Listed below are 5 ways to pamper your dog. Friday, August 26th is National Dog Day. There are lots of things you can do to pamper your dog, that I’m sure won’t go unnoticed by your pooch. Our dogs are only around for a short period of time in comparison to our lives, so let’s make their days memorable. Statistically speaking, dogs are driving millennials to their first-time home purchase as well. Rentals can be scarce and most won’t even allow your dog.

Share these 5 ideas with your pup and I'm sure they'll be raving fans!

Treats

You can make frozen pup cups for your dog because if you want to save money. However, you can also easily buy pup cups in the freezer section at the supermarket. They are super easy to make and they are much healthier for your dog without the additives though. Puree strawberries, bananas, pure pumpkin (not pumpkin pie mix), peanut butter (make sure it doesn’t have xylitol in it) or any other dog friendly ingredient. Mix one of those purees or a mixture of them with Greek yogurt. Then freeze them into cupcake sized portions. If you go to Starbucks, you can even get them a free puppuccino, if you request it.

Toys

Most dogs love play toys. They can be as simple as an empty water bottle, a tennis ball or a store bought toy. Seriously, give them a dog toy and soon you’ll see a happy face and their tails start to wag. There are even treat dispenser toys that you can leave at home with them while you’re at work or away for the day to keep them occupied.

Walk

Take your pup for a walk, a hike or bring them to the park. If your dog is hyper the park will be the favorite place to go. Bring a ball launcher and 2 balls and let your pup run and fetch balls. Or just walk around and let them enjoy the day. As an added bonus, you’ll get some exercise while you’re at it and your dog will love you for it!

Grooming

Give Fido a bath, brush their teeth and comb their fur. Your dog will love it. If the tub isn’t a fun experience for you at home, local pet stores have walk in bathing stations where you can do it yourself or you can setup an appointment and have them do it for you. A bath is an added bonus for you too because it makes them smell so much nicer. Teeth brushing makes for friendly greetings when they are panting in your face, and combing their fur is just plain old relaxing for both of you. Grooming is an added bonus because it makes them smell so much nicer.

Your Time

You don’t even have to spend a million dollars for your pet to be happy. Your pup is just looking for you to spend time with them. It’s all they look forward to all day while you are gone. You are their best friend and they love you.

Many dog owners admit they like to pamper their pets. On average Americans spend almost $1400 a year on their dogs. Pet spending has doubled in the past 10 years. More than 50% of millennials buy their dog a gift monthly, and they prefer to do it online. Why do we pamper them? Our dogs are a huge part of our family. They are always the first to greet us when we arrive home and we love them. Who wouldn’t want to reciprocate that feeling?

Below are 5 signs your hot water heater may be failing you. You shouldn’t wait until your hot water heater fails completely to replace it. Cold showers, flooding or no water at all can be frustrating to deal with. Keep an eye on your hot water heater for signs that it might be failing, so you can address it before it fails.

Age

A hot water heater can last from 6-20 years before it needs replacement. Typically hot water heaters on city water will last longer because there are less minerals in the water. Just keep an eye on older water heaters to make sure they aren’t leaking.

Leaks

When your hot water heater is leaking, you should have a plumber look at your hot water heater to see what’s wrong with it. Sometimes it’s just a valve that can be adjusted or replaced. Other times the water heater may be close to letting go and it’s best to replace it.

Water Color

The pipes inside the water heater can rust and corrode over time. Maintaining your hot water heater and having it flushed from time to time can help to prolong it and keep it from corroding inside. However, when the water is discolored it usually means it’s time to replace.

Temperature

If you aren’t getting hot water anymore, there’s more than likely an issue with your hot water heater. When the water was once hot but is only able to produce warm water and won’t continue to heat, it’s most likely time for replacement.

Noises

When you start to hear noises coming from inside the hot water tank it’s time to have it looked it. If the components inside are starting to fail you will most likely need replacement soon.

If you have and one of the 5 signs your hot water heater may be failing, you may need to replace your hot water heater. Or maybe you should consider having someone look at it before it fails or floods your house. If you need to replace your hot water heater, we know some excellent plumbers and technicians who can diagnose your problem. Give us a call, send us a text or an email and we can send you a copy of our vendor list.

So you’re thinking of selling your Hudson home. Have you thought about what updates would make your home more marketable or researched tips to sell your home? An easy and inexpensive way to ensure your home sells is through staging. Perhaps you’re wondering what that entails? Staging your house is all about the aesthetics. Think of staging as a great way to put your homes best foot forward to show people what made you first want to buy. Just by following a few of these tips can help your Hudson house for sale spend up to 83% less time on the market than non-staged homes according to The International Association of Home Staging Professionals.

