Friday’s question of the day! There are some trends we think should stay forever while others that never should have started. What is your favorite and what can you not stand when it comes to home design today?

A mortgage is a type of loan used to purchase or maintain a home, land, or other types of real estate. The borrower agrees to pay the lender over time, typically in a series of regular payments that are divided into principal and interest. The property then serves as collateral to secure the loan. A borrower must apply for a mortgage through their preferred lender and ensure that they meet several requirements, including minimum credit scores and down payments. Mortgage applications go through an underwriting process before they reach the closing phase. Mortgage types vary based on the needs of the borrower, such as conventional and fixed-rate loans.

Staging is about showcasing a move-in ready home that creates an emotional connection with the buyer. 82% of buyers agents said staging helped their clients to visualize the property as their home. Sellers should try to define each room with a purpose, maximize each space, ensure the home is well lit and neutral, and maintain any outdoor spaces.
