Dear Community,

concessions. While homes in the moderate price range flounder, there is a bright spot for Sellers with home on the market under $250K. Sales for this price range are out performing other price points and this is the only category where demand exceeds inventory. In the challenging local real estate market, featuring demanding Buyers and a surplus of home choices, it’s important to be represented by a capable, experienced local Realtor® who understands the market and is a skilled negotiator. Pinehurst So Pines Area Association of Realtors has well qualified and highly trained Realtor members. Understanding the wide range of skills Realtors possess, interviewing agents to learn about individual experience, expertise and results, and hiring a local realtor is the best advantage to buying and selling real estate in Moore County.
The fall is unofficially here; the children back in school and the comfortable pace and structure of known activities has returned. However, “unkowns” in the market place and housing industry are still causing ripples nation wide so it’s a good thing that ALL real estate is “local.” Sold prices in the local Moore County real estate market are down from last year, it isn’t hard to understand that falling demand, and falling prices go hand in hand. There are a finite number of Buyers in our market and distressed properties will continue to factor in the home-buying decisions Buyers make. Price, condition and location, the Holy Grail of real estate, is more important that ever. No matter the price point, Buyers expect to find amenities once considered luxury upgrades in their new home. Technologically astute Buyers have access to tax records, past market sales and other information arming them with the ammunition to drive hard bargains. Buyers also know they’re in the driver seat and expect Sellers to acquiesce to their requests for

Emergency Preparedness at Home
America is more “connected” now than ever before, with ondemand access to information and just about anything you want delivered to your front door overnight.
But recent natural disasters around the world have shown that even in this modern age, you and your family need to be prepared to survive on your own after an
emergency. It may take days or even weeks for emergency and relief workers to get to everyone impacted by a disaster. And basic services such as electricity, gas, water, sewage treatment, and telephones may not be restored to service for a lengthy period of time. Every family needs to keep on hand enough food, water and other necessary supplies to sustain themselves until help arrives or you can safely leave the area and get to a shelter. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has a website, www.ready.gov, with information on how to be prepared for both natural and man-
By John Pandich Moore County Home Builders Association President
made disasters. FEMA recommends putting together a basic emergency supply kit and keeping it in your home in an easily accessible location. The items that should be included in the kit are: A three-day supply of food and water, including at least one gallon of water per person per day and non-perishable food items A hand-crank or battery-operated radio and a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Weather Radio with tone alert A first-aid kit A cell phone with
chargers, an inverter or a solar charger Dust masks, plastic sheeting and duct tape in case of a chemical event that contaminates the air Items for personal sanitation such as moist towelettes, garbage bags and plastic ties Tools and supplies including a flashlight, a can opener, a wrench or pliers to turn off utilities, extra batteries and a whistle to signal for help Maps of the local area Other items you may want to keep with your kit include prescription medications; food or supplies for
infants or pets; copies of important family documents such as insurance policies, medical histories, bank and financial records, and passports; cash and/or traveler’s checks; extra clothing, blankets or towels; a fire extinguisher and matches; and personal hygiene items. A disaster can strike without warning, and the best way to protect your family is to be prepared. These tips, along with additional information available on www.ready.gov, are a good start to make sure your family is safe and comfortable following an emergency situation.

Simple water-saving tips can have a big impact on your wallet
PAGE D6
(ARA) - The average household spends as much as $500 per year on its water and sewer bill, but by making just a few simple changes to use water more efficiently, you could save approximately $170 per year and help the environment, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. From replacing inefficient appliances, to taking small steps at home to eliminate water waste, you can make a huge dent in your water usage and save some cash. Here are some easy tips to follow: Bathroom blunders Did you know toilets are the single largest water-user in a home? A leaky toilet can waste 200 gallons of water per day, and it is estimated that nearly 20 percent of all toilets leak, reports the EPA. Slow leaks can go undetected for years, but there is an easy way to check yours at home. Start by adding a few drops of food coloring to the toilet tank. If you have a leak, you'll start to see that color come through in the bowl within 15 minutes. Flush immediately after you're done so you don't stain the porcelain. If you can't fix the leak, consider purchasing a high-ef-

ficient toilet like the Kohler Persuade twopiece toilet. What makes this toilet so efficient is Dual Flush technology, which includes a 1.6gallon flush and an eco-friendly .8-gallon flush option. The Persuade toilet can save as much as 6,000 gallons of water annually over a traditional 1.6gallon toilet. Kitchen conundrums Have a leaky faucet in your kitchen? According to the EPA, a drip rate of just one drip per second can waste more than 3,000 gallons of water per year. So even if it seems like a small leak, it could be costing you big time. Many faucets can be easily tightened and fixed to eliminate leaks - otherwise, consider installing a new WaterSense-labeled faucet. Dishwashers can be another huge water drain. Remember to only run loads when the dishwasher is full, or invest in a dishwasher with a halfload cycle option, like most of the new Bosch dishwashers. Use this cycle or the express wash when washing small, lightly soiled loads. The auto wash programs use sensors to dramatically reduce energy and water consumption every time.
Lawn leaks Having a green, lush yard is something to be proud of, but if you're not watering the smart way, you could be letting your money evaporate into thin air. The average single-family suburban home uses at least 30 percent of its water for outdoor irrigation and as much as 70 percent in dry climates. If you want an efficient home, consider some smart-watering techniques. Start by only watering your lawn or garden during cool morning hours to reduce evaporation. If you use a sprinkler, make sure it's positioned correctly and not watering the street or driveway. If you do plant a garden, only select plants appropriate for your region's climate. Native plants can be a great option because they often require little additional water since they grow naturally in your area. Group plants together based on their water needs.

Bill Sahadi hosted Virginia Gallagher, owner of Hot Asana Studio and Boutique, John Tampa, Rector of Emmanuel Episcopal Church and yoga instructor, and Julie Tampa, Marketing Coordinator at Penick Village and yoga instructor on last week's radio broadcast of All Things Moore County heard each weekend on 990 AM, WEEB. In honor of the 5th annual National Yoga month, this was a show about the many facets and benefits that yoga can provide; from what to expect when you walk into a yoga studio for the first time to Patanjali’s Eight-limbed path, it was an incredibly informative program. If you’re never taken a yoga class, you’ll learn logistics like what to wear, what to bring, how to find the right class, and what actually happens in a yoga class. You’ll also hear heart-felt personal stories, and learn how yoga can benefit you – not just physically, but mentally, emotionally, and spiritually as well. Hear responses to frequently asked questions: is yoga a religion? Is yoga only for women? Do I have to be a vegetarian to practice yoga? For people from all walks of life, please tune in to learn what you need to know about yoga! Although the show aired during the weekend of Sept. 3rd, a podcast of the show can be heard in it's entirety at www.foreproperties.com/radio.
