5 Eco-Friendly Ideas for a More Sustainable Home
Looking to go green at home? If you’re searching for ways to curate a more sustainable space, check out these five eco-friendly ideas: 1. Conduct an energy auditA home energy audit is an effective way to assess how energy is currently being used in your place, and determine how to optimize functionality in order to save on utility bills. When a professional conducts the audit, they’ll likely take a close look at things like the HVAC system, lighting, appliances, doors, windows, insulation, and more, and suggest efficient solutions to any issues that arise – like air leakage, which can be costly. 2. Implement smart home technologyAccording to the National Association of REALTORS®, 82% of homebuyers surveyed in their 2024 Profile of Homebuyers and Sellers report labeled potential heating and cooling costs as important considerations when purchasing a home. After conducting an energy audit and addressing any air leaks, you may decide to upgrade to a smart thermostat, which offers a more customized approach to heating and cooling a home. Many of these digital control systems allow you to customize a temperature schedule to help avoid wasting hot or cold air. They’re also often are paired with a smart phone app, allowing you to adjust your home’s temperature when you’re away. If you’re upgrading your fixtures with more energy-efficient lightbulbs, check out LED-powered smart bulbs with color-changing and hue-adjusting technology. These can typically be controlled by an app, too, for when you need to make adjustment on the go. 3. Learn local recycling rulesRecycling remains a great way to repurpose existing materials. But in order to make sure the items you dispose of – like cardboard boxes or glass jars – have a better chance of actually being recycled, it’s important to brush up on local rules and regulations, and heed them correctly. Visit your town, city or county’s government website for details pertaining to the recyclable items they accept, like how to empty them properly and what requirements are for sorting them. Other unwanted household items can be repurposed, too. Make an effort to donate gently used clothing, furniture, décor and more . Unopened, unexpired food items may be of use to a local food pantry. And check with the local animal shelter to see if they are in need of old sheets and towels, which can be used to make kennels more comfortable. 4. Add reusable items to your daily routinesCertain simple swaps around the house can limit the need for single-use products. Examples may include swapping paper towels for cloth options, plastic produce bags for mesh alternatives, or traditional grocery bags for reusable ones. 5. Xeriscape the yardXeriscaping is a lower-maintenance, artful landscaping design that requires significantly less water usage than a traditional lawn. It can be an especially helpful option for people who live in drier climates, or for those simply looking to diversify their outdoor space with a wider array of flora and fauna. If you’re ditching a traditional lawn, try implementing plants intended to thrive in xeric conditions, like cacti, succulents, ground plants and desert-dwelling flowers – and get creative with rocks to support these plants and fill space. Stop by a local gardening center and ask what greenery is native to your area. Some of these variants may be great choices for your xeriscaping journey – and they could also benefit members of the local ecosystem, like butterflies, pollinating bees and other essential bugs.

Read More....RE/MAX Report: Home Sales Up 23% This Spring
The start of spring 2025 was marked by a significant uptick in home selling activity across the U.S. From February to March, nationwide home sales increased a whopping 23%. That was a big takeaway from the latest RE/MAX National Housing Report, which surveyed the real estate trends of 50 metro areas. This edition of the monthly report found upward movement in several other housing metrics as well. [embed]https://youtube.com/watch?v=h4bOzP5zWB4&si=h9mDKtLlFuxusTjI[/embed] Curious about what’s happening in the market? RE/MAX is sharing these insights: New listings are contributing to growing inventoryHomebuyers entering the market this season are likely finding more options to choose from. March saw a 29.8% increase in new listings compared to the month prior, and nearly an 8% increase of the same metric compared to one year prior. These new listings contributed to the country’s growing inventory – the overall quantity of homes for sale, including listings rolling over from previous months. In March, total housing inventory was up 8% from February. Plus, inventory was 35.5% higher than March 2024. This elevated inventory is one contributing factor to the nationwide rise in home sales. Home prices are going upAcross the board, home prices appear to be on the rise, too. The median sales price in March was $435,000, nearly $8,000 higher than February and a significant $15,000 higher than March 2024. Like all market metrics, outcomes can vary greatly by location. For example, when it comes to median home sale prices, Burlington, Vermont, saw a 22.4% increase in March, whereas Honolulu, Hawaii, saw a 4.5% decrease in March. The pace of home sales is seeing momentumThe pace of sales is picking up this spring. The RE/MAX report for March found that homes across the U.S. were spending an average of 44 days on the market before selling, which is seven days shorter than in February. Erik Carlson, CEO of RE/MAX Holdings, says the current market has plenty of bright spots for prospective homebuyers and sellers. “As we enter the prime homebuying season, the uptick in sales and inventory may lead to even more positive market activity,” he says. “With a relatively good supply of homes for sale, and rates holding with signs of some improvement, many buyers are finding current market conditions to be the most favorable they’ve seen in the past few years.” When these buyers and sellers are ready to enter the spring or summer market, they’re wise to work with a trusted real estate professional – one who can leverage their experience and expertise to help ensure a smooth transaction.

