A Glowing Report Card

by Rob Higgins, Executive Officer Spokane Association of REALTORS®

This newspaper recently reported, “Spokane’s housing market took home a glowing report card, at least for the first half of the year.”

After several years of dismal activity in the real estate market – both locally and nationally – this comes as very good news.

Most who are looking to buy or sell a home are interested in the market for homes on less than one acre. The sales of these are up 20 percent over last year. From January through June this year, 2,469 of these were sold. At the same time last year, 2,046 of these were sold.

The highest priced single home sale so far this year in our area was on the South Hill that sold for $1,000,000. The South Hill is the strongest micro market for real estate in our area this year.

However, Liberty Lake was the strongest for June with regards to new construction. Of the 49 new homes sold in Spokane County last month, 15 were in the Liberty Lake area.

If we look at the Spokane market overall, prices are climbing up.

The median sales price of all homes in our area so far this year is up 5.9 percent, currently sitting at $162,500 over last year’s $153,450.

How do I know all of these numbers? The Spokane Association of REALTORS® collects the raw data from the Spokane Multiple Listing Service through which almost every home in Spokane is listed. It gives us a highly accurate look at where we are. I report these numbers to our members via email as well as to local journalists who report them to you – including the article from which I quoted at the top of my column today.

Our REALTOR® members are, of course, pleased with how the market is turning around, as are many of you who have been waiting for a thaw before acting on buying or selling a home.

With interest rates on the rise, my advice to you is to consider this cost of money in your plans – and its upward trend – and move sooner than later to start your transaction.

The best place to start is with a phone call to your local REALTOR®. While it would be unfair for me to recommend any one of our members in particular, I can tell you that all of our members subscribe to the REALTOR® Code of Ethics, are required to earn a minimum of annual continuing education credits and must be licensed by the state of Washington before they can do business with you.

Ask your friends and business associates to recommend a REALTOR® to you based on their good experience – we all love a referral. Also, search online for a REALTOR® who may possess certain additional credentials that apply to your situation: SRES (Senior Real Estate Specialist), for example.

All of our members look forward to receiving your call. Talk with a REALTOR® today!

After years of being dismissed as an outdated metal, gold is making a huge comeback.

Whether your tool of choice is a screwdriver or paintbrush, get ready for a glitzy home makeover

BY ALICE OGLETHORPE CTW FEATURES

M

ake new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other’s gold.

That adage now applies to one of the hottest trends in interior design. When it comes to metals in the home, silver – the most popular finish for decades – has had to step aside for gold.

“Even five years ago, the design community turned its nose up at anything that was gold or brass,”

says Jason Oliver Nixon, partner in the interior design firm Madcap Cottage Interiors in Brooklyn, N.Y.“But in the past year, we’ve seen a huge resurgence in interest from our clients in golds and bronzes.”

This transformation is due in part to a change in the preferred aesthetic. Nixon says, “People are returning their homes to more traditional looks. Designers had been going with minimalist tendencies but are now adopting a grander look, and gold goes along with that. Gold is almost like custom jewelry for the home – it can feel handmade and bespoke – whereas silver can feel more runof-the-mill and mass market.”

richer, warmer color than brass, which can have a yellow tone to it.”

Kohler offers several different shades of gold, Rotelli says:“We have a gold with a brushed finish to it, another that almost feels like a white gold and even a brushed bronze that has a rustic, deeper tone than normal bronze.”

While gold has an expensive look to it (and gold jewelry is often much pricier than silver), the price difference doesn’t necessarily translate to

Buchan recommends mixing golds with greens and aquamarine. She also says mixed metallics can work throughout the home, no need to go all-in on gold.

