Poinsettias prefer bright indirect light, humid air, and wet soil. Place your poinsettia in a pot with adequate drainage and near a bright window. (Shutterstock).
By Tommy Roth, CSU Extension Home Horticulture Specialist
The holiday season is upon us and for many that means decorating with poinsettias. These colorful and festive plants are tropical, so they can only be grown indoors in the winter here. When choosing your poinsettia, look for plants with healthy green foliage. The colored leaves, also called bracts, should be full and damage-free. Bracts may look like the flower, but that is yellow and grows at the base of the bracts. Find a plant with tightly closed flowers that hasn’t shed pollen yet for a longer-lasting bloom. It can be difficult to keep these tropical short-day plants blooming throughout the winter. Luckily, with proper care, your poinsettias will continue to bloom through the holidays and beyond. Poinsettias prefer bright indirect light, humid air, and wet soil. Place your poinsettia in a pot with
adequate drainage (water should come out of the bottom of the pot when you water) and near a bright window. Try to mist the leaves every few days to simulate a more humid growing environment. Placing other houseplants nearby or using a humidifier can help increase humidity as well. Many people discard their poinsettias at the end of the holiday season, but you can keep it and it will bloom again next winter if you care for it properly. Once the bracts and leaves have dropped off the plant, reduce watering and let the soil dry. Then place the poinsettia in a cool, dark room for the remainder of the winter. Water just enough to keep the plant from shriveling. In mid-spring, repot the plant. After repotting, cut the stalks back to 6 inches above the soil. Place the poinsettia in a sunny window and begin watering regularly. When new growth appears, begin to fertilize the poinsettia. Regular
plant food is just fine, follow the directions on the product label. Move the pot outside when low temperatures are consistently above 50 degrees at night (late May or early June on the front range). Bring the plant back inside when low temperatures return to the 50s in late summer. Once the plant is inside you will need to induce blooming by exposing the plant to long nights. In the winter nights are naturally long, but artificial lights in the home can disrupt the plant’s natural processes and prevent blooming. To avoid this, place a box over the plant at night or place the poinsettia in a room where lights are not used at night. Poinsettias need at least 13 hours of darkness at night in the fall to flower. If you follow these steps, you should have free festive blooms for years to come. Good luck!

Millennials moving to area, defying a trend Millennials seem to be bucking a stayput trend, with the Denver and Boulder areas emerging as particularly attractive destinations TOM for this KALINSKI demographic. According to a recent study conducted by SmartAsset, Boulder boasts the second-highest rate of newly arrived millennials and Denver is the fifthranked city nationwide for move-ins of these young adults. In the past year alone, a staggering one-third of millennials in Boulder arrived, with 10,544 of the city’s nearly 29,000 millennials moving into the city limits in 2022, reported the SmartAsset study. Millennials now make up more than 27% of Boulder’s population. After Cambridge, Boulder had the highest rate of millennial in-migration, and the city placed 12th overall for the highest percentage of the population made up of newly moved-in millennials. Denver stands out as the fifth-ranked city nationwide for the highest rate of millennials incoming in 2022. In fact, 41% of the population in Denver, Seattle and Jersey City are millennials, achieving the highest concentrations of millennials in the SmartAsset study — ranking 5th, 3rd and 32nd respectively. This is despite that moving rates are trending downward, according to a separate study by the U.S. Census Bureau and Harvard University. Study results show that by age 26, more than two-thirds of young adults in the U.S. lived in the same area where they grew up, 80% had moved less than 100 miles away and 90% resided less than 500 miles away. Commuting zones — one or more counties that reflect a local labor market — factor high in determining where millennials would relocate, with young adults most commonly choosing to live near where they grew up, said the U.S. Census Bureau and Harvard University study. Contrary to a general decline in

