Boulder County real estate still a seller’s market BOULDER – If you’re thinking about selling your Boulder County home, indicators show this is a good time to do so.

The fact is DB WILSON home sellers in RE/MAX of Boulder Boulder County are a rare species. Few home sellers coupled with the lack of construction means that available inventory is low, but is poised to rise on increased pricing in 2017. That lack of inventory is driving the market, says Ken Hotard, senior vice president of public affairs

for the Boulder Area Realtor® Association.

Case in point: October’s condominium and townhome sales in Boulder County saw a 20.1 percent bump with 139 units sold compared to 115 in September.

According to Hotard, that spike likely resulted from the inventory increase of late summer.

Even so, Hotard says overall there is little change in the Boulderarea market’s pattern of low inventory, increasing prices, and decreasing sales.

October’s month-over-month available condo/townhome inventory fell 11 percent in October – 154 units versus last month’s 173.

Year-to-date attached dwellings

sales fell 13.8 percent through October 2016 compared to the same period last year with 1,196 units sold in 2,016 versus 1,388.

Single-family homes monthover-month sales volume dropped a scant 0.2 percent in October compared to September 2016 – 341 versus 348 units.

Year-to-date single-family home sales in the Boulder-area market dipped 11.4 percent through October 2016 – 3,756 homes sold compared to the 4,239 sold in the same period last year.

Single-family inventory dipped 12.7 percent from October to September 2016 in Boulder County with 821 units available for sale this month compared to 941 in September.

Looking ahead, Hotard expects the pattern to continue. “I’m confident that we’ll finish the year out and head into 2017 with the same trends. I would expect seller’s market conditions to continue at least through the first quarter.”

Hotard adds that in this kind of market his best advice is to work with a knowledgeable Realtor, whether you are selling or buying. “It’s competitive, and in a competitive market it’s important to have the best advice you can get.”

Holiday home buying tips LOVELAND – The holidays are upon us and the busiest shopping season of the year is in full swing. Just like gift shopping can get more SUZANNE complicated PLEWES at this time of year, so can your RE/MAX Alliance home shopping.

Here are a few tips to keep in mind as you search for a new home during this time of year.

Making offers Let’s face it, it’s not the most ideal time to buy and sell given the busy schedule and cold weather.

Thus, people who sell and buy homes during the holidays are generally very motivated. If you see a home that you like, don’t delay. Take the opportunity to negotiate without competition from other buyers.

Offer responses When submitting offers around the holidays, allow more time for a response from sellers. If the family is traveling or if one spouse is out of town or otherwise preoccupied, it may take longer for the parties to review and discuss your offer. Being patient will go a long way in negotiating terms in your favor.

Scheduling showings Showings can be more difficult to schedule at this time of year.

Sellers with visiting relatives or holiday events to host may not be able to accommodate showing requests so easily. Submit showing requests with as much advanced notice as possible. This will not only be appreciated by sellers but may also increase your chances of confirming showing appointments.

Setting deadlines It may take a little more time than usual to get your home closed around the holidays.

Make sure that you buffer home inspection, mortgage commitment,

REAL ESTATE

Buying vs. renting LOVELAND – A home is an investment, and it takes time to let that investment take root and grow. “The main goal of homeownership SARAH is to build equity,” said RE/ WARNOCK RE/MAX Alliance MAX Alliance Broker Associate Sarah Warnock.

“You can use the equity you built to help you get into your next home, you can borrow against it for home improvements, vacations, or purchasing a 2nd property.

Depending on the market, which is ever-changing, building equity from owning your own home can propel you into financial opportunities not possible with other investments.”

For those considering renting over buying, Warnock lists the following three tips on why homeownership is more advantageous: No. 1: Tax write-off “Owning your own home

creates a big tax write-off,” said Warnock. “You’re allowed to writeoff the interest that you pay on your mortgage for the year. Interest can definitely accumulate, giving you a nice tax write-off at the end of the year.

Additionally, interest rates are still low, allowing you to afford more today than at other times. A good interest rate is key in keeping your monthly mortgage payment affordable.”

