We Put The Real In Real Estate

Real Estate Section

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Hibernate! Vancouver Island is a destination for buyers year round with its mild weather and natural beauty. Here are 5 Great Reasons to LIST your Cowichan Valley home in the Fall. Greater number of serious buyers out looking: Eager buyers donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t care about the season. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good bet that those who are searching now are serious buyers ready to take action. Your home will be a *NEW LISTING* with fewer days on the market than other active listings. Less competition: There are fewer homes for sale and yours will have a better opportunity to shine. Seeing a home â&#x20AC;&#x153;performâ&#x20AC;? in less than ideal weather conditions appeals to buyers.

THE REAL TEAM

Fall staging: The Valley is beautiful in the Fall and well tended, cosy homes show very well. Take advantage of the cooler weather and the promise of coming holidays to create a warm atmosphere. Invite buyers in with holiday dĂŠcor, a crackling ďŹ re or freshly baked cookies. Right now is a great time to move: Consumer conďŹ dence and low interest rates are driving home sales but for now, the Valley market is balanced and affordable. Low interest rates translate into lower mortgage monthly payments which make it easier to afford more house for your money. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for a lifestyle change: Think about the reasons you want to sell. Is it worth waiting for the more conventional Spring market with the knowledge that housing market competition, interest rates and prices are ever changing? Moving on now and living the life you desire may be most important.

No matter what the time of year though, a successful sale really boils down to 3 things: smart marketing, condition and price.

Autumn means leaves are falling from trees and littering landscapes. Cleaning up leaves can be a time-consuming task, but it’s necessary to promote the health of lawns and other plants. Grass that is completely matted down with leaves can become starved for light and moisture, and lawns may even rot when forced to spend winter beneath fallen leaves. One eco-friendly timesaver is to shred leaves with a mower (a manual mower is preferable) and leave them as topdressing for the lawn. As long as the grass blades can be seen within the leaves, the lawn should be fine. Shredded leaves will decompose and add necessary nutrients and organic matter to the soil naturally. Leaves also can be used in annual flower and vegetable gardens to improve the

Check the roof for any missing shingles. In addition, look for spots where animals or insects may be able to gain entry into your home. Seal these areas and repair any leaks. This will make your home more efficient later on when winter hits its stride. Remove window air conditioners for the winter. If they can’t be removed, seal them with caulking or tape and cover them with an airtight, insulated jacket. If you have forced-air systems, move furniture away from the vents so that air can flow better around the home and keep it comfortable. Check weatherstripping around windows and doors and make the necessary adjustments. Installing additional insulation also can help reduce energy consumption. A few tips can help homeowners prepare for autumn in eco-friendly ways.

Maximize fall and winter energy savings with simple tips (MS) — By Scott McGillivray As temperatures decrease during the fall and winter months, energy usage and costs tend to climb. These five energy-saving tips for your home will ensure the comfort of your family and your wallet. 1. Adjust your thermostat. Lower the heat on your thermostat while you are away from home and before you go to bed. Better yet, invest in a programmable thermostat so you don’t have to give it a second thought. 2. Seal gaps around windows and doors. Cracks and gaps around windows and doors can let cold drafts into your home. Weatherstripping or caulking will seal these problem areas and keep your home warmer, without having to turn up the heat. 3. Insulate well to protect your home from the cold. Add insulation to your basement walls, headers or attic to make a noticeable difference in the temperature of your home and its energy consumption. A mineral wool product specifically designed for thermal performance, such as Roxul Comfortbatt, is ideal. This type of batt insulation will also provide protection from fire, moisture

and unwanted noise. Adding insulation is one of the simplest and most-cost effective ways to increase home energy efficiency. 4. Make use of natural sources of heat. Pull back your curtains to let natural light in. The sun can help to warm a room with its rays on a bright fall or winter day. If there are any large windows in your home that don’t receive much sunlight, keep the curtains closed to form a barrier from the cold. 5. Use ceiling fans to your advantage. In the winter, set the fan to rotate clockwise. The blades will pull the air up and around, redirecting warm air that rises back down into the living space. The effect can help you lower your thermostat by two degrees in the winter. While cutting back on energy may seem more challenging as the weather gets colder, it doesn’t have to be. There are many no- or low-cost methods to conserve energy that can provide consistent savings over time.