Browsing for a new place to call home is exciting. What’s more exciting? Finally finding “the one” – and imagining all of the memories yet to be made there. During your house search process, here’s how to know if you’ve come across an offer-worthy spot. The home has your essentialsWhen looking for a home, it’s smart to view some features as must-haves and others as nice-to-haves. For example, you might need a certain number of bedrooms, whereas cosmetic upgrades, or extras like a pool, might be among the things you want but can live without. If location is the top priority, you may need to compromise on some home features. If you have more flexibility in terms of location, you can expand your property search and have more inventory to choose from. Price is another important component – and it’s important for a house to be a good fit financially. Is a prospective home in your price range, especially after factoring in things like mortgage interest, insurance and potential HOA dues? Does it need renovations – and if so, what do those costs look like? Ponder questions like these as you zero in on a potential new home. The home helps you achieve your goalsYou might be searching for a forever home – or you could be looking for one that would suit your lifestyle for the next several years. Either way, when considering if a property is the best fit, make sure it aligns with your personal goals. An example: If you’re hoping to expand your family or have relatives move in to create a multigenerational household, determine whether the place you’re considering can support those plans. The home suits the needs of those who will live thereIt’s important that the home meets the needs of all stakeholders making the purchase, as well as those who will live there. Check that everyone is agreement and can envision their future in the home. This is true for kids and pets, too. Does the property have outdoor space? Or is it nearby to parks and outdoor recreation opportunities? Does it have a fence for four-legged friends who might be a flight risk – or a patio for those who like to catch some rays? Consider what features make sense for you and your loved ones. The home makes you happyBuying a home is an incredible milestone. In fact, it’s likely the largest transaction you’ll make in your lifetime. And being a homeowner can come with great perks, like stability, equity, freedom to get creative, and so much more. If the thought of owning a certain home makes you jump for joy, then it might just be “the one.” Starting the home search process? Connect with a local REMAX agent today.

Read More....3 Productivity-Boosting Tips From an Under-30 Real Estate Pro
When a 21-year-old Bryan Schube entered the real estate profession, he was unsure of what the path to success would look like. Now an exceptional entrepreneur at 29, Schube can proudly say that path has been paved by hard work, dedication and innovation. Schube, an agent with RE/MAX Unlimited Results Realty in Tiffin, Ohio, has closed more than 220 transaction sides so far in his career, conducting sales in a wide variety of property types, from residential to commercial to agricultural. He’s also a valuable member of the Jones Home Team, which earned RE/MAX Chairman’s Club status for its high production in 2024. Schube, a finalist for the REALTOR® Magazine 30 Under 30 Class of 2025, shares three productivity tips for fellow agents: 1. Know your customer wellA customer-first approach is the key to success, according to Schube. “For me, real estate has never been just about selling houses – it’s about the people who make them home. Taking the time to really get to know my clients has allowed me to anticipate their needs, help them navigate challenges and make the process as smooth as possible. It’s about building relationships that last long after the real estate transaction is over,” he says. “I’ve always found that the best agents listen more than they talk. The more I understand my clients’ needs and wants, the better I can help them find the right home and negotiate the best deal. It’s not just about closing a sale – it’s about putting them in the right position to succeed.” 2. Leverage tech to expand your reachHarnessing the power of technology is crucial in real estate. Through cutting-edge marketing strategies (with trend-driven social media content) and integrated tech platforms, Schube continuously seeks ways to grow his sphere and enhance the real estate experience for clients and agents alike. “Using technology means connecting with more people and making the process smoother for my clients. By embracing the most up-to-date technology, like MAX/Tech® powered by BoldTrail, I can streamline communication, enhance marketing efforts and provide real-time insights,” Schube says. “My clients find this incredibly useful, as it helps them stay informed, navigate the market more efficiently, and achieve their real estate goals faster and with less stress.” He adds, “In today’s digital world, having a thoughtful online presence is crucial. I’ve found that using the right tech tools help me work smarter, not harder, while still delivering a top-notch experience for my clients.” 3. Have an effective support system in placeAligning with a productive team has shown Schube the value in being part of a collaborative community – one that roots for him every day. It’s something he’d suggest for other growth-minded professionals, too. “I’ve learned that no one builds a successful real estate career on their own. It’s all about surrounding yourself with people who challenge you, support you, and push you to be better every single day,” Schube shares. “I’m fortunate to have a team and brokerage who do just that – and it’s made all the difference. Their guidance has not only helped me grow but has also allowed me to become a leader myself. A supportive team and a forward-thinking brokerage create an environment where I can be my best and keep pushing toward bigger goals.” Through April 9, head over to REALTOR Magazine and vote daily for Schube to earn a spot in the 30 Under 30 Class of 2025.
