DISTRICT 2 RACE

Turnboo and Pimlott take the top spots Dylan Svoboda Staff writer Business owner George Turnboo and Cal Fire Director Ken Pimlott are front-runners to battle it out in November on the general election ballot for the El Dorado County Board of Supervisors District 2 seat.

The District 2 race, with seven candidates running, remains the most hotly contested county supervisor race this election season.

Neither of the top two candidates was close to the required 50% plus one vote necessary to win the election outright. The counts indicated that with 26.10% of the votes, Turnboo led the way ahead of Pimlott’s 22.62%, a difference of 529 votes, according to election results released by the El

District 1 Supervisor John Hidahl takes a moment to pose with supporters during his Election Night event at The Purple Place in El Dorado Hills. The first-term supervisor will face former supervisor Ron Briggs in the November runoff.

DISTRICT 1 RACE

It will be Hidahl v. Briggs Sel Richard Staff writer In a race seemingly fueled by a single issue, the El Dorado County District 1 supervisor race is now culled to two. With current Supervisor John Hidahl grabbing 43.2% of the vote, according to the results released by the Elections Department Friday evening, he falls short of the majority needed to win the election outright. Former District 4 Supervisor Ron Briggs RON came in at 24.71% and will face the incumbent come November.

Briggs, El Dorado Hills Community Services District Board President Ben Paulsen and attorney and former EDHCSD board member Wayne

Haug have all been vocal in their censure of Parker Development’s proposed Central El Dorado Hills Specific Plan, which requires a General Plan amendment to rezone the old executive golf course from open space/recreational to residential designation. Hidahl alone has kept a relatively neutral stance on the issue, stating that he is willing to consider a compromise but would not support the project as it currently stands. The application is still being evaluated by the Planning BRIGGS Commission with many District 1 constituents vocally opposed to it.

El Dorado County voters faced a long list of local taxes, bond measures and one statewide bond measure in the March 3 election. Those included measures on El Dorado Hills area voters’ ballots.

Vote count as of March 6, with approximately 1,000 ballots left to process in El Dorado County, are as follows: • Measure A failed, receiving 21,894 (38.47%) yes votes and 35,013 (61.53%) no votes. The measure required 55% voter approval to pass and would have authorized $120 million in bonds for improvements to El Dorado Union High School District schools. It would have added approximately $16 per $100,000 to residents’ home’s assessed value to property tax bills.

• Measure E needs 55% voter approval to pass, with voters in four counties deciding on the $650 million bond measure that proposes raising an average of $52 million annually for the Los Rios Community College District with revenues used for repairs, improvements, job training and programs at the American River, Cosumnes River, El Dorado, Folsom Lake and Sacramento City college campuses. The measure, which would cost property owners less than 2 cents per $100 of their home’s assessed value, is still somewhat too close to call.

El Dorado County voters rejected the measure with 19,912 (33.4%) voting yes and 39,711 (66.6%) voting no. In Sacramento County the vote is split nearly 50% to

Gallery at 48 Natoma rides again with Carousel

Susan Laird The Arts

W

hen you were little and went to the fair what was your favorite carousel animal?

Was it a fiery horse? A swift rabbit? An ostrich?

And what was your steed doing?

Did it have all its legs on the floor? Those lovely creatures are called “standing figures.�

The ones with half their legs on the floor and half in the air are called “prancers.�

And the ones with all their limbs in the air are called “jumpers.�

Jumpers also move up and down. Or at least they have since 1870, when Frederick Savage began making carousels and invented the mechanism that makes carousel horses go up and down like they are galloping.

There is something about carousels that captures the imagination.

When astride your fantasy animal, you become part of an incredible adventure. You are the princess of the realm.

You are the knight upon a fiery steed, out to rescue the world. You are a member of the Swiss Family Robinson, high atop a racing ostrich. You are riding a hare into a fantasy world of your own imagination.

And if you caught one of the brass rings that dangled tantalizingly near as you rode, the next ride was free.

Gallery at 48 Natoma Folsom’s public art gallery on Natoma Street brings those memories to life once more as it opens a new exhibit March 20, simply titled Carousel.