those who move to another city, one in four millennials relocated to a different city in 2022, reports SmartAsset, which defined millennials as people aged 25 to 44 and ranked cities by the highest population percentage of newly arrived millennials. Here are the top ten cities that millennials moved to in 2022, according to SmartAsset. 1. Cambridge, Mass.
With a millennial influx of 17,275 in 2022, nearly 14.7% of Cambridge is now made up of millennial newcomers, bringing the median age of Cambridge to just under 30. 2. Santa Clara, Calif.
Santa Clara brought in 16,661 millennials or about 13.3% of its population. The city’s median age is 35 years old.
4. Sunnyvale, Calif.
This Silicon Valley city drew 18,862 new young adults – or 12.5% of its population. Sunnyvale’s median age is just under 36 years old. 5. Denver, Colo.
Denver attracted 85,390 millennials or 12.1% of its overall population. The millennial age group now makes up 41% of the city’s total population and the city’s median age is 35.4 years. The following cities round out the top ten in the SmartAsset study: •
Arlington, Va. with newly arrived millennials making up 11.5% of the population
•
Bellevue, Wash. with a population of 11.3% incoming millennials
•
Killeen, Texas with a 10.8% newly arrived millennial population

10.5% of its population made up of newly arrived millennials. Of the bottom five, Austin has the youngest median age at 34.7 years. Utilizing data from the U.S. Census Bureau 1-Year American Community Survey for 2022, the SmartAsset study encompassed 268 cities with available data and populations of 100,000 or more people aged 1 or over. The rankings were determined by the percentage of the total population represented by millennials who moved to the city in 2022. Millennials were defined as those aged 25 to 44.

Berthoud’s Heritage is Celebrated in the ‘Harvest’, a Custom Built Community

I
n the charming town of Berthoud, with its modest population of approximately 14,100 residents, a unique
residential project, ‘Harvest,’ has emerged. This luxury custom home subdivision, notable for its absence of Metro Tax, features sprawling quarter-acre lots set against a dramatic mountainous landscape.
The developer of ‘Harvest’ is a Berthoud local who sought to preserve the area’s agricultural legacy, once a working farm for three generations. (Photo: Harvest).
Berthoud, conveniently located just 30 minutes from Boulder, Fort Collins and Estes Park, now hosts this 40-acre development. ‘Harvest’ boasts collaborations with 11 local custom builders, offering potential homeowners the opportunity to either craft their dream luxury residence or choose from nearly completed spec homes. The typical investment for a lot, inclusive of the home and landscaping, range from 980,000 to 1.3 million. This development’s lack of Metro Tax significantly reduces property taxes compared to other new subdivisions in the area. A homeowners association (HOA) covers various amenities such as trash services, walking trails and a pocket park. Further details, including the site plan, builder information and phases of available properties, are accessible on the project’s website, BerthoudHarvest. com. Currently, lots in Phases 1 and 2 are available, with Phase 3 expected to launch in early 2024. The builders at ‘Harvest’ have

Berthoud offers a new recreation center, interconnected trails, and the recently completed 20-acre Berthoud Bike Park. Outdoor enthusiasts can enjoy boating, fishing, camping and hiking at Carter Lake, just a 10-minute drive away, and the TPC Colorado PGA golf course is a mere 5 minutes from the development. The developer of ‘Harvest’ is a Berthoud local who sought to preserve the area’s agricultural legacy, once a working farm for three generations. The streets
within the subdivision are named after family members who worked the farm for over a century. The name and logo of ‘Harvest’ pay homage to the decades of grain, corn and alfalfa harvests carefully tended by these families. The land originally belonged to Swan Peter Johnson and his wife Sophia, Swedish immigrants from the 1880s. Mark French, President of the Berthoud Historical Society, provides insight into the Johnson family’s history. Peter Johnson,
who managed the farm until his untimely death in 1902, left his wife Sophia to run the farm with their four sons. A fire following Peter’s death led to the construction of a new barn, still standing today, a testament to the family’s resilience and dedication to farming. The youngest son, William “Bill” Johnson, continued the farming tradition until his death in 1975. The farm’s transition into the ‘Harvest’ residential development began when Art Johnson, looking
to retire, met Alex Hoime of HT Land Partners. Their partnership and friendship eventually led to the creation of ‘Harvest,’ a testament to the Johnson family’s legacy. Today, ‘Harvest’ is not just a housing development but a community that embodies the spirit of Colorado living, offering its residents a blend of elegance and tranquility.

