Protect Your Home with Clean and Efficient Gutters

Gutter and Downspout Maintenance

Clean, efficient gutters and downspouts are essential to keeping water channeled away from your roof, walls, foundation and landscape. Experts generally recommend cleaning your gutters twice a year in the spring and fall. If you have a lot of trees (especially pines) near your home you may need to clean gutters more often. 

Letting leaves and debris pile up can damage your roof as well as your fascia and gutters. The excess weight of debris and standing water can cause them to sag and pull away.

It is also important to check that the gutters are sloped toward the downspout and the downspouts drain away from the foundation. You may need to add an extension or a splash block for added protection to divert the runoff. If you shop around for splash blocks, you will find many choices such as sculptured/decorative stone, aluminum, concrete, and plastic.

If you are able to clean the gutters safely yourself, a ladder on firm, secure ground is best. It can be dangerous attempting maintenance from on top of the roof. If your home is on a hillside or too tall to access with a ladder, consult a professional.

To get started, clean leaves and debris from the downspout end first, and work away to the other end. Check with your local home improvement store for hose attachments made specifically for gutter cleaning. If your downspout is clogged, check the downspout strainer(s) and be sure it is clear. Check your gutter for leaks by running a hose with water. If your gutter has leaks, first be sure the seam/connection is tight and seal the joints with gutter sealant. Use the proper product for your gutter material, whether aluminum, fiberglass or other. Once cleaned and repaired, you may want to use one of the many products available to help keep them free of debris. One option is to install gutter covers. There are many types, including screens, grates and foam. Look online to research products and installation instructions.

Noisy Downspouts

There’s nothing quite like the loud pinging sound of a noisy downspout in the middle of the night. Generally this sound comes from the elbow, or bend, in the downspout. When the dripping water hits a hard surface it can amplify it to an annoying level.

There are a few do-it-yourself fixes you can try (no guarantees!).

  • Attach a piece of 1/4” or 3/8” poly rope inside the downspout. The rope can channel the water and eliminate the excessive sound.
  • Attach a scrubbing sponge (or look for gutter sponges online) to the inside of the downspout where the water hits the elbow. This should soften or eliminate the sound.
  • Try a decorative downspout such as a “rain chain.” Shop around for a style that complements the design of your home.

Market Update – 9.9.19

UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_2d1c6

Happy Monday Caton Team Friends,

I just did my quick, Market Update on Instagram stories – but I wanted to follow up here as well. 

This just in – Redwood City has 1.4 months of inventory – that is a lot of homes for sale!  More than we have seen in ages!  With this brings growing pains.  Buyers have much more to choose from than ever before!  We’re seeing price reductions as between $10,000 – $200,000 (depending on the location) on homes that have been on the market for a while.  WHY?  Because with these many homes for sale – new listings are pushing older listings down the list and getting lost in the shuffle.  Buyers who are doing this alone – and many are – are getting caught up with the new listings and loosing some major opportunities for homes that have been on the market for over 2 weeks!  It is time to get serious people.  It is time to utilize the power for REALTORS! 

Though our market is in flux – you and I know that the Bay Area is the best place on earth to live – thus our high prices – because so many people want to call The Bay home.  But right now there is opportunity.  Homes in Redwood City are selling for 99$% of list price meaning – the are selling for 1% BELOW THEIR MARKET PRICE!  You read that right and it’s been a long time since we’ve seen this.  For now, the frenzy is on hold, we are seeing few offer dates – though if the house is hot there will be a date – but that’s not the point.  There are plenty of homes, needing to sell and willing to negotiate!  You just need a Realtor to help you sort all this out!  Did I mention that interest rates are down to 3/3.5%!!!  That is practically free money!  When rates are this low – you can buy MORE HOUSE because it costs you less.  However, this is a short term opportunity   When rates go up – a buyer will lose purchase power because the cost of money has increased.  So this really is a market many buyers have been waiting for but they don’t know they’re in it.

If you want to be a homeowner in the Bay Area – we’d love to sit down with you, get to know your wants and needs.  Earn your trust and in kind, earn your business.  We love what we do and we’d love to help you!