In the spirit of those

Photo by Jim Berger

Indulge your imagination with the carousel art photography of Jim Berger and the carving art of Thelma White at Carousel, an exhibit that celebrates the art of the merry-go-round at the city of Folsom’s public art gallery on Natoma Street. who rode the merrygo-rounds of yore, the gallery grabs the brass ring for visitors because admission to this remarkable regional gallery is always free. This exhibit features spectacular photography of carousels from all over the world

by Jim Berger and fantastic carousel horse sculptures by Thelma White, who resides in our own Gold Country.

Jim Berger Berger uses his artistic gifts in the realm of photo editing and special effects. His body of work captures everything from the texture of a wild mustang’s mane to the sense of history in a forgotten memory, whether in a pioneer town or a busy urban market. The results are magical.

This is his first exhibit of carousel work. Beyond capturing the details of an intricately carved carousel creature, he manages to capture the magical emotion of the moment.

A worldwide traveler, Berger sought out unusual and historical examples of carousels for this project. One of these is the oldest carousel in the U.S., The Flying Horses. Built in 1876, this carousel is housed in a nondescript building on Martha’s Vineyard.

The horses on this rare seaside carousel are not attached to the floor but are suspended from above. When the platform turned the horses

(and their passengers) swung out. An actual horse powered the carousel since this ride predates electrically powered systems.

Thelma White Taking the time to pursue what you love is an apt way to regard the remarkable art of local artist Thelma White. A lifetime lover of carousels, she studied and took photos of working rides for many years. After retiring from a traditional career in the Bay Area in the early 2000s, she moved to the Sierra foothills where she could pursue her passion in earnest. Not many retirees choose to take classes from a master woodcarver so they can learn the art of carving carousel animals.

In this exhibit White’s ephemeral works are featured. Each uses a complicated process that involves building up layers of carefully cut card stock to create each carousel horse.

Embellishments with found objects (beads, buttons, small trinkets) add to the magical effect.

The completed animal is sealed in a shadow box frame that accommodates the artwork’s nearly 2-inch depth.

The detail and spirit of the genuine article are there, in a much more manageable size for display in traditional homes.

It is a satisfying result for White, who spends at

least 50 hours creating each work.

In addition to the works of Berger and White, an interesting collection of merry-goround memorabilia will be on display.

The young and the young at heart will enjoy this exhibit. Consider that. It’s why our grandparents rode the seated swan benches on the merry-go-round when we were little.

A carousel brings out the spirit of the imagination for everyone.

Artist reception The public is invited to a free opening reception on Friday, March 20. from 6-8 p.m. Stroll through the exhibit as you enjoy refreshments, wine and live jazz saxophone music by Jerry Fairlee.

The Carousel exhibit opens March 20 and runs through April 30. The Gallery at 48 Natoma is in the Folsom Civic Center on Natoma Street, between City Hall and the Folsom Police Station.

Downsizing Fair Saturday, March 14th 9:00 a.m. – 2:00 p.m.

Trek Sinclair has embraced his company’s motto. The El Dorado Hills-based insurance agent is committed to being there for clients when needed.

You’re invited to our downsizing fair! Enjoy special

Like a good neighbor ...Trek is there

F

ollowing the creed he learned from his Boy Scout days, Trek Sinclair set a life goal — find a career that incorporated his strong values with his love of helping people.

He found exactly that when he began working for State Farm insurance. “I like their company values, their morals and their mission statement. I like how they do things,� explained Sinclair, who this past November opened an office in El Dorado Hills.

Sinclair said his mom introduced him to insurance when she worked for a competitor. After he obtained his insurance license, they ended up working together at the State Farm office in Granite Bay for six years. When an opportunity became available to open an office in El Dorado Hills, Sinclair said he jumped at the chance. His mom is now his office manager.

Sinclair is well aware of the insurance coverage challenges people currently face in El Dorado County. In order to meet the needs of each client, he and his staff initially have what State Farm

refers to as a “simple conversation.�

The information gathered will allow his staff to evaluate the coverage needs for their customers and this will also assist them in finding the best value.

Using an address-based tool system, each property is analyzed on a case-bycase basis — what may be right for one home could be different for the neighboring dwelling.

Since the opening of his office last year, Sinclair has immersed himself in the local community. In December his office was a drop-off location for Toys for Tots and the El Dorado County Food Bank. He recently became an ambassador for the El Dorado Chamber for Young Professionals (ELDO) and is looking for other ways to get involved. “I want to contribute to the community, not just benefit. I’m here to help,� said Sinclair.

