Quick and Inexpensive Bathroom Updates

Modern Upgraded Bathroom
We all know the two areas in a house that help sell a house are the kitchen and the bathroom. Here we will focus on the bathroom. Even if you do not have the budget or the time to do a full remodel, there are still things you can do to update your bathrooms for very little investment.

Under $25

Have you ever watched one of the home improvement shows on HGTV and the first thing a potential home buyer says is that the bathroom needs to be updated? In the bathroom, the vanity is usually the biggest offender. Modern lighting, sophisticated door knobs and drawer pulls, new faucets with sleek designs and decorative towel bars can all be easily swapped out for minimal cost and effort. Your local neighborhood hardware store or national chain carries a slew of options for a fresh updated look.  Another good place to find inexpensive items is eBay.

Under $50

The second offenders are tile and paint color.  Tile is more time consuming and significantly expensive to replace. But paint color can take an outdated bathroom into the new century. You can usually tell if a bathroom was built in the 50’s or 70’s. Pink and turquoise blue from the fifties; mustard yellow and avocado green from the seventies.  Transform the bathroom into a potential buyer’s personal spa-like oasis, by painting the walls a soft, light diffused color or a neutral shade. Complete the overall effect with brightly colored towels and rugs and a shower curtain in a complimentary color or print.

Under $75

You can also enhance the look of your shower with some new upgrades. Replace your old showerhead with a massaging or rain showerhead to stay in keeping with the luxurious feel. Most are easily installed. Add a shower shelf to keep shampoo and soap tidy and a curved shower rod will add inches of real estate to your elbow room.

Under $100

If you want to make everything match from towel bars to toilet tank levers, accessory suites (consisting of everything but the kitchen sink) can be found for under $100. Check out Home design stores like HomeGoods and Lowes for these decorative finds. 

If you are looking for the perfect bathroom or want a bathroom that you can customize to your taste for minimal cost, call the Stephanie Woods Team today. We can help with all your home buying and selling needs.

Wall Colors and Selling Your Home


Have you noticed that the present trend in wall color is dark, bold and saturated? Home owners enjoy expressing themselves with these bold hues but once those home owners decide to move and put their home on the market, their creative expression then becomes a not so inviting decorative nightmare. New buyers can have mixed emotions about these dark hued paint colors. Not only can they make a room appear darker and smaller, they also can detract from the potential homeowner’s vision of how they would decorate the room.

Here are some simple redecorating tips for wall color when setting the stage for your newly listed house.

Pick neutral colors (beige, tan, variations of white): Potential buyers want to envision how their furniture will fit into the space. When people fall in love with a house, they start decorating it on the house tour.

Remember that you can still use color: Lights hues, sunny hues and pastels are very inviting especially in rooms that get a lot of sunshine. There is a wonderful Instagram that explains the different emotions that colors evoke.

Use a white wall as a backdrop: If you still want some bold color in the room, pick brightly hued or patterned furniture. This gives the buyer an idea of what can really pop when set against a white backdrop.

Take caution if you want to paint the ceiling. High ceilings are one thing that all buyers want and the higher the better. Painting a ceiling a different color than white can lower the height of the ceiling. If repainting is not an option for you, wall color can be offset by painting any trim a white or neutral color.

If you are looking to buy a home where you can paint the walls any color you want, give the Stephanie Woods Team a call today to find the perfect blank canvas.

Prescott Valley, a community in mourning

imagesPrescott Valley is a community in mourning. I'm sure that you've heard the saying 'A family that prays together, stays together'. A time proven fact that basically means if you come together as a family you can work through the ups and downs that are sure to come along. This community is more than just business and infrastructure, Prescott Valley and all its residents are family, standing together and standing strong to overcome the sorrow that has befallen upon us. The Town of Prescott Valley is going through a healing process. The result of a lightning strike, the Yarnell fire not only destroyed property, it took the lives of 19 of our Hot Shot firefighters. Their families are mourning, the community is morning and yet we come together and rebuild a town and lift up the needs of the survivors of our fallen heroes. The town of Prescott Valley is hosting a 9-11 Healing Field ceremony on Wednesday September 11, 2013 from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm. This event will feature inspirational music and words as we honor first responders, military, and citizens lost on 9/11. The ceremony will come amidst the backdrop of 3,000 American flags in a Healing Field. Special tribute will also be paid this year to the Granite Mountain Hot Shots that perished in the Yarnell fire and Prescott Fire Chief Dan Fraijo will speak, along with Secretary of State Ken Bennett.