No. 2: Owning a home for less than rent “Currently, the rental market is very competitive,” added Warnock.

“There’s not much available and rents are high. Oftentimes you can actually own your own home for less each month than what you pay in rent. By renting, you are basically contributing each

month to your landlord’s financial portfolio, not your own.”

No. 3: Pride in homeownership “Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of buying vs. renting is the sense of pride that homeownership cultivates,” concluded Warnock.

“Although risk is involved, anything worth having usually involves risk to some extent. It is a proven fact that over time, homeownership is the very best way to accumulate wealth and secure your financial future throughout your lifetime.”

Sarah Warnock has been a Realtor for 14 years and has earned the Graduate, Realtor® Institute (GRI) designation, the Certified Residential Military Specialist designation, and is an e-PRO®. In 2013, Sarah earned the Executive Club Award from RE/MAX and in 2014 and 2015 the 100 Percent Club Award. Sarah was just elected as Chair-Elect to her local real estate board.

Top 10 real estate tips for 2017

By Steve McLinden Bankrate.com (TNS)

Sellers and buyers: Know the state of your market When inventory remains below equilibrium, sellers enjoy more control over prices and terms, and the area becomes a seller’s market.

When inventory lingers well above stasis, you have a buyer’s market where sellers must get more serious about price reductions, credits and throw-ins.

While home prices for starterto-midrange homes are pushing upward toward pre-recession peaks, especially in secondary markets, they’re stabilizing in higher-priced areas.

If mortgage rates rise modestly as expected in 2017, sales elsewhere may normalize with smaller price appreciation, especially as housing starts rise to fill the inventory breach.

Here are 10 tips to adapt to the latest market conditions.

First-time homebuyers: Get that starter home now More than half of the home sales in 2017 are expected to be to first-time buyers, and mostly to the millennial set, many moving from urban rentals, research by the National Association of Realtors shows. That means competition could become fierce in the spring for such “starters” in desirable areas.

While there’ll be less inventory this winter, there’ll also be less competition per unit and a higher percent of motivated sellers.

Sellers: Hire the right agent Oftentimes, the best investment a seller can make is time spent researching agents. A bad hire can cost sellers tens of thousands of dollars and months of worried waiting.

First, look at an agent’s online marketing material and listings.

Then, look at profiles of the agents on LinkedIn, Facebook and other social media; and be sure to read web reviews.

Narrow your search to three agents and interview each. Ask for sales-activity reports, existing listings and time-on-the-market averages, plus the requisite local comps.

A seasoned listing agent also will know the best times for open houses and how to initiate a price war if the market allows. Never consent to a listing contract of longer than 90 days in a seller’s market.

Buyers: There’s more loan money out there Those who couldn’t get mortgages during the downturn because they didn’t have 20 December 9-10, 2016

If mortgage rates rise modestly as expected in 2017, sales elsewhere may normalize with smaller price appreciation, especially as housing starts rise to fill the inventory breach.

percent to put down can find affordable financing again.

Borrowers with FICO scores as low as 690 are now getting conforming mortgage loans.

Borrowers without a 20 percent down payment will still likely pay private mortgage insurance until they hit the 20 percent to 25 percent equity mark.

The best rates go to those with 800-plus credit scores.

Sellers: It may be a seller’s market but...

Home sellers can do several simple things to enhance appearance, increase buyer interest and boost their home’s profile: Renew selectively: Do light makeovers everywhere, with an eye on the kitchen and bathrooms.

Clean, clean and clean some more: It’s hard for buyers to picture themselves living in a dirty house.

Depersonalize, declutter: Show the space, not the contents. Box up family photos, kids’ school papers and excess art.

Illuminate: Open drapes and add brighter light bulbs in dark areas. Repaint where needed but use neutral colors.

Renters: It might be time to buy In many cases, rents are rising faster than home values, yet mortgage rates remain low.

That, and the fact that renters now account for 37 percent of households (the highest level in 50 years), seem to indicate an imminent coming-out party for renters-turned-buyers.

