surprising sandpiper Village

I

try not to pre-judge things, but when you’ve lived in the same place for more than a little while, you can start to think you’ve seen most every neighborhood. When I decided to go visit a new mobile-home listing in Carpinteria last week, I thought I knew where I was going and what to expect. Boy, was I wrong.

I turned off the freeway at Santa Claus Lane, and before I even got to the park, I passed an orchid nursery, an avocado

ranch, a dog boarding camp, and a miniature horse farm. This variety of sights was all within a quaint quarter-mile area, with the mountains on one side and the ocean on the other. I realized that I had taken the scenic route, but the picturesque detour was well worth the drive.

As I entered Sandpiper Village, I again chose the long way around. Driving along streets with names such as Beach Street, Sunset View, and Pacific View Drive, I smiled at the pretty landscaping, the obvi-

make myself at home

by Sarah Sinclair The home is situated to enjoy both mountain views from the front porch and a peek of the ocean from the back bedroom.

Laundry, a carport, and a storage shed in the back provide all of the amenities of a “real” home.

I learned that the clubhouse I had passed on my way in offers a pool, spa, tennis courts, a gym, and even a dog park for year-round, on-site recreation. Of course, Santa Claus Lane and its beautiful beach are practically next door, and downtown Carpinteria is just down the road.

My visit to Sandpiper Village left me feeling like I had uncovered another hidden jewel in our community: a mobilehome park that looks, acts, and feels much more like a seaside resort.

ous pride-of-ownership, and the quiet, beachy, country-lane atmosphere. A playhouse was a sign that this was an all-ages park, and a beagle sitting in the sun told me that, yes, pets are allowed.

I found home #204 toward the back in what appeared to be a quiet corner of the quiet section of the park. The sunny yellow exterior and friendly, flower-laden porch beckoned me up a short staircase to the front door. Once inside, I was surprised by the spacious, modern interior with angled walls and high ceilings. The front room is an airy living room/dining room combo with big windows and lots of light. The kitchen is behind a clever alcove, which separates the spaces yet keeps the feeling open. The kitchen itself is cute, efficient, and retro in feel. Its green-edged, white countertops echo the unexpected angles of the front room with an off-kilter counter, offering both personality and additional prep space.

A hallway leads back to the two bedrooms and two full baths, with a side door out to the backyard, where there’s enough room for a garden and even an outdoor-patio eating area.

recent study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory found that home buyers would pay $15,000 more for a house if it came with an average-sized photovoltaic array (3.8 kilowatt PV system). The study used regional appraisers familiar with their specific markets to compare the sale of homes with and without PVs in six states scattered across the country.

This multi-state report analyzed the sales of 43 pairs of comparable houses. One house in each pair had photovoltaics, while the other did not. The team started with a pool of 208 solarequipped, recently sold homes. But after an initial screening, only 20 percent (43) were investigated in depth because of the challenge of finding closely comparable homes without a solar

by Dennis Allen array that had also sold in the near past.

Why is this research important? Most home mortgage underwriters require that the salescomparison approach be used in an appraisal. So if one’s home has a PV system but there isn’t another close-by, recently sold, similar property also with a solar system, the result is often a zero value assigned to the PV system. Thus, this “first-of-its-kind” study comparing home valuation by appraisers with “statistically derived” comparisons now gives the appraisal and lending industry a guide to use — one based on paired-sales analysis for evaluating homes with photovoltaics when comparable sales are not available.

With solar energy on the upsurge in the U.S.— U.S. 40 percent of all new electric-generating capacity brought online in the first half of 2015 — this study provides an additional incentive for home owners to go solar. They can now be assured that they will recoup their investment whenever they do sell. Another nudge to act now is the 30 percent federal tax credit for photovoltaics that sunsets at the end of 2016.

It may disappear completely after that date or be greatly diminished.

Those of us in the green building/remodeling industry have frequently been frustrated by low or zero values for green features built into our projects when appraisals are conducted, mostly because of unfamiliarity or lack of industry guidelines for the appraisers to consult. At least with solar arrays, this should no longer be the case.

laundry machine can use between 10 and 45 gallons per wash load, depending on whether it’s a high-efficiency or toploading washer. Changing your laundry outflow to a landscape gray-water system is a great way to reuse water at your home and reduce your water bills. Learn more about gray-water systems (and potential rebates on them) at santabarbaraca.gov/waterwise, or check out the Laundry to Landscape DVD at your local library. The site also holds information on the rebates available on new highefficiency clothes washers. —Madeline Ward, City of Santa Barbara, Public Works