The Stephanie Woods Team will be attending this healing event. Standing proud next to our family members with shoulders back and heads held high we will honor the fallen. We would love for you to join us. If you travel from outlying areas and wish to become a part of the family that is Prescott Valley, we, at the Stephanie Woods Team, would like to assist you in finding you a home among your new family. Contact us today at (928) 237-4455, you won't be disappointed.

Prescott Valley, AZ - A community to call home!

hMaking a new community your home can have some challenges. Where is the cheapest place to buy gas? How do I find a handyman I can trust? Where do I send my children to school? Your realtor, being an expert in your new community, can help. Cheapest place to buy fuel? Costco or Sam's Club. Need a handyman? We can provide you with a list of highly qualified licensed professionals who can get the job done right, the first time. As far as needing a school for your children... Prescott Valley and the Humboldt Unified School District have many options including some A+ schools, charter schools and even an equine school. Arizona Agribusiness and Equine Center or AAEC was founded in 1997 and is a college preparatory high school. AAEC teaches all of the Arizona state standards in its core curricula along with Equine and veterinary studies.

Students that attend Prescott Valley's AAEC high school develop a strong sense of responsibility, organization, time management skills and writing skills to be competitive in a university setting. Students learn high levels of research methods and how to write as a college student.

One of the best benefits of students attending an Prescott Valley AAEC college prep high school is their opportunity to take transferable college courses that are used when they transfer to a university of their choice. On average students can transfer over 50+ community college course that equates close to a $30,000 savings in a university.

What’s the different between an Arizona charter school and a public school, you may ask -


There is a very large difference between a public and a charter school is that public schools are federally funded and charter schools are state funded. Arizona first started funding charter schools in 1994 in order to provide more educational options to students and parents. Arizona charter schools can be created from an existing public or private school but most often are newly developed. Students who attend a charter school are still required to complete standardized tests and receive annual report cards; however, they may not have to complete the same obligations as public school students in other regards.

The Stephanie Woods Team of Keller Williams not only wants to help you find the perfect home but we also want to help you find the perfect community. We believe the perfect community starts inside the four walls of your home and radiates out to everywhere you go, everything you see and everything you touch. Contact us today if you are interested in moving to Prescott Valley, we're here to help.

Dogs and Home ownership go hand in hand

h78% of dog owners own their own home. 18% rent. Does it surprise you to find out that dog owners are more likely to be homeowners instead of renters? Well, to tell you the truth, I wasn't either. I'm not sure if it's due to the fact that a multitude of landlords won't allow pets or that with the permanent feel of home ownership we just feel more comfortable to include our furry family. Whatever the case may be, it seems as though dogs and home ownership go hand in hand and now the Prescott area has a new feature that is sure to put to ease the hearts and minds of all of our local pet owners. The Prescott Area Pet Emergency Hospital is a cooperative venture of the Yavapai County Veterinary Community and is Northern Arizona's first 24-hour emergency and critical care hospital. Their current hours of operation are from 5:30 pm on Friday to 8:00 am on Monday and 24 hour care over major holidays, including - Memorial Day, Independence Day, Labor day, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years. They are located on Highway 69 across from Lowe's. All of the pet owners at  the Stephanie Woods Team find great comfort in knowing that no mater what time, day or night, we have emergency care available for our pets, even if our regular vet is closed.

Are you interested in becoming part of the 78% of dog owners that own their own home? The Stephanie Woods Team is eager to assist you (and your pets) to find a place to call your own. Whether it is needing options like tile flooring or a single level with a large fenced back yard, we can find you the home or your dreams - and your pets. [mortgage mortgage_term="30"]

Thinking about buying a home? Now is the time for ACTION!