State Farm is located at 2205 Francisco Drive, Suite 130, in the Safeway shopping center in El Dorado Hills. Hours are 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment evenings and Saturdays.

STATE OF THE COUNTY ADDRESS

County getting things done but still facing challenges Strategic plan moves county forward Noel Stack Editor California leaders can expect what will likely be a lengthy list from El Dorado County in the coming months.

As El Dorado County Board of Supervisors Chairman Brian Veerkamp put it, “This is a politically correct way to say, ‘We’ve got problems and you’re not helping.’”

Broken promises on road funding, a lack of action on the homeless and homeowners insurance crises and addressing PG&E’s “weird games” top the list.

But the District 3 supervisor’s State of the County address wasn’t all dark clouds on what turned out to be a very sunny day at Rolling Hills Christian Church, where the El Dorado Hills Chamber of Commerce hosted its monthly luncheon March 4.

Now in his last year as a supervisor, Veerkamp touted the county’s achievements over the last several years, including the development and implementation of a strategic plan that has moved the county forward with a more businesslike structure. He also stressed the board’s efforts to build a great team from the top down.

“You cannot do anything without a team working together,” Veerkamp said, adding that the strategic plan includes a goal-oriented action plan and consistent reviews. “Guess what? We’re getting things done.”

Those “things” include the completion of the new county sheriff’s public safety facility off Missouri Flat Road in Diamond Springs and securing more water for El Dorado County from Folsom Lake — a process that took a head-shaking 29 years. At the state level, PURCHASE • REFINANCE

El Dorado County Board of Supervisors Chairman Brian Veerkamp gives his State of the County address at Rolling Hills Christian Church in El Dorado Hills March 4.

Continued from A1

50%. In Placer County 22% of voters supported the measure with 78% against and in Yolo County 64.42% support the bond and 35.58% oppose it.

• Measure G for the Rescue Union School District was defeated with 5,515 (39.61%) yes votes and 8,407 (60.39%) no votes on a measure that needed 55% to pass. The $75 million proposed bond would have cost property owners about 3 cents per $100 of their home’s assessed value and would have gone toward health and safety improvements at the district’s campuses.

Statewide measure There was one statewide measure on the ballot. Called California Proposition 13, the School and College Facilities Bond, the measure would have authorized $15 billion in general obligation bonds for school and college facilities, including $9 billion for preschool and K-12 schools, $4 billion for universities and $2 billion for community colleges.

That measure failed both locally and statewide. In El Dorado County the measure was voted down by 50,322 (70.9%) voters and approved by 20,652 (29.1%) of voters.

Statewide it lost by a slimmer margin with 3,542,657 (54.6%) voting no and 2,946,966 (45.4%) voting yes, according to the latest vote count from the Secretary of State’s Office.

District 2 Continued from A1 Dorado County Elections Department Friday.

But the race wasn’t limited to just the top two contenders.

Turnboo and Pimlott narrowly led stiff competition from Cameron Park Community Services District board member Felicity Carlson and former supervisor Ray Nutting.

Carlson and Nutting received 21.19% and 20.44% of the vote, respectively.

El Dorado Hills Community Services District General Manager Kevin Loewen, Libertarian Party of El Dorado County Chairman Tyler Kuskie and write-in candidate Chris Cockrell, a local business owner, also ran for the seat.

The three bottommost candidates are polling at 5% or less of the vote.

District 2 encompasses south county, much of Cameron Park and portions of Shingle Springs and El Dorado Hills.

The candidates are running to replace current Supervisor Shiva Frentzen, who is termed out. The winner of the seat in November will take office for a four-year term beginning January 2021.

Saratoga

Veerkamp asserted, “We’ve got to work on more affordable (water) and more available water.”

The board chairman praised county staff’s efforts on the county’s Vegetation Management Ordinance adopted last year.

Implementation of the ordinance, which was in part modeled after a long-standing weed abatement/ fire safety program in El Dorado Hills, will benefit those buying and selling a home and those who need or want to retain their homeowners insurance, Veerkamp said. “It’s called being a responsible land owner.”

Veerkamp outlined ongoing challenges including funding much-needed road maintenance, capturing more sales tax revenue and retaining quality county employees.