1. Take a peek at the competition. Search your areas listings. Is there a Hudson house for sale that stands out? Some that turned you away? Take notes on what drew you in and what made you say next. With poor staging, even a great home can seem small dark and uninviting. Doing this can give you ideas of what your home and listing needs to stand out.

2. Deep clean your home!  Such a simple step, but a crucial one. No one wants to picture themselves in a dirty home. Start by decluttering; either by throwing items away you don’t need or storing items with friends, family or in a storage unit. Now we know keeping a home spotless for months can become daunting, especially if you have kids. Make sure your agent gives plenty of time before showings to tidy up and another option is to hire a weekly housekeeper to help with the upkeep. A small price for big results!

3. Paint and touch ups are another great way to update your home to sell.  Now that your home is clean, you may look around and start to notice a scuffed wall or chipping corners. Maybe you’ve loved having a dark colored living room, but your buyers are looking for something light and natural. A simple paint update could be what’s standing between you and your house selling. We suggest light and airy earth-toned colors like grey or beige. It helps enlarge your spaces and keeps things looking fresh.

4. Interior design plays a big role as well.  The idea of staging is to make your home look unlived in. We encourage owners to take down all personal effects and rearrange your furniture to best fit your space not your lifestyle. For example, instead of your furniture facing the TV have the couches face each other in the living room. While we are keeping the décor to a minimum, interior designer’s recommend odd numbers like having three throw pillows on your couch. Have a small space? Add a mirror and double it. These tips will make your rooms feel bigger and draw in the buyers. The key here is to get the most out of your spaces and to give them purpose.

5. Don’t forget lighting! We are setting the stage after all and what’s a stage without lighting? Replace the burnt out bulbs, open the blinds, and get as much light in your home as you can. The key to people falling in love with your house is being able to see it!

6. Having a pet and selling a home can be tricky; a good practice is to keep their items stored out of the way and to make sure they aren’t there when the house is being shown if possible. You don’t want your loveable friend distracting from your beautiful home. If the key to staging is to make it look like no one lives there, the dog bowl, litter box, and all the toys your family pet enjoys need to be put out of sight.

7. Make your home smell inviting.  So you’ve done the heavy lifting part of staging and are running out the door before a showing, give the house a once over make sure everything’s in its place and give the house a spray down with some air freshener. You want your home to feel clean and smell can play a huge roll here.

8. Now that the inside of your house is staged to perfection don’t neglect the exterior. Whether that is mowing your lawn, weeding, planting some annuals for a pop of color, or pressure washing the siding, it's all part of staging your house to sell. This is the first look at your home a buyer will have and curb appeal is everything!

Good luck incorporating these tips for staging your house to sell. Selling your Hudson NH house for sale is not always easy, but with our help we can make it less stressful. Visit our website www.Harmony-RE.com for more tips to prepare your Hudson NH house for sale.

Purchasing a house requires an investment from you as a buyer. You will need at least a 3-5% down payment unless you are a Veteran going VA or are buying in a rural location with USRD. However that’s not all you’ll need. There are also hidden costs to home ownership.

Unless the seller helps with closing costs that will be additional, as well the appraisal and home inspection. Once you have purchased the house you’ll also want to make sure that you’ve set aside some additional funds for home maintenance. While these may all be costs you were aware of, what are the hidden costs of owning a house? Below are 3 hidden costs of home ownership.

Mortgage Interest

Mortgage interest is the interest you pay to the bank in order to get the loan for your house purchase. It is calculated as a percentage of the total loan amount for the mortgage that was given to you through the lender. At the beginning of the loan a larger portion, almost 50% of your payment goes directly toward the interest.

You can never get rid of mortgage interest from your loan but it’s possible to reduce the length of time paying it. To get rid of your mortgage at a faster rate, make one extra payment a year. Then you can chop off years from your loan. Home ownership is a goal that can be achieved.

HOA Dues

If you own a home in an HOA you will have an additional monthly or yearly fee. HOA fees are disclosed when you purchase your house or condo but the fees can increase over time. Make sure to look at the budgets and reserves of the Association before you decide to purchase a house or condo.

Special assessments can also be added on to your fees if there isn’t enough money to cover needed repairs. This is usually an additional fee that is charged to the owner over a period of time, from only a few months to several years.  If an Association doesn’t have enough in reserves for maintenance such as roof, septic or siding it could be costly to you as the owner. HOA fees typically cost home owners $250 to $450 every month.

Security Features

After you purchase a new house it’s best to make sure that no one else has access to it. The doors should be rekeyed or new locks should be installed. If you have a security system, garage door openers or keyless entry it’s in your best interest to reprogram all of the entry points as soon as you purchase the home. There’s just no way to know how many people have had or still have a key to your house. So it’s in your best interest to get it done for your own safety.

