What’s In The Water? Safe drinking water has become a hot topic. Do you know if water in the house you’re buying, selling or living in is safe?

Syracuse NY, Edition

Publication Manager Account Executive Khale R. Davison, RMC 315-338-5692 khale@lifeandhomes.com

The US Environmental Protection Agency reports drinking water may come from surface water or ground water. Water that is open to the atmosphere, such as rivers, lakes, and reservoirs, is known as surface water. Surface water typically undergoes a series of treatment processes before being piped through distribution systems to homes, schools, and businesses.

315-338-5692 Ting Khumkwa • Khale R. Davison Real Estate Marketing Consultants

Water pumped from wells drilled into underground aquifers (geologic 315-338-5692 • Khale@lifeandhomes.com formations containing water) is called ground water. Over 1/3 of people in the U.S. rely on ground water from public water systems or private wells.

THIS WEEKEND‘S

OPEN HOUSES

Over 150,000 public water systems provide drinking water to most Americans and are regulated and must ensure that the water they provide meets health standards established in EPA regulations. They must also test the water according to schedules in the regulations.

About 10 percent of people in the United States rely on water from private wells. Private wells are not regulated so people who use private wells need themselves to take precautions to ensure their drinking water is safe.

Millennials to Shape Housing Preferences

The millennial generation is poised to make a significant impact on home design with their strong preferences for energy efficiency and smart home technology; comfortable, workable kitchens and more casual spaces, according to representatives from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and Better Homes and Gardens. But first, they have to move out of their parents’ homes and into a place of their own, says NAHB Assistant Vice President for Survey Research Rose Quint. In 2015, about 15 percent of adults ages 25-34 lived with a parent. That translates into 1.3 million people who normally “would be out there, forming their own households, demanding their own units,” either as buyers or renters, she says. New mortgage programs and looser mortgage insurance requirements unveiled a year ago could have led to an increase in consumers buying homes for the first time. But a look at the size of the typical new single-family home in 2015 found the opposite: home sizes grew to an average of 2,721 square feet, the highest yet, and an indication that the new-home market continues to be dominated by move-up buyers, rather than first-time buyers. This year, home buyers of all ages say they are looking for homes with separate laundry rooms, energy-star appliances and windows, exterior lighting and a patio. What they don’t want are rooms with cork flooring, elevators, pet washing stations, expensive outdoor kitchens and fireplaces, and two-story entryways and family rooms. And their countertops should be granite, but never laminate, according to a Fall 2015 survey of potential buyers. What’s important about this generation is their comfort with technology. Millennials “are leading

the way on this,” Better Homes and Gardens Brand Executive Editor Jill Waage says. “They are the first generation to walk into homeownership with a smartphone in their hands.” These millennials want to use technology to make entertainment choices easier, monitor the comings and goings of packages, repairmen and their children, and improve their health and well-being. When it comes to product choices, “they’ve read the ratings, comments and reviews, and they know what’s worth it,” and have probably created a Google alert so they know when it’s on sale, she said.

Many people do not realize that they shouldn’t wait for summer. Young trees do best when they are put into the ground in spring and have ample time to establish themselves in the soil before either extremes of heat of cold hit. Therefore, if part of your winter landscaping daydreams include planting trees, it’s important to know you’ll need to be ready to plant early. Winter is an opportunity to begin planning. Five simple ways trees are practical and beautiful Few things can be so practical and as beautiful as a tree. It’s no wonder that with the rising popularity of the do-it-yourself lifestyle, more people are deciding to plant trees in their yard. Here are five simple reasons why:

Their home improvement preferences center on home organization and workspaces, as the separation between working in an office and telecommuting continues to blur.

1. A mature tree can add up to $10,000 to your property value.

The survey results are also important to home builders in the 55+ market, says David Peskin, president of Reverse Mortgage Funding LLC (RMF), which sponsored the NAHB study on consumer preferences.

3. Trees naturally offset carbon emissions.

“The results of this important survey shed light on the buying preferences of older Americans, and confirm that an uneasiness over finances is one of the primary reasons they are hesitant about relocating to a new residence that better suits their needs.” (NAHB.org)

Get An Early Start On Spring

2. Trees can reduce energy costs by providing shade to a house in the summer.

4. Because many change from season to season, trees add a variety of different colors to your yard and allow for a range of creative choices and combinations. 5. Trees help make memories. Watching a tree grow in your yard from year to year builds a connection between you, your family, your home and the memories you make there. An easy way to get started

As soon as the first morning frost appears and the first snowflakes start to pile up, many begin looking forward to spring.

The nonprofit Arbor Day Foundation is encouraging people to get an early start on their tree planting this year by offering 10 free flowering trees with a $10 membership. Which 10 flowering trees a new member will receive is based on what the state forester recommends or other trees selected for your area to ensure they thrive when planted.

Images of green leaves, red and orange blossoms, fresh vegetables and herbs help keep the cold winter days manageable as you wait for the ground to thaw so you can start planting. A good green thumb knows early starts in the garden or yard ensure lush, healthy plants, especially if you’re planting trees.

