Teller County CO Homes - SELLER'S ADVICE: YOUR CHECKLIST FOR AN IMPRESSIVE SHOWING
Once your home goes on the market, real estate agents may call to show your home anytime, day or evening. Keeping your home "showtime" ready can be challenging, especially if you have children and pets.
What you need to stay organized is a handy checklist so you can be ready to show at any time. When you get the call that buyers are on their way, give everyone in the household a basket and assign them each to a room to pick up clutter quickly. Set a timer and tell everyone to grab up any toys on the floor, clear tabletops and countertops of junk, and quickly Swiffer-sweep the floors. Check for hazards like dog chews on the floor.
Turn on all the lights, and get ready to skedaddle. You have to let buyers have privacy so they can assess your home honestly. Take the kids for an outing. Put pets in daycare, sleep cages or take them with you:
Keep your home show-ready with these nine tips:
Eliminate clutter: Not only is clutter unattractive, it's time-consuming to sort through and expensive for you to move. If you have a lot of stuff, collections, and family mementoes, you would be better off renting a small storage unit for a few months.
Keep, donate, throw away: Go through your belongings and put them into one of these three baskets. You'll receive more in tax benefits for your donations that pennies on the dollar at a garage sale. It's faster, more efficient and you'll help more people.
Remove temptations: Take valuable jewelry and collectibles to a safety deposit box, a safe, or store them in a secure location.
Remove breakables: Figurines, china, crystal and other breakables should be packed and put away in the garage or storage.
Be hospitable: You want your home to look like a home. Stage it to show the possibilities, perhaps set the table, or put a throw on the chair by the fireplace with a bookmarked book on the table.
Have a family plan of action: Sometimes showings aren't convenient. You can always refuse a showing, but do you really want to? If you have a showing with little notice, get the family engaged. Everyone has a basket and picks up glasses, plates, newspapers, or anything left lying about.
Remove prescription medicines: Despite qualifying by the buyer's agent, some buyers have other intentions than buying your home. It's also a good idea to lock your personal papers such as checkbooks away. Do not leave mail out on your desk.
Get in the habit: Wash dishes immediately after meals. Clean off countertops. Make beds in the morning. Keep pet toys and beds washed and smelling fresh.
Clean out the garage and attic: Buyers want to see what kind of storage there is.
Colorado Springs - Teller County - Surrounding Areas Is a Sellers Market. Buyers Rush To Purchase Homes To Avoid Interest Rate Hikes. No Better Time To List & Sell Your Home.

Woodland Park CO Spring Home Trends
A deep cleaning of your home isn't the only way to usher in spring. It might also be time to peel back those winter layers and give your home a fresh new look with some on-trend décor and design.
Get in the spring of things with this season's hot new trends.
If you can't get enough gingham, enjoy the black-and-white look, or are heralding the return of fringe, you're in luck. These are just a few of the styles that are in for spring, says HGTV.
1. Gingham
There's no need to go traditional with the classic check print.
"To put a gender-neutral spin on gingham, choose a feminine color such as pink or coral for tailored upholstery and use chrome nail heads," said HGTV. "The combination will create amenswear-inspired look that's also female-friendly."
2. Fringe
The flirty look that's all over the runway is also a designer's favorite element for spring. Elle Décor used a Proenza Schouler runway as inspiration for a "multicolored fringe wall hanging." Fringe is also popping up in carpet borders and pendant lighting
3. Black and white
"The classic color combination makes any room - from bathrooms to bedrooms - sophisticated, chic, and timeless,"said House Beautiful.
Whether you use it on the floors, the walls, for bedding, for a backsplash, or a smattering of accessories, black and white brings interest and glam potential.
4. Oversize art
Forget the gallery. For spring it's all about statement pieces.
"Just as we were starting to perfect the Tetris-like picture placement of gallery walls, oversize art has become the wall statement du jour," said POPSUGAR. "Supersized paintings, blowup photographs, and gargantuan art of every sort are dominating huge swaths of walls to stunning effect."
5. Shibori
POPSUGAR also loves the shibori print, a "tie-dye-esque look (that) is growing rapidly, jumping from pillows and bedspreads to curtains and rugs."
Shibori is a Japanese technique "that typically involves folding, twisting or bunching cloth and binding it, then dyeing it in indigo," said Design Sponge. "Whatever is used to bind the fabric will resist the dye, resulting in areas of the cloth that take the distinctive blue dye in patterns created by the resistance, and other areas of the cloth that remain white." Check out some DIY shibori techniques here.

If you're lucky enough to come away with a refund this year, you may be looking for a way to spend some, or all, of it. From the functional to the frivolous, we've got a few suggestions.
1. A NEST
If you haven't dipped a toe into home automation, this is a good place to start.
2. A new front door

3. A fluffy rug
The kind that males you want to sit on the floor.
4. Brass fixtures
They're back in style, you know..
5. A pirate ship for your kid's room
6. More space

Lumpy, bumpy, and saggy sound like the names of Dwarfs N0. 8, 9, and 10. They shouldn't be the way you describeyour bed.

SPRING-IFY YOUR WOODLAND PARK, TELLER COUNTY HOME - THEN SELL-SELL-SELL!
It's time to spring forward, and you know what that means: spring cleaning. Boo. Actually, there's a whole bunch of things we want to do to our home, and with an extra hour of daylight, we may just have the energy to tackle a few. Here's what we'll be springing into starting this weekend.
1. Sell! Sell! Sell!
Two words: garage sale. Does it stink to have to get up at 6am to greet the early birds? Yes. Will you be oh-so-happy when your old, useless, space-stealing stuff is gone and you've got Starbucks money for a month in your pocket? Oh yes.
2. Make someone's day
Set aside some of the more useful items that didn't sell: jackets, shoes, blankets, and towels to help a homeless person get through the rest of the cold season.
3. Donate the rest
Take anything that didn't sell at your garage sale to a local charity. Not only will you be helping those in need, but your donation is also tax deductible.
4. Clean it out
Large items that can't be sold or donated tend to sit in the garage or an extra room for years, eliciting grimaces every time you walk by. Check with your city services to see if they offer large item pickup. Many cities do this annually, while others offer this free service once a month.
5. Scruba-dub
Now's the time to tackle those projects you only get to every once in awhile. Cleaning out your gutters. And your dryer vent. And under your bed. While you're at it, pull furniture away from the walls and vacuum behind there as well. If you have windows you never open or that are blocked by furniture, now is also a good time to clean those. You'll feel good about your accomplishment, and your post-dust-bunny breathing will thank you.
6. Get organized
If your junk drawer now numbers three and your closets are bulging with stuff you never got around to folding or sorting through, there's no time like the spring to get it outta there and make it pretty.
7. Give an old favorite new life
Everyone has an old sideboard that was willed to them or a set of chairs they picked up at a garage sale when they couldn't afford to buy new. Just because you're in a better financial situation now doesn't mean it's time to chuck them. It's amazing what a little sandpaper, paint, fabric, and a staple gun can accomplish. You might just create a standout piece that you can pass on to the next generation.
8. Curb your enthusiasm
Has the hard winter affected your curb appeal? Once the ice breaks, it's time to get out and pretty up your yard. It's amazing how raked leaves, a new doormat, and a touch of color in your flowerpots can easily transform the front of your house.
9. Update your look
Still sporting the beige everywhere? It's time to get with the gray. Find your perfect shade here.
10. Let the sun shine in
Yes, it's still cold outside. But for many of us it's been a particularly nasty season. If you're the type that decorates by season, give the weather the cold shoulder be switching out your winter décor early.
