estate.

Pressure in East Palo Alto

East Palo Alto, a city that neighbors Palo Alto, is the most affordable community located in Silicon Valley. The community stands strong after a sometimes painful past brought on by market crises and racially discriminatory practices. Now, the people of East Palo Alto live in fear of losing their homes to soaring real estate prices.

An Outdated Model

In an article on TechCrunch.com, Kim-Mai Cutler suggests that the problem is an outdated model of development. Tech companies are paying $90 per square foot for real estate in nearby Mountain View, which can be very discouraging to developing businesses and startups in search of real estate. But, housing projects and other changes to these cities’ physical infrastructure are slowed by exclusionary zoning and slow-growth policies.

Positive Changes

The city of Menlo Park has approved some changes that could help to keep real estate prices under control. A 394 unit residential complex has been approved, and will be built near Facebook’s headquarters.

In addition, the city plans to add 202 units to their downtown area. Facebook has also taken steps to help out their new home. In February, the company acquired 56 acres of property in Menlo Park, and has made it clear that they are open to doing more with the property than just opening new office space.

Purchasing a home can be confusing. If you’re considering the purchase of a new residence, one of the first questions you’re typically going to ask yourself is “can I afford a mortgage?”

Fortunately, there are many online tools that have been created to help you find an answer. Once you have this answer, you’ll find it much easier to proceed. Continue reading, to find out more about two of these handy tools, which are at your disposal.

Mortgage Qualifier Tool

One of the great things about using an online calculator tool, such as this one, is that you can plug-in numbers to research many different scenarios. A mortgage qualifier tool does just what the name implies. It helps determine whether or not you qualify for a home mortgage based on criteria that include your income and monthly expenses.

To answer the question “can I afford a mortgage,” you simply enter information like the value of the property you’re interested in, the amount of money you’ve saved for a down payment, your preferred annual interest rate and the preferred term of your loan.

When that’s done, the tool asks for things like your annual income, heating costs, car payments and amount of all of your other bills. According to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada, if your down payment is less than 20 percent, you can only qualify for a mortgage that’s based on a five-year fixed-rate.

Mortgage Calculator Tool

The mortgage calculator tool is used to come up with a schedule for your mortgage payments. It shows you how much money you can actually save by making either pre-payments or paying extra on the principle of the loan.

Many homeowners, who ask themselves “can I afford a mortgage,” are pleasantly surprised to learn how much money can be saved simply by making one or two extra payments per year. Cutting back on things like take-out food and entertainment makes it easy to save up to make the additional payments.

It should be noted that any online calculator does not take the place of professional financial advice. Your particular mortgage lender may calculate things in a completely different way.

What’s Your Next Step?

Now that you’re more familiar with mortgage tools, in general, you probably have additional questions other than “can I afford a mortgage“. If so, this is an excellent time to contact the financial division of Previn Court Homes.

Knowledgeable staff members are waiting to help you find the home of your dreams, with payments you can afford. Why not give them a call to schedule an appointment today? Your new home awaits you!
