Looking for a real “memory-maker” for your family this holiday? Why not sprinkle in some magic of the performing arts into your holiday celebrations this year? The Valley offers some of the best holiday performances around. Whether it’s taking your granddaughter to see The Nutcracker for the first time, inviting your sweetheart to experience Handel’s Messiah, or bringing the whole family to see the Dickens classic tale A Christmas Carol, these events just might make this your most memorable and beguiling holiday yet.
The company: Ballet Arizona (BalletAZ.org), now in its 25th anniversary season and under the artistic direction of Ib Andersen, a one-time principal dancer with the New York City Ballet for more than a decade The event: The Nutcracker The overview: With Artistic Director Ib Andersen’s choreography and Tchaikovsky’s enchanting music, nothing makes the holidays more mesmerizing than Ballet Arizona’s classic interpretation of The Nutcracker. Take your sweetheart, take a friend, take the whole family to this holiday tradition. With the Sugar Plum Fairy and the Waltz of the Flowers, this fairy-tale-like evening will delight young and old alike. Special holiday treat: The special events surrounding this beloved holiday tradition make it even more delightful. First, there’s the annual Nutcracker Party, a holiday luncheon, where guests are treated to performances by Ballet Arizona dancers. There will be unique boutique shopping, carolers, and activities for children provided by local museums, the Arizona Science Center, even The Phoenix Zoo! And, if you’re able, please help support the “Nutcracker Angel Nights”: These special performance
1 cup sugar 1/3 cup quick oats 1 cup butter 1 tsp. vanilla
Mix dry ingredients together. Add cold butter and mix until you have hazelnut-size lumps. Cut 3-inch circles of the bread pudding with a 3-inch ring mold; keep the bread pudding in the bottom of the ring. Fill it up with the caramelized apple slices until almost at the edge of the ring and top it with the Brown Sugar Streusel. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 minutes until the streusel is golden brown in color. Serve while still warm with a scoop of Blueberry Sour Cream Ice Cream.
Let’s face it – this is a buyer’s market. In real estate terms, a buyer’s market is identified when there are seven months or more of inventory for sale in the area. Right now, buyers have a large selection of homes to choose from. Selling your home in today’s market is both a Price War and a Beauty Contest, and you must excel at both. How can your home stand out from all the other homes on the market? Just like in a beauty pageant, contestants are taught how to dress, how to walk and how to talk in order to appeal to the judges. In the real estate market, buyers are the judges in a very competitive contest, so how can your home shine above the rest?
THE DRESS
Paint a “livable” color palette throughout. Wall colors need to be ones that even if they are not the buyer’s first choice, the buyer can “live with it.” You will want to neutralize the color palette. Creamy beiges, warm tans and mild yellows are a great choice to warm up the space and make it look more personal. Walk through your home with a buyer’s eye and you’ll see that you might need to paint the red bathroom or the peppermint-pink accent wall in your daughter’s bedroom to a more universally appealing color. Other relatively simple cosmetic fixes can also make a big difference such as replacing plumbing hardware, cabinet pulls and light fixtures that may look old or outdated. Also, even though the buyer may not be purchasing the furnishings, remember that proper staging is one of the best ways to “dress” your home like a winner.
THE WALK
Consider making your home more eco-friendly. Today’s buyers are attracted to luxury properties that are environmentally conscious. Make changes with energy-efficient appliances and green-certified building materials such as flooring, countertops, cabinetry and paints. Even switching to low-flow toilets and faucets, and CFL lighting can make your home more attractive.
nights are open to children and families from disadvantaged neighborhoods free of charge, thanks to donations from “community angels”— ticket buyers, subscribers, and donors whose financial gifts help defray the evening’s expenses. Spreading a little holiday magic to others helps those warm feelings linger even longer! The company: The Phoenix Symphony (PhoenixSymphony.org), led by Conductor Michael Christie The events: Candlelight Messiah and Handel’s Messiah The overview: The symphony will perform Handel’s Messiah in an intimate candlelit-style setting, evoking the spirit and mood of its first European performance in 1742. Truly a holiday experience to remember! Enjoy soloists, a choir, and the Phoenix Symphony Baroque Ensemble who combine for performances of Handel’s best-loved composition. Special holiday treat: The intimate concerts take place at several Phoenix-area places of worship, allowing audience members to imagine what it must have been like to hear the music as it was first performed. This powerful and moving musical-nod to the holidays is bound to captivate and charm any audience member.
The company: Actor’s Theatre (ActorsTheatrePhoenix.org), now in its 25th anniversary season at Herberger Theater Center in downtown Phoenix The event: A Christmas Carol The overview: Thought by many to be the must-see Christmas event in Phoenix, some Valley families wouldn’t let a holiday season pass without partaking in this traditional treat. Adapted by Matthew Wiener and Michael Grady and with music and lyrics by Alan Ruch, this celebrated version of a holiday classic is more than a little special. Enjoy it as only Actor’s Theatre can tell it (think lots of music and a lavish production). After all, it just wouldn’t be Christmas without hearing the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and his visits from those three infamous ghosts. Special holiday treat: After 19 years, Actor’s Theatre’s award-winning production of A Christmas Carol is sadly ending after the 2010 season. “After all,” as the company says, “even Tiny Tim has to grow up and walk on his own.” If you haven’t seen it yet, make sure you do this year. Remember, it won’t be back.
Of course, you’ll want to let prospective buyers know about your home’s green features, particularly the ones they can’t easily identify. AJF Engineering (AJFEngineering.com) is a certified Green Energy Inspection company in the Valley and they can perform an energy audit of your property. With the use of sophisticated diagnostic equipment, they can evaluate your systems and determine your home’s “energy health.” You can also have your home rated and calculated on the HERS Index, a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network to evaluate a home built to their specifications. To be certified for the EPA’s Energy Star Program, Scottsdale Green Building Program and/or Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED), a third party verification that your home complies is necessary. The auditor provides you with a written report giving your home another leg up in the beauty contest!
THE TALK
You’ve primped and polished and your home is “evening gown ready.” You’ve created an advantage over your competitors by going green. Now you can price your home for whatever you want to sell it for, right? Wrong. This is where the Price War comes in. Utilize the expertise of a real estate professional that specializes in your neighborhood. They know exactly how to price your home for success. A home gets the most attention in the first 14 days on the market. If you start high, “just to test the waters,” buyers may not even bother to look and it’s very difficult to recover momentum by dropping the price later. Pricing, particularly in today’s market, is a critical component to the overall listing of your property. It almost requires a scientific approach; with market statistics, comparable data and the experience of a seasoned Realtor, to insure that this crucial aspect is handled just right. Is your home ready to compete? With proper preparation and expert guidance from your Realtor, you can be successful in selling your home — even in today’s buyer’s market.
