Style at Home:

New year, new bedroom

By Katie Laughridge Every year I try to set goals for myself, as one does, and my New Year’s resolution for 2022 is to get more rest. With a baby on the way, I can see how I might be setting myself up for failure, just as my 2021 plan to eat heathier went a bit off the rails. Nonetheless, setting goals (achievable or not) is often what keeps us moving forward. At least I can use my resolution this year as an excuse to give my bedroom a makeover, and that’s something I can get behind 100%!

With so many wonderful designs constantly being introduced, I find it hard to settle on just one that I want to feature in our primary bedroom. Every time I walk through our beautiful beds, it seems I develop a new duvet obsession. Since I can’t change my bedding every other week (my husband and I disagree on how many looks for one room is too many), I have been keeping track of my favorite versatile looks for this exact moment. Since Brandon hasn’t yet figured out the loophole of different bed pillows (if your stash of shams can’t be found, do they even exist?!), these enduring duvets are perfect for mixing and matching and switching it up for years to come.

Dreamy Denim

Denim-colored linen is a perfect textile for a versatile duvet. Each reincarnation of this deniminspired bedding features a new fair of pattern or color to accompany it. This unique linen is sturdy enough to ground a bed but light and airy enough to not weigh down your room. It stands up to strong pops of color from Kelly green to crimson and can blend seamlessly with neutrals and complementary blues. Its subtle texture is also perfect for pattern pairing, so no need to hold back when ordering playful throw pillows.

Timeless neuTral

It is hard to beat a simple but elegant neutral toned ready-made. This option is cost-efficient and never goes out of style. A neutral duet draws your eye to the small details, whether that be a lovely trim or a luxurious statement pillow. This is the perfect style for someone who wants to switch up their pillows seasonally since anything goes! Warm it up or cool it down, a neutral duvet goes with any room style.

ClassiC blaCk winDowpane plaiD

You know I couldn’t finish a Top 3 favorite list without bringing in a plaid option. Not only am I shamelessly obsessed with plaid, but menswear-inspired decor is having a moment and, in my humble opinion, it’s here to stay. I adore a masculine bedding look that I can still put my own spin on — it is a win-win for me and the hubs. The great thing about this duvet is the ability to mix in other plaids throughout the year. The simplicity of the colors makes it a blank canvas for all my checked and tartan whims.

A bedding set with longevity is the gift that keeps on giving. While I may fall prey to a flavor of the year (or season) still, at least I always know that I can transition one of these looks into a beautiful and stunning guest bedroom.

Your Handyman

By Mark Baird

Synthetic Decking vs Redwood Question: My husband and I are planning to finally build our “dream deck” off the back of our home and want it to be an inviting area for barbequing and a gathering place for our family, but also want it to add to the value of our home. I’ve been doing a little online research about the plastic decking boards, they really are attractive, and the advertising claims synthetic decking doesn’t need any maintenance.

What do you think of synthetic decking versus real redwood?

Your HandYMan: A well planned deck will not only add to the value of your home but will also enhance your family’s quality of life by creating a new living space for meals, family gatherings or a quiet private space to relax. There are many brands of synthetic deck boards to consider that offer colors and styles that can not be created with traditional redwood or pine decking. The first major brand of synthetic decking was Trex which often is used by people as a generic name for this type of deck board. However, there are some potential problems with synthetic decking that you should factor into your design process that often seem to be a little understated in the manufacturer’s sales brochures.

One concern is how do you repair a scrape or gouge caused by someone dragging a piece of furniture or an umbrella stand across the deck, or repair a burned spot caused by a groundout cigarette or a spilled charcoal briquette? A properly installed redwood deck can easily be sanded and resealed while a gouge or burn in a synthetic deck is a permanent problem that can’t be sanded out or filled without making the damage even more noticeable.

Another possible concern is mildew if your deck is in a shady area or located

in an area with high humidity near the beach. Most synthetic decking has a textured wood grain pattern on the top surface which can hold moisture in a shady location where unsightly mildew and slippery algae can grow creating a new maintenance chore for the homeowner. Irregular fading was a past issue with some synthetic decking brands that I believe has been resolved but I have seen numerous older decks that have had many boards that had faded creating a mottled sort of appearance to the deck.

