The Top Activities for Valentine’s Day That You Will Love!

History of Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is celebrated on February 14th, honoring Saint Valentine and celebrating love and affection. 

Saint Valentine was a Christian martyr living in the 3rd century Roman Empire. He is the patron saint of lovers and is associated with celebrating Valentine’s Day. The details of his life and the reasons for his martyrdom have yet to be well known and are subject to different interpretations and legends. One legend was said to have healed the jailer’s daughter of blindness and left her a letter signed “from your Valentine.” Hence the Valentine’s Day Card

Europeans began exchanging written declarations of love and affection on February 14th. The practice was popularized in England and France, and by the 17th century, handwritten cards became more decorative, with lace, ribbons, and other decorations added. The first mass-produced Valentine’s Day cards were produced in the early 19th century. The trend continued to grow, with the introduction of new printing techniques allowing for more elaborate designs. Today, Valentine’s Day cards remain a popular way to express love and affection, with millions of cards exchanged each year.

10 Tips for Enjoying Cheese Lovers Day at Pointe South!

Cheese lovers day is a day to celebrate cheese and all things cheese related. It is a day to appreciate the variety of flavors and textures that cheese can bring to a dish, and to enjoy all the ways that cheese can be enjoyed. Whether you like soft and creamy cheeses, sharp and tangy ones, or something in between, cheese lover day is the perfect time to indulge in your favorite varieties. Some ideas for celebrating cheese lover day might include trying out new and interesting cheese recipes, visiting a local cheese shop or market, or simply enjoying some cheese on its own or with your favorite accompaniments.

cheese lovers, pensacola

Where should I buy the best cheese in Pensacola, Florida?

There are many places in Pensacola, Florida where cheese lovers can get their fix. Some options might include:
  1. Local cheese shops: These specialized stores often carry a wide variety of cheese from different regions and made from different types of milk. Some examples include: Four Winds Fine Foods Market, Ever’man Cooperative Grocery & Café Garden Street, and Chrisoula’s Cheesecake Shoppe and Café.
  2. Supermarkets: Many supermarkets carry a selection of cheese, including both domestic and imported varieties. Magee Field Grocery, Publix, Aldi and the Fresh Market are all great places to visit.
  3. Farmers’ markets: These markets often feature cheese from local producers, which can be a great way to support small businesses in the area. You’ll want to visit Coastal Alabama Farmers and Fisherman’s Market in Foley, Alabama.
  4. Specialty food stores: Stores like Whole Foods and other specialty food stores often have a wide selection of cheese, including both domestic and imported options. Costello’s Italian Deli, Butcher Shop, Four Winds Fine Foods is a fantastic option.
  5. Online retailers: You can also find cheese for sale online from retailers like Amazon, Murray’s Cheese, and others.

Charcuterie board for every meal? YES and THANK YOU!!!

A charcuterie board is a selection of cured meats, cheese, and other accompaniments that are arranged on a platter or board for serving. This is a cheese lovers dream and an absolutely amazing way to host a family, friends, or an open house event!

Here’s how you can create your own charcuterie board:

  1. Choose your meats: Select a variety of cured meats such as salami, prosciutto, and chorizo. Aim for a mix of flavors and textures.
  2. Pick your cheeses: Choose a selection of cheeses that have different flavors and textures, such as a soft cheese, a hard cheese, and a blue cheese. The examples above are great options to purchase from!
  3. Add some garnishes: Include some olives, pickles, and other small garnishes to add flavor and texture to the board.
  4. Include some spreads: Add some spreads such as mustard, jam, or honey to add depth of flavor to the board.
  5. Arrange the ingredients: Arrange the meats, cheeses, garnishes, and spreads on a large platter or cutting board, allowing plenty of space between the different items.
  6. Serve: Serve the charcuterie board with some crusty bread or crackers, and allow guests to enjoy the various items on the board as they like.

I recommend checking out a few different places to find the best selection and prices for the cheese you’re looking for. Let us know which are your favorites and post a picture of your charcuterie board!

If you are are thinking about listing your home, give us a call! We would be happy to host an open house with an amazing charcuterie board and wine!

Home Paint Colors: Most Popular Paint Colors of 2023

Sherwin-Williams color of the year.

Is it time to bring warm colors back into your home? So what are the colors of 2023? Well, Sherwin-Williams color of the year is called Resend Point, which has blush tones that create a cozy and calm environment. Sherwin-Williams says this color “celebrates restorative energy, well-being, and kindness.” We can all agree that walking into a home that promotes restorative energy, well-being, and kindness is a home we all want to be in!