“We’re a training ground,” he said, pointing to the counties to the west and north, “and we’re very concerned about that.”

On the sales tax issue, the fifth-generation El Dorado County resident said tourism drives the local economy and staff is looking at how to further capitalize on that. With a wink he noted that tourism might see a boost when a certain film is released later this year — one with “a plane that flies fast and a goodlooking actor.”

Another hint led to excited chatter among the audience. Veerkamp assured the business professionals in attendance that county leaders continue to work on the Costco deal. It has been more than a year since it was announced that Costco was interested in building a store on Silva Valley Parkway in El Dorado Hills.

own concerns. It is the only intersection that does not have a left-turn pocket on Saratoga Way and nearby homeowners have expressed concerns that this is a recipe for disaster due to the potential for cars traveling at high speeds. Arrowhead Drive residents have also shared their worries about traffic levels and speeders.

El Dorado County Department of Transportation Director Rafael Martinez said preliminary traffic studies show no need for a left-turn lane at the Finders Way intersection. However, he added, if future analysis deems it a requirement there is enough room to install one.

Hidahl revealed that a lighted

Continued from A1 intersection installed at Wilson Boulevard and the Saratoga Way extension will be controlled to create a pause in traffic to allow for left turns from Finders Way and Arrowhead Drive onto Saratoga Way. “The biggest unknown is how much traffic that road is going to get,” he said, outlining the need to measure traffic levels to determine the necessity for either traffic lights or stop signs at intersections along Saratoga Way. Martinez also explained the state requires traffic analysis to determine whether a particular intersection warrants either a traffic light or stop signs. Without documented analysis warranting a traffic light or stop sign, the traffic control

device is unenforceable, he said.

“We get hundreds if not thousands of requests for stop signs in El Dorado County,” Martinez disclosed.

Although he is receiving multiple appeals for traffic analysis to be conducted ahead of the road opening, Martinez said that isn’t feasible. “As soon as the road opens up, we are going to do the analysis,” he assured, indicating that data collection will take place over a period of approximately two months. “We don’t want to wait until traffic builds up above the road’s capacity and we want to make sure that as soon as the traffic levels ... warrant, we put in those stop signs.”

District 1 for District 1, I’m not discouraged,” said Hidahl of his near miss.

He expressed frustration with being the subject of some criticism and negativity, maintaining that he avoids these tactics and sticks to presenting the details around controversial issues.

“Some of my opponents were factually incorrect in their statements and in one case was blatantly untruthful in their attacks on me.

I’m hopeful that there will be a day of reckoning where the facts are all presented to the voters rather than false accusations and fabrications,” the incumbent said.

Hidahl told Village Life he plans to conduct a post-election analysis to not only understand the dynamics and trends from this election cycle but to define new elements needed, noting that the CEDHSP and the Vineyards project timing and concerns were key factors.

“The CEDHSP project will hopefully be addressed by the Board of Supervisors well before the

Continued from A1 November election,” he said.

Hidahl recently voted to approve the 114-acre Vineyards development north of Malcolm Dixon Road and east of Salmon Falls Road.

In his decades as a public servant, Hidahl reflected that campaigning has changed over the years and now includes an online presence to which he has had to adapt.

“I just want to thank all of my supporters for standing with me during the heat of the social media battle,” he said, describing the personal attacks aimed at him as sources of divisiveness, bullying and hate mongering. “Why can’t we all just respect each other’s opinions and views for what they are, agree to disagree if necessary and continue to be passionate about the things we feel strongly about without demeaning each other?”

Briggs pointed out that the three candidates who ran against Hidahl supported him when he ran for

his first term in 2016. “We were all very alarmed at the decisions that Supervisor Hidahl has made that have been contradictive of his campaign promises,” Briggs said, citing the Vineyards project as an example.

“He’s on the precipice of selling out his district and making some kind of deal other than a park for the golf course. I think that’s the issue,” the candidate told Village Life, explaining that the main theme to his own candidacy centered around his assertion to disallow any residential development on the old golf course. “I don’t know if I hit home or not.

Apparently I didn’t — otherwise I would have had a larger share of the vote.

“I look forward to November and a spirited debate,” Briggs added. “I’m willing to run on my eight-year record and his four-year record. That will be the crux of the contest.”

