The Sharpe Mortgage Team is committed to providing you each week with helpful information on topics such as the local market, home trends, homebuying tips, and more. This week we shared information on home staging design trends, budgeting apps, and the Teal Pumpkin Project. Read more on these topics below.

Home Staging Design Trends

Seventy-seven percent of buyers’ agents say staging makes it easier for buyers to visualize a property as their future home. While staging a home is never guaranteed to make it sell faster, this process certainly presents the home in a more flattering light and can pique the interest of potential buyers. As you prepare a home for the market, follow these staging trends to ensure your listing is trendy and inviting to buyers.

Budgeting Apps To Make Saving Simple

Creating and sticking to a budget is an ongoing goal for many people. Using an app for budgeting can help you save money and avoid overdraft or late payment fees. Many apps provide notifications to let you know when you have gone over budget or when you are nearing deadlines to pay bills. Here are some of the most popular free budgeting apps to help you keep your finances in check.

The Teal Pumpkin Project

Halloween is right around the corner and children everywhere are looking forward to celebrating in some way. Unfortunately, children with food allergies miss out on the full Halloween experience as most types of candy are off-limits to them. In light of this, Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE) has created the Teal Pumpkin Project to make sure all children will come home from trick-or-treating with something to enjoy. Learn more about this project and how you can get involved.
