New Year’s Resolutions for Waterfront Homes for Sale in Pittsburgh PA

For a lot of people, the start of the year brings with it the feisty spirit of new beginnings. It is a popular time when New Year resolutions are made to contain specific goals and objectives. Some people make financial resolutions such as finally creating a healthy savings account, getting more exercise, eating better, volunteering in the local community or skipping the daily expensive coffee run. While it’s important to have all these personal resolutions for the coming year, don’t forget to include resolutions for your waterfront home for sale in Pittsburgh PA.

Here’s a quick list of resolutions you may want to consider for your home:

Aim for a more energy-efficient home.

Wasted energy is wasted money that adds to the destruction of our Mother Earth. There are several ways to help you gain control of your home’s energy use starting with an energy efficient audit. An energy professional will inspect your home and report what areas of your home need improvement. Once an audit is done, it’s time to tackle all the to-do items on the list which can include sealing all ducts, replacing old windows, light bulbs with more energy-efficient ones, whole house insulation - especially blown in foam for older homes - installing a programmable thermostat, replacing old and worn-out appliances and more.

Create a financial plan for your home.

Much like your personal financial resolutions, it’s equally important to create a budget for your waterfront home for sale in 3 Rivers Pittsburgh. Don’t get caught up with the added expense of home remodeling and DIY home improvement projects. Make sure to carve out a 12-month plan which includes details of exactly what you need or desire to improve in your home and how much you’re willing to spend on it versus how much you can actually spend on it.

Clear all the clutter.

How many times have you woken up to the sound of a persistent alarm clock, running towards the shower, and then spending too much time looking for all the things you need for that day, making you skip breakfast and grabbing an expensive coffee while you head to work, instead? If this sounds familiar, it’s time you start cutting the clutter at your home for sale on the river Pittsburgh. Start by organizing your closet then move on to the bathroom, the living room, your home office, the dining room, the kitchen, the patio and the garage. Also, keep in mind that clearing the clutter does not simply mean taking everything out and keeping it all locked up in plastic boxes under the bed. Clear it, don’t store it. Donate whatever you no longer need. Remember the adage, “If you’ve not used it in 6 months, toss it!” Throw out everything that is beyond use or cannot be repaired.  Then organize neatly all your important useful items.

This year, aim for a more beautiful, clutter-free, energy-efficient home that beckons you after a long day at work.
