Lake Saint Louis: DID YOU KNOW???
Today’s spotlight is on our office neighborhood: Lake Saint Louis, Missouri. What an amazing town. 2 man made lakes, the 10 mile blvd, gorgeous parks, plenty of shopping and all the El Maguey you can eat :). Our DID YOU KNOW for today is all about Lake Saint Louis and the community association. In Lake Saint Louis, you are either in the CA or not in the CA. The CA has golf, tennis, a public swimming pool, exercise facility and access to the two lakes via the various marinas. THIS YEAR, the CA raised their yearly fees from $450 to $600. If you are buying a new home at all in the CA, your price will be raised to the $600. If you are already living in the CA, your price remains at the original $450 as long as you stay in the home. If you are in the CA, but decide you need to up or downsize and would still like to live in the CA, your fees will raise when you move. Now you know!
We’ve had several clients lately ask about the difference between a 15 yr loan versus a 30 yr loan. While we are not experts in this area (want even more info? Contact your loyal lender), we found this chart a perfect tool to help explain the main differences! Pretty interesting to think about! See below :). Have a Sunshine day everyone!
In honor of Fat Tuesday, we thought we’d share an informative link that shows elements of an updated kitchen. With our experience, we’ve learned that when people are looking to buy a home the most important rooms for most are the kitchen and the master bathroom. This means it is important for sellers too, because if you want your home to sell fast, you can do these simple things to update your kitchen and essentially have your home show better!
Happy Fat Tuesday everyone :). Have a Sunshine day!