This isn’t the same gold that people filled their homes with in the 1970s and 80s.“The new golds aren’t nearly as brassy as the ones used back then,” says Travis Rotelli, a designer at the Kohler Design Center in Kohler, Wis.“It’s evolved into a

THE MIDAS

Switching out silver fixtures for gold is an easy way to instantly give your home an updated look.“My clients are asking for more and more gold fixtures and I think it’s because gold is a warmer tone that looks beautiful with all kinds of interior design styles,” says Rebecca Buchan, founder and principal of Denton House Design Studio in Salt Lake City, Utah.“Gold is classic. It was popular in the time of Louis XIV of France, after all, but it’s not just for traditional interiors. Use it conservatively and it can give a rich pop to modern décors.”

metallic fixtures.“The general rule of thumb is that chrome finishes are the lowest price point while gold is typically somewhere in the middle,” Rotelli says.“But like any finish, you can see a variation in price and find something for your budget.”

Don’t feel like you’re stuck using gold only in the kitchen and bathroom for metal fixtures.“Gold is popping up in surprising places and really does translate across the board, from furniture to hardware. I’m even seeing bathtubs that are completely copper,” Nixon says.

And it doesn’t stop there.“Think about everything that’s silver in your home: lighting fixtures, dishware, flatware. All of those items are trending toward gold now, too,” Buchan says.

“Even upholstered furniture is getting the gold treatment with new

fabrics and leathers in metallic golds.” © CTW Features

U to Stylish Staircases STEP 3 home improvement projects to take your staircase design up a notch

J

ust because staircases are functional and constantly getting stepped on doesn’t mean they don’t deserve a little interior design attention, too.These three projects prove that stairs can be both practical and pretty.

Tile Under Toes

Angie Campbell

On the more difficult side of the home-improvement scale is tiling a staircase.Adding patterned tile to staircase risers is creative and makes quite an impression on guests.“We were almost done building our home when we had to decide what to do with the staircase – it was our final project,” says Deb Delman, a high school teacher in Portland, Ore., who built her home from the

ground up.“The rest of the house is full of artistic projects, so we knew we wanted to do something unusual and really colorful with the stairs.

I’d tiled our bathroom before, and it turned out nice, which made me think of tiling the riser.”

Delman chose a beautiful Mexican tile and got to work. The toughest part was cutting all of the tiles to be the right size and shape for the risers, she says.“We ran out of tile toward the end and had to make a sort of mosaic design on the bottom step.”

After the installation, Delman finished it off with black grout that wouldn’t show dirt.“All in all, it took us about 100 hours to get the project finished – two full weekend days and a lot of weeknights,” she says.“But the end result was worth it.”

Deb Delman

By Alice Oglethorpe |CTW Features

Sharon Askew

called Angie’s Roost about the household projects she tackles in the Brewer, Maine, home she shares with her husband.“I thought I was so creative, until I searched online and realized I wasn’t the first person to come up with this idea.”

Campbell went to the paint store and picked up small sample paint jars in 9 different shades of blue (this saved her from buying larger cans of paint). After a few coats, she had a fun, eye-catching staircase.

What’s Up, Ombré?

Showing Chevron

If there’s a project that doesn’t need a lot of time or know-how, it’s this one:With a few swipes of a paintbrush, plain balusters can be transformed with an ombré paint job.

“We were in the middle of renovating the staircase and I thought it would be fun to paint the balusters in increasingly darker shades of blue,” says Angie Campbell.

Campbell, a marketing director, keeps a blog

For those who feel comfortable measuring and creating patterns, chevron stripes can add a bold punch to your risers.

“My stair risers used to be plain white, and after only a few years they started looking really dirty from people walking up and down them,” says Sharon Askew, an interior decorator in upstate New York and writer of a blog called

Serendipity.“So when I saw an online video showing how to paint chevron stripes on the risers, I thought: I can do that!”

Askew started by cutting a piece of heavy cardstock (she actually used a cereal box) into a triangle shape. That way she could trace the edges for her lines and the angle of the stripes would match from one riser to the next.

She then painted a base coat of white on the risers, penciled out the pattern, taped the areas she wanted to stay white with blue painter's tape and brushed over the exposed sections with black paint.“It sounds complicated, but the whole thing took me less than two hours,” Askew says.“The next day I did a few touch-ups where the paint bled, but they are holding up great. And they make me smile every time I walk up the stairs.” © CTW Features