Whether it’s downsizing to a smaller home, relocating to a retirement community, or aging in place, my guide is tailored to help seniors easily navigate the complex world of real estate. In this guide, I have included unique insights and considerations for different phases of aging, such as health and mobility challenges, financial constraints, and social needs. I have also highlighted critical factors like accessibility, location, community services, and maintenance that seniors should consider to ensure they make informed decisions about their living arrangements. As a senior, you deserve the best living arrangement that meets all your unique needs and preferences. With my guide, you can be confident that you’ll find the perfect property that meets your current requirements and caters to your future needs. Understanding the phases of aging
1. Go-go years (active retirement): This phase typically involves active, independent living. Seniors in this stage should focus on properties that offer low maintenance but have ample opportunities for social engagement and active lifestyles. 2. Slow-go years: As mobility and
health change, seniors may need homes with easier accessibility and closer proximity to healthcare services. 3. No-go years: This phase often requires properties with maximum accessibility, minimal maintenance, and immediate access to comprehensive healthcare and assisted living services. Before you begin: Assessing your needs
As you embark on finding a new home for your retirement years, you must consider critical factors impacting your quality of life. The first and foremost is your health and mobility needs, both current and anticipated. This will help you determine the level of accessibility required in your new home, ensuring that you can quickly move around and perform daily activities. Another crucial factor to keep in mind is financial planning. It’s recommended to consult with a financial advisor to understand your budget and potential future healthcare costs. This will help you make informed decisions about the affordability of different properties and ensure that you are financially prepared for any unexpected expenses. Finally, take some time to consider your lifestyle preferences. Retirement is a time to relax, explore new hobbies, and enjoy social activities. Do you prefer a quiet community with plenty of relaxation and solitude opportunities? Or do you thrive in a lively environment with many activities and social opportunities? These factors will help you narrow your options and find a home that meets your unique needs and preferences. During your search: Key considerations
Types of real estate properties: 1. Condominiums and townhouses: Ideal for active seniors looking for lowmaintenance living. Many offer
amenities like clubhouses, fitness centers, and community events. 2. Single-level homes: Suitable for those with mobility concerns, offering easier access without stairs. 3. Senior living communities: These range from independent living to assisted living facilities, offering various levels of care and community engagement. Architectural design considerations
1.
Accessibility: Look for features like no-step entries, wider doorways, and walk-in showers. Consider potential renovations for accessibility.
2.
Maintenance requirements: Lower maintenance properties are ideal, particularly those without large yards or extensive upkeep needs.
3.
Energy efficiency: Energyefficient homes can reduce long-term costs. Look for properties with good insulation, energy-efficient appliances, and solar panels.
Location and community services
1.
Proximity to essential services: Easy access to healthcare, pharmacies, grocery stores, and public transportation is crucial.
2.
Community and social engagement: Communities that offer social activities, clubs, and events can significantly enhance quality of life.
3.
Safety and security: Consider neighborhoods with good safety records and gated communities for added security.
Unique insights for seniors
When purchasing a property, there are several important factors to
remember. Future-proofing your investment is crucial, so choosing a property that can adapt to your needs as you age is wise. This might mean opting for a home with features like grab bars in the bathroom or a stairlift. By choosing a property that can accommodate your changing needs, you can save yourself the hassle (and expense) of moving again. Another factor to consider is the community culture. Spending time in the community before making a purchase can help you understand the area and whether it will be a good match for your lifestyle. Do you prefer a quiet, suburban community or a bustling city center? Are there ample opportunities for outdoor recreation or cultural events? Taking the time to research the community can help ensure that you’re making a wise investment in your property and quality of life. Finally, it’s essential to consider the potential resale value of your property. While choosing a home that currently suits your needs is necessary, it’s also wise to consider how the property may hold up over time and whether it will be an attractive option for future buyers. Considering these factors, you can make an intelligent investment that will serve you well for years. Making an informed decision
Selecting the right property as a senior is about balancing present needs with future possibilities. It’s about finding a place where you can live comfortably, safely, and happily, regardless of the phase of aging you’re in. As a Senior Real Estate Specialist, I recommend taking the time to thoroughly assess your needs, explore various options, and make a well-informed decision that aligns with your lifestyle preferences and practical necessities.