If you’re a buyer, don’t believe the house is yours In heated markets across the country, sales agents are giving buyers false hope and using their offers to bid up the price for preferred buyers who they think can pay more and close faster.

Strategies such as preapproval, proof of funding, closing flexibility and the always-risky practice of waiving inspection and repair contingencies can help sway buyers.

For added clout, tell sellers you’re willing to “escalate,” or exceed all offers to a certain limit.

Sellers: The grass is always greener... ... in yards with a “sold” sign.

Major presale upgrades typically aren’t needed, but a little greening outdoors is a must.

Surveys show that strong curb appeal can increase prices by 10 percent or more. Greener grass, whether derived from new sod or fertilizer and water, is a must.

Sellers typically enjoy a 100 percent return on the money they put into curb appeal.

Daily Camera / Times-Call – AtHomeColorado.com

Sellers: House going on sale in the spring?

Grab your camera or smartphone and do an exterior autumn photo shoot with the leaves changing colors.

It’s a much better way to showcase your home than to wait until late winter when everything is still dead and brown and mucky. Also take some landscape shots after the first snow, ideally on a sunny day, to show how cozy your place looks in winter.

Take a preliminary inventory, too. Look through your attic, closets, basement and garage to see what stored items you’ll want to keep, give away or sell in the spring. This will help you determine whether you’ll need a storage unit when your home is on the market and if there are any problem areas that need repairs or attention.

It’s also a good time to start discussing financing options with a local lender and interview prospective listing agents.

Buyers: Relocating near a waterfront?

You’d best consider weather and insurance realities.

FEMA flood-map changes are aggressively expanding flood zones, especially along the East Coast and Gulf Coast, forcing hundreds of thousands of homeowners to buy flood insurance for the first time and others to pay thousands more annually.

Insurers also are imposing coverage caps so there’s no guarantee you’ll be made whole post-catastrophe.

Some home sellers and their agents are conveniently not disclosing these realities, so buyers will have to ask pointed questions and do their own research.

COVERPROFILE

Established in 1976, WK Real Estate is the largest independently owned full-service real estate company in Boulder County.

WK Real Estate: Polishing Its Brand to Enhance Each Customer’s Experience

I

t has been a glorious year for WK Real Estate. Celebrating its 40th anniversary as a leading Boulder real estate company, it embarked on a major company rebranding.

And even with its new company name, WK Real Estate won for the 16th consecutive year “Best Real Estate Company/Office” in the Daily Camera’s Best Of Boulder County 2016 Awards.

“To be given this award in 2016, after working so hard on rebranding our company to ensure continued success in an ever changing market, reminds us that our REALTORS®, staff and leadership team are just as dedicated to serving clients professionally as ever,” said Lew Kingdom.

WK Real Estate is the largest independent Boulder County real estate company, delivering oldfashioned service with the latest technology. Referral and repeat 10

business make up more than 80 percent of their activity, showing they have earned their customers’ trust and loyalty.

Rebranding a Boulder institution According to Trish Thomas, CEO of Atomic20, WK engaged her agency to lead a rebrand to attract top-tier agents and demonstrate to potential buyers and sellers the strength of WK’s technology and team, preserving the positive legacy of their brand while modernizing their visual identity and message.

The agency was very conscious about retaining the reputation earned by ‘Wright Kingdom’ while updating the company’s external face to be more appealing and relevant. They recommended retaining WK as the name, and continuing use of WKRE.com.

“It was important that the design fit the Boulder lifestyle,

capture the journey of home buyers and sellers, and rise to the level of sophistication, professionalism and advocacy that WK agents deliver for clients every day.

“Our driving strategy was to aim for the future while honoring the past. We also aligned all brand elements with three primary anchors that emerged in WK agents’ relationships with the community and their clients: welcoming, professional and authentic. We had multiple strategists, copywriters, designers and account team members. Almost every element of the company’s external presentation was rebranded: signage, business cards, ads, marketing collateral... it was executed over many months.

“Our partnership with the WK team proved to be so personally rewarding. They are an amazing group of people and have become

fast friends. One small example of a short-term win: Within a few months of launching the new brand, a great agent that WK had been priming to come onboard actually made the decision to join the company based on the power of the new brand and its alignment with their personal values as an agent.

