Revealed: The States with the Highest Home Ownership Rates

April 13, 2023 No Comments

New study reveals the U.S. state with the highest home ownership rate.

• Maine has the highest home ownership rate of the U.S. at 33%.

• West Virginia and Vermont are second and third.

• California has the lowest homeownership rate of the country at 18%.

Maine is the state with the highest home ownership in the United States, a new study revealed. The study, conducted by Malibu real estate agents, analyzed Census data on housing units, owner occupied units, and the total population of each state to discover which of the 50 states plus have the highest and the lowest homeownership rate.

Maine Homeownership

Maine: The number of owner-occupied housing units totals 437,858.38. The state has a total population of 1,338,404 results with a home ownership rate of 32.71%.

West Virginia & Vermont Highest Homeownership Rates

Second and third on the list are West Virginia and Vermont, which have almost the same home ownership rate – West Virginia at 32.15% and Vermont at 32.11%.

This is despite the large disparity in population the two states register.

West Virginia’s population is 1,805,832 and the number of owner-occupied housing units is 580,539; while in Vermont the population amounts to 626,299. The number of owner-occupied housing units is 201,094, more than half the numbers of the former.

USA Homeownership Data

A spokesperson for Malibu real estate agents commented on the findings: “Among the states with the highest rate and those with the lowest rate, the values are very similar.

The values at the two poles of the list:

Maine on one side and California on the other have a drastic gap between them due to the population of California and the demographics of the state, which makes it more complicated for a large majority of the population to own a home.

5 Tips on How to Make your Home Cozy During the Winter Holidays

November 24, 2022 No Comments

How to Make your Home Cozy

The holiday season is around the corner. Pacific Palisades realtors collaborated with interior design experts Jaqueline Hamilton and Nicola Rodriguez to reveal tips on how to make your home cozy this Winter.

Candles and Scents

“Candles can change the atmosphere and ambience of a room instantly” says interior designer Jaqueline Hamilton.

“Not only the glow of a beautifully lit candle can cast a lovely feeling of coziness to a room but also the scent can do that too. Choosing a scented candle can create a gorgeous smell in a room and can evoke a feeling of warmth and wellbeing and bring back memories of past winters.”

Designer Rodriguez adds: “Adding a fragrant reed diffuser, oil/wax burner or plug-in gives the room a cozy feeling before you have even opened your eyes. Fragrances such as pine, cinnamon, spiced apple, clove, mulled wine and woody aromas are a must for this season!”

Garlands and Accessories

“Using Christmas accessories such as bowls of pinecones or winter floral arrangements is a great way to make your room inviting and cozy” says designer Rodriguez. Whether it be faux foliage or fresh that you have gathered from the garden, this is a wonderful way to bring texture and the outside in to your living area” adds designer Hamilton.

“Having a fireplace is not necessary, as garlands can be placed on a sideboard or in the form of a wreath on a wall. Adding twinkling lights is another idea to create another lovely mood and display.”

Lighting

Jacqueline explains: “A room should have at least one or two lamps depending on the size of it. During the holiday season, mood lighting is so important and can soften a room, as using the main pendant light in the room can at times be too strong.”

According to designer Rodriguez, a good way to make a home cozy is merging mood lighting to the use of candlelight. This can really help creating that snug feel and atmosphere. It also helps cutting the cost of electricity, which is a plus in our current financial crisis.

Rugs, Blankets and Cushions

“Rugs are such a focal point in any room” says designer Hamilton.

“Rugs are not only for wooden or hard floors, but for carpets too. The shaggier and softer the rugs, the cozier they will make a home feel. They also help to keep the heat in during cold winter afternoons.” adds designer Nicola Rodriguez.

“Adding cushions, throws and blankets on your sofas as well as lined heavy curtains also add that cozy feel to a room. Not only do the blankets keep you snug and warm but by adding textures such as knit, sheepskin, chenille and velvet also combine the cozy look and feel.”

Paint Colors

According to designer Hamilton, pastel colours can look cold and harsher in the winter months and one way of warming up a room can be using a warm dramatic paint color. She recommends colors that are taken from nature in the autumn months, such as rich reds, terracotta and warm mustards, which can all bring a depth and coziness to a room.

Designer Rodriguez adds “If you have areas in your room that look bare, invest in a statement chair or sofa and create a cozy corner by adding a soft lamp on a small side table. This will help maximize your home space and create a welcoming atmosphere.”

A spokesperson for Pacific Palisades realtors comments:

“With the holiday seasons around the corner, people tend to spend most of their time indoors enjoying the warmth and comfort of their homes. Therefore, we want to create an environment where we can relax and feel cozy, away from the harsh weather. Whether it is an old family home or a newly purchased one, decorating your home for the holidays can be a joyful individual or group activity to set the mood for the winter months ahead.”