I personally prefer the look of redwood for decks but should add that the price of quality redwood decking has really gone up substantially over the past 10 years. If your contractor submits a bid for redwood be sure to have him list the grade of redwood he is bidding on and then go to the lumber yard to take a look. There are several grades of redwood deck boards with the higher grades being the most attractive but there are big jumps in price as you go up to the higher grades. Also make sure that no matter what decking you select that your contractor will fasten the boards from the bottom and there will be no screw heads exposed on the surface which is the preferred installation method.

Exposed screw or nail heads detract from the look of any deck and on a redwood deck they make sanding and resealing difficult to the point of almost being impossible.

With both synthetic decking and redwood decking, the framing structure of joists, beams and posts that supports the deck boards will have to be made from regular framing lumber that is susceptible to water and termite damaged. Only the actual decking boards are available in synthetic materials, however I have seen recent ads for synthetic decking supports made from steel, but I have not seen them in use.

Real Estate Q&A:

I have no debt but a low credit score.

How can I get association approval to purchase condo?

By Gary M. Singer

Questions I am having trouble getting approved to buy a condo due to my lack of credit. I do not use a credit card and have more than enough money saved up to purchase my new home without a mortgage.

Because I have no debt, my credit score is low and I am being denied approval by the association. What can I do?

– Rose

As many as 1 in 5 adults in the United States do not get a traditional credit score but could receive a score with new approaches.

Answer

Many community associations have the right to screen prospective buyers. While an association may not discriminate, it can look at income, credit score and other objective factors.

While it is commendable to have no debt and avoid the temptations that come with credit cards, a solid credit score is helpful.

For example, your credit history can be used to determine the price you pay for insurance and, as you have found out, whether you can purchase a new home.

There are reasons why a credit score can indicate whether someone will timely pay their association dues.

Even so, the system is far from perfect, as you know.

Your first step is to speak with the association and explain why your credit score is low. Ask them to look beyond the score at the details.

Another option is offering to prepay a year of association dues to alleviate any concerns. Because you are not a member of the association, it does not have to deal with you, so you should get the seller involved to lobby for your approval.

I have found that most associations will take a deeper look and work with a prospective buyer in situations such as yours.

If this does not work, you may need to look for a condo in a more flexible community. Each association has different standards, and some do not even look at credit scores.

Another option is to build your credit score. Plenty of resources will walk you through establishing credit to raise your score quickly.

Purple Protea The Purple Protea is Andrews’s 1,000th fine art photo. This artistic feat took him more than 2 years. He created an average of more than 1 work of art a day, artistically photographing objects in and around Los Angeles, California. The creator of CoolColorPhotos, Andrew specializes in creating vibrant colorful photographic art, art that buyers can use to add an instant eyecatching pop of color to any wall or space.

According to Andrew, “Fine art photography kept me sane and healthy for 2 years during the Covid pandemic. I went out every day, drove/walked around L.A. taking pictures, then spent time creatively editing the images, all the while avoiding indoor and outdoor groups of possibly contagious people, and I got some excellent exercise walking. I did this every day. I still do it.”

Formerly, Andrew was a high fashion photographer for over 20 years, with over 10,000 fashion photos to his credit. His photos of designer dresses and gowns for 1stdibs dealer, Marilyn Glass, are known worldwide.

“Among the oldest families of flowers on earth, dating back 300 million years, Greek legend tells us that protea were named after Proteus, the son of Poseidon. With its mythological associations to change and transformation, it’s not surprising that in the language of flowers, protea symbolizes diversity and courage.” - Teleflora

In 2019, and during the pandemic, he turned to creating cool colorful fine art photographs of nature; flowers and plants, sky, trees as well as abstract art. Examples of his work can be seen on his website https://coolcolorphotos.com and all his 1,000 works of art can be viewed online at Fine Art America https://fineartamerica. com/profiles/andrewlawrence.

His artist endeavor has been beneficial.

California photographic artist, Andrew Lawrence, has achieved an artistic milestone. He has created his 1,000th work of art.

