Trend Alert: Cement Tiles

By Micah Stovall | Published: May 1, 2016

The new, hot way to express this trend is underfoot, with colorful, intricately patterned cement tiles that make a statement in any space.

It seems only yesterday that the design world and blogosphere were prophesying the now ubiquitous reign of white subway tile. Over the course of the last several years, those shiny, 3×6 rectangles have popped up everywhere, from the backsplashes of trendy kitchens to the walls of chic hotel bathrooms. These days, however, designers and architects seem to have moved onto an altogether different form of surface covering. With origins in the Middle East and North African countries like Morocco, cement tiles bring interest to whatever surface they touch. “These tiles… are both contemporary and vintage and when mixed with m

Ask the Experts: The Stovall Team

By Micah Stovall | Published: April 24, 2016

Q: When is the right time to begin the move process for my elderly parents?

A: Often, concerned family members question the timing process to begin assisting their elderly parents with a move. It is never too early to begin the psychological process. While the actual move may be months or sometimes years away, the emotional preparation begins much earlier. Individuals and their support family should explore all of the next phase options prior to the actual implementation. Relevant questions include:

Where is the next home going to be?
How much will it cost? What is actually affordable?
What is the current home worth?
What is involved in putting it on the market?
Do repairs or maintenance need to be done?
Most importantly, when is the appropriate time to make the move?

In many cases, these questions need to be explored before any action can be taken. A well thought-out plan and goals will ease the transition process. With careful planning and consulting with family, friends, lawyers, financial advisors and Stovall Team, positive steps can be taken. In a crisis or when sellers are not motivated, the wrong decisions can be made about house pricing, timing, necessary preparation and the logistics of the sale.

For seniors and their families, the decision-making may not be a smooth or easy process. In order to understand the full process, it is helpful to get a Home Assessment from Stovall Team. We are here to help the homeowner with their decision-making at the beginning stages of the move.

Contact Stovall Team today. Working with The Stovall Team gives you the edge you need in this highly competitive real estate market place. Call Micah at 714.343.9294 or Steve at 714.393.5377 for a complementary market evaluation today.

Make Your Current Home Work For the Future

By Micah Stovall | Published: April 4, 2016

A recent study from The Hartford Center for Mature Market Excellence and the University of Southern California found that about 40 percent of baby boomers expect to remodel their homes in the future, but many haven’t factored aging and potential health issues into their plans.

Kerrie Kelly, a member of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and a Certified Aging in Place Specialist, has a handful of universal-design suggestions that will help people remain in their homes comfortably for many years to come. “A lot of these design elements become important,” says Kelly. “It’s not just a growing-old thing; there is an enjoying-your-lifestyle component as well.” Read on for ways to make your home safer and more comfortable now and in the future.

Aging-in-place design choices are gaining a higher profile as baby boomers become a larger segment of the population. According to AARP, the majority of older Americans want to stay in their homes permanently and live independently. This demographic change translates into demand for residential designs that anticipate changes in health, vision or mobility, and ensures that homes stay safe, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

Related to aging in place is “universal design,” which emphasizes accessibility for all, with no sacrifice in style. Components may be as simple as abundant lighting, lever-style door handles, well-located storage, chair-height toilets, slip-resistant flooring and open plans with plenty of circulation space. The most visible result of aging-in-place design is living space that simply “feels roomier and more open,” says Russ Glickman, whose Maryland company, Glickman Design/Build, specializes in accessible multigenerational and universal design homes.

Some home improvements made to accommodate a resident can be deducted from federal taxes as medical expenses; these may include widening doorways and halls, adding railings and grab bars, and lowering or modifying kitchen cabinets.
