The Ultimate Guide for Your Spring Cleaning Routine

Springtime and spring cleaning go hand in hand, which means if your one for tradition you're gearing up to tackle the indoor and outdoor winter mess. The one concern homeowners all share is determining where in the home they should even begin.

Don't get overwhelmed. Completing just a few tasks is better than none. Turn to the Better Homes inspired checklist below, to keep you on track for this years spring cleaning routine. 

Windows. Washing windows is best performed on a cloudy day since liquid cleaner will dry too quickly if the sun is strong. 

Nooks & Crannies. You walk past baseboards and door frames all year long. Now is the time to check up on those unseen spaces and give them a good scrub. 

Carpets. Call in the experts for a professional deep-clean and some stain removal. Not only will this improve the appearance of your home, but the indoor air quality, as well. 

Under Furniture & Appliances. Lift up couches, coffee tables and chairs. There is plenty of dust and debris hiding where it can't usually be found. 

Furniture & Window Treatments. Upholstery cleaners and conditioners can make leather or suede cushions look like new. It's also a good idea to vacuum curtains and draperies with the removable attachment. 

Light Fixtures. Way up high is the perfect place for dust to settle. Find yourself an extendable duster to tackle hard to reach places. 

Wishing for a property that requires less maintenance right about now? Take a moment to check out Copper Square. This maintenance-free living community consists of townhomes and duplexes that homeowners can purchase. You enjoy the luxury of owning your own home and let someone else take care of the yard work.

Building Vs. Buying Your Home: And the Happy In-Between

While the larger portion of the real estate market is comprised of people who choose to buy existing homes, there is still that decent percentage that would prefer to build their own home. Are you one of them?

From the ability to custom-fit your design wants and needs to the peace of mind from knowing there are no hidden secrets in its construction, there are a handful of reasons home buyers choose to go this route.


The downside? You typically need to dish out a larger sum of money to complete your custom-built dream home. This major price difference is, in large part, due to the inability to tightly control costs on built-from-scratch homes.

Planned communities, however, can offer the perfect in-between. They allow you to choose from limited customization at a cost more in-line with an existing home purchase. Such options are made available to you in our design studio, where you can actually view the model parts you will be purchasing.

With that being said, do you believe that building, buying, or that happy in-between best suits you? Share your thoughts with Copper Square on our Facebook page.

Major Benefits of Owning a Townhome

If you prefer the investment in purchasing a home but the lack of maintenance requirements that come with renting an apartment, then a townhome may be the best of both worlds for you.

Copper Square, Townhome

Here's a quick breakdown of the many "pluses" you get to enjoy:

Safety and security. From gated entries to security professionals, even if you live alone in your townhome, safety does not need to be a concern. Plus, you have plenty of people to turn to in case of an emergency.

Amenities included. A townhome can provide you with those added amenities you might not be able to pay for on your own. From pools to fitness centers and social clubhouses, you're buying more than just your individual living space when you choose a townhome.

Maintenance-free. Not a DIY kind of guy? You don't have to be! Maintenance-free living communities take care of everything from cutting the grass to cleaning that pool you love to enjoy. What will you do with your spare time? Just enjoy it!

Affordable. Typically priced a bit lower than single-family homes, a townhome may better fit your budget, yet provide you with similar standards of living.

Planning for Your New Home Purchase: Finances & All

If you're in the market for a new home, the best place to start is your finances. Understanding where you are from a financial standpoint will directly relate to the kind of home you can afford and should be looking for.

Copper Square, Mortgage

Review your credit reports. The first question you should be asking yourself is "What is my credit score?" If you notice any errors or red flags on your credit report, get those patched up. A bank or lender can also tell you your score.

Boost your score. Just a few consecutive months paying every bill on time and repaying as much debt as possible can improve your score. Requesting an increased credit limit - but not using up that credit - can also help.

Start with a pre-approval. Your best bet is saving the house hunt for after you talk to a mortgage lender about pre-approval. They can then provide you with a pre-approval letter that allows sellers to confirm you are financially stable enough for a purchase.

Don't put your purchase in jeopardy. Don't go shopping for new appliances and furniture the minute you sign the dotted line. Lenders typically check your credit one last time to make sure your situation has not changed. To avoid confusion, hold off until all is set in stone to buy the "extras."

Now that your finances are all straightened out, are you ready to take an inside peak at what Copper Square has to offer? Visit our gallery »