HOME MAINTENANCE
How is your HVAC system? Checking the heating and cooling system is one of the most important parts of routine home maintenance and one that many homeowners pay little attention to. Once they ROB learn, however, that the price of a PROCTOR new system could set them back between $5,000 and $7,000 their interest in maintaining it increases. You may want to replace the system anyway when you consider that maintaining an old or inefficient furnace is almost as costly as replacing it. In addition, the operating cost of a dated system is far more than that of newer, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems. Heating and cooling your home, according to the experts at the
Department of Energy (DOE), eat up almost half of your energy bill. Before you replace that system, let’s take a quick look at what types of heating and cooling systems are available. Central heating and cooling systems
These are the most common systems in the United States. They’re inexpensive and popular because the air conditioning system can be combined with the heating system. The central heating system works by heating air in a furnace and distributing it throughout the home, via ducts and heat registers. The disadvantages of central heating include: • Leaky ducts: If the ducts aren’t insulated properly or they leak, they waste energy. • Size of the ducts: because they are large they take up space that could be used for other purposes.

• Dust: Ducts tend to gather dust which is then distributed into the living areas of the home. Hot water
Hot water is used in two types of systems, the radiator and radiant floor heating. Both systems work by distributing heat from a boiler to either the radiator or a system of pipes beneath the floor. Some radiant floor systems utilize electric cables instead of hot water. Mini-split system
This system is also known as the ductless air-cooling system. While it’s similar to the ducted system its smaller size makes it ideal for smaller areas. Geothermal
If you want to go ultra-modern with your heating and cooling system, consider the geothermal system. The geothermal heat pump gathers
heat from the earth and distributes it throughout the home. To cool the home, it does the opposite, taking heat from the home and depositing it in the earth. Geothermal systems are quite efficient and can result in a 70 percent reduction in the cost of heating a home and a 50 percent reduction in cooling costs. The biggest drawback is that the installation of a geothermal system is quite costly. Even newer systems should be inspected, cleaned and serviced once a year.