The general election is Nov. 3.

Wash your hands

I

keep thinking of these two declarations that an El Dorado Hills friend who lived in China during the 2002 SARS epidemic said to me less than two months ago because they are ringing eerily true.

The coronavirus, specifically COVID-19, first appeared in the central Chinese city of Wuhan, Hubei province, in December 2019, yet, like most Americans, the first time I even heard the word “coronavirus” was in January. I remember it was on the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday because I took my kids to the dentist that day. The office manager asked if I’d heard of some virus, a “corona” something. That same night I heard the first news report discussing it.

The next day, while walking with a friend, I asked her about it since she had lived in China for a decade in the early 2000s. “If they are saying there are 500 cases of coronavirus in China, it’s more like 10,000,” she told me matterof-factly, recalling what it was like to live in a country where the government suppresses news. It was a chilling statement that continues to unfold in the six weeks since.

As each day passes “coronavirus” is infiltrating nearly every aspect of our daily lives, including our global economy. At first I chalked much of the news up to hype. I refused to be fear-mongered, instead imagining the “Corona-virus” Halloween costumes we’ll see in October and I went out of my way to choose a Corona beer, which has seen sales tank, while at Chando’s last week.

As of March 6 COVID-19 has spread to 70 countries, with 101,888 reported global cases and 3,465 deaths. There is debate whether to call it a pandemic or not, but with its rapid spread it seems likely. As of March 6 the World Health Organization placed the COVID-19 mortality rate between 2 and 3 percent, which is higher than the 1957 Asian flu pandemic’s .6 percent, which led to 1.1 million deaths worldwide, and even the 1918 Spanish flu epidemic’s 2 percent mortality rate, which killed at least 50 million people worldwide, including my 7-year-old great aunt.

According to an article in Newsweek, “Can

Coronavirus Be Stopped and How Have Other Pandemics Ended?” writer Kasmira Gander explains, “The Spanish 1918 flu pandemic, the deadliest in history, ended because the virus ran out of hosts as individuals became immune or died.

The 1957 Asian flu pandemic was brought under control with a combination of quickly developed vaccines, antibiotics to treat secondary infections and immunity in some people.”

“The 2003 SARS epidemic that killed 774 people ended partly due to measures to control the spread of the infection, such as quarantines and the isolation of the sick,” Gander continued.

“Such methods worked because SARS is relatively easy to diagnose at an early stage and was geographically confined.”

What’s daunting about COVID-19 is the lack of symptoms while a person is contagious.

Keep in mind though that although older adults and people with health issues are at increased risk of severe symptoms, and even death, the majority of people who contract coronavirus have mild or moderate symptoms.

Americans born after 1957 really have no idea what things could get like if COVID-19 reaches true pandemic proportions, my friend who lived in China reminded me. With that, we are starting to see that the second proclamation coming true: Wait until people start turning on each other. Scammers are benefiting from people’s fears, charging exorbitant prices for hand sanitizer and surgical masks.

School children with Asian descent in El Dorado Hills and the greater region are purportedly being singled out as having coronavirus by their peers.

As fears grow kids buzz ever louder when anyone is absent from school. Oak Ridge Principal Aaron Palm sent a note to parents last week warning of false rumors being spread about kids having coronavirus.

We are in unchartered times, but we must work together and remember that we have more resources at our disposal than people did in 1918 and in 1957. If nothing else, the best thing we can do to stay safe is what mothers have always said: Wash your hands!

MESSAGE FROM EID by Jim Abercrombie

Infrastructure reinvestment

O

n Feb. 21 the El Dorado Irrigation District sent out notices for proposed rate adjustments for the years 2021 through 2025.

The notice lays out a series of rate adjustments over those years and details some of the drivers behind the need for the additional rate revenue.

EID personnel have worked to develop the leanest possible rate schedule while still ensuring rates generate enough revenue to help pay for critical projects that have become too pressing to defer any longer. We believe we have designed responsible rate adjustments that will do just that.

For 2021, the average (medium use) water customer would see an increase of $8.63 per bimonthly bill. The average wastewater customer would see a reduction of $6.79 per bill.

The average water/wastewater customer would see a rise of $1.84 per bill and the average water/wastewater/recycled water customer would see a $7.42 increase per bimonthly bill.

What are these rates paying for?

