Expanding Outdoor Living Space Adds Value To Your Home

| YourAtHomeNow.com


homefront

(BPT) - Even during a challenging economy, the outdoor living trend remains popular as homeowners seek to add lasting value and functional living space under the sky and stars. Whether it’s a do-it-yourself patio or a professionally installed outdoor kitchen, the beauty, usefulness, value and ease of maintenance in outdoor living space is limitless. Extending living space outdoors is as old as time itself. “Creating an outdoor room is a natural extension of your indoor living space,” says landscape architect John Johnson of Burnsville, Minn. “By creating a space in the open air and adding elements like fireplaces, pergolas, water features and greenery, you get a very different feel. People want and need that connection to the outdoors.” Adding value Without erecting the traditional four walls and roof, outdoor living space can be easily added to large, small, twin or town homes. Enhancing an outdoor space with hardscapes adds value and can be adapted for multiple uses. “Homeowners continue to embrace the trend of maximizing outdoor living space, whether it’s an outdoor kitchen or patio living room with a fire pit,” says Lonny Sekeres, a landscape designer with Villa Landscapes in Oakdale, Minn. “Real estate ex-

perts say that for every dollar you invest in landscaping projects, you could see up to a $2 return when you sell your home.” Do-it-yourselfers will find easy-to-install, maintenance-free pavers and segmental retaining wall systems are budget-friendly for patios, walkways, courtyards, raised gardens, fire features and wall projects. New construction should include plans for exterior hardscapes, and remodels can benefit from the advice of designbuild professionals or experts from a landscape supplies retailer, says Sekeres.“There are so many solutions to fit any budget and need,” says Sekeres. “Products like Willow Creek permeable pavers allow rainwater drainage if needed, and retaining walls come in colors that complement any environment.” Al fresco living As a natural extension of the home’s ground floor, a patio expands a family’s living and entertaining space significantly. It provides a perfect gathering spot for guests and family who will be drawn from indoor dining areas to this enticing space. A popular trend is to expand kitchen space with outdoor grilling areas, stone fireplaces for cooking wood-fired pizza, or stone counters around a grill for food preparation. “Because the kitchen Continued on page 10 April 2013 |

is typically the customary gathering place in the home, it’s a natural extension for family and entertaining guests,” Sekeres says. Warming accents

A fire feature such as a fireplace, pit, table, pot or ring creates an inviting outdoor focal point as well as a functional spot for entertaining, says Sekeres. A half-circle seat wall or outdoor furniture around a fire pit or table creates a cozy nook, and adding a grill, pub set, chaise or settee can transform a patio into a lounge for gatherings well into the evening and late in the season. A newer trend is the green or living wall, says Sekeres. Products like the VERSA-Green Plantable Retaining Wall System from VERSA-LOK lets do-it-yourselfers and professional installers alike easily add drama and beauty to retaining walls. “A living wall planted with herbs near an outdoor grill or a landscaped wall of flowers is an eye-catching, eco-friendly and unique use of retaining walls,” says Sekeres. Adding ambiance Pathways created with pavers, stepping stones and permeable pavers can join both back and front outdoor living spaces. “New homes and older homes make good use of the longstanding porch design,” says Sekeres. “It’s easy to create a paver walkway link10 | YourAtHomeNow.com

ing the front and back or an outdoor kitchen to a lounge area.” Lighting installed within steps and along paths can also add a unified ambiance to a home’s hardscape. Adding decor such as pergolas, trellises and arbors covered with natural materials like bamboo or fiber screens is great solutions for privacy, shade or continuity of design. “There’s no limit to the hundreds of ideas to enhance your yard,” says Sekeres. “Many products are easy for the do-it-yourselfer with manufacturer instructions, seminars and other resources. Talk to a landscape professional, visit a home and garden show and landscape supply stores, or search the Internet for inspiration. Take advantage of the outside to easily expand your living space.”

A Simple 12-month Lawn-care Plan For 2013

(BPT) - You may think having golf-course green grass requires hours of work each day, but if you want the best lawn on the block, it’s as easy as coming up with a plan. The secret? When it comes to lawn maintenance, it’s never too early to prepare your course of action. Starting now and focusing on specific to-do’s each month ensures you’ll have grass you can be proud of all year long.

January - Generally a month that requires little lawn maintenance, January is a great opportunity to get your lawn mower prepped and ready for spring’s punctual arrival. Take some time to get your mower’s blades sharpened and oil up the engine; your lawn will reap the benefits of a finely tuned mower when grass cutting season arrives. February - Now that we’re on spring’s doorstep, you’ll want to get your lawn ready for the end of its winter dormancy.

July - Try to avoid mowing or watering your lawn during peak temperature hours. Performing either of these activities when it’s sunny and hot can actually “sunburn” the grass and add additional stress to your lawn. The best time to mow and water your lawn is during the cool of the morning or evening. August - Summer activities and hot, dry conditions can compact the soil in your yard. August is a great month to aerate your lawn, loosening the soil and creating good conditions for fall maintenance.

