The housing market is stagnating right now and real estate brokers would have potential buyers believe that there is no better time than the present to buy a home. It is true, prices are down and mortgage rates are at all-time lows.

Unfortunately for the real estate brokers, many clients are not persuaded by that logic. Instead, in increasing numbers, they are choosing to rent instead of buy — unconvinced that the housing market has yet hit bottom. Would be buyers also understand that unless you plan to stay in your home for more than 10 years, buying a home may not be the right investment for everyone.

With apartments in Lexington Park, MD , located near the Patuxent River Naval Air Station and St. Mary’s College, offering apartment amenities that can’t be found in homes, renting is a great option for many. There is also a broad mix of tenants at Abberly Crest Apartment homes: young single residents and families and empty-nesters that no longer have homeownership on their wish list.

At our apartments in Lexington Park, MD the fall season is about to start. Cooler weather is about to cause us to spend more time indoors. Do you want to do some fall redecorating in your apartment home? Here are some apartment decorating ideas that will not break the bank.

Fresh paint-  For minimal money you can dramatically change any room’s appearance with paint and a few basic supplies. Pulling a vibrant color from a room’s patterned upholstery or rug and putting it on the walls can have a dramatic effect.

Throw rugs -  Now is the time to think about what the floors will feel like on chilly mornings. Roll up or throw down a rug as the seasons change. A soft area rug could really pull all the colors together in a room, and reduce echoes from hardwoods and tile.
 
Add Fabric -  Fabric can really brighten up a one-,  two-, or three bedroom apartment.  Plain sofas can be livened up with patterned pillows. New place mats are a great way to change the presentation of a meal. Pair a contrasting color or a pattern with plain plates. Dining room chairs or bar stools can be recovered for a whole new look.

Add photos to the wall -  Use family photos and mismatched frames to fill a blank wall space in a family room or hallway. Lay them out on the floor and make a grid. Play with the design until it feels balanced and looks good. If you have trouble following the pattern, make paper bag cut-outs of the same pictures and tape them to the wall for the placement of the frames.

New Hand Towels - New towels and a bath mat in can give your bathroom a whole  new look.

Have fun making some colorful changes in your apartment homes at Abberly Crest.
