When it comes to minimalist design style, we love everything from the soothing color palettes to the open spaces. However, there is a fine line between a cold, bare room and one that feels warm and inviting when it comes to minimalist décor.

Decluttering your home to sell 

If you sold a home before, you know one of the first things a real estate agent tells you is to “declutter” your house. In fact, one of the most important things you can do before the real estate agent takes photos is to declutter – and leave it that way. Potential buyers want to imagine their stuff in the house, and it’s harder to do with your stuff.

Additionally, certain personal information or sentimental items should not be on display for strangers to see, including photos of relatives. Finally, decluttering your home makes it look larger, which means that it is more appealing to potential buyers.

Keep in mind that buyers want to see everything – they want to look in cabinets and closets. They want to look at the bathroom and bedrooms. When you minimize all of the clutter, you maximize the storage space and remove distractions.

When you have found the best month to sell a house and are sell your home, a real estate agent at Berkshire Hathaway Home Services California Properties can give you tips on preparing your home for sale, including decluttering your home.

What is a Barndominium?

The housing market value has increased, but you can still build a large home for less than it would cost to build a conventional home. Whether you are looking for a primary residence or buying a vacation home, a barndominium is a great choice. It  has plenty of living space with a large garage and/or workshop attached to it. Often, the workshop is nearly as large as the living quarters.

The workshop or garage can also be a traditional barn, a combination of a workshop and garage, a gym, or whatever you want to make of it.

An agent familiar with barndominiums can help you find a barndominium already completed or find the perfect piece of property to build a barndominium that you design yourself. Find an agent with skills to fit your needs from Berkshire Hathaway Home Services California Properties.

Does a pool add value to your home?

There’s nothing quite like a swimming pool to help you beat the heat of a summer day. Perfect for family get-togethers, pools are also ideal places to get in your daily exercise (even when that exercise is just lounging on an inflatable raft), and can be the buyer’s preferred amenity when it comes to what to look for when buying a house. But beyond summer fun, does a pool add value to your home?

If you live in California, the answer to that question is probably yes. However, when asking how much home value does a pool add to a house, things can get more complicated. Let’s dive into the deep end of pools to get an idea of how much property value they can provide.
