Golf Reminders BE SAFE! FRIENDLY REMINDERS FROM POLO HOA Please remember that when walking or jogging through the neighborhood you should be facing (walking into) traffic. This allows you to see oncoming vehicles and allows you to get your pets out of the way as well. If you are on a bicycle (or moving vehicle) you should be going in the same direction as the traffic.

GOLF CARTS General Federal Law for Golf Carts: Under current NHTSA interpretations and regulations, so long as golf cars and other similar vehicles are incapable of exceeding 20 miles per hour, they are subject to only state and local requirements regarding safety equipment. However, if these vehicles are originally manufactured so that they can go faster than 20 miles per hour, they are treated as motor vehicles under Federal law.

The standard requires low-speed vehicles to be equipped with headlamps, stop lamps, turn signal lamps, tail lamps, reflex reflectors, parking brakes, rearview mirrors, windshields, seat belts, and vehicle identification numbers.

GEORGIA GOLF CART & LOW SPEED VEHICLE LAWS Guidelines for Golf Carts and PTVs (Personal Transportation Vehicles)

Only those who have a valid driver’s license are allowed to drive a golf cart ALONE. If, however, the driver is at least 12 years of age and accompanied by a licensed adult age 18 or older, they may operate the golf cart.

EXCEPTION: If the driver is 15 and holds a permit, he/she may operate the golf cart alone.

Golf carts may only operate on streets with posted speed limits of 35 MPH and under.

This does not prohibit golf carts or lowspeed motor vehicles from crossing any road or street at properly marked crossings.

REQUIRED GOLF CART EQUIPMENT All golf carts must have braking systems, a reverse warning device, tail lamps, a horn and hip restraints and must weigh less than 1,300 lbs and not top speeds of 20mph.

Golf carts that are operated between sunrise and sunset must be equipped with headlights, brake lights, turn signals, and a windshield.

Golf carts that do not meet these additional standards shall only be operated during the hours between sunrise and sunset.

ADDITIONAL GOLF CART RELATED INFORMATION Golf carts may be operated on sidewalks only if the driver yields the right-ofway to all pedestrians, bicycle riders or others not using a golf cart.

NOTICE! The golf course is private property and can be very dangerous for those engaging in nongolfing activities. For everyone's safety, NO unauthorized use is allowed including walking, jogging, fishing, pets, bikes, skateboards and personal golf carts. Only club staff, and golfers who have checkedin with the Golf Shop, are allowed on the golf course.

Thank you for your understanding.

THE REAL ESTATE

CORNER

BY LISA MALIN LOVINS

The Polo Newsletter // August 2023

MID-YEAR GOALS AND REAL ESTATE STATS Welcome back to The Real Estate Corner. As a resident of Polo and an active Realtor I am so honored to bring you monthly articles to help you to stay informed on fluctuating market stats and to answer any questions you may have. It is truly my pleasure and passion to assist you.

W

ell hello August, where kids are already going back to school or going off to college, the hot weather seems relentless, fall scents, colors and candies are filling the shelves and for some, it’s just another great day for a round of golf or awesome activity outside. Is it me or does the year seem like it is flying by?

No matter what, we are just past the midyear point of 2023. It’s an opportune time to reflect on our aspirations, personal growth and investment goals. What action plan do you need to continue or reevaluate to keep you on track for the rest of the year? How do your life goals intertwine with real estate? If they don’t yet, then now is the time to start.

Leveraging real estate for financial growth means selecting a property that not only meets one’s immediate needs but also offers long-term investment potential. Let’s start right here at home first. Evaluating your current space to match and meet your needs can be as simple as a few enhancements or improvements. Think of energy efficiency options such as spray foam insulation, new windows, or tankless water heaters. When it comes to adding the most value to your home, great examples are improving your outdoor living space, finishing/updating the basement, or just giving a more up to date look of kitchens and bathrooms. Perhaps some

smaller-scale renovations would be as simple as new lighting, a fresh coat of paint and new hardware.

If home improvements are not the goal and will not turn your house into your dream home, what will?

Here are some very important questions: What would your next home look like and where would it be? Do you need more space, less space, office space, one level, basement, backyard, close to work or family, more remote, etc? What would it take for you to move? When I ask this question, the overwhelming response is getting the best price and finding somewhere to go with limited inventory and fluctuating interest rates. Your list of must haves is your motivation to move no matter what the market is.

