			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> Your bathroom may not be the room where people spend the most time in your house, but it is a necessity. Bathrooms with good design and excellent can make your morning routine faster and tie into the decor for the rest of your house. Bathroom design ideas can help you as you remodel a small bathroom or create themed bathroom designs.</p>
<p>There are important features to consider for bathrooms of any size or style. First, the layout is important. Placing faucets, toilets, and showers near pipes is obviously a necessity, but small features can make a big difference. For example, if the toilet is placed between the sink and tub, there may be no place to add a toilet paper holder. Consideration to these small details can make a big difference for bathroom usability. Similarly, new regulations call for water efficient fixtures, and installing these will also save you money in the long run. Finally, good lighting can make the bathroom much nicer when getting ready to go out for the day. Small bathroom design can be particularly tricky in all these respects because of the tight space in which everything must fit perfectly.</p>
<p>When it comes down to aesthetics, bathrooms offer more freedom than many other places in the house. From contemporary bathrooms to themed whimsical designs, there are fixtures, cabinets, lighting, and accessories to make it work. Salt Lake City residents will find great help in remodeling from professionals like Bath Crest, a SLC fixture for 30 years.</p>
<p>Bathroom design can be fun and creative. There are many factors to take into account to design a good, usable space, and a professional can help.</p>
<p>1. Bathroom design can be fun and creative.</p>
<p>2. When remodeling or designing your bathroom, it is important to consider the layout, lighting, and design so the room will be usable and fit the decor of your home.</p>
<p>3. Water-efficient bathroom fixtures and toilets are now common and often required by code. Looking into this can save you money and water in the long run.</p>
<p>4. Small bathrooms often require extra attention to detail because of the limited space available for laying out and personalizing the space.</p>
<p>5. A professional can offer suggestions for contemporary or themed bathroom designs.</p>
<p>6. Guests will almost always see your bathroom, so it is important to consider how it fits in with the design of the rest of the house.</p>
<p>The bathroom is one of the most necessary rooms in your house. When remodeling or designing a bathroom, it is important to consider many factors, including layout, lighting, and design. We discuss some of these features and the bathroom design ideas that you might want to discuss with a professional. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Second home sales have been increasing over the last few years with more people becoming second home owners. In 2005 alone, 40 percent of the homes sold were second homes. Demographics, all time low mortgage rates, and healthy rise in home prices have contributed to this development in the second home market. Besides these, a major factor that has helped augment the buying and selling of second homes is the real estate professional.</p>
<p>&#13;The National Association of Realtors conducted research on the profile of second-home owners in 2006. According to the NAR report entitled &#8217;2006 Profile of Second-Home Owners&#8217;, a majority of second home sales transactions are conducted using the services of real estate agents.</p>
<p>&#13;The statistics are remarkable; 64 % of vacation home buyers purchased their home using the services of a real estate agent by the end of 2005 &#8211; a marked increase from less than 50 % of vacation-home buyers in 2003. Also, 65 % of investment-home buyers purchased their home with the help of a real estate agent &#8211; an increase from 53 % of pre-2003. In comparison, only 14 % of vacation-home buyers and 7 % of investment-home buyers purchased directly from builders from 2003 to 2005.</p>
<p>&#13;The growing role of the real estate professional is evident from the following figures:</p>
<p>&#13;1. Of vacation home sales made, 71 % of them were second homes and 74 % of the sales were made using the services of a real estate agent.</p>
<p>&#13;2. Of the investment properties sold, 85 % of them were previously owned and 62 % of the sales were made using the services of a real estate agent.</p>
<p>&#13;The use of real estate agents in second home sales transactions varied according to the home&#8217; location.</p>
<p>&#13;1. Buyers used a real estate agent more frequently while purchasing a vacation home located in a suburb/subdivision (56 %) or a rural area (57 %) than for homes in other locations.</p>
<p>&#13;2. About 66 % of buyers who purchased an investment property in an urban/central city area or in a suburb/subdivision, used the services of a real estate agent more frequently than those who purchased a home in other locations.</p>
<p>&#13;Real estate professionals continue to be the first source of information to second-home buyers (38 % of vacation-home buyers and 34 % of investment-home buyers). The real estate professional also plays a major role when second-home owners plan to buy additional properties. If you are thinking of buying a second home or vacation home, seek out the services of a real estate agent to guide you through your next home purchase.</p>
<p>&#13;1. The percentage of second home owners who are more likely to use a real estate agent in their next home purchase is quite high. Among vacation-home owners it is 79 % and investment-home owners 73 %.</p>
<p>&#13;2. Among second home owners, 65 % of vacation-home owners and 64% of investment-property owners are more likely to use a real estate agent in their next home sales.</p>
<p>&#13;Given these statistics, it is no wonder that the real estate agent plays a pivotal role in helping people buy and sell second homes. So whether you are a second-home buyer or seller, enlist the services of an agent for a smooth, hassle free real estate transaction.</p>
