Kansas City Real Estate - Looking to Make Some Changes to Your Kansas City Homes?

Every year I try to do a little something to continue to update our home to some of the current trends.  It doesn’t always take spending a lot of money.  But, I’ve always told all of my clients, if you keep doing little updates each year, then you get to enjoy the benefits plus if you ever move, you won’t have to do it all at once.  That can be expensive!!  Change a little color, change countertops, & rearranging furniture can make a difference in a home.  If you’re considering how you can add a little spice to your Kansas City home, here are some interesting home trends this year that might give you some inspiration:

• Go Green - there are a huge variety of ways to implement eco-friendly living into our homes and condos. Flooring is a great example - look into bamboo flooring. It looks great, wears beautifully and is very easy to take care of. If you need new appliances, look for the “Energy Star” appliances. You can also get “Energy Star” windows and lighting products. Just as an aside, did you know that if you buy “Energy Star” products you may be eligible for tax credits?

• Room Design - watch the magazines and take the opportunities to go through newer homes especially during the parade of homes each year
• Color Splashes - today’s popular colors in homes and condos are more earth-tones. Those colors cause one to feel calmer and more restful. When I’ve been showing homes and condos lately, it seem to get most positive responses from Kansas City buyers are those colors that are soothing.

• “Smart” Homes - technology today makes all of our lives more productive, and that would also hold true in our homes as well. There are systems now that allow us to remotely operate lighting systems, alarm systems, monitor heating systems, and more. There is a lighting system available for our Kansas City homes that allows you to turn on certain lights when you pull into the driveway, turn them off, or set them to different types of settings in groups for entertaining, etc. Think of all the possiblities!