Now – what does this mean for sellers?  It is hard to see the vaule of your home change.  It will do so for ever and ever, the up and down cycles of Real Estate.  However, what it comes down to – what are your goals?  Are you selling to move to a larger home, smaller home, out of area etc?  There are many facets to consider when buying and selling Real Estate and with 35 years of combined, local Real Estate experience – The Caton Team can help you make the best decision for yourself and your family!

Contact The Caton Team at any time for all your Real Estate needs – we’re happy to answer your questions and be of service.

Testimonial of the Day – From Jenny

IMG_8422

To The Future Clients of The Caton Team

Buying a house can be a very scary experience especially in the San Francisco Bay Area where very high stakes are involved.  I have purchased home in other states and nothing was quite like it is here.

The Caton Team helped smooth and ease the way whenever there was a ‘pothole-in-the-road’ on the way to owning my home.  It is nice having a “team approach” because I felt like I would receive two opinions that gave me different perspectives to look at.  I was then able to see through their eyes the ‘diamond in the rough’ and, what I could do with it.

I found them to be kind, caring, understanding and sensitive to my needs, informative, diligent and sympathetic to my situation.  Their follow-through was great!  They didn’t leaving me hanging with “I’ll get back to you.”  They found the answers to all my questions and in a timely manner.

I felt they went above and beyond when I asked them to video tape an entire house, including a fuze box and “sniff” the craw space for me.  I happened to be in another state at the time and needed them to act quickly because the property I was looking at was very active.  This really helped because it made up my mind that I was gong to bid on it.

I liked the fact that, if I couldn’t reach Sabrina I could talk to Susan and, the messages got communicated between them. We were all on the same page!

I am so grateful that they were able to move quickly through the process so I could be in the game of the ‘biding war”.

And, as it turned out, with either advice I got the home I was bidding on and wanted!

Thank you Caton Team!

– Jenny B.

Give Your Home Entryway a Facelift in 10 Easy Steps

Take a look at your home’s front entry. Step back, and ask a few questions: Does it convey your style? Is it well maintained and safe? Does it have an inviting “wow” factor? If your home’s front door entry looks a bit tired, uninspired, or neglected, here’s a list of quick, inexpensive updates to give it the welcome feel you want to convey.

Paint Your Door

Make it pop! If choosing a new paint color intimidates you, search online for photos of painted doors.

Add Accessories

Add a wreath that complements your home’s style and colors. Changing it with the seasons provides a fresh look all year long.

Replace Numbers

Update your house numbers by refinishing or replacing. Have fun with where and how you place them, horizontally or vertically, on the door itself, on the surrounding trim, or on a decorative wall mount.

Swap Out Door Hardware

Update your door’s style and security with new hardware. Depending on the style you want, the complementary hardware could be a traditional keyway and lock assembly or one of the latest electronic locks.

Replace Door Knocker

Fancy or fun, door knockers add charm to your front door. Express your style.

Upgrade the Doorbell

If your doorbell button needs a refresh, replace it with a finish that matches your door’s hardware, or consider updating with a video doorbell for security.

Stage Your Door

Frame your entry with plants and pots. The walls surrounding and near your door frame make wonderful places for adding a wall planter or outdoor art.

Add a Doormat

Say welcome with a doormat that expresses your home’s personality. Be sure it’s large enough for the scale of your front door and entryway.

Update the Kick Plate

Refinish or replace a worn kick plate. Its purpose is functional as well as esthetic – if you update door hardware, don’t neglect the kick plate.

Light it Up

Maintain, update, or add lighting for safety and beauty. Lanterns with battery candles add a warm and inviting light.

REAL EATS – Apple Fritter – San Mateo

REAL EATS – The beat on where to eat!
Hello! Thank you for reading REAL EATS, where my passion for Real Estate and food meet.  On our next adventure we visit….