These rates are paying for reliability, reinvestment in aging infrastructure, and responsibility.

Every EID worker takes the responsibility of providing safe and reliable service 24/7 to our customers with significant pride. The rates will fund key projects to replace aging infrastructure to ensure the level of service and reliability our customers expect.

Here is a little background on just two of the critical projects faced by EID. To learn more about other important projects I encourage our customers visit our upcoming open houses or review our five-year capital improvement plan posted on the EID website.

In late December 2019 EID staff began monitoring a leak on its El Dorado Main No. 2 (EDM-2).

EDM-2 was constructed between 1975 and 1978 by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation as part of the Central Valley Water Project. EDM-2 originates at the District’s Reservoir 2 facility in Camino and is an indispensable artery in EID’s integrated water system.

In addition to the communities from Camino through Placerville, EDM-2 feeds the Gold Hill Intertie that in turn supplies Cameron Park and El Dorado Hills residents. In fact, EDM-2 is the primary water source for those communities during the winter months and aids the El Dorado Hills water treatment plant in the summer months to help meet peak demands.

Ultimately there were three separate leaks identified in EDM-2 and were repaired under emergency conditions.

EDM-2, like many of our distribution lines, is

showing its age and the time for a proactive water line replacement program is now. The rate adjustments will help us pay for water line replacement as well as pay for the bond payments that finance the larger projects.

One such large and extremely critical project is EID’s Folsom Lake Intake Project. At its Feb. 24 meeting, the EID Board of Directors unanimously approved a contract to move forward to replace this vital piece of infrastructure.

The Folsom Lake Intake supplies raw water from Folsom Lake to the El Dorado Hills Water Treatment Plant where it is treated and then delivered to customers in El Dorado Hills.

The water supplied through this system is critical to providing reliable drinking water service, especially during the warmer months when water demands increase dramatically.

The Folsom Lake Intake project will restore reliable pumping capacity to the facility that was lost when pumps failed a number of years ago.

Replacement of the intake facility will cost more than $42 million.

We have deferred the project for as long as we safely can. It’s time now to reinvest in the system to ensure reliable drinking water deliveries continue to meet demand.

In support of our call to our ratepayers to understand the critical need of the rate adjustments, EID has already held one open houses/public workshop where customers spoke directly to our engineering and operations staff to learn about important projects that will be made possible with the funding from the proposed rates. EID board members were present to hear ratepayer concerns.

The next meeting will be held on Monday, March 23 at 5:30 p.m. at the EID headquarters at 2890 Mosquito Road in Placerville.

EID’s board will consider the adoption of the proposed rates at a public hearing scheduled for 9 a.m. Monday, April 27. The hearing will be held at EID’s headquarters building located at 2890 Mosquito Road in Placerville. To learn more about the proposed rates go to eid.org/Prop218.

We have facilities in our system that have become unreliable and are stressed to their limits.

If the Folsom Lake Intake fails in the heat of summer, all EID customers would be impacted. If a flume or a major east-west water supply main fails in summer when water demand is high, it would mean severe water restrictions.

The relatively modest adjustments we are asking for will help us rebuild the facilities and refurbish the aging infrastructure that tens of thousands of people in our community rely on.

Cozy Lone Rock exudes bungalow charm Associated Designs Home plan column

S

hingles and stone provide eye-catching textural variety to the Lone Rock, a bungalow designed for construction on a lot that slopes down at the rear. Craftsman windows on all sides add their characteristic sparkle.

To enter, you climb a few wide steps. These lead to a welcoming covered porch with stone veneer bases topped by tapered columns that are linked by nostalgic wooden railings.

The entry opens directly into a vaulted great room with a masonry fireplace. Wide, arched openings at the rear lead to a vaulted country kitchen that expands out on the right. The mud hall straight ahead runs past a storage closet and a coat closet before opening onto a covered porch with a cozy sun porch to the left.

Basement stairs are nearby.

Counters and cupboards wrap around three sides of the kitchen, which is richly

windowed on two sides. Near the apex of the vaulting, two transom windows crown the four lower-level windows. The informal dining area is completely open to the kitchen and a sliding glass door opens onto the side deck that links with the front porch.

A vaulted owners’ suite with a full bathroom fills out the left side of the home along with the den. The small powder room across the hall is convenient to the kitchen and family room as well as the rear porches.