Curb Appeal: Staging for Streetview

Curb appeal today means Web appeal, because if a house doesn’t look good online, it won’t attract all the buyers it could. By Robert Freedman

Then ask yourself what could be done to show off the property’s best features. For example, is your listing dwarfed by overgrown bushes and trees? Simply trimming the greenery can make the home appear larger, says Barb Schwarz, president and founder of the International Association of Home Staging Professionals and a real estate licensee in La Quinta, Calif. We photographed a middle-of-the-road house in Alexandria, Va., and asked Schwarz and Camp for their ideas on how to make the house really pop online. To get a feel for the transformation, we’ve illustrated some of the changes they recommended. Unless otherwise noted, each of the changes can typically be made for less than $1,000. 18 | YourAtHomeNow.com

Paint the steps dark green and the railing white, remove the white storm door, and install a brass kick door plate along the bottom of the door to give the entry a more elegant look.

Fertilize the entire yard to make the grass greener, and trim all lawn edges. Drastically trim back the large bushes on the left and right sides of the house so that they’re not covering the front windows. Trim each to about six feet wide and about 15 feet tall. They should be no higher than the first roof. Replace the house numbers above the door with much larger black numbers to the left of the door to add drama. Replace the lantern light to the right of the door with a much larger light that’s black. Up to $5,000: Add a second lantern light to the other side of the door for symmetry.

Q

Questions:

about Charlotte area real estate market

Q:

I am a first time home buyer and find the whole house hunting process overwhelming. Any suggestions for making it less stressful?

A:

Whether you are a first time home buyer or a fifth time home buyer, the process can seem to be quite overpowering and frustrating. It is very important for you to approach this undertaking with organization and understanding. As soon as possible, speak with a lender (your bank is a good place to start) in order to determine your financial perimeters for your home purchase. Your lender will provide you with a prequalification letter that will confirm your ability to purchase a home. One of the best ways to avoid potential stress during this process is to have a clear focus of your objective. To do that, you must make some crucial decisions beforehand involving desired location and distance perimeters to settings that are important to your everyday life such as work, school, social events, shopping etc. Location and convenience can be crucial to your home happiness and well being. Once the distance boundaries have been established, you will need to determine what type of home works best for your life style, single family or condo/ townhome, and in what kind of neighborhood you want to live , one with amenities such recreational facilities or one with no amenities? Are there neighborhood restrictions that would limit your activities? Do you prefer a ranch style home (single

&A

with Jo

level), 2 story, multi-level, basement? What about the age of the home? Do you prefer that new home/new neighborhood look, or do you prefer a more established, mature landscaping and home style? The age will determine whether the style of the home is traditional or more transitional. What about the exterior? Brick, vinyl, stone, wood? Make a list of what you feel is important in a home such as the number of bedrooms, bathrooms, location of the master bedroom (main level or upstairs?); size of the yard and view from the yard ie green space, trees, other houses); location within the neighborhood (cul de sac, close to pool?); must have features such as formal areas, office, bonus/rec room, granite counter tops, stainless appliances, hardwood floors, fireplaces, outdoor living areas, spa tubs... What is an absolute must, and what is a “can live without�? Expect to compromise. No home will be 100% perfect. As you can see, you must devote a lot of deliberation and planning to what might well be the most important financial decision and investment you will ever make. Otherwise you might make a decision that will prove to be costly and depressing. You must have pre-established guidelines of type of location, home, neighborhood, amenities, and home features that work best for your life style. If you approach the home buying process with an organized plan of attack, you will find that you will accomplish that objective, enjoy the process, and be confident that the home that you ultimately choose will be the right home for you! Happy House Hunting!

Set Yourself Up For The Perfect Season Of Outdoor Entertaining

(BPT) - As temperatures warm, many of us can’t wait to get outside and rediscover the joys of our outdoor spaces. One of the best ways to ensure the enjoyment of your space all season long is with some spring cleaning and upkeep of your yard and outdoor living spaces. There are a few spring cleaning projects that benefit every homeowner and make spaces much more inviting for the hours you’ll spend enjoying the summer sun. The home improvement experts at Lowe’s offer the following checklist of improvements that will have your outdoor space looking great in no time: * Take the time to prune. Before the season heats up and the first leaves start to appear, it’s the perfect time to shape up your trees and shrubs. Doing so before the growing season is less

stressful for your plants, easier to clean up and will promote the type of growth you envision to keep your greenery looking great all season. Make sure your tools are sharp, as cleaner cuts are continued on page 33 April 2013 | 31

easier on plants. The new Fiskars DuraSharp pruners and loppers feature fully hardened steel blades making cutting and pruning that much easier. You can find these at Lowe’s. * Clean up leftover leaves. While you probably spent much of the fall raking and mulching fallen leaves, stragglers collect throughout winter, clogging gutters and drains. In addition to cleaning areas of your yard blanketed with leaves, rake your lawn to rid it of matted leaves that can inhibit healthy growth. Break these chores into separate days so you don’t have to do it all at once. Using a blower also helps you clean up your yard in short order.