“We believe that together we’ve built a brand that will stand the test of time and represent WK beautifully for years to come.

It really was an honor to be entrusted with rebranding such an iconic local company.”

Ali Kennedy, Account Director at Atomic20, was Project Manager for the rebranding. “The WK team has become like family to us.

WK’s business philosophy starts with a ‘people first’ attitude and culminates in positive outcomes for everyone they touch. This ethos is evident in everything they do. WK genuinely cares about December 9-10, 2016

their agents and the customers they serve. It’s why we say WK doesn’t just help people buy and sell houses, they help people find and create homes.

“Working on the rebrand was an honor and a challenge. There was a fine balance to be struck between maintaining the 40year legacy that WK Real Estate has built and ensuring that the refreshed brand be current and enduring. I believe our talented design team, with Zach Lee at the helm, struck this balance with a classic emblem mark that conveys the warmth and sophistication of the brand it represents.”

Zach Lee, Art Director/Designer, says, “The style of the new WK Real Estate brand is intended to enhance the natural welcoming, authentic and professional feel of the office and its agents. The objective of the redesign was to create a brand that acknowledged its legacy, while aiming it towards the future.”

When he was designing the logo, he constantly thought of the journey of buying and selling a home. “Having sold and bought a home recently, this was fresh in my mind. It’s a very complicated process and the biggest difference is when you feel you have a partner by your side guiding you through the layers of paperwork and negotiations. This journey, this road, becoming a homeowner, is a deeply personal experience.

“Our strategy was to create a visual identity that helped simplify

and streamline the process in any way possible – while retaining the natural personality of the agents. Colors are warm and approachable, and fonts are clean and legible. The logo mark is a monogram that combines the W + K into a stamp-like shape. The W is the mountains; the K (turned on its side) forms a road: Mountains (Colorado) and the Road (the journey).”

Further enhancing the customer’s experience Associate Broker Dan Estey joined WK Real Estate in 2012, and he praises its people and systems. “The staff at WK goes above and beyond to service the agents and the clients. For examples: - WK has a designated digital marketing director focusing exclusively on the critical task of assuring that our properties and agents are optimally presented online. The technologies are evolving so quickly and having a dedicated team member to address this is a huge benefit.

- Each agent has a dedicated transaction coordinator who assists with a numbers of the details and compliance to allow agents to focus on their clients – not paperwork and data input.

- WK also has a full-time relocation director who is invaluable in assisting clients who are relocating into and out of our local market. From providing information on market The logo mark is a monogram that combines the W + K into a stamp-like shape. The W is the mountains; the K (turned on its side) forms a road: Mountains (Colorado) and the Road (the journey).”

data, coordinating the move, and making introductions to brokers and other service providers the director creates a smooth experience for those making long distance moves.

- Local Showing Coordinators.

All of our showings on clients are set here with our local WK staff (not a national call center).

This allows the staff to create a relationship with the clients and assist in working any unique needs they may have.”

Estey was a big advocate for the rebrand. “I thought our graphic representation and marketing materials had become “dated” and were not representative of how progressive and professional the company is. One of the keys was to create a look and image that were contemporary and professional, that inspired confidence in clients.”

He points out, “One of the biggest challenges was continuing to capture the brand equity and good will Wright Kingdom had established over 40 years, and at the same time having an appealing, meaningful brand that attracted those just moving into town.”

The WK Real Estate Experience Judy and Jim Heinze moved to Boulder from New Jersey 43 years ago and settled in a house near Lew Kingdom and his family. They became friends, and over the years, Jim says, “Once we realized the professionalism of that firm we referred so many friends and colleagues from out of state, and even local people.”

Then, three years ago WR Real Estate helped the Heinzes to find a new home – in Lafayette. Lew and then Dan helped them. They looked at a variety of homes. “What makes them outstanding is they were very, very patient with us,” says Judy.

“They showed us many homes over a year until they showed us exactly the home we wanted. And we said that’s it and signed the papers without delay.”