There are easy how to videos that can even show you how to do it yourself. I've included some how to videos below for use on how to reprogram your garage door opener or rekey your doors.

The extra hidden costs of home ownership can be a hassle but it’s definitely worth it. Home ownership is the American dream after all! Just make sure to plan in advance for a few bumps in the road, even if you don’t plan on it.

It’s easy to get preoccupied with making the house look perfect for showings but safety is a bigger concern. With strangers walking around your house during showings, precautions for your Hudson house for sale will make sellers feel safe. Below are 5 tips to protect your house during a showing.

The buyers are supervised by a real estate agent but there is still a lot of foot traffic through your home. A security system is helpful as a tool for owners but it is a felony to record anyone without their permission. Most buyers have good intentions and showings are usually problem free but it’s best to prepare just in case.

Hide your valuables

Sellers should hide their valuables when selling their Hudson house for sale. Removing jewelry, electronics like phones, tablets or laptops and other valuable items is always a good idea when you have strangers coming to your home. You can put them in a safe or hide them so that they are not in plain sight. Even medications and identifying paperwork should be kept locked away as prescription drug theft or identity theft can also become a problem. Weapons such as guns and large kitchen knives should also be locked up or removed to prevent theft and further protect you.

Replace Artwork

If you have expensive artwork in your home it’s best to replace it with prints or reproductions prior to listing your home on the market. If your house will be empty it’s even more important to take them down prior to your move. When in doubt take it down and pack it away.

Remove Personal Photos

A homey feel is great as it can help buyers imagine their family in your home. However, with lots of new people in your home it is best to protect your family. Putting away personal photos protects the sellers and their family. You want the buyers to be able to look around and envision themselves and their family instead of yours.

Have buyers sign in

During open houses buyers should sign in and leave their name and phone number. Then if there is suspicion of theft, there is a record of who attended during the open house. When other agents show the house they will also leave their information. Signing in helps keep track of everyone who looks at the house.

Secure the house

Make sure the sellers have their house securely locked before showings. When possible the listing agent should use a supra to gain access to the house so that when agents enter the house there is a way to track it.

It’s important to think about safety with so many prospective buyers entering and exiting the sellers’ house. It is important to protect homeowners and their identities. It’s impossible to keep an eye on everyone at all times. Although most buyers are honest, consider the possibility that some aren’t. It’s always better to be safe than sorry.

What are you thankful about this year? When things are hard or stressful it can be hard to be thankful. I suggest to you that we should not just be thankful at Thanksgiving but to be thankful every day.

I’m thankful for my family, present and past, especially my kids even when they are a pain, as well as friends who have become family to me. Ultimately tomorrow is not promised and we should live for all those we love, today. I’m grateful for a lovely office with which I can share my time with co-workers who have become like family. I’m thankful for a roof above my head and lights and electricity with which I can use it. I’m especially thankful for my health and happiness as it’s not a given.

With all that’s going on this year, in 2020, we need to think of ways we can be thankful. The Pandemic and the Election have made many people bitter and we need to find a way to get along and even be thankful for each other. Can’t we all agree to disagree sometimes and still be friends? 

All the shopping that goes into getting ready for Christmas can be another thing that makes us happy or unhappy. It may be hard for some right now and if you’re struggling how can the over glorified present giving be enjoyed? I will be finding ways to help others in times of need, and helping Small Businesses survive. I will be helping a family in need with Christmas, buying crafts from local artisans, and getting gift certificates as gifts from the small restaurant around the block. If you are social distancing that’s fine too. If you prefer to buy online from a local chain, I will still love you just the same. It’s all personal choice and that’s why we enjoy living in the United States. I am just trying to do my part to help those that may be struggling.

Let’s take a moment to think about what we can be thankful for. Do you like a cup of joe first thing in them morning? I know I do. Do you enjoy reading the paper, watching the news or social media before you leave for work in the morning? Are you retired and get to spend time with your grandkids? Or are your kids a source of joy in your life? What about a gentleman who holds the door for you? Or a nice pair of cozy sweats at the end of a long day?

Stop and take a minute to think about what you are truly thankful for. Make it a daily routine. Try to think of things you are thankful for every day before you go out. Say something positive about yourself. It will improve your mindset and in the process your mood. Seeing things in a different light is a true blessing!

Holidays can be a hard time if you are grieving the loss of a loved one, as well. Thanksgiving can be hard if you are recovering from grief because it may be the first Holiday without a loved one. We all know that can be hard to be thankful for but your loved ones would want you to be happy too. Please know we are here if you just need an ear or a friend to listen.

We are thankful for each of you. Without our customers and clients we would not be able to make a living and you bring our success. Many blessings to you on this Thanksgiving.
