Tips on Choosing the Right Flooring for your Home!

New flooring is one way to make a dramatic difference in the appearance of your home and typically, this investment will increase the value of your home or at least, make it more appealing to the eye.   If you are selling your Lake of the Ozarks Home, this upgrade will almost always play in your favor by making your home more desirable to the potential buyer.

 Once you've decided to invest in new flooring, you'll need to determine which flooring is right for your home.  Your budget and personal preferences play an important role as you choose between options like laminate wood, hardwood, engineered wood, carpet, tile or vinyl. 

 Here are some questions you might want to consider to help you make your final selection:
  • Do you or your family suffer with allergies that might be made worse by carpeting?
  • Will it bother you to step on cold tile in the morning?
  • Do you prefer sweeping hard flooring or vacuuming carpet?
  • Will the sound of clapping shoes on hard flooring bother you?
  • Do you like to lie on the floor and watch a movie?
  • Do you plan on selling your Lake of the Ozarks Home in the next few years?
  • Do you have areas of your home that will have heavy foot traffic leaving carpet stains?
  • If you entertain often, will your flooring be well suited guests and accidental spills? 

 

Here are some tips for picking the right flooring in the each area.
  • Choose rugged flooring for high traffic areas.
  • If you plan to use carpeting in your home, select a speckled carpet that will hide dirt.
  • Choose tile for bathrooms - it offers easy cleanup and is durable.
  • If you have young children, consider hard flooring for easy clean up.
  • Mudrooms areas will have easier cleanup if you use hard flooring vs carpet
For most people, flooring is a major decision that you will enjoy for years to come.  We hope the information above will help you decide which flooring option is right for you.

5 Home Buying Mistakes To Avoid

Image
Buying a home is a very exciting event, but it unfortunately comes with its fair share of pitfalls. Inexperienced home buyers may fall victim to common mistakes that can create added stress and frustration down the road. If you're getting ready to buy your first home at the Lake of the Ozarks , the team at Gattermeir Davidson Real Estate can help you avoid these pitfalls. Mistake #1: Not Getting Preapproved It's very common for first time home buyers to want to jump straight into touring different homes, before talking to a mortgage lender. When they do this, though, home buyers can get their hearts set on a certain property before they know for sure if they will be able to afford it. Do yourself (and your agent) a favor by getting preapproved for a home loan first so you will only visit homes you know you will be able to realistically consider buying. Mistake #2: Spending Beyond Your Means There can be a big difference between the size of loan you can qualify for and
