Seven inexpensive waysto update a home now

Oftentimes, buying a home opens up a bottomless pit of opportunities for projects and improvements. While some homeowners engage in different repairs and fix-ups out of necessity, many others like to freshen-up their spaces out of personal preference in-stead of need. But even the most well-intentioned projects can be waylaid if budgets are tight.What many homeowners may not re-

alize is that there are many ways to make updates and changes to a home that do not require a major overhaul or a large price tag. The following are seven projects that won’t break the bank.1. Move around furniture. You may be able to change the look of a room

without spending any money. Interior designers know how to arrange furniture for maximum appeal, but the average homeowner can do it, too. Find a focal point in the room and angle the furniture toward it. Don’t make the focal point the television, however. Try changing the placement of chairs and sofas. Simply moving a curio cabinet from one corner to another may also make a difference.2. Add lighting. Lighting at different levels in the room can create a vibrant

impact. Many homeowners mistakenly put in a couple of table lamps and think that will be adequate. However, properly illuminating a room means varying the lighting to create different moods at different times. Plus, more light can make a room feel more welcoming.3. Add new pillows or drapes. Changing a few aspects of a room can give it

an entirely new look. If you want to add a splash of color but don’t know what to do, think about incorporating some new throw pillows or change the curtains. An accessory here and there in a bright color also can incorporate a new hue without it being overwhelming.4. Change knobs or small accents. Give a room a new look by focusing on

the small details. Switch out cabinet knobs for something updated and modern. Take inventory of wall outlets and light switches and think about selecting new ones that coordinate with your home decor.5. Use plants. Empty corners or spots you’re not certain how to fill may benefit

from a plant. Plants are inexpensive ways to add instant color and visual appeal to a room. Plus, having live plants can help improve indoor air by filtering out contaminants. A home with plants also feels more cozy.6. Hang new wall art. It may be time to look at your photos and artwork and

make a few adjustments. Finding new prints to hang could instantly change a room’s ambience. And you needn’t spend a lot of money on professional pho-tography, either. Grab your camera and take a few close-up shots of flowers or take in a landscape scenery. Many of today’s home printers can produce professional-quality prints in minutes.7. Try a new coat of paint. After you’ve exhausted other avenues, choosing a

new paint color may be the new look you desire. Painting is one of the least ex-pensive yet most dramatic methods of changing a home’s interior. With dozens of hues to choose from, and new apps that enable you to take snapshots of things in nature or in your life and match them up to a paint color, you will have scores of opportunities to explore fresh new colors for your home.When you get inspired to make improvements to the home but fear how much

it may take out of your wallet, consider inexpensive tricks that can induce a big “wow” factor.

Financing a home improvement projectAfter years of funny financing and few limi-

tations on loans, banks and other lenders have tightened up their lending policies. As a result, homeowners considering a home improvement project might need to look elsewhere to secure financing.

There are no certainties in the real es-tate markets. Though statistics suggest marked improvement in home sales over just a few months ago, many homeowners remain weary about selling their home to try to move up to something bigger and better. The National Association of Home Builders says many people are choosing to stay put in their homes and remodel or make reno-vations to transform the house into some-thing more comfortable.

While there are many worthwhile home renovation projects, the NAHB recommends projects that bring your home up to par with the neighbors’. It doesn’t pay to transform your home into the most expensive on the street -- unless you plan to live there for the rest of your life. Real estate experts recom-mend that a remodeling investment increas-es the value of your house by no more than 10 to 15 percent above the median sales price in your neighborhood.

When it comes time to finance a remodel or renovation, you may not know where to start. Credit restrictions on home mortgag-es that have troubled many would-be buy-ers have also plagued individuals looking to finance home improvements. However, homeowners hoping to finance a project do have options, and not all of them require stellar credit ratings.

• Borrow against a retirement plan. Many retirement plans, such as a 401(k), allow plan members to take out a portion of the savings to put toward a home loan. This does not mean you are taking money out of the account permanently. Rather, you are borrowing against yourself, with repayment necessary in a certain timeframe. Because these loans often offer very low interest rates, and essentially the interest is being paid back to you, they might be a good op-tion for men and women who cannot secure a traditional loan. However, if you have been laid off, there may be a shorter repayment period. Also, the interest on these loans is not tax-deductible.

• Borrow against other investments. CDs, bonds or mutual funds can provide the col-lateral you need and earn you a lower in-terest rate. Fixed-income investments are more stable options to borrow against, as their value won’t have a chance to decline.

• Apply for a home equity loan. Many peo-ple have heard of a home equity loan, and it is usually the first choice when borrowing

funds for renovations. Essentially a home equity loan is taking out a second mortgage on your home to pay for the work you want to have done, which is based on the equity, or the difference between the home’s fair market value and the outstanding balance of all liens on the property. The interest on these loans is tax-deductible, which can make this financing option quite popular.

• Secure a home equity line of credit. A home equity line of credit, or HELOC, is an-other type of home equity loan. Instead of receiving a lump sum to use toward renova-tions like you would with a traditional home equity loan, a HELOC is sort of a credit card type scenario based on the equity in your home. You are given a line of credit, against which you can buy items. This is good for in-termittent needs, when one large sum is not needed. HELOCs have a draw period, during which the borrower can use the credit, and a repayment period, during which it must be repaid. HELOCs generally have lower mortgage fees at the start and are gener-ally subject to the same tax incentives as regular home equity loans.

• Consider refinancing. Interest rates on mortgages are at historic lows. You may qualify to do a cash-out refinance, where you borrow against the value of your home and create an entirely new mortgage at the lower rate. Although you will start your mort-gage all over from day 1 and have to pay closing fees, this type of refinancing can be more advantageous to homeowners with significant equity in their homes.

• Apply for a government-sponsored loan. The government may offer programs aimed at helping individuals who are underwater on their home loans borrow money to make necessary improvements. While the funding cannot be used to purchase luxury items, such as a swimming pool, it can be used for necessities. Residents of the United States can explore FHA 203(k) refinance options and an FHA title 1 improvement loan.

• Discuss financing with your contractor. Some contractors may offer financing. Keep in mind that the interest rates may be high, and it may be difficult to investigate the se-curity of these types of loans.

Many homeowners also look to credit cards to help finance some home renova-tion projects, but they should be used as a last resort. Credit cards typically come with high interest rates, and while they are good for some small projects, financing larger projects on a card may land you very deep in debt.

Homeowners who choose to stay in their homes and make renovations have a host of options at their disposal to finance those projects.

Does it pay to remodel?According to Remodeling magazine’s

2011-2012 “Cost Vs. Value Report,” replacement projects perform better in resale value than other types of re-modeling projects. Siding-, window- and door-replacement projects all recoup between 69 and 78 percent of their ini-tial costs. Replacement projects per-haps recoup so much value because, with the exception of roofing projects, each of the projects examined in the report are priced at less than $19,000. Replacement projects also tend to rely heavily on durable, low-maintenance products, reducing the overall cost of the project while helping owners even-tually regain more of their investment. In addition, replacement projects are known to instantly increase curb ap-peal, helping homeowners make a strong first impression with prospec-tive buyers.