A note from the SBAOR President

HOA Homefront

Plenty New in 2022

By Bob Walsmith, Jr. President of the Santa Barbara Association of REALTORS®

By Kelly G. Richardson, Esq. CCAL

2022 CAR Winter Meetings One of the many privileges of being the 2022 Santa Barbara Association of Realtors (SBAOR) President is that I am lucky enough to attend various meetings during the year sponsored by the California Association of Realtors (CAR) and the National Association of Realtors (NAR). The first such meeting is being conducted next week by CAR. It was supposed to be held in Monterey, but due to the pandemic it will be done virtually.

I think that a huge misconception that the public has about real estate agents is that they just represent their clients in buying or selling a home and put out open house signs on weekends. Oh, and cash large commission checks. Believe me, there is much more that professional Realtors do on a day-to-day basis.

Realtors care deeply about their communities, the environment, the economy, the rules and regulations that affect us all, and of our neighbors, just to name a few things.

These meetings that I am about to attend, along with a few other dedicated local Realtors and our wonderful staff at the SBAOR, deal with serious subjects that are affecting us all and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.

Subjects such as affordable housing, more housing, fair housing, tenants’ rights, taxes, climate change, are just a few of the very important topics that will be discussed next week.

I would like to point some topics that I will definitely be keeping my eye on next week.

Affordable Housing. I know more than most because I live in Santa Barbara, just how expensive it is not just to buy a home, but to even afford a decent rental. With the average home price in our area last year at almost $4.0 million and the median sales price being around $1.8 million, how can the average family afford the ‘American Dream?’ This is a topic that is of vital importance and needs to be carefully thought out and discussed so that more families can achieve what a great many of us take for granted.

More Housing. It is estimated that in California alone, there is a shortage of over 4.0 million housing units. That is a staggering number. And it is only getting worse.

There seems to be no easy answer to this problem. What if a community wants to stay ‘small’ and doesn’t want to grow too much?

Don’t they have the right? However, don’t residents have the right to want to not cram in a small apartment? California ranks third in the country for occupants per household.

Fair Housing. It is a continuing struggle to make sure that landlords, real estate agents, home sellers, builders, mortgage lenders, etc. treat people equally, fairly and void of discrimination. A lot of us take this for granted

and/or don’t think it exists but it does and we need to eliminate it all together.

California Coastline. Smart Coast California is an organization that was founded in 2019 to promote and advocate for private property rights and smart land use policies affecting California’s 1,100 miles of coastline.

People from all over the world travel here to live and play on our beaches for its beauty and amusement. We need to make sure that we make smart decisions on how to protect our coast for those living here now and also for future generations. We even have two local Realtors on the Board of Directors of this great organization.

Government Affairs. Not many people know that Realtors and staff are very active in meeting with local government agencies to make sure that the interests of our clients and constituents are being heard and implemented. There is a large amount of work that goes on behind the scenes to insure that the members of our community always feel like we are working for them.

Home Insurance Premiums. With California experiencing wildfires in record numbers the past few years, most notably locally the Thomas Fire and Debris Flow, trying to find affordable home insurance can sometimes be a difficult task. Premiums can vary widely from house to house on a given street.

Realtors are constantly working with government agencies and insurance companies to try and find rates that don’t break a family’s budget wide open.

Professional Standards. This is a topic that is close to my heart. Most Realtors are extremely ethical and hold their clients interests at the forefront of everything that they do. But we can always do better. To strive to make our profession better each and everyday is something that we all should aspire to do.

Land Use and the Environment. Realtors and our allies are at the forefront of trying to find ways to better use the land that we have and to protect the environment in which we all live and breathe. We only have so much land and as we all know these days, our environment is a very fragile thing. We must constantly strive to be better stewards of our land and our environment.

As you can see from this list of topics that will be covered next week, Realtors are not just worried about where to position their open house signs or how to spend their next commission check, but they are concerned and fighting for the same things the rest of the public is thinking about.

The next time you talk to a Realtor, ask them about any of these very important topics, or anything else that might be on your mind. You might also want to thank them for all that they do for you and your neighbors!

Many laws are changing for California HOAs this year, and here is a recap of the most important changes.

Longer deadline for petitioned membership meeting. If at least 5% of members petition for a special membership meeting, the meeting must now be held within 35 to 150 days after the HOA receives the petition. (Corporations Code Section 7511(c)).