Looking back we remember some of the great things that happened in 2012 - We got the iPhone 5, we experienced Gangnam Style and brought home the gold. All this AND low interest rates!!!

We can’t always know what the future holds, but we do know one thing: 2013 is going to be another great year to be a homeowner. If you haven’t yet taken the plunge into home ownership, it’s time to check on your financial strategy, because there’s never been a better time than now to buy a home.

Mortgage rates are CRAZY low

Low rates are like rainbows; they’re pretty marvelous, but when they’re gone, they’re gone. Just a few short years ago, 30-year fixed rates were above 6.00%. For December 2012, they averaged 3.35%. If you don’t speak mortgage, this means that by buying now, you’ll likely save thousands of dollars in interest, because rates can have a huge impact on your mortgage payment. Don’t wait for low rates to go the way of the dinosaur; when they’re gone, they probably won’t be coming back for a long, long time (if ever).

Protection against rent increases

Landlords have a built in itch to increase rent every year or two to accommodate for cost of living increases. This won’t happen if you own your home. Having a fixed-rate mortgage means that you’ll make the same payment for the life of your loan, so you won’t ever pay more unless you want to. That's something to help you sleep at night!

Home prices won’t be this low forever

Prices have been sitting pretty low for a while now, but this isn’t going to last: home prices are officially on the rise. Some of the hardest hit areas, like Arizona, have already been seeing some price increases!  2013 could be your final chance to snag a great deal on a home before it becomes old news.

Save a lot on next year’s taxes
As a homeowner, you’ll be able to take some tax deductions on everything from real estate taxes, to private mortgage insurance, to loan points paid on a purchase. In other words, home ownership and tax savings go together like cookies and milk.

A sense of stability
Owning your home feels a lot more permanent than renting. Your kids won’t have to worry about changing schools, making new friends, or having to start anew in a strange city every few years. If you have kids, buying a home is one of the best decisions you can make for their mental well-being.

Host a party at your place
Trying to entertain in a tiny apartment or a small duplex? There’s not a lot of free space, and then there are those pesky neighbors, just itching to call in a complaint. As a homeowner, you’ll have more space, more privacy, and a lot more elbow room between you and the friendly neighborhood ... neighbor!

Paint your kitchen chartreuse  (if you want to)
Are you sick of living with boring, white walls? Are you aching to knock down a wall? Are you finally ready to build that wrap around deck for outdoor entertaining? Landlords aren't usually inclined to let you alter their property. But if you're a homeowner, the home improvement store is your oyster! You can paint, remodel, destroy or restyle just about anything in your home, whenever you feel like it, and you can become the King (or Queen) of DIY!

You won’t have to think about mortgage rates again for a long, long time
Lock in a fixed-rate now and you’ll only have to worry about rates as often as you refinance your home or move. So unless you do one of these things between now and the time your home is paid off, high mortgage rates will be a problem of the past.

Great time for Veterans to buy!


In Praise of “All” Veterans

“Gentlemen, this is a glorious occasion for a speech.

“I would like to speak in all praise that is due to the many brave officers and soldiers who have fought in the cause of the Union and liberties of this country from the beginning of this war.

“I say I would like to speak in praise of these men but I am unprepared. I would not like to mention the name of a single officer, lest in doing so, I wrong some other one whose name may not occur to me.

“Recent events bring up certain names, gallantly prominent, but I do not want to particularly name them at the expense of others, who are as justly entitled to our gratitude.

“I therefore do not upon this occasion name a single man. And now I have said about as much as I ought to say in this impromptu manner, and if you please, I'll take the music.”

Do you know who read this speech on Independence Day in 1863 - Abraham Lincoln.
Still to this day does the sentiment hold true of those who have served our country and fought for our freedom.

As in that no man’s name can be singled out for bravery, so as no man’s opportunity should be singled out in home ownership as all should have the opportunity to own their own home.

The Stephanie Woods Team supports our men and women who currently serve or have served in past wars. Let our agents help you through the VA loan process, find your dream home and make your home search experience a pleasant one. Let us help you get into your dream home today.