Removing Private Mortgage Insurance from your mortgage payment “Mortgage insurance” might sound like a type of life insurance that pays off the mortgage on your home for the DUANE benefit of the DUGGAN survivors in the event you pass away. However, Private Mortgage Insurance, known as PMI, is not that at all. PMI is insurance to protect the mortgage lender in the event the borrower defaults. PMI is usually required on conventional home loans in cases when the down payment is less than 20%. Without PMI, the risk to the lender would be higher, and lenders would not be as
In an appreciating market, once the loan-to-value ratios fall within certain guidelines, the expense of PMI can be removed.
willing to commit as many funds towards low down payment programs. With PMI, conventional loan programs are available to buyers with as little as 3% down. In rapidly appreciating markets, buying a home with as little down payment as possible
makes a lot of sense. When average home prices rise 20% in a year, and you’re trying to save for a 20% down payment, you go backward pretty quickly. In other words, you just can’t “outsave” the price growth in the housing market we have now. In a market like this one, if you can afford the monthly payment, you can purchase a home as soon as you have a 5% down payment, thanks to PMI. Private Mortgage Insurance is not free. Mortgage lenders have access to different companies that underwrite PMI. PMI can be paid upfront, monthly, or a combination of both. PMI can also be built into the interest rate. The bottom line is that it costs a little more to be able to buy with a low down payment. Now for the good news! In an appreciating market, once the loan-to-value ratios fall within certain guidelines, the expense of PMI can be removed. If you think you can meet the guidelines, the first step is to contact your current mortgage lender. Here are the general guidelines: As you pay on your mortgage, the loan balance goes down a little each month. Once it is less than 80% of the original value, you can request the PMI be removed. If you have been paying extra towards your mortgage balance, it might reach that level quicker than you think. You can also analyze whether or not it would be good to pay the balance down today, to a level where it is less than 80% In some cases, when the loan balance has reached 78% of the original value, PMI is supposed to be removed automatically. If you think you have reached this level and PMI has not been removed, be sure to contact your lender. If you think the value of your home has gone up enough in the last two years that its current
value places the loan at 80% loan-to-value or less, you can request the PMI be removed. The lender would likely require an appraisal to be done. Again, check with your current lender. Other Ways to Remove PMI Pay down your loan balance. If you have been making extra payments towards the principal, the loan might be paid down enough to qualify for PMI removal. If you improve your home, you might be able to get an appraisal showing that your home qualifies to have the PMI removed. If values have gone up and rates have gone down, you might consider refinancing. You need to consider the costs of refinancing and the fact you are starting over on a new loan. Get a Mortgage Recast of your loan. Often a lender will do a Recast. This can sometimes be done with fewer expenses of a refinance and leaves the remaining years on the loan in place. Replace the current mortgage with an open-ended Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC). HELOCS don’t require mortgage insurance but don’t have a fixed interest rate. Be sure to consult your Mortgage Loan Officer and other financial advisors and work out a plan that is just right for you.

ASK THE EXPERT
What do I need to know when hiring for appliance repair? By Paul F. P. Pogue Ask Angi, (TNS)
to keep your flooring, walls and furniture safe.
The winter season places the most pressure on our appliances. Not only is the home a closed envelope with heaters running full blast in cold weather, but the holidays generally mean your appliances will experience a lot more wear and tear than the rest of the year. You never want to lose access to an appliance in cold weather; when you do, you want to repair it promptly. It might seem easy to call the first appliance repair place you can find, but take care when hiring. You want a qualified professional to give you the best work. Since most states and cities don’t closely regulate appliance repair, you need to hire a top-notch pro. Ask these questions to improve your odds:
3. Do you carry insurance?
1. Who will be working on my appliance?
Some repair companies employ multiple employees. Avoid hiring

contractors who are unwilling to share details about who will be working on your project. 2. What will this job entail, and how will you keep my home safe?
Any appliance installation, especially a big one, poses a risk of damage to the home, whether during installation or just by transporting a large object through the house. Ensure your pro has a strategy

Elliott Apartments are located in a historic residential neighborhood in Longmont, Colorado. Just two blocks from beautiful main street Longmont, Elliott Apartments has easy access to shopping, restaurants, and entertainment.
6. Is it better to repair or replace my appliance?
Lack of insurance should be a deal-breaker when hiring any pro. Appliance repair involves large equipment, working with water, gas, or electrical lines, and almost always occurs in your house. That means your contractor should carry insurance to cover any damage or injuries that take place—or else you yourself might be liable for costs!
In many cases, a simple formula helps you determine if it’s worth the cost to repair an appliance. This formula usually compares the appliance’s age to its expected lifespan and compares the repair cost versus how long it’s likely to last. However, this varies by appliance. Make sure you can trust what your pro says about your appliance’s lifespan.
4. Are you experienced with my kind of work?
7. What discounts and rebates are available?
Your pro should be familiar with the type of appliance and the manufacturer. Different scenarios present their own challenges. 5. What kind of warranty do you offer?
A reliable appliance pro will provide a written warranty for both their work quality and whatever parts they supply.
A number of new, energy-efficient appliances are eligible for tax credits and utility rebates. This will vary by state and city, so ask your pro if they know all the perks available for your work. Tweet your home care questions with #AskingAngi and we’ll try to answer them in a future column.
