Color has the power to alter a room and also affect our mood. For example, blue is shown to slow your pulse rate and lower body temperature, which makes it a popular color for bedrooms. Green is also a good choice for a bedroom as it has a soothing effect. Yellow creates feelings of happiness and optimism while orange adds energy and warmth.

When selling your home, it is best to stick to neutral shades. Tans, grays and whites are always good starting points, although adding a grayish blue or greenish tan are also good neutrals to work with. Adding bright pops of color in accessories, like pillows, is an easy way to add personality without overwhelming a room.

Affordability is high, interest rates are low and sales activity is starting to heat up, so now is the time to start looking. Don’t be afraid to make your move. I am here to guide you throughout the entire process and help you find the home that fits you best.
