Making a home unique, special, and personally intuitive are challenges every

By Debra May Himes, ASID, LEED AP homeowner encounters whether the home is 1,500 square feet or 15,000 square feet.

Often, a home needs just a touch of glamour, or special visual interests, to take it from “nice” to “knock-out!”

No matter the size of the home or space, there will always be common issues to contend with. For example, how to bring interest to that space? What will make a home or space stand apart from another one? How should large spaces be fashioned to feel more intimate? How can smaller spaces feel larger?

Designing a home or space properly can also be quite an investment. If and when a homeowner decides to sell the property, the home should stand alone from the other choices on the market. Creating fascinating and compelling details is optimum, in that those remarkable elements and appealing design choices hopefully will remain in the memories of those who are viewing your home.

In many instances, a touch of drama is a great way to create interesting spaces. The trick though, is to understand exactly what that means and how to achieve it. For larger spaces, there is usually a bit of a stronger challenge, but properly designing the space will certainly include focusing on at least one area in the room to add that touch of drama.

Fireplaces, interesting art, important pieces of furniture, beautiful views and conversation areas will help determine those focal points.

The opposite will be true when designing smaller spaces. In this case the challenge is usually to make the space feel larger. The best way to achieve this may be to simplify.

For a smaller space, this may be achieved by determining a focal point in the room and addressing it with something that will demand attention when someone enters the space.

When incorporating some drama, you might take a cue from current design trends.

For color, the “new neutral” is definitely gray - not an icy gray, but more of a warm gray.

That gray is being paired with all sorts of other fashionable hues such as yellow, apple green, and purple.

As we look back upon 2012 and forward to 2013, we see that the Phoenix housing market is well underway with a healthy, managed recovery. In fact, Phoenix continues to lead the nation in its recovery and we expect 2013 to show an even brighter outlook than 2012.

We still have a long-term supply shortage for residential homes, although it has eased considerably at the bottom end of the market compared with the spring of last year.

Due to the usual dip in higher-end homes sales volumes, pricing tends to be a little weaker during the summer. This was still true in September when prices were only slightly higher than in August, July or June. However the comparison with the summer of 2011 is stark. Average price per sq. ft. was up over 23% since September 2011 and now that we are moving into the cooler months, prices are resuming their advance with greater speed.

Many cities have seen very large increases in average pricing over last year. This has encouraged more sellers to enter the market and we are seeing a significant increase in supply in most areas. Investor purchases are down from the peak in July and August and will probably decline further.

Investors (as opposed to speculators) tend to react to rising prices by reducing their appetite for additional homes.

Most homes below $250,000 that are priced realistically are still attracting a large number of offers within a short time, and offers will often exceed the asking price. It is still much quieter in the luxury market and active adult sector but prices are firming here as we enter the season when

Organic shapes versus geometric or linear lines are on-trend now and can be seen in furnishings, fabrics and even wall décor. Wall panels in all sorts of materials, shapes and patterns are a way to make a big impact. Check out InterlockingRock panels by ModularArts.com for inspiration.

A statement headboard in the Master Bedroom is another sure way to create drama.

These headboards can be upholstered in all sorts of gorgeous fabrics, crafted from wood or even made out of leather-upholstered large mosaic pieces.

Often, the use of interesting texture is all that’s necessary. A simple wall or other mundane architectural element can be absolutely transformed with the application of materials such as stone, metal, tiles, crystals...the options are as limitless as your imagination!

Now, get your imagination working on overdrive and plan to put a little panache in your home’s design as well!

snowbirds return to the Valley.

With the current stability in pricing, appraisals have had a chance to catch up, so recently appraisals have tended to come closer to current market value. With renewed price escalation, we expect low appraisal issues will reemerge during the first quarter.

The situation for the average home buyer remains fairly difficult despite extremely low interest rates and still-cheap prices by any historical standard. This is because the number of homes for sale is still well below normal and well-funded investors are still here in sufficient numbers to make very serious competition with multiple all-cash offers with few strings attached. Many ordinary buyers continue to come away empty handed after submitting 10 or more offers.

Investors are focused primarily on the lower price ranges, where the rental return on investment is highest. So prices have continued to move higher for homes below $250,000.

After moving backwards for a while in 2012, the upper-end of the market is starting to show renewed signs of life.

Now that cooler weather has returned we anticipate stronger pricing to be reported albeit on weaker sales volumes. In a normal market, rising prices tend to reduce demand and so inhibit sales volume. We saw the opposite behavior in 2004 and 2005 when strong price gains drew in an increased number of buyers in a frenzy of speculation.

Today’s market is relatively well-behaved. Investors are risking their own money rather than borrowed funds, so risk is being more carefully managed.

We believe that 2013 will continue to be a year in which home prices rise and demand remains strong.