The pair pinpoints a number of areas in which WK excels: “Their extensive knowledge of the Boulder County market, what they do as a service to the Boulder community, understanding what people want and respecting their wishes. They don’t try to talk you into anything.”

Further, the Heinzes say, “Any business that can be as successful as they are over so many years has a good business ethic in dealing with people. They have continued to grow over the years and they’ve stayed current. They offer the newest technology. And now, they see it is time for a change, and they are the same people – with a name change and a new corporate logo.”

STYLE AT HOME

Looks we love for the holidays Every holiday season is a new opportunity to honor your family’s cherished traditions, while also keeping the celebration fresh and fun by trying something brand new. That’s how I like to approach holiday decorating. Today, I want to share with you a few of my favorite looks for the season, and just maybe give you a few new ideas as you dress your home for Christmas...

Grand entrances When decorating your entry, add a splashy display, like this towering bouquet made of bare sticks, pine branches and a little nest, tucked in for good luck. A shiny silver candy dish on the table cradles a sweet collection of vintage tree bulbs in a bed of pine needles.

Spoil guests When friends and family travel to be together for the holidays, it’s a joyful reunion. Old memories are rekindled and new memories are made. I like to make my visitors feel like honored guests by creating a guest room that’s warm and welcoming. It can be as simple as setting out a service of their favorite teas or coffees, served in a special cup.

Lavish mantels It can be easy to get into a rut when decorating your mantel. So this year, challenge yourself to come up with something brandnew. This magnificent garland, a mix of pine needles and leaves, is simple yet stunning as it loops through the mantel’s year-round display.

Bring the garden in After you clean out your planters for the winter, bring a few inside for your holiday decorating.

Garden architectural elements connect us to the outdoors and give us a fine place to stage displays, whether it’s holding logs for the fire or your Christmas tree.

Decorate a light fixture If you are looking for a way to decorate your home for maximum impact with minimum work, try dressing up some of your light fixtures. Add greenery and ribbons to the chandelier over your kitchen island or dining table. Or, jazz up some wall sconces.

Beautiful bouquets Scout through your china cabinet for a special vase or pitcher or urn, like a family keepsake or a favorite find from antiquing. Then, fill it with holiday greenery to make a lovely centerpiece for your coffee table or ottoman.

Quiet christmas morning Holiday tables don’t have to be lavish. Dan and I enjoy a quiet Christmas morning bite in our kitchen, the calm before family flocks in for a big Christmas feast.

Toss a vintage tablecloth over your kitchen table, add a bouquet of fresh flowers, a few candy canes in a little pitcher, and you’re ready.

Stylish storage During the holidays, your china gets to dance out of the cupboard and sparkle on your table. Take a moment to rearrange your

cabinets so they look like a piece of art.

Creative centerpieces What do you have in your china hutch that you could use to make a unique centerpiece for your holiday table? We created this lovely display with a few odds and ends in my cupboard _ an old silver riser, a glass bowl and a stemmed glass. Fresh fruit and flowers, all in shades of green and white, give it a fresh finish.

Dining details Sometimes the tiniest details have the biggest impact on your table. Try tucking a fresh sprig of rosemary into your napkin rings when you entertain. It’s a clever way to add both color and flavor to your table.

ASK THE EXPERT

Radon testing BOULDER – What is Radon and why should I test for it? Radon is a cancer-causing radioactive gas. You cannot see, smell or taste radon, but it may be a problem in your home. The Surgeon General has warned that indoor radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today after smoking.

It is a common misconception that certain areas of the United States are not at risk for radon.

including real estate transactions, homeowners and prospective homeowners prefer the testing be done by a qualified professional.

The EPA recommends mitigation for your home if the test results are 4 pCi/L or higher.

Radon mitigation systems can cost between $550 and $2,500 depending on the size of the house and type of construction.

Homes with unfinished basements or crawl spaces tend to be toward the lower end of the price range.