time to see if you need to re-seal it. If you drizzle water on your deck boards and it beads up, your seal is still effective. If not, it’s time to apply another coat of sealant. Pleasant spring days are ideal for re-sealing and staining and once you’re done, you can enjoy the whole season without worry. * Design your dream outdoor room. Once you’ve cleaned up your space, you might realize there’s more that could be done to enhance it. Spring is the perfect time to consider a new patio set, or even a patio extension using decorative pavers. Dress up existing patio furniture by staining wood furniture or buying fresh new

Spring is an exciting time to get back outside and take care of some of the improvements you’ve been dreaming of all winter.

* Bring out the power washer. Winter tends to leave its mark, and the exterior of your house, deck, sidewalks and driveway can all show grime once spring rolls around. A pressure washer is a convenient way to clean these surfaces. The Generac OneWash gas pressure washer makes this easy for homeowners as it can be conveniently wheeled around the outside of your home to meet all your pressure-washing needs.

Decorating

TRENDZ Outdoor Lighting

Glowing Shell Arrangement Fill a shallow tray with sand, arrange pairs of your prettiest specimens, and place a votive candle at the center of each pair (leaving room for the flames to flicker safely). Set the tray on a low table, and enjoy a quiet drink on the patio.

Candle Chandeliers Quilted jam jars holding votive candles hang from a grapecovered arbor. As night falls, crystals wired to the bottoms of the jars will cast refracted candlelight onto the stucco walls. Vellum Shields Cocktails at sundown are more memorable when you supplement the waning daylight with Asian-inspired lanterns. These tabletop versions consist of colorful sheets of vellum paper sandwiching tall votive candles in glass holders; chopsticks hold the paper in place. 34 | YourAtHomeNow.com

Pillar candles are best for this project; not only are they pretty, but their weight will further anchor the interior vase.

DID YOU KNOW?

Union County was established in 1842 when it was formed from both Anson and Mecklenburg Counties. There was some disagreement on the name for the new county between political parties. Depending on the point of view, the county should be named Clay or Jackson. Its name was a compromise between Whigs, who wanted to name the new county for Henry Clay, and Democrats, who wanted to name it for Andrew Jackson. Later both Clay County and Jackson County were used for new counties in the state. April 2013 | 69

At Home in Lake Norman with Frances Dawson A Quickly Changing Market! I recall how quickly a strong real estate market ground to a halt, nearly five years ago. Now I am watching it spring to life just as dramatically. I’d like to show you a few ways to measure the upswing. One marker that tells us how healthy a market is performing, is the Months Supply of Inventory. Take the number of SOLD properties in a specific neighborhood, town or community during a particular period — 1, 3 or 6 months for instance — and divide by the time frame you’re using (12 sold homes during a 3 month period tells you that, on average, 4 homes sell each month). If you currently have 20 active properties in that same community you have approximately 5 months supply of homes. Four to five months supply is considered a balanced (i.e. healthy) market. In May of 2009, the Lake Norman area had a 28.5 months supply of inventory. Nine months later, the Months Supply of Inventory was 20.3 and February 2012 still measured over 13 months inventory of homes for sale. The Months Supply of Inventory says, in essence, it will take X number of days to sell the current inventory, based on the current sales rate. In February 2013 the numbers had shrunk to 7.4 Months Supply of Inventory—a dramatic improvement. You can see the same hopeful signs in the number of homes for sale. In February 2011 there were 1,429 homes for sale in the Lake Norman area. Two years later in February 2013 there were 960 homes for sale. While some sellers gave up during the difficult years, the dramatic switch seems rooted in Buyers coming back with a vengeance. Personally, in the last two

months, I’ve had two new listings go under contract in less than a week. Both properties had multiple offers to boot and my sellers garnered even a bit more money than they had anticipated. If you’re a potential Buyer, it is critical that you enter the market with everything you need to put together a strong offer. Get your pre-approval letter, review the purchase documents, study the market to know a good deal when you see one. If you see a property you like, don’t hesitate to act. Well priced properties that are in good shape sell in hours, literally. I showed a property that had been on the market for less than 24 hours. Before the sun had set, the listing agent had received 3 offers and the home was under contract by the next morning. If you are a potential Seller— you need to be savvy. Repair any known defects, de-clutter, clean and price your home appropriately. It is not the time to be greedy—while I have seen some homes sell above the asking price, we are talking hundreds of dollars not, tens of thousands. Taking the time to prepare your home and educate yourself, could put you in the position to consider multiple offers as well. If you considered selling your home in 2012 and didn’t like the numbers, you may want to reconsider. Inventory of available homes is low, interest rates are low and buyers have waited long enough! Whether you are considering the sale or purchase of a Lake Norman property, I welcome the opportunity to discuss your options, and to partner with you in achieving your real estate goals.