Warm pink shades, such as blush or peach, can add a touch of warmth and coziness to a room. These color pallets are often associated with nature and can help create a sense of harmony and balance in a space. A good contrast is deep blue greens, such as teal or navy. These can add depth and richness to a room and make it feel more sophisticated! We all know how much we love teal and blue-greens! According to Southern Living, these soft reds will be everywhere in 2023!

Benjamin Moore color of the year.

Benjamin Moore’s color of 2023 is Raspberry Blush. I love this fun choice! Which is also a shade of warm coral pink. Other colors of the year include Savannah Green, North Sea Green (love it), New Age, Starry Night Blue, Wenge, Tofino Sunset (peachy pink), and Cinnamon. I enjoy how these stone-tone colors are creative and am excited to see how these colors are used. I also cannot help but think these colors yell out, “live here at the gulf coast!” What fun beach colors.

Is painting my home a trendy color a good choice?

You may be asking yourself; I would like to change the colors in my home to try North Sea Green or Starry Night Blue, but I am too nervous! What if it does not match my décor? Sherwin-Williams and Benjamin Moore have peel-and-stick paint samples. I love this option as you only need to spend a little time painting the wall sample and then painting it back if you do not like it.

In addition, think about the natural light in the room and how it will affect the color. This step should not be overlooked. The same color can look very different in other rooms. Therefore, we recommend always testing the paint on your walls before committing to a final color.

It is also essential to remember that color trends come and go! What’s popular this year may not be popular when you are ready to list your home for sale or rent. Therefore, sometimes it is better to use a trendy color as an accent. This allows you to easily change the color scheme of your area as trends change without having to repaint the entire room.

Another option is to choose a neutral color for the walls and use color trends in accessories such as throw pillows, blankets, rugs, and artwork. This allows you to change the color scheme of your space with minimal effort and expense.

We can help you!

Even though trends change, we do not want you to be afraid of using a color other than white or grey. We love envisioning different colors on walls when touring homes! A fresh coat of paint makes such a difference and lifts your spirits! In addition, buyers and renters may be looking for specific color styles when searching listings on the internet.

In summary, using color trends to paint your home can be a great way to renew your space, but it’s also important to consider your style, the overall ambiance, and what will attract buyers or renters. We know choosing a color for your home or specific rooms can be tricky, and we would love to help you! So give us a call today; we would be happy to help!

How to Create an Inviting Atmosphere for Your Photo Shoot

Are You getting ready to list your home for sale or for rent? Here are some important steps you can take to ensure beautiful pictures during your photo shoot.

Clean and Declutter

Cleaning and decluttering is 100% the most important step. Make sure your home is clean and free of clutter. Organizing will make the space look larger and more attractive to potential buyers. When a home appears to look messy, it sets the tone that the property is not well-maintained, which can be a turn-off for potential buyers.

On the other hand, a clean and organized home can make a good impression and help potential buyers envision themselves living there. Nicely made beds, fresh matching bathroom towels, and sheer neutral curtains help create a warm and cozy look. Fans will be turned off for photos, so try to have those cleaned. We want to do everything we can to attract the most offers or potential renters. We can recommend some incredible cleaning vendors who can help you!  

Stage the Space for your Photo Shoot

In addition to decluttering and cleaning, it may also be helpful to stage the interior of the home. This involves rearranging the furniture and décor to create a cohesive and welcoming look. Staging can help showcase the full potential of a home and make it more appealing to buyers. Anything that could potentially prevent someone from envisioning themselves in the home should be stored away.  If there’s going to be a room off-limits for storage, let the photographer know. Sometimes it is a good idea to get a storage unit to store the items you do not need. This comes in handy when it is time to move!

Professional photographers recommend removing towels and toiletry from the bathroom countertops and showers. Removing robes from behind the bathroom door in case it’s closed. Your should put personal family photos away; a few are okay. Make sure anything with your personal information is put away, like baby name plates. These usually contain a child’s full name and birthday, which is unsuitable for internet display. Finally, consider things you don’t want in the pictures, like gun safes, extra TVs, and excessive clothing.

Make the Necessary Repairs Before Your Photo Shoot

Fix any broken or damaged items in the home. This will show buyers and renters that the house has been well-maintained and is in good condition. Ensure your front door has a fresh coat of paint and is free of any debris. This is the first impression of walking into the home. We want the front door to “pop” in the pictures.

Improve Curb Appeal

Make sure the outside of the home looks as good as the inside. This includes mowing the lawn, trimming shrubs, fresh mulch, and planting flowers. In addition, if you have a large camper or an RV, consider moving it for the day to prevent shadows and make the space look bigger.