In fact radon can be found in high levels in every state in the country; it doesn’t discriminate between new or old homes, brick or wood frame, basement or no basement. Testing is the only way to know your home’s radon levels. There are no immediate symptoms that will alert you to the presence of high radon levels. The U.S. EPA, the Surgeon General and the American Lung Association recommend having

Chris Bhebhe – RE/MAX Nexus

Flatirons Home Inspections

Relationship building and helping others reach their dreams are the motivations behind RE/MAX Nexus’ newest Agent, Chris Bhebhe becoming a Realtor.

Chris Bhebhe

A native of South Africa, Bhebhe was born in Johannesburg, and emigrated with his family to the US in 2004. “My parents wanted better opportunities for my sisters and me,” Bhebhe explains. Passing on his family’s values of working hard and taking advantage of opportunities for growth is important to Bhebhe, who comments, “My family made it possible for me to have a better life, and now I want to be the spark for others so they can also reach their dreams.”

After traveling the country and living in several places, Bhebhe decided on Colorado as his home. He now lives in Firestone with his wife and two children. “I love it here,” he said. “The weather, the view…it’s all amazing, and the Nexus office is convenient to everywhere.”

Bhebhe’s interest in sales and his desire to help people achieve their dreams helped convince him that a Real Estate Agent might be the best profession for him. Working with clients will also provide him with the outcome of developing relationships both in the community and in the Real Estate industry. “I want my clients to know that I am always there for them, to make the process of buying their dream home as uncomplicated and supportive as possible. I want my clients to know that I am there with them every step of the way.”

RE/MAX Nexus Broker/Owner Abby Renner commented, “We are so extremely pleased to have Chris join our office. His community approach and amazing customer service skills will be a significant benefit to clients and our local area.”

your home tested. Winter is an ideal time to test your home for radon as doors and window must be kept shut as much as possible during the test period.

Radon testing can be done by the home owner with a onetime use kit that is mailed to a lab for testing. These do it yourself kits can be purchased on line or in your local hardware store. In most cases however,

MORTGAGE

Boulder County Gold Award

Finally, mortgages for self employed borrowers in the marijuana industry BOULDER – The 2016 US election created good news for the marijuana industry. Eight states legalized marijuana for either medical or recreational use. MICHAELA This means that PHILLIPS over half of the Guaranteed Rate, Inc. US states have legalized marijuana. With this news comes more industry, income and opportunity for individuals involved in this growing industry.

When it comes to purchasing a home, many borrowers that work in the marijuana industry have come up against battles creating major headaches. Even though Fannie Mae will allow a W2’d employee to use their income to qualify for a mortgage, most large banks and credit unions still deny this borrower.

When I started talking about mortgages for employees in the marijuana industry, my focus was solely on letting potential buyers know that they had financing options if they owned less than 25% of the company and/or received a salary in the industry. Now I am happy to share that there are options for self-employed individuals in the industry as well. The alternative to a Fannie Mae loan is working with a Portfolio lender. A Portfolio lender typically holds on to the mortgage, they do still evaluate credit, income and assets when approving a mortgage, however, they associate this with the risk involved and offer an interest rate accordingly. Most Portfolio lenders offer an adjustable rate vs. fixed, but this can still be a better option versus no loan at all.

With good credit and documented income, a marijuana business owner can apply for a mortgage with only 10% down. For those with a lower credit score, there are still options but a higher down payment may be required.

What does this mean for potential buyers? If you have been working hard and paying taxes in the cannabis industry, you may now qualify for a mortgage.

Independent contractors who have a relationship with the marijuana industry now have an option to count marijuana-related income toward mortgage qualification.

As a self-employed borrower the same guidelines will still come into play; a minimum two year employment history with the same company, two years tax returns for income qualification and sufficient assets will be required. I am hopeful that as we continue to see more legalization in the marijuana industry, we will continue to have more options for financing home purchases.

More decorating mistakes to avoid BOULDER – Oh, my, my, my. Decorating mistakes are so easy to make, especially for those who don’t have a “design eye” and years of experience. A few KAREN weeks ago, At LIBIN Home published KL Realty an article entitled, “Are you making these rookie decorating mistakes?”