Term limits again allowed. For HOAs with board term limits, new Civil Code Section 5103(d)(2) confirms that term limits can be an eligibility requirement along with the four optional eligibility requirements of Civil Code Section 5105(c).

Election by acclamation. If there are only enough candidates for the open seats, new Civil Code Section 5103 allows the board to declare the candidates elected if the HOA has sent the required notices and if the HOA has had at least one election with votes counted in the prior three years. HOAs may wish to update their election rules and require the necessary notices to be sent to preserve this cost-saving option.

Disseminating personal data. New Civil Code 5230(c) prohibits either the HOA or its management to sell or transfer personal information on members to third parties. Previously, some management firms under their contracts provide that they sell or transmit member data to outside organizations, but this is now prohibited.

Websites as bulletin boards. New Civil Code Section 4045(a)(5) allows HOAs to use their websites for general notices so long as the Annual Policy Statement says so.

Rental restrictions. HOAs are required to remove illegal rental restrictions from governing documents per Civil Code Section 4741 by July 1, 2022. A revision to Civil Code Section 4741(f ) opens a six-month period be-

ginning January 1 and ending July 1, 2022, in which illegal rental restrictions in CC&Rs may be removed by board vote without a membership vote. An announcement must be published to the membership at least 28 days before the board vote to approve the amendment.

Most HOA CC&Rs do not contain illegal “unreasonable”rental restrictions, but if they do, legal counsel should be involved to ensure the amendment is necessary and stays within the narrow limits of the revised Section 4741(f ).

Financial Controls. For HOAs of 50 or less memberships, a new Civil Code Section 5502(a)(1) lowers the threshold triggering the requirement of written board approval for financial transfers from $10,000 or 5% of budget to $5,000.

Purely virtual HOA meetings. Under an urgency statute in effect since September 2021, during local, state or federally declared emergencies preventing meetings, a new Civil Code Section 5450 allows board or membership meetings to be 100% electronic (with no physical attendance) so long as a prescribed initial announcement is made to all members, and issues further required announcements prior to each fully virtual meeting. All board votes must be by roll call vote, and in membership meetings at which votes are counted the Inspector’s counting must be on camera.

HOAs still may have “hybrid” meetings, so long as normal Open Meeting Act requirements are met.

Safe At Home program. For HOA members participating in the relatively new “Safe At Home” program, a new Civil Code Section 5216 requires that HOAs use the address designated by the Secretary of State for that owner and may not share their name, address, or email address with other HOA members.

On Gardening:

Today’s garden plot becoming urbanized, revolutionized

By Norman Winter One morning a news flash came across my phone, saying: “A major food shortage is coming again in the United States.” That headline coupled with what we are seeing in the places we shop is enough to cause a level of anxiety.

Deep down we have the feeling that we should grow some of our own food. You may be thinking you want to but don’t have room for a garden, or your HOA will not let you.

I assure you that the vegetable garden has become urbanized and revolutionized over the past few years for a couple of reasons.

The first is thanks to great new varieties of tomatoes, peppers, herbs and even berries that fit today’s garden to perfection. The second reason is thanks to Brie Arthur, a visionary horticulturist and author of “The Foodscape Revolution: Finding a Better Way to Make Space for Food and Beauty in Your Garden.”

I’ll explain the importance of the foodscape in a minute.

Whether it is in rural areas, historic districts or the newest neighborhood, garden

plots have gotten smaller. Even the wellknown community garden projects that display raised beds or boxes are a far cry from the farm-type plot of our grandparents’ era.

This small garden concept is not just here, but in Europe as well. I follow several UK gardeners on Instagram who refer to their garden as their allotment. An allotment is roughly 300 square feet, which may seem like a luxury in today’s modern neighborhoods. All of this has led to a host of new, compact vegetables. Tomatoes are, of course, first when it comes to popularity with those wanting to grow edibles.

Determinate or semi-determinate varieties are typically recommended for caging and their easy fit into a controlled garden space.

The award-winning Tempting Tomatoes Garden Gem is a prime example. Then there are new patio varieties like Tempting Tomatoes Goodhearted, another award winner from Proven Winners, and Patio Sunshine, which opens the door even wider, enticing everyone to grow some even if it is in a container or hanging basket.

