A Too Small House Does Have Some Benefits

 

You might have been raised to believe that bigger is better, but there are incredible benefits of making a smaller purchase. Maybe you've lived in a giant house for years and never noticed how much it costs each month, or the advantages of living with less space. 



In this book Aaron Nelson will show you the many ways small can be beautiful--and that standing in an overpriced American McMansion isn't worth it when your children still don't want to clean their rooms. And in order to help others "go small," he'll show them where they can do so without breaking the bank! This helpful guide will lead readers from renting tiny houses from quirky landlords who love creativity, to buying affordable houses on land parcels close-in proximity to city centers.

Small houses are incredibly affordable. What might you miss out on by always looking for the least expensive option? Brain scans show that people are less happy in bigger houses, with higher prices tags. You save more money each month than most people will ever earn at their job or find that they need during retirement. 

You may find yourself accumulating new friends and enjoying an overall sense of simplicity—a mental state of ease and simplicity grasped through decluttering, minimalizing one’s possessions, and living in a smaller home.

Sure, there were some downsides—like not being able to host BBQs for all of our friends or take after-work trips without feeling guilty about leaving whoever ended up watching the kids—but who even have those kinds of friends anymore? 

And with a place this small, everything looks newer—even though we're just old enough that it wouldn't matter if anything got dirty! Natural wood furniture is so easy to maintain because it won't be stained by dirt or liquids of any kind unless there's complete submersion involved! Great-looking products can be made with real solid wood--no exceptions! 

Now that you know how much money we actually saved by living in a smaller space, do you think maybe moving again is worth it?

According to Wikipedia, Westerly becomes a large tourist attraction during the summer months during which the population nearly doubles. From east to west, well-known beaches include Weekapaug Beach, Westerly Town Beach, Misquamicut State Beach, East Beach and Watch Hill Beach. Weekapaug is a Native American word meaning "end of pond". Niantics, Pequots, and Narrangansetts lived in this area before early settlers arrived. Misquamicut Beach is a three-mile length of beach that extends westward from Weekapaug to Watch Hill and separates Winnapaug Pond from the Atlantic Ocean.

Watch Hill is an affluent coastal village in the town of Westerly, Rhode Island. It sits at the most-southwestern point in all of Rhode Island, excluding Block Island. Watch Hill came to prominence in the late 19th and early 20th century as an exclusive summer resort, with wealthy families building sprawling Victorian-style "cottages" along the peninsula. Watch Hill is characterized by the New York Times as a community "with a strong sense of privacy and of discreetly used wealth", in contrast with "the overpowering castles of the very rich" in nearby Newport. Today, Watch Hill is best known as the backdrop for the Ocean House, the only Forbes Five-Star and AAA Five Diamond Hotel in Rhode Island.

5 Reasons To Sell This Winter!




Here are five reasons listing your home for sale this winter makes sense.



1. Demand Is Strong


The latest Buyer Traffic Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows that buyer demand remains strong throughout the vast majority of the country. These buyers are ready, willing and able to purchase… and are in the market right now! More often than not, multiple buyers are competing with each other to buy a home.


Take advantage of the buyer activity currently in the market.



2. There Is Less Competition Now


Housing inventory is still under the 6-month supply that is needed for a normal housing market. This means that, in the majority of the country, there are not enough homes for sale to satisfy the number of buyers in the market. This is good news for homeowners who have gained equity as their home values have increased. However, additional inventory could be coming to the market soon.


Historically, the average number of years a homeowner stayed in their home was six but has hovered between nine and ten years since 2011. There is a pent-up desire for many homeowners to move, as they were unable to sell over the last few years because of a negative equity situation. As home values continue to appreciate, more and more homeowners will be given the freedom to move.


The choices buyers have will continue to increase. Don’t wait until this other inventory comes to market before you decide to sell.



3. The Process Will Be Quicker


Today’s competitive environment has forced buyers to do all they can to stand out from the crowd, including getting pre-approved for their mortgage financing. This makes the entire selling process much faster and much simpler as buyers know exactly what they can afford before home shopping. According to Ellie Mae’s latest Origination Insights Report, the time to close a loan has dropped to 46 days.



4. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move Up


If your next move will be into a premium or luxury home, now is the time to move up! The inventory of homes for sale at these higher price ranges has forced these markets into a buyer’s market. This means that if you are planning on selling a starter or trade-up home, your home will sell quickly, AND you’ll be able to find a premium home to call your own!


Prices are projected to appreciate by 4.8% over the next year according to CoreLogic. If you are moving to a higher-priced home, it will wind up costing you more in raw dollars (both in down payment and mortgage payment) if you wait.



5. It’s Time to Move on With Your Life


Look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place and determine whether it is worth waiting. Is money more important than being with family? Is money more important than your health? Is money more important than having the freedom to go on with your life the way you think you should?


Only you know the answers to the questions above. You have the power to take control of the situation by putting your home on the market. Perhaps the time has come for you and your family to move on and start living the life you desire.
That is what is truly important.