(November 4-5 edition) We at KL Realty nodded in agreement as we read it, as we often see these mistakes during showings and open houses. It’s a shame to see these missteps because we know they diminish a home’s appeal for the owners and the potential buyers. Before we put a house on the market, we usually advise our clients on how to best present their home. Often a fresh eye and a few simple changes make all the difference. Whether you’re planning on selling your house soon or in many years, here’s a few more design mistakes you’ll want to avoid.

Too big upholstered furniture Lots of people love buying these big, puffy sofas and chairs as they are like sitting on comfy marshmallows. Often people purchase them after seeing them in big showroom where they don’t look as large without thinking how they will fit in their home.

In medium or small rooms these pieces are simply too big and make the space feel overstuffed.

Getting properly sized furniture for a room is one of the most important design decisions one

can make and one that’s frequently incorrectly done by first-time furniture buyers.

Random furniture piece to fill a space Sometimes people have a small room or large hallway that they don’t know how to decorate.

Frequently in these situations people will put an extra sofa or chair against a wall. If the piece is not connected with other objects – such as an ottoman, a rug, end table, artwork and/or a large basket or vessel - it can feel awkward, like a random piece of furniture that just shouldn’t be there. A table with or without a chair is often a good option for these spaces.

Everything in a beige/brown mid-tones Many people who have no “design eye” seem to feel safe choosing everything in a midtone beige/brown - furniture, drapes, linens – usually to go with the same color carpet, tile and counters. In theory, this is smart as it matches, it doesn’t show dirt and is neutral. In reality, it is amazingly boring and depressing.

There needs to be contrast and various color hues (depths of color) to make design interesting and lively.

Overuse of accent color, pattern or texture This comes from the logic: If a little is good, a lot is better, right?

Wrong! Accent colors, patterns and textures are like hot sauce: a few dashes do the trick without overpowering. Faux fur accents, such as pillows or throws, are really in style right now. But you

Many people seem to feel safe choosing everything in a mid-tone beige/brown - furniture, drapes, linens – usually to go with the same color carpet, tile and counters. In theory, this is smart as it matches, it doesn’t show dirt and is neutral. In reality, it is amazingly boring and depressing.

wouldn’t want all your bedding or upholstered furniture swathed in it or it will look like a coyote’s den. Same with plaid and metallic accents.

Pictures too small and far apart The previous article mentioned artwork hung too high; so many people do this, especially guys. But another cringe-worthy thing we see is itty-bitty pictures hung far apart from each other like teeth that have gaps in between. Framed artwork should be fairly large and in relation to your wall size.

Collections of artwork should be placed fairly close together. If you want to use very small pieces, such as family photos or kids’ artwork, group a bunch of them together in similar frames.

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.

Bed with pathetic, anemic pillows Nothing looks less inviting in a bedroom than a bed with a few small, scrappy pillows in ratty old cases. On the other hand, a bed with European pillows and several plump regular-sized ones with fresh linens looks attractive and welcoming. Some folks (usually one-half of a couple) roll their eyes at the perceived silliness of so many pillows on a bed, but whether or not this many pillow make sense, they do look inviting and cozy.

HOME AND GARDEN

Gifts from the heart BOULDER – When the season quiets, gardeners find time to reflect on the past, musing on how much the garden benefits us. With warm CAROL thoughts we O’MEARA reminisce over Colorado State harvests and University Extension flowers, the Boulder County smell of the earth, and lay plans for next year when the soil warms again.

As you’re wandering those paths in your mind, add in a thought for sharing that connection to the garden with others this year. In lieu of gifts, a donation to help a non-profit is a wonderful way to reach out and show your community you care. If you missed Colorado Gives Day, you still can make a difference in your community. “There are a lot of places and ways to give, but in supporting local programs it’s our youth and

our communities you’re helping,� says Alyssa McConkey, Executive Director of Loveland Youth Gardeners. “To give a gift to our program in someone’s name you’re impacting a life in a way that giving that person a sweater can’t do – supporting young people who are struggling and making sure youth have resources they need to thrive.�

Loveland Youth Gardeners (lovelandyouthgardeners.org) changes lives through growing food. Working with at-risk and special needs kids, LYG gives young people, who may be struggling, a way to develop life skills through connection to the earth, food systems, each other, and their community.

