Shop Local Saturday Event

It's National Shop Local Saturday on November 25th and the Chamber of Commerce has partnered with over 30 local businesses to bring you a great shopping experience this year.

There are a few ways to take advantage of this event.
1. Play Shop Local Saturday BINGO and win a $500 shopping spree. Every resident in the county will be mailed a BINGO card. When you receive your card, you have until Saturday the 25th to visit your favorite businesses, get your card validated, and get 5 in a row. For every 5 in row you get, you will be entered into the $500 shopping spree that will be drawn at the Tree Lighting Celebration in Midway on November 25th. 

2. Use the great coupons found in the Wasatch Wave or you can print them from the Chamber of Commerce website here. 

Over 30 local businesses are offering some really great deals for your shopping enjoyment.

3.SPARKS FURNITURE on Heber City's Main Street is offering a 10% off coupon. If you mention HeathsHomes blog you get an additional 10% off. A total of 20% off your purchase at SPARKS FURNITURE, 84 South Main!

Shopping local is a great feeling and brings our community together. I hope you get out this week and visit a few new businesses you haven't shopped at yet with your BINGO cards. Don't forget the great coupons available for our local businesses and please stop into SPARKS and see their fantastic items for your home.

If there is a remodel in your future, this is a must read.

Let's talk about remodeling. 

There are a handful of reasons people remodel their homes. Maybe a family requires a change in the shape and stage of their home, or they may want to get more enjoyment out of their home so changes are needed to do so. If home owners are not planning on staying in their home for the long haul, they may be trying to get more equity in the home, or they may be trying to impress potential buyers or bring in higher offers.

Whatever the reason, there are smart ways to look at a remodel. In a recent Remodeling Impact Report by the National Association for Realtors, it tells home owners who are looking to sell their home that there are a handful of remodeling projects that appeal most to potential buyers. 

The most desirable indoor projects are:

1. complete kitchen renovation

2. kitchen upgrades

3. bathroom renovations

4. new flooring

However, the interior projects that yield the largest financial return upon the home's resale are:

1. hardwood floor refinishing (one can usually recover 100% of project costs)

2. new wood flooring (about 91% of costs can be recovered)

3. insulation upgrades (76% of costs will be recovered)

4. Bathroom renovations yield the smallest financial recoup, at resale time. About 50% of project costs can be recovered.

According to the report, when the remodel or renovation goes outdoors, the exterior projects that are the most appealing for potential home buyers are: 
1. new roofing

2. new windows

3. a new garage door

4. new vinyl siding

The study also shows that new roofing recovers about 109% of the cost of the new roof when the home is resold. 

Exterior remodeling projects help with curb appeal and the first impression to potential buyers. They can also be extremely satisfying for the home owner as well. 

If you have a remodel on your mind, keep these study results in mind. They may help you direct your efforts where they are best appreciated.