While most of the home is on one level, a bedroom, bathroom and spacious utility room are located in the finished half of the Lone Rock’s daylight basement. A convenient pet door accesses the utility room there.

The downstairs bedroom has a roomy walk-in closet and offers direct access to the side patio. As space needs expand, the owners might want to finish the basement’s other half.

Millennials’ home-buying desires mirror silent generation Quintin Simmons National Association of Realtors WASHINGTON, D.C. — A number of the homebuying characteristics of younger millennials are replicating the buying desires of those in the silent generation.

This is according to the latest study from the National Association of Realtors, the 2020 Home Buyer and Seller Generational Trends report, which researched each generation to examine the differences of recent homebuyers and home sellers.

The NAR report found that despite the obvious age gap between millennials and those that make up the silent generation, the two groups are likeminded in terms of buying preferences. Among both age groups, proximity to friends and family is a high priority, with 53% of homebuyers between the ages of 22 to 29 and 74 to 94 listing this as a major factor that would influence their decision in selecting a neighborhood.

“The silent generation — older Americans who are typically grandparents and great-grandparents — for years have prioritized living near family and other loved ones,” said Lawrence Yun, NAR’s chief economist. “But it was surprising to see younger millennials with homebuying preferences and ideals similar to older segments of the population.”

Thirty-three percent of home sellers aged 74 to 94 said the primary reason for selling their previous home was to move closer to friends and family, a deviation from historical trends that pushed home sellers to relocate more so due to reasons such as career changes or retirement.

However, now sellers have expressed a strong desire to be near family and friends and in some cases are motived to sell for this reason.

Another similarity between the two groups is seen in those classified as “recent buyers.” Younger millennials and silent generation buyers who purchased a new home, were the most likely to make the purchase due to the amenities a newly constructed home provides. This aligns with norms of older generations but represents a new trend for younger homebuyers.

NAR found those in each generational group began their home search by viewing properties online, although buyers 74 and older contacted a real estate agent or broker nearly as often as they looked online. This group, along with the youngest buyers, were more likely than others to confer with a friend or relative regarding their homebuying process, indicating that despite the resources made readily available by the internet, both younger and older buyers call on the advice of a trusted friend or relative.

All generations of buyers found the services of a Realtor or agent were needed as the primary resource to help them buy and sell their home.

“As technological advances are made, more potential buyers will want to consider the latest homebuying apps,” said Yun. “However, we see buyers of all ages prefer an experienced Realtor or broker to assist with this major, complex transaction.”

Moreover, half of all homebuyers between the ages of 22 to 39 found a real estate agent through a referral provided by a friend or family member.

Although younger homebuyers closely mirror older buyers, the two groups are not totally in sync. Younger millennials have the highest share of unmarried couples buying homes at 21%, whereas only 3% of homebuyers in the silent generation and 3% of older boomers were unmarried at the time of purchase.

Older millennials have the highest share of married couples, 67%.

For context, 61% of all recent buyers were married couples, 17% were single women, 9% were single men and another 9% were unmarried couples.

Twenty-two percent of homebuyers between the ages of 65 to 73, older baby boomers, are single women. A number of factors go into this share, including single divorcees entering the market, widows and unmarried women.

Another area where younger homebuyers stood apart from other buyers was in their living arrangements. Thirtythree percent of homebuyers aged 22 to 29 reported living with parents, relatives or friends prior to buying a home. Of this 33%, 13% paid rent and 20% paid no rent. The next highest share was homebuyers aged 30 to 39, where 13% lived with parents, relatives or friends.

This same living situation was found in only 5% of buyers aged 65 to 73 and in 6% of buyers ages 74 to 94.

Other notable findings Twenty-five percent of the homes purchased by those aged 22 to 29 were located in a small town. This speaks to affordability conditions, essential among younger buyers who traditionally are not in a position to afford high-cost housing.

As affordability wanes, as outlined in a recent NAR report, 64% of homebuyers aged 22 to 29 said the overall affordability of a home influenced their decision to purchase.

Forty-six percent of homebuyers aged 30 to 39 said school district quality influenced their decision making, while 36% of buyers from the same age group cited proximity to schools as an influential factor.