Loveland Youth Gardeners programs are a continuum; many kids are involved several summers in a row and move into entrepreneurial projects. By working with small groups, LYG youth put in up to 120 plus hours each for a combined total of over 4,000 hours in skill development, community service, and personal

growth.

Dedication to preserving some of our fragile species is the mission of the Colorado Natural Heritage Program (cnhp. colostate.edu). As habitats shrink or undergo changes, plants and animals feel the impact. The CNHP monitors threatened species and habitats, working to improve conservation of our biological resources.

Partnering and collaborating with a network of conservation organizations, the CNHP conducts research, supports the research of others, maintains an inventory of rare and endangered species, identifies locations and habitats of threatened species, map natural communities, and performs a host of critical information sharing projects.

CNHP is a nonprofit, sponsored program of the Warner College of Natural Resources, Department of Fish, Wildlife & Conservation Biology at Colorado State University.

Growing Gardens (growinggardens.org) encourages

people to give where they live to support horticultural therapy, food security, and youth development programs.

Working in the Boulder County community, Growing Gardens operates community gardens, the Cultiva Youth Project, The Children’s Peace Garden, The Food Project Farm, and offers gardening classes.

Consider these or other nonprofits as a change up to your gift giving this year. You’ll reap the rewards of a stronger community plus help make the lives of others a bit brighter.

Colorado State University Extension, together with Boulder County Parks and Open Space, provides unbiased, research-based information about consumer and family issues, horticulture, natural resources, agriculture and 4-H youth development. For more information contact Extension at the Boulder County Fairgrounds, 9595 Nelson Rd., Box B, Longmont, 303.678.6238, or visit ext.colostate.edu/boulder.

This year is the first time I have noticed condensation on the living room windows. This room has a crawl space while the rest of the house has an unfinished basement with heat and air to it. Seems the basement is much damper than usual this year as well, and I found some surface mildew on items down there.

The living room windows have storms that have been there for 10-plus years. The furnace is checked every year, and I’m told all is OK with it. There are small vents in the crawl space/ foundation. Should they be open or blocked for the winter? What other suggestions do you have?

I am a retired lady and need a budget-friendly solution.

A: Depending on your geographical location, crawlspace vents should be treated differently.

I live in the Midwest in a mixedhumid climate. In this type of climate, I suggest opening the vents in the winter and closing them in the summer. The idea is to control the humidity inside the crawlspace.

If there is only a minimal amount of humidity preset, i.e. a very dry crawlspace, the vents can be left closed year-round. If the crawlspace floods, regardless of the season, the vents should be opened to help dry out the crawlspace. When the humidity levels in the crawlspace are higher than the humidity levels outside the crawlspace, the vents should be open. Close the vents when the humidity outside is higher.

The sudden moisture change at the windows can be caused by various conditions inside the home. The fact that you believe

your basement is much damper than normal leads me to believe you may have drainage issues on the exterior of the home. It is extremely important to drain water away from the home for several reasons.

Ensure gutters and downspouts are not clogged and are draining at least six feet away from the foundation. If the grading of the yard looks like it is not sloped to carry surface water away from the house, it will need to be regraded.

Have someone check the roof and exterior walls for any obvious signs of water entry and repair if needed. As for the crawlspace, make sure you have a good vapor barrier (plastic sheeting) covering all of the exposed ground inside the crawlspace. The vapor barrier prevents moisture from the ground getting into the crawlspace and home.

Many times I have seen your foundation configuration of a combined basement and

crawlspace with different moisture environments because one area is heated/cooled and the other has vents to the outside such as you have described. I suggest permanently closing the exterior crawlspace vents and providing a screen-covered opening between the crawlspace and basement. This allows for better moisture and temperature control of both the basement and crawlspace.

Your air conditioner is a dehumidifier and that’s why most moisture problems do not appear in the summer months. Adding a dehumidifier to the basement will help to control the indoor humidity problems.
