Art ~ History ~ Culture
THREE SCOTTSDALE MUSEUMS THAT HIT THE MARK! WESTERN SPIRIT: SCOTTSDALE’S MUSEUM OF THE WEST This architecturally appealing museum located in downtown Scottsdale’s art district is focused on our area’s Western heritage. Named by True West Magazine as the “Best Western Museum in the Nation,” this top-rated attraction celebrates the culture and unique stories from the Old West. Three limited-time exhibits have just recently opened this summer. The Rennard Strickland Collection of Western Film History features Western film posters and memorabilia dating from the 1800s to the present. Of Spirit and Flame: John Coleman Bronzes from the Collection of Frankie and Howard Alper is a selection of over 20 bronze sculptures by one of the nation’s most celebrated artists of the American West. Lastly, Grand Canyon Grandeur includes 100 striking portrayals of the Canyon’s visual diversity in oil paintings, watercolors and prints dating back to the 1850s. THE PENSKE RACING MUSEUM Housed within a complex of auto dealerships, this attractive display showcases a collection of cars, trophies and racing
memorabilia of the Penske Racing brand. With over 50 years of racing experience and over 400 major race wins, there are a number of Indy 500-winning racecars as well as vehicles driven to victory in other races held around the world. You’ll see the 1963 NASCAR Pontiac Catalina that Roger Penske drove to victory at the NASCAR Riverside 250 in 1963; the Dodge Charger Rusty Wallace drove in the 2005 NASCAR Nextel Cup; and the March 86C that won the 1987 Indy 500 with Al Unser Sr. at the wheel. There’s a pleasant café onsite and a boutique with raceinspired merchandise available for purchase. SCOTTSDALE HISTORICAL MUSEUM This small and rather unassuming museum offers glimpses into Scottsdale’s early beginnings. The One-Room Schoolhouse exhibit depicts how a one-room schoolhouse might have looked during the 1800s and through the early 1900s. The Winfield and Helen Scott Exhibit shows how the namesake of Scottsdale and his family made this part of the desert southwest their home and helped it grow to the bustling city it is today. Intimate and well-maintained, this free museum is certainly worth a stop into; particularly as there are everchanging exhibits that switch throughout the year.

Four Reasons to Renovate Now! SPOTLIGHT ON
YOU SHOULD USE IF YOU WANT YOUR HOME TO SELL
One thing to keep in mind: most homeowners underestimate the updates that their property needs. It’s easy to be lulled into a comfortable mindset with our homes. After all, you’ve lived there and have enjoyed it year after year – why wouldn’t everyone else?

“The MASK mission is to engage and educate parents, children, and the community about the issues facing our youth and to empower children to make safe, healthy choices.
Chef Tomaso Maggiore, a culinary staple in the Valley for decades, has brought his iconic concept to North Scottsdale. Tomaso’s When in Rome has recently opened at Pinnacle Peak and Scottsdale Roads to the delight of many. Passionately crafted dishes are created with the finest ingredients, and with the true essence of Italy in every bite. Dinner includes entrees such as Roman Gnocchi, Osso Buco, Veal Saltimbocca and Linguine con Vongole. Truly a treat! TomasosWhenInRome.com
So, take the time this summer to prepare your home to be a “wow” by the time we’re ready to list it and present it to potential buyers. Here are several reasons why.
MASK fulfills its mission by engaging, educating and empowering families through the MASK E3 Institute, various workshops, MASK The Magazine and our vastly informative website.
1. Renovations often take longer than expected It’s just a fact – if you’ve been told it will take 4-6 weeks, budget in time for 8-12. Not that every renovation project is delayed, but it’s very common. Avoid the last minute stress of scrambling to get updates completed just as the market starts heating up in the fall.
Through these platforms MASK offers parenting solutions for today’s families. MASK tackles important topics – from drugs and alcohol to bullying and Internet safety – and gives students, parents and the community the knowledge and tools to manage these potential challenges.”
2. There may be issues you’re unaware of Starting cosmetic updates such as new flooring, updated kitchen countertops and cabinets might also uncover problems you weren’t aware of – such as mold or faulty parts and systems – that will most certainly need to be addressed before you sell.

Never underestimate the power of a fresh coat of paint. We already knew Americans have an obsession with the color blue, but it turns out, it's a phenomenon that translates to real estate, too. Zillow's 2017 Paint Colors Analysis found that homes with blue bathrooms (often powder blue or periwinkle) sold for $5,400 more than expected. The bathroom color you'll want to avoid when selling your home? White. Houses with white, off-white, or eggshell white bathrooms sold for $4,035 less than similar homes. In the study, Zillow analyzed photos of more than 32,000 homes sold in the U.S. to see how paint colors might have affected the price. Interestingly, bathroom color seemed to have the biggest impact of all the rooms in the house. Other top performers were bathrooms painted in comparatively cool neutrals, like light gray or oatmeal.
3. You might as well enjoy the updates yourself If you’ll be living in or visiting the home this summer, by all means, those shiny new kitchen appliances, your swanky new fire pit and that fresh coat of paint are just begging to be enjoyed before you sell. 4. Summer is a great time to have a pre-listing consultation Meeting with us now, well before you plan to sell, is one of the best ways to insure you’re renovating smart and getting a return on your investment. We can advise you on just exactly what buyers are looking for, what updates make a home stand out, and what improvements should be passed on and would be a waste of your money.

Blue works its magic in other rooms, too. Homes with soft blue kitchens sold for about $1,809 more while yellow kitchens brought prices down by $820 on average. In the dining room, walls coated in slate blue, gray blue, or navy blue with white shiplap (yes please!) were worth $1,926 more, and red dining rooms took a $2,031 hit (yikes!). Blue bedrooms (light cerulean to cadet blue) added $1,856 to a home's worth; compare that to pink bedrooms, which saw a slight decrease in sales price ($208). Why? "Painting walls in fresh, natural-looking colors, particularly in shades of blue and pale gray not only make a home feel larger, but also are neutral enough to help future buyers envision themselves living in the space," Gudell says. "Incorporating light blue in kitchens and bathrooms may pay off especially well as the color complements white countertops and cabinets, a growing trend in both rooms." The only room where it doesn't pay to go blue? The living room. Homes with blue living rooms suffered $820 on average, whereas brown living rooms (whether light beige, pale taupe, or oatmeal) sold for $1,809 more, proving our prediction that brown is making a major comeback to be true.

However, buyers looking in North Scottsdale are expecting two things – excellent location and a modernized home. There are quite a few homes for buyers to choose from in today’s market inventory, and truly, they generally pass right by the properties that are outdated, need maintenance or just don’t show well.