Apple Fritter – San Mateo

My hubby and I are always on the quest for amazing breakfast joints.  Apple Fritter is no secret even if they are tucked under the 92.  Their doughnuts make my mouth water.  Their menu is fun and delicious – a combination of naughty and nice.  I’ve been here several names and never manage to snap a photo because I have to jump in – except for this one time – the stuffed french toast was to die for.  Worth every calorie.  Highly recommended.

The 5 P’s to Loving Your Home More

Here are some simple (and mostly free) ways to love your home more everyday:

Paint It

Neutral paint colors are great for attracting buyers when your home is on the market, but leave a lot to be desired for most homeowners. Let your personality shine through your walls and go crazy with bright and fun paint colors that make you smile every time you walk into the room.  Trying something new and exciting with color – if you hate it, you can always change it back.

Pictures

Pictures are taken at some of the best times in our lives; weddings, vacations, time spent with loved ones, etc. Make a collage of photos of your favorite memories and proudly display them in an area of your home that you are likely to see them often, such as your entryway or living room. What better way to love your home than to decorate it with pictures of things you love?

Perk Up with Light

Sunlight is one of the best ways to brighten up your home and make it feel warm and inviting. Whenever it’s a bright and sunny day, open all of your drapes and fill your home with natural light. On gloomy days, make sure each room has sufficient lighting to still feel bright.

Pamper Your Senses

Sight shouldn’t be the only sense you focus on when decorating your home. Remember to indulge your other senses such as smell, touch, sound and even taste. Bring in your favorite smell, such as fresh flowers or a mild potpourri, to make your home feel inviting. Engage your sense of touch with textured accents like throw pillows and rugs to add a new dimension to your home. Stream your favorite music throughout your home to delight your sense of sound. Finally, treat your sense of taste with bowls of your favorite indulgence, such as fresh berries or small candies, scattered throughout your home.

Purge

Usually, less is more. It may be hard to enjoy your home if it’s too cluttered, so make a conscious effort to let go of any knick-knacks around your home that aren’t essential. If you have a collection of items that you like to show, display a few of them at a time and switch them out every few months. This will keep your eye for getting trained on seeing them every day and allow you to enjoy and appreciate them more.

Why 2576 Hopkins Avenue in Redwood City is a diamond in the rough and worth a look!

UNADJUSTEDNONRAW_thumb_2d1bc

I spent last Saturday hosting 2576 Hopkins in Redwood City and let me tell you – I fell in love with this house.  It’s not a superficial love – like an easy-on-the-eyes celebrity – it’s a whole ‘nother level of appreciation.  It goes beyond skin deep.  What I love about this home is its potential.

I don’t want to offend anyone’s personal taste – so I will just reiterate some of the feedback from my Open House.  Buyers would walk in and instantly dislike the bathrooms.  Yes they are dated.  They were all the rage when they were installed – but now they are too “vintage”.  Not the quirky vintage mind you – just – well – as one buyer said – old!  I get it – I get it.  This house has not been overhauled… yet.

I think the one thing new buyers forget is that a house is a house and it doesn’t become a home the second you buy it – it becomes a home when you make it your own.  Adding your personal touches, changing things to your liking, remodeling, updating, painting, – removing the fixtures of yesteryear and adding fresh touches.  That’s the ticket – that’s why you buy a house!  The potential it has! 

So allow me to get the negative out of the way – I’m not going to sugar coat this – this home is dated.  It has some modern touches, added by various owners through the years, but overall the home is older.  It’s not the type of home you envision when writing a nearly 2 million dollar check.  But it is the type of home you do so in the Silicon Valley for various reason that I can’t wait to discuss.  But first, to address the elephant in the room – the location is not ideal for a family with small children – there will be no riding their bikes in street.  Hopkins and that particular intersection is busy.  However, there is so much more to this house than just the street.

You walk into a formal entry, a very large, traditional living room with insert fireplace is situated on the left, with a picture window overlooking the landscaped front yard.  The drapes are new and are remote operated – pretty nifty!  To the right, the formal dining room, with another window overlooking the front garden and French Double Doors that lead to the updated kitchen.  I saw updated because it is not the original kitchen.  The gray quartz counter tops are lovely with a little sparkle, picking up the stainless steel appliances – a gas oven range, dishwasher, trash compactor and refrigerator.  The enormous skylight floods the kitchen with natural light – a wonderful feature. 