The 6 to 12-inch trees are guaranteed to grow and are currently scheduled to be shipped in March or April, a perfect time for optimal, early season planting. So if you’re already getting excited about spring projects, visit www.arborday.org/ earlyplanting to make sure your trees arrive at the right time for planting where you live. (BPT)

This winter has been one to remember. Do you have your house ready to show? What do I mean by is it ready to show? Today’s buyers expect your home to be in pristine shape. Buyers are very well informed on how to buy a house, what to look for in a house, how a house should be presented and what they want in a home. If a buyer is looking in your price range they are most likely looking at all the houses in that range. You want to make sure you have your home in the best marketing position.

All the Rage: What’s Trending in Hardwood Flooring After months of online browsing, you’ve found the perfect, wide plank hardwood flooring. Or so you think! You absolutely love the look, but how can you be sure it’s the right product for you? Ask the pros. In order to make an informed, purchasing decision, Linda Jovanovich of the American Hardwood Information Center, (www.hardwoodinfo.com) suggests you do your research. “All hardwood flooring is not the same,” she says. “Consulting with the experts will help determine if your product of choice will perform well in your unique home or office environment, and in your part of the country. And a little extra due diligence will eliminate guess-work, and the pain of an improper product choice.”

Getting Started The pros at Tennessee-based Mullican Flooring (www.mullicanflooring.com), offer this needto-know information regarding the differences between solid and engineered hardwood flooring, and the appropriate applications for each.

concrete, does not perform well in high-moisture areas, and can require up to 14 days of acclimation time. Engineered hardwood flooring is not one solid piece of wood, but rather a cross-layer construction of five to nine layers of hardwood, bonded together using heat and pressure. As a result of this process, engineered flooring is less likely to be affected by changes in humidity, reducing expansion and contraction. In most cases, it can be sanded and refinished, however special care must be taken with the thinner profiles. And it can be glued onto concrete, making it an appropriate choice for all levels - upstairs, ground level and basements - and a great choice for what’s all the rage these days, wide plank flooring!

Another Great Resource Solid hardwood flooring is just that, solid wood milled to a three-quarter inch thickness that can be installed only on a subfloor of wood, plywood or oriented strand board. Because of its thickness, it can be sanded and refinished over several generations of use. As a natural product, it will expand and contract with the humidity changes in your home or office. To compensate for this movement, installers should leave an expansion gap between the wood flooring and the wall, and install baseboard moulding or quarter round to hide the extra space. Remember, solid hardwood flooring cannot be glued onto 36

LifeandHomes ■ Syracuse

The flooring professionals at the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA), www.nwfa.org, concur. Requests for wider boards, random widths and rustic species full of character and color continue to dominate the hardwood flooring marketplace. “It’s a significant trend that will likely continue for quite some time,” says Brett Miller, NWFA vice president of Education and Certification. “And it is a trend that can present certain challenges, especially if the installation is subpar and the end-user is uninformed.”

So, act wisely and be in-the-know. Engaging the services of professional, certified flooring installers will ensure your gorgeous flooring will stay that way. These knowledgeable craftsmen understand the importance of acclimation and the control of temperature and relative humidity. They in turn will pass that information on to you, the end-user. An educated customer is a happy one.

More on what’s trending Other trends being followed by NWFA member companies, especially custom, wide plank flooring manufacturer, Shannon & Waterman (www.shannonwaterman.com), include a continuation of gray stains and finishes, texturing of wood versus smooth finishes, utilizing random widths in a single installation, a preference for rustic species, selecting boards based on significant character inclusions like knot holes and saw blade marks, and a return to oil finishes. It’s spicy. It’s classy. And it’s all the rage! Visit www.HardwoodInfo.com to see more on flooring, cabinetry and other products made from American Hardwoods. (BPT)

ly n o e e f a is t a h W Fina ncia l Pla nner a nd Why Should I ca re?

Answer:

Your Fiduciary: as a registered Investment advisor Firm, it is required of us to always act as our clients fiduciary. This means always putting our clients best interests first. This is in contrast to that of a Broker/Dealer relationship, as Broker/Dealers are only required to make “suitable” recommendations versus always being required to make recommendations that are in your best interest. Transparent: registered Investment advisor Firms are required to always fully disclose all fees and potential conflicts of interest to you, the client. Our

Salvatore T.Valente III, RFC® President/c.E.O

clients know exactly how much they pay for our services in a clearly spelled out written agreement – again in stark contrast to traditional Broker/Dealer representative requirements on transparancy. Fee Only: as a registered Investment advisor Firm, we are compensated from fully disclosed fees, and accept no commissions or any other forms of third party compensation, thus eliminating any conﬂicts of interest. again, as a registered Investment advisor Firm, we are always required to act in your best interest, and we can think of no better way than by refusing commissions and third party incentives for recommendations we make that create conﬂicts of interest.

In addition to all of the above, we are: Independent – We work for our clients, rather than representing a speciﬁc bank, investment or insurance company. We have no sales quotas, contests and accept no compensation from third parties, therefore we can offer our clients many, many more investment options at a much lower cost.

Are you ready to experience the fee-only difference? We are never paid commissions or referral fees, We do not sell products (Loaded mutual Funds or ”other products”). You pay for our objective, unbiased advice and expertise, which aligns your goals with our goals – to grow your wealth. 518-431-9880