Tomatoes aren’t the only varieties going compact. Proven Winners has peppers like Fire Away Hot and Heavy, Amazel Basil and Pesto Besto basil that will entice you to hone your culinary skills. The plants that really found favor with daughter-in-law Sarah and the princess Emma Grace are the award-winning strawberries Berried Treasure Red, and Pink. They have taken the new urban vegetable garden by storm with beautiful flowers and tasty fruit.

Once a child participates in growing vegetables and fruits, he or she will also want to partake in the eating of their crop. No way will the children pass up eating Proven Winners Dragon Tongue green beans. Consequently, this child becomes the gardener of the future. So whether you are a parent or a grandparent, get them started.

In many allotments, community gardens and small modern neighborhood private plots, the garden is constructed on raised beds and enclosed or separated from lawn areas with wood or rocks. This not only gives you

Tempting Tomatoes Goodhearted is an award-winning tomato looking good and ready in this landscape or should we say foodscape.

the best in drainage and aeration, but keeps the encroaching grass out. I even bought an interlocking kit at the grocery store.

But as Brie Arthur points out in “The Foodscape Revolution,” it is precisely the raised-box bed that homeowner associations want to limit to the not-seen area of the backyard. So the front yard goes unused for growing produce. Imagine, on the other hand, a beautiful flower bed with the yellow fruited Tempting Tomato variety Patio Sunshine partnered with Unplugged So Blue salvia.

Think what you can do with red tomatoes or peppers. Now you get the idea.

You are probably wondering what to grow.

Easy answer is, just grow what you like to eat!

Santa Barbara Association of Realtors Real Estate Market Year-in-Review 2021 Santa Barbara South Coast

By Jackie Walters, Village Properties

A lifestyle like no other!

The beauty, grace and vitality that defines Santa Barbara South Coast living is officially no longer a “secret.” Desirability amongst eager buyers to make Santa Barbara their home is off the charts. We remain in a strong sellers’ market, and the unprecedented level of real estate activity has broken records. In a sellers’ market there is more demand for homes than there is supply and it is buyers who have to be prepared for competition. We do believe sales activity over the past two years represents a market “shift” vs. a seasonal, more predictable real estate “cycle.”

We cannot understate the impact of the pandemic as a primary stimulus for the onset of the surge of buyer desire. The effects of Covid-19 on our lifestyles pushed that desire into action. With parents working at home, children studying online, the ability to live anywhere became a reality for many and a tidal wave of often frenzied buying was born in 2020.

Months of Inventory In real estate statistical analysis, we often illustrate market momentum in terms of months of inventory.Months of inventory, often referred to as market velocity, shows the current pace of sales, by dividing the number of active listings by the number of properties in escrow, but not yet closed. This statistic is particularly useful in quantifying in real time buyer desire levels and confidence in investing in real estate.

As a general rule of thumb, a market with less than three months of inventory is indicative of a strong sellers’ market. As you will see from the chart, market-wide, from Carpinteria to Goleta, for houses and PUDs, including luxury price ranges, we only have one month of inventory! (A PUD is a unit within a planned unit development and is governed

by a homeowners’ association.) Statistically, this means that at the current pace of sales, assuming no new listings, it would take a little over four weeks to sell everything! From a practical standpoint, however, as the South Coast market comprises several micro-markets, geographically, as well as by price range, each sub-market will perform differently.

It is not “too late” for Buyers!

If you are ready and able to buy a new home in this challenging market, be prepared to be focused and seek help. Contact your Realtor who will advise and guide you through the process. Even with the strong market over the past two years, an appreciation level of at least 5-6% is predicted for the South Coast for 2022. Real estate is a long term financial investment, and historically, buying a property in Santa Barbara has proven to be a solid financial decision for most.

Here are a few tips to navigate a sellers’ market. Yes, cash is king, however, if you need or want to finance part of the purchase price, make sure your financing is in order before you start looking for a home. Work closely with a lender who will advise you as to what he or she needs to issue a pre-approval letter when you are ready to make an offer on a home. A pre-approval letter is a stronger statement than a prequalification letter, and means that your cash reserves, credit history, etc. has already been verified by the bank and a loan is only subject to approval of the selected property.