[Study] Half of Americans Say Their Dream Home is “Unattainable”

November 11, 2022 No Comments

Home ownership across generations by the numbers

While the real estate market seems to be cooling a bit, skyrocketing mortgage rates are driving affordability to the lowest level since the 1980s. Americans are taking notice and realizing their dream home may never be in the cards. I wanted to make sure you saw the report I sent last week on American’s dream homes.

More than 1,000 Americans across each generation were surveyed. The study found 90% believe owning a home is part of the American dream but 51% say it isn’t attainable.

Still, renters are hopeful they will get into a home soon. The report includes generational insights on what people are looking for in their ideal home and how many wish to own a vacation home.

If you close your eyes and picture your dream home, does it look similar to where you’re currently living?

For the overwhelming majority, that dream home is just a dream.

IPX1031 surveyed more than 1,000 Americans across each generation about their dream homes. 94% said they are not currently living in their dream home, with the top reason being they cannot afford it.

What would those dream homes look like? Where are the dream homes located? How much would the dream homes cost?

The study found…
– Modern was the top architecture and interior design style
– 57% prefer new construction over renovating a home
– 35% want four beds
– 38% want 3 baths

The most desired dream home features…
1. A view
2. Big backyard
3. A Large family room
4. Front porch

The top luxury amenities people are looking for are land and privacy (59%), a hobby room (48%), and a home theater (42%).

51% said their dream home is out of reach, with half of millennials estimating their dream home would cost between $500,000 to over a million dollars.

Take a look at the full report, which also includes generational insights on what people are looking for in their ideal home, how many renters plan to become homeowners in the next five years, and which generation wants to own a vacation home.

For unboxing of dream home features ( fridges, kitchen appliances, bathroom remodeling, or kitchen remodeling) or informational articles, email advertise@fromgirltogirl.com for pricing or requests.

Visit These 6 Great Cities for Some Self-Care Fun

August 3, 2022 No Comments

Self-care is important, but what if you don’t want to go see the sights you have already visited a dozen times? Consider visiting a beautiful, vacation-friendly city to practice self-care by giving yourself the opportunity to eat great food, meet new people, and see amazing things. Fromgirltogirl has some destination recommendations for your next self-care vacation.

Los Angeles

When it comes to the City of Angels, you have a plethora of fun self-care options. You can you take in miles of Pacific Coast beauty or visit Hollywood. The area is dotted with a number of spas and saunas. The list of entertainment venues and year-round activities are too long to list here, but if you find yourself saying “LA Dodgers here we go” every summer, it’s high time to take in a game, a great self-care outing with friends or family. Tickets do not have to break the bank; you can purchase tickets online at big-league discounts.

Dubai

Dubai could be the best self-care vacation destination if you like to see new things and meet new people. As a growing corporate and entertainment hub, Culture Trip notes that Dubai has lots to offer for people who like concerts, conventions, and luxurious resorts. It may be hot, but the resorts here will keep you cool and pampered 24/7, especially if you choose one of the resorts on the man-made islands that Dubai continues to grow with each year.

Seattle

The Evening Standard suggests going to Seattle for your self-care destination. As one of the most diverse and ecologically beautiful cities in the country, there’s no place better to unwind and relax than by checking out the Space Needle, hiking to the top of Mount Whitney, or visiting the beautiful Pacific Northwest beaches near this metropolitan hub.

If you love Seattle enough, you might even decide to stay here by renting or buying a new home. If you do this, use an online listing site with 3-D tours and criteria controls so you can narrow down your options and find apartments for rent in Seattle that are not too expensive (since Seattle is infamously pricey) with all the amenities, bedrooms, and bathrooms you could need.

Honolulu

Honolulu may be a great option for a vacation destination if you want to practice self-care by seeing new things and enjoying extravagant entertainment events. Check out the famous Kaka’ako area with its easy access to beaches and nature. You may even decide to stay.

Paris

Paris is arguably the best place for a self-care vacation. It’s luxury and elegance wrapped in a city. Check out the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, Notre Dame, more major landmarks and museums on your visit if you practice self-care by appreciating the world or seeing historic monuments. Do not forget to visit a few restaurants for some of the most famous French cuisine!

Should you decide to stay in Paris, remember that houses are not cheap. To cover the down payment for any property, you can take out a second mortgage on your current home or use a home equity loan.

Amsterdam

Lastly, maybe you should visit Amsterdam for your self-care vacation city. This historic and tourist-friendly city offers museums, interesting attractions like floating flower markets, and world-famous breweries that pour pure delight into pint-size glasses. You’ll also find several resorts here, many of which offer water-side rooms with windows that open up to spectacular views.

Self-Care Near Home

If these cities are far from home, You can enjoy self-care near home by using a vacation rental site to find a home, apartment, or resort near you to rent. Pick a vacation home or resort with sweet amenities or excellent views of nearby attractions for the best vacation experience.

When it comes to practicing self-care on vacation, the above five cities are perfect choices. Many of them may also be great spots to buy a home or move to in the future. Whatever you decide, enjoy a vacation in 2022.