Make sure the pool is clean and free of leaves. A sparkling blue pool draws in buyers and renters! Your photographer can typically add green grass to exterior photos, but only if the home typically has green grass; we need to be truthful for the buyers. One uncommon idea that usually looks good is adding a couple of fake flowers to the hedges! No one can tell in the pictures!

Add Lighting

Make sure there is enough light in the home before your photo shoot. Turn on all the lights, open curtains and blinds, and consider adding additional lighting if necessary. Photographers recommend trying to have bright lighting that matches in hue (red/blue/yellow). We can help determine if more lighting is needed before picture day.

Timing of Photos

Morning or “golden hour” is the best time in general; it’s best to take photos when the sun is not directly shining on the front of the house. By doing so can create harsh shadows and make the colors look washed out. If the property faces east or west, it’s best to take photos in the morning or late afternoon when the sun is not directly in front of the house. If the property faces north or south, the best time to take photos is around midday when the lighting is more even. It’s also a good idea to refrain from taking pictures on overcast or cloudy days, as the lighting can be flat and unappealing. We will work with the photographer to ensure we have the perfect timing.

Oversaturating or Over Sharpening Pictures

We want to make sure the photographer doesn’t over-edit the photos. Too heavily edited pictures make the home look unrealistic and misleading to potential buyers and renters.

Do Not Stress!!!

This list may seem like a lot, but we are 100% here to help! So please turn on the music and make it fun! Photo shoots can be fun and it is exciting to see professional pictures of your home.

Who Loves to Save Money?!?! How to Remove PMI Payments!

Who else LOVES to SAVE MONEY? You’ll love this real estate hack if you don’t already know.

No matter when you bought your house, if you did so with less than 20% down, your mortgage lender tacked on the extra cost of private mortgage insurance (PMI) as a standard precaution. ​​​​​​​​Removing PMI payments can be a significant way to save money in the long run. PMI is usually required when a homebuyer makes a down payment of less than 20% on their home purchase. Once the homeowner reaches 20% equity in their home through mortgage payments or home value appreciation, they can request the cancellation of PMI.

By eliminating PMI, homeowners can potentially save hundreds or even thousands of dollars annually. This extra money can be put towards paying off the mortgage faster, saving for future goals, or investing in other financial endeavors. It’s essential to stay updated on the value of your home and the amount you owe on your mortgage to determine when you’re eligible to remove PMI and start enjoying the financial benefits of doing so.

PMI, Remove pmi, mortgage

In addition, PMI typically only protects the lender in the event of a default. According to NerdWallet, PMI rates usually range from .58% to 1.86% of the original loan amount. So, for example, a $400,000 loan with 7.5% down would mean your PMI payment would be $305/month (with a 700-credit score).

Let’s Talk PMI

✔️ Confident that your house is worth more today than when you purchased it? ​​​​​​​​

✔️ Can I cancel PMI if my home value increases? ​​​​​​​​

✔️ When does PMI go away?​​​​​​​​

📝 Whether your individual mortgage qualifies for PMI removal will depend on factors like the current value of your home, the loan type, how much you still owe on the loan, and your payment history.​​​​​​​​ With the example above, it would take 8.66 years for the lender to remove this $300 monthly payment. So, you would be paying over $31,000! However, do not stress because there are ways to remove this sooner.  

How Can We Remove the PMI?

💰 In all honesty, the hot real estate market of 2021-2022 meant many homeowners saw their equity rise. Even though a market shift is underway as of late due to higher interest rates, many homeowners with mortgages will most likely be sitting on significant equity due to still-high home values. In Q2 2022, a report from CoreLogic shows that homeowners with mortgages saw an equity increase of nearly 27.8% year-over-year. CoreLogic forecasts an average rise in home prices of 4.3% between June 2022 and June 2023.​​​​​​​​

💼 As a result of this trend, NOW would be a good time for many borrowers to see if they qualify for private mortgage insurance cancellation. A higher equity stake in your home can lower the perceived risk of your mortgage and, in some cases, speed up the path to PMI removal.​​​​​​​​ See! We told you not to stress!

In addition, because PMI can add tens of thousands of dollars in housing costs over the life of a loan, it’s essential to consider taking steps to remove PMI as soon as you’re eligible.​​​​​​​​

Long story short… 😉… reach out to me anytime for a CMA! Our team would love to have coffee (or a margarita) with you to discuss it further.  Pointe South is always looking for ways to save our customers money!

At Pointe South Rentals and Real Estate, our mission is to be the ultimate resource for all your real estate needs.