When it is time to write an offer, especially for a new listing, you will have to be ready to pay full price or more. To help the appeal of your offer, closely consider what the seller might be looking for, such as length of escrow, move-out schedule, etc., and try to match those terms as best as possible. Many sellers are wanting to close quickly and have the ability to remain in the property, at no rent, for as much as three months or more. If you are willing or able to match these sellers’ logistics and requests, your offer will stand

^ĂŶƚĂ ĂƌďĂƌĂ ^ŽƵƚŚ ŽĂƐƚ

A lot has been reported about the severe lack of available inventory. As you will see from the chart, as of the end of December 2021, there were only 87 available properties for sale in the MLS. This includes houses, PUDsand condos from Carpinteria to Goleta in all price ranges. One year ago, at the end of 2020, there were 166 properties available for sale. Let’s just say beware of newspaper headlines that state “Number of sales are down” … as this can be somewhat misleading and not indicative of a “market” slowdown.

which include off-market sales. There were 43 Montecito estate closings in 2021 priced over $10 million, this is compared to 2020 which saw “only” 24. There were some estates that sold more than once, for substantially more money in the space of only four or six months. One startling fact is that in the last quarter 2021, there were 63 closings in Montecito, (including condominium sales), as compared to 137 in the 4th quarter of 2020.

This is a stark indication of the severe lack of available inventory. The number of eager buyers would have certainly matched 2020 numbers if there were way more properties available for sale.

2021 Market Statistics

Condos

Included here is a market snapshot for 2021 year-end, as reported through the Santa Barbara Multiple Listing Service.

The median price is one of the most commonly used data points of the real estate market. The median price is defined as the midpoint in a grouping of sales, meaning half the sales in the group sold for more and half sold for less. The fluctuation in the median is not an indication of the rise or fall of the value of a specific home, but more an indication of appreciation and activity in the market in general. The median can be skewed high or low, however, if there is a sharp increase or decrease in either high-end sales, (as is currently the case), or in entry-level housing. The median price for the South Coast, at the end of 2021 for houses and PUDs, was $1,900,000, an increase of 22.6% from one year ago. As mentioned earlier, the South Coast has several sub-markets; let’s take a closer look at how various neighborhoods performed.

Market-wide condos have shown an increase of 12.3% in median price year-overyear. This market segment provides entry level pricing for many first time buyers, however, we have seen a strong number of high-end Montecito condos and Santa Barbara luxury condos close at record levels.

Lack of Inventory

Goleta For buyers seeking a home for under a million dollars, this particular market segment is extremely competitive with most properties in that price point selling immediately with multiple offers. With a smaller percentage of higher-end properties, the Goleta market attracts entry-level buyers, as well as investors.

Not unexpectedly, Goleta’s median price is up 20.4% from a year ago.

Interest rates Today’s historically low rates continue to allow buyers to secure low-cost money for years to come and close on their dream home, even in today’s appreciated market. As an illustration, at today’s rates, a one million dollar loan would cost approximately $4,600 per month; should interest rates increase by only one percent, that payment would jump to $5,200. More staggering is that at the higher interest rate, the borrower would pay over $200,000 more in interest over the life of the loan. (The information above is for illustration purposes only. Your actual rate, payment, and costs could be higher. Get an official loan estimate before choosing a loan.)

There are opportunities and negotiating strategies for sellers and buyers in today’s market. Values remain robust, and certainly a future plateauing of prices could be anticipated, but we do not anticipate a market weakness for 2022.

out if you are competing with other buyers.

The median price for the general Santa Barbara area, $1,753,500, shows an increase of 24.1% over last year. Santa Barbara does have a significant percentage of higher-end homes in such neighborhoods as the Riviera, Upper East and ocean view areas of the Mesa.

Many sales of those types of properties helped to fuel that increase.

Montecito The median price for Montecito for the end of 2021 was $4,936,220 which reflects a 37.1% increase from one year ago. This only reflects those sales that were reported through the Multiple Listing Service. The true story of the Montecito real estate market is reflected in the surge of off-market sales, which, due to the desire of buyer or seller, the closing data is not reported through MLS. Here are some statistics for Montecito
