We want to make some improvements on our home so it will sell quickly. What do you suggest?

Basic improvements are important and don't cost much if you do them yourself.

* Freshening the rooms with a nice coat of paint comes first. If you have rooms or walls that are odd colors, paint these entire rooms in beige and install new electrical outlet covers. Check the woodwork to see if it needs to be touched up.

* When faucets in the kitchen and master bath are showing their age, replace them with new faucets that have a modern style.

The same is true for light fixtures. Sparkling new fixtures on a newly painted ceiling actually gives you a "new room."

* The kitchen is important. If you have a few thousand dollars to spend on a project, decorators say new countertops are a good choice. Some choices are quartz as in Caesarstone or Cambria, DuPont's Zodiaq or solid surface Corian, or Eco's Cosentino or IceStone.

* On the outside, paint the window frames and the front door. The door is especially important and can be made a contrasting color, like red.

Make sure the trim around the roof isn't chipped and that your gutters and downspouts are properly attached.

* If the roof has a dark streak or two, a roof-cleaning company can make it look new again. Black streaks are caused by bacteria known as gloeocapsa magma (algae growth). A professional roof cleaning will take them away.

¿Por qué debo comprar en lugar de alquilar?

Una vivienda es una inversión. Cuando usted alquila, extiende un cheque todos los meses y ese dinero se va para siempre. Pero cuando es propietario de su vivienda, puede deducir el costo de los intereses de su préstamo hipotecario de los impuestos federales sobre la renta. Esto le ahorrará mucho dinero todos los años, porque el interés que usted paga representará la mayor parte de los pagos mensuales durante los años de su hipoteca. Usted también puede deducir los impuestos a la propiedad que paga como un propietario de vivienda. Además, el valor de su vivienda puede aumentar con el paso de los años. Finalmente, le encantará sentir que tiene algo suyo, una casa donde su estilo personal le dirá a todo el mundo quién es usted.