“The importance of being near schools and assessing the quality of a given school district is prevalent among older millennials,” said Yun. “Also, proximity to healthcare facilities is important for older boomers.”

The NAR report found that homebuyers aged 40 to 54, Generation Xers, had the highest household incomes of any age group at $110,900. Still, Gen Xers overall are facing some challenges, as 11% of Gen X home sellers stated a desire to sell earlier but were delayed because their home was worth less than the mortgage.

Furthermore, home purchases were delayed a median of five years for Gen X buyers, which Yun says is in part due to student loan debt and lingering impacts of the Great Recession.

This age group also comprised the most racially and ethnically diverse population of homebuyers, with 24% identifying they were a race other than White/Caucasian. This finding comes as a recent NAR report examined the change in the homeownership rate among minorities.

MARCH 11, 2020

A red-blue divide found on home construction Elizabeth Thompson National Association of Home Builders Nearly two-thirds of multifamily construction in the fourth quarter of 2019 occurred in “blue counties” where Hillary Clinton garnered the most votes in the 2016 election while nearly the same percentage of single-family home building took place in “red counties” where President Trump won. And momentum for continued single-family and multifamily construction continues in the red counties, according to the latest quarterly National Association of Home Builders Home Building Geography Index.

The fourth quarter release of the HBGI examines all the counties in the U.S. based on the 2016 presidential candidate vote totals and sheds new light on red/blue county home building conditions.

Using fourth quarter permit data, NAHB’s HBGI finds: • 51% of the U.S. population live in blue counties and 49% live in red counties; • 61% of single-family construction occurs in red counties; • 64% of multifamily construction is found in blue counties; • Over the course of 2019, single-family construction expanded at a 1.7% average rate in red counties, while declining 1.2% in blue counties; and • Multifamily construction posted much faster growth rates in red counties vs. blue (21% vs. 8% gain).

“The lack of housing supply and inventory is the primary challenge facing housing markets nationwide and are key factors why the nation is struggling with a housing affordability crisis,” said NAHB Chairman Dean Mon, a home builder and developer from Shrewsbury, N.J. “This latest HBGI data reveals that red counties are outpacing their peers in blue counties, despite almost two-thirds of apartment construction occurring in blue areas. The analysis highlights the importance of land use rules and development costs in determining the amount of home construction that takes place in communities across the U.S.” “While single-family permits ended the year just slightly positive and multifamily permits registered solid growth, ongoing challenges remain with respect to adding supply in high-growth, high-cost markets,” said NAHB Chief Economist Robert Dietz. “The lagging performance of single-family construction in blue counties, combined with the 2019 declines for home building in large metro suburban areas, highlight this affordability challenge, which is a source of frustration for younger households in high-cost markets.”

The HBGI is a quarterly measurement of building conditions across the country and uses county-level information about single- and multifamily permits to gauge housing construction growth in various urban and rural regions.

Other findings in the fourth quarter HBGI: • Single-family construction continues to lag in manufacturing areas, posting a 1.6% decline over the course of 2019, compared to a slight gain for the rest of the nation.

• Single-family construction is growing the fastest in small metro, outlying areas (small metro suburbs), while it continues to decline in traditional suburbs of large metro areas (1.4% decline)—the worst performing region for single-family.

• Multifamily construction posted gains in all regions by the end of the year.

Report

Continued from B4

Gen Xers are buying multi-generational homes. In many cases, the intent is to care for aging parents or to accommodate children over the age of 18.

Millennials as a whole made up the largest share of homebuyers over the past year (38%), marking the seventh consecutive year the group represented the most active generation of buyers. Millennials were also most likely to purchase a previously-owned home or townhouse, and were those most likely to find their home online and to use the internet during their home search. Convenience to workplaces and commuting expenses were some of the most important factors to the millennial age group.

“For several years now, millennials have shown that homeownership is important to them,” said NAR President Vince Malta, broker at Malta & Co., Inc., in San Francisco. “Their reasons vary: some are starting families, others are caring for aging parents, while others found that buying a home was decidedly cheaper than renting.”

Additionally, millennials had a dominating presence in several other homebuying categories, including in regard to first-time buyer totals. Eighty-eight percent of younger millennials and 52% of older millennials were first-time home buyers, more than every other age group. The older millennials were also the most educated age group, as 79% hold at least a bachelor’s degree.