Turning right from the kitchen will take you to the oversized two car garage with washer and dryer and forced air – AC and heat!  Turning left will take you to the family room.  A huge space with fireplace, three picture windows and sliders to the backyard where the soothing sound of the waterfall will greet you.  That makes TWO living areas and that’s just the first floor.  TWO LIVING AREAS!  Rounding out the rest of first floor are three bedrooms and two baths, including the original master suite with backyard access.  Yes, the bathrooms need remodeling, yes the carpet and flooring could use some updating.  Or better yet – if you have the budget, the whole first floor could benefit from some universal flooring, tying all the spaces together.   To be real, the kitchen is doable and a buyer could live it for a spell before remodeling it completely. 

But that’s just the first floor.  Lets head upstairs to a THRID LIVING AREA – an open air family room with sliders to the upstairs balcony.  This second floor space is HUGE!  (If you watched my Instagram Virtual Open House video – HUGE was my most utilized word – because this home at 3075 SF is just that – H U G E !)  This space would make a great master suite retreat, office or playroom where toys would be out of sight from the front door.  Great light, several windows and its own upstairs bath!

But wait – there is more! 

The new master suite is tucked upstairs with another HUGE bedroom with spacious walk-in closet, private bath with sunken jetted tub, dual sinks and stall shower.

What really made me love this house was the space.  THREE LIVING AREAS, 4 bedrooms with 4 baths.  I am day dreaming of some amazing holiday parties, birthday parties, any excuse for a party.  Even relaxing evenings in the tub, listening to the waterfall and forgetting your troubles away.  A home this size will affront that type of privacy.  Each member having their own space to retreat and re-energize. 

I wish I could show you what this house could be.  What I see in my mind.  It’s not a house to buy to flip.  It is a house to live in and slowly remodel while building the life of your dreams and equity to boot.  There are several, fixed or news homes in the area pushing $3million – so there is room for equity growth in this home – I just need to find the right buyer who can appreciate all 2576 Hopkins Avenues has to offer.

If you would like a private showing, bring your contractor and interior decorate – I’d love to show it to you.  Contact The Caton Team at any time.

Real Estate Market Update

Data is priceless and Real Estate Data is my bread and butter.  I thought I’d share these links, provided by Aculist which analyzes real estate data for the five MLSListings counties in Silicon Valley and the coastal regions and publishes a set of Market Data Reports.

Below are the links for the July 2019 Market Data Reports:

 

Determining when the best time to buy or sell can be overwhelming – even with all the data at your fingers tips – that is why The Caton Team believes in sitting down and getting to know your needs, your goals, your timeline in order to help you decide what course of action is best for you.  Sometimes getting on the market fast is more important than remodeling, sometimes taking the time to take care of cosmetic issues out weighs the wait.  When buying, sometimes striking while the iron is hot is the best.  Sometimes waiting for the frenzy to wind down would be better.  No matter what direction you need to take – The Caton Team is here to help guide you.  Contact us anytime, we’re happy to be of service.  With 35+ years of combined, local Real Estate experience – you rely on us.

Real Eats – Amazing Wok, San Carlos

REAL EATS – The beat on where to eat! Hello! Thank you for reading REAL EATS, where my passion for Real Estate and food meet.  On our next adventure we visit….

Amazing Wok – In San Carlos

My hubby and I have enjoyed Amazing Wok since we started dating in 1998.  The place has changed a lot over the years and when the original owners sold it – we were a bit worried our favorite Chinese Food spot would change.  I am happy to report – Amazing Wok is still as delicious as ever.  Their potstickers are so good.  We enjoy popping over for lunch and the addition of a small salad was a nice surprise.  We’ve tried about every dish and they are all so delicious.  We head over when we want something spicy and savory and they serve it up hot and with a smile.  THANK YOU for keeping a good thing going!
