Spring is finally here, its time to get our home looking refreshed and colorful for the outdoor activities that are to come. So get your garden gloves on because it is time to pick out some weeds and help the flowers bloom! Learn more in this RealEstate.com article by Tim Layton.
As winter comes to a close and the snow on the ground begins to melt for the last time, a sense of excitement always builds. The change in weather will bring with it a change in lifestyle as our weekends move outdoors and we remember words like “cookout” and “swimming.”
Spring is a great time for parties, vacations and festivals. It’s also a great time to get out there and fix up that house a little bit! No more excuses! Get off the couch and dig out that toolbelt. Let’s do this! Let’s get prepared for the season!
Let’s be realistic. Is it really spring without flowers? I think not. Preparing your home for that splash of spring color is fun! Here are a few projects you might want to think about:
I’ve always thought this would be a great project and I still have not done it! Adding some beautiful wooden or composite planter boxes beneath the windows provides a place for a few potted flowers that look great from inside and out! It’s an easy DIY project for any skill level.
No single element of your home can add a fresh splash of color as effectively as the front door! Go with a bright color like red, which is world renowned as a color of welcome and respite. Some believe a red door draws chi energy into the home for the benefit of all who dwell within. But hey, if you’re good on your chi, I think a nice pale blue looks good too. The point is a colorful door is a good move. You’ll be happy!
Not all home improvement projects require a saw. Sometimes scissors are more in order. Spring is a great time to brighten up your window treatments, cushion covers and accents. It’s an easy way to make a big difference without spending a bunch of time or money.
April flowers bring May showers … wait … maybe I should have put the rain first. In any case, spring and summer will invariably bring a bit of precipitation and the house needs to be ready.

There are several types of loans available when financing a home. What is most important is finding the one that works for your financial and personal/family situation.

INSIDER TIP: To help make your purchase smoother and quicker, we recommend getting a mortgage pre-approval instead of just a pre-qualification. A pre-qualification is just an estimate of what you can afford and a pre-approval provides more detail and accurate information about how much you can exactly afford. The lender will review your income documents for the pre-approval and ensure that you are accountable and ready for the purchase. Oftentimes, this can make you a stronger candidate to the seller.

This is the most important step to buying your home. It is crucial that you do the proper analysis to decide how much you will be able to afford. Start to budget if you haven’t done so already. Reviewing your personal budget prior to meeting with your lender will allow you to know ahead of time what you can afford and will help you feel informed and educated going into the home buying process.
Track your income and expenses by utilizing spreadsheets, web-based programs or by purchasing a budget tracking software.
INSIDER TIP: A lender typically determines how much money to loan you based on your income versus expenses as well as your credit report.
Planning to go out of town for spring break this year? If so, you’re part of a large number of Floridians that will travel out of town for three days or more for spring break, according to a recent study by AAA.
Before enjoying a relaxing vacation, consider these tips to take care of your home next time you’ll be out of town:
Hire a house sitter or have a friend make sure your home is maintained.
Hire an individual to watch your home while you’re away to make sure your home is kept in good shape. Make sure your house sitter is equipped with a checklist, including checking the mailbox, watering the plants and feeding pets. Don’t forget to inform your neighbors that someone different will be in your home while you’re away.
An alternative to hiring a house sitter is to leave a key with a friend or neighbor, and if you have an alarm company, notify them of who has a key.
If you don’t have anyone watching your home, be sure to request a mail hold through USPS.com. This can be done as far as 30 days before your trip and as late as 3 a.m. the morning before you leave. Also, don’t forget to pay any in-person services, like a landscaping company, in advance.
Set the thermostat and unplug appliances.
To conserve energy while you’re away, set your home’s thermostat to a moderate temperature so your system is not needlessly cooling or heating your home, and unplug small appliances to keep electricity usage low.
Clean out the fridge and take out the trash.
Plan to dispose of food that could go bad while you’re away or freeze food that you may eat after your trip. Remember to take out the trash right before you leave (especially if you threw away perishable food).
Use a light timer to save energy while making it appear as if someone is home.
Consider using a light timer so you don’t burn through your electric bill while you’re gone and to make it appear as if someone is home.
Don’t make your travel plans obvious.
For safety reasons, try not to post information about your trip online. If you do post about your trip, double check your privacy settings on platforms that don’t automatically set posts to private, like Instagram and Twitter. If privacy settings aren’t set, your posts will be public.
Now that you’ve taken care of your home, you can enjoy your trip with peace of mind. While you’re traveling, consider enjoying Tampa Bay’s record-breaking days of sunshine yearlong and be part of Lennar’s quick move-in homes in Tampa Bay.