Upscale home décor with crown molding

Sanding Sponges for smoothing filled holes. Once the molding is cut and ready for fastening, use the Grex 18-gauge Green Buddy Nailer, which offers precision control and both sequential and contact trigger applications. “If you are going to back your molding with an adhesive prior to nailing, Titebond’s No-Run, No-Drip Wood Glue for molding and trim is a great product to use,” said Woodcraft senior product manager Peter Collins, “especially if you are going to use a headless pinner to install trim.” Painting crown molding can be simple — blending in with the wall or ceiling color — or new color can be introduced to match furnishings or accent the overall décor.

DeWalt’s 10” Single-Bevel Miter Saw easily handles cuts necessary to install crown molding like that shown in the bedroom pictured here. Create a dramatic new look throughout your home or highlight one area with crown molding — the key to an upscale look for walls, windows, doors, cabinets and more. Homeowners will find the tools and supplies necessary for crown molding projects at Woodcraft. Although crown molding is generally identified as trim for the area where a wall meets the ceiling, molding is used for many other home décor applications. Molding creates an appealing visual element when used at chair height along a wall, sometimes with thin vertical pieces attached to accent a wider area. Molding also serves as an attractive window cornice or as a frame for a wall-hung flat screen television or vertical mirror. The possibilities are only limited by homeowners’ imaginations and finances. “Crown molding is an inexpensive approach to adding beautiful detail to your home,” Woodcraft national power tool sales manager Andrew Bondi said, “and Woodcraft is the go-to source for tools and supplies for molding and trim projects.” Bondi speaks from experience, having recently installed crown molding throughout his house. Before lifting the first piece of molding, homeowners will want to do some research about molding and installation techniques and tips. “Cutting and Installing Crown Molding,” a DVD by Jim Heavey, and

“Crown Molding & Trim: Install It Like a Pro!,” a book by Wayne Drake, are good resources. A miter saw, like DeWalt’s 10” Single-Bevel Miter Saw, is essential for cutting crown molding joints. To make the process easier, Woodcraft recommends using a cutting jig with the miter saw — either the General Tools EZ Pro Crown King Crown Molding Jig or the Kreg Crown-Pro Miter Saw Guide that features a bonus measurement transfer angle finder. If your project involves a coped cut, Woodcraft stocks Eclipse Coping Saws and Gröz Coping Saw Frames. “Remember to protect your eyes,” product manager Jessica Douglas said. “Pick up a pair of SAS Safety Glasses before you begin your project. The lightweight glasses can be worn alone or over eyeglasses.” For all the marking and measuring necessary to prepare the molding, you will find the multipurpose Kreg Multi-Mark Marking Gauge indispensable. To fill any small gaps, Woodcraft recommends Famowood Wood Filler, along with Norton 5X Small Area

“General Finishes Milk Paint and Old Fashioned Milk Paint, both water-based, are available in many colors and can be mixed to create an extensive palette of custom colors,” product manager Kent Harpool said. “Both brands also offer related products to produce special decorative effects, such as antiquing and distressing.” Harpool recommends Redtree Bristle Brushes or Foam Brushes for applying paint. Use Microfiber Tack Cloths to remove sanding dust before applying paint or after distressing. To learn more about these and other products, visit your local Woodcraft store, call (800) 535-4482 or visit www.woodcraft.com.

“SERVING THE ENTIRE COWICHAN VALLEY”

Construction Quick Tip:

Choose concrete walls for severe storm safety now for more than a decade to solve several issues of homeowner concern. The concrete envelope delivers superior wind, fire and flood safety, is far more energy efficient and is less wasteful of natural resources. More specifically, as compared to wood, the strength and insulation of ICF walls can save you up to 50 percent on energy bills. Homeowners get a fire protection rating up to four hours and an unprecedented sound barrier to outside noise, plus additional interior comforts such as even temperatures, no drafts and mold control for cleaner air. Builders say that with an interlocking system, the assembly is quicker, it creates less waste, and by leaving more trees in the forests, with lowered energy consumption, homeowners will be making an on-going contribution to the sustainability of the planet. An ICF home (nudura.com) allows for all of the interior beauty shapes like arches, bay windows and decorative doors — and outside, the house can be bricked or you can opt for an eye-catching creative finish like stone, stucco, or wood siding. The decision to build with ICFs must be made early in the construction process to ensure replacement of the standard method.
