| South Padre Island Real Estate Tips |
| Using Color to Revamp the Appearance of Your Condo, Town Home, or Single Family Home (whether located Beach front, Bay front, Channel front, at a Golf Course or areas in between!) A new look to your residence can be a rejuvenating change that will pay off in the future! Colors can be used to express yourself, freshen up an old image, and increase the value of your home. The following are some ideas to consider: Go Green: Color choice can affect the energy efficiency of your home. Darker colors absorb sun and therefore warm the place, while lighter colors reflect the sun's rays, keeping the home cooler. This is an important consideration depending on the amount of sunlight your home is exposed to on a certain day. Think South Padre Island...the Island has plenty of sunshine almost year round! Get Back to Nature: Inspiration can be found by observing your surroundings. There are certain colors and hues that go with living at the Beach. Think shades of blue, green, aquas, with added touches of yellow (for that South Padre Island sunshine!) and throw in accent colors of maybe orange or pink....there is a rainbow of colors to choose from that are associated with the Beach. Look Up: The roof accounts for roughly 40% of the exterior appearance of a home, so it is important to consider roofing shingles. Shingles are available in a wide range of dynamic color options and textures to match your South Padre Island home's unique style. Go Back to History: If your living space has a bit of history that you can play upon, make that a focal point. Collect old pictures so that you can update it with historical accurateness. For instance, Sea Turtle, Inc. began in the home of Ila Loetscher. If that residence ever become available for sale, what a unique opportunity would exist!