Let’s talk about real estate stats. In our area, we have 1.3 months worth of inventory. A balanced market is 6 months and we are not even close. With the interest rates where they are now, it has caused home prices to stabilize some. As interest rates go down, home prices will rise. Sales may be down 22% year over year but that is not due to a crashing market, more so, to lack of good inventory.

Failed listings have increased 15% year over year due to incorrect pricing and condition.

Home sale prices year over year are slightly up despite the dip towards the end of last year with the major spike in interest rates. There is the balancing act of true value and when the right time is to pull the trigger. As a Realtor, I interpret the market based on facts and data, not feelings and emotions or what the media is saying. Pricing correctly the first time plays a significant role with days on market, potential appraisal issues and ultimately the bottom line

return on your investment. Data shows that the average price point of $700-800k will go under contract in 7 days or less. If not, there needs to be a significant price decrease of 9% of asking price and will now close on average 72 days. When you are choosing a Realtor, this should be important knowledge for them to share with you.

Now diving deeper in our neighborhood. As I write this article, we currently have only three (3) active listings on the market, five (5) pending sales that will close in the next 30 days and eighteen (18) homes that have closed in the past six (6) months. Out of those closed sales, the homes that were priced right and in good condition went under contract on average in six (6) days (most in a weekend) selling from 97% of the asking price to well above asking at 107% sales to list price ratio. Here is a little something that you as a consumer cannot see: over half of the listings that closed have closing costs contributions from the sellers.

These closing costs are primarily for repairs and maintenance which ultimately affects the seller’s bottom line.

What steps can you take today to start growing your wealth through real estate? Think in terms of upgrading or renovating your current home to increase its market value or even putting a down payment on a vacation home or investment property. Regardless of current market conditions, real estate is the one investment that consistently maintains or increases in value.

As your neighbor and Realtor, I am happy to help answer any questions and connect you with resources to make your real estate goals a reality. I always look forward to your comments and questions lisamalin@kw.com.

GREEN & GROWING

L

ife moves at the speed of light! But one thing that I have found which slows it down to a nice pace from time to time is gardening. Granted, I host a radio show about the very subject, but it’s the best thing that’s ever happened to me. Taking the time to observe nature’s beauty really gives one a different perspective on things. Maybe whomever said to “stop and smell the roses” really knew what they were preaching!

I saw a meme recently with three male sportscasters all gasping in disbelief, apparently at some sports thing, and the words read “People over 50 watching their bird feeders”! I thought, ‘that’s me too!!’ A bird feeder, bird bath, or hummingbird feeder are simple additions to a popular gathering space outdoors that can add to your relaxation value. Investing in a bird identification book or an app is a great source of conversation for the family. Who knew I could impress my 30 something-year-old friends by identifying birds?!

What Catches Your Eye in a Summer Garden?

And don’t forget a few potted flowering plants, both large and small, in your outdoor space. Pollinators like bees and butterflies, and even hummingbirds, will be by to check them out. Everyone loves summer color, so choose annual flowers that can tolerate the heat. Good choices are geraniums, sunpatiens, petunias, Gerber daisies, and purslane. To ensure these plants will thrive well into the fall, make sure to routinely deadhead them. Simply pinch off the expired blooms with your fingers or a pair of scissors, and you’ll be rewarded with continuous blooms.

As for the yard… who on this earth has ever seen a hydrangea and thought to themselves, “what a plain plant.” NO ONE ever! We love our hydrangeas here in the South, and right now is the best showing of three popular types. Mopheads are the globe-shaped blue, sometimes pink flowered ones, that start blooming in late spring. Then there are Panicle hydrangeas, with cone shaped flower heads in bloom now.

These flowers last into the fall. Thirdly, Oakleaf hydrangeas do well in wooded spots, and right now, their blooms are changing color. Their leaves are a beautiful display of autumn color in the coming months!

Even better news, none of these has to be pruned. What a great staple to add to your landscape.

One of the best parts of my job as a radio host is being able to recommend plants to people. Requests are all very different, but I accept the challenge because it allows me to research and discover new plants! I recently attended Southeast Green, an industry conference and trade show in Atlanta for folks in the landscape and nursery industries, and there, many nurserymen and women displayed their newest varieties of plants. Science is amazing, as growers can hybridize plants to get the best characteristics of each, be it size, disease resistance or even cold hardiness. Right now, many folks seem to be in favor of dwarf varieties.

Offerings of dwarf shrubs are plentiful from growers, so there are many to choose from. They’ve become trendy and desired. If for full sun, consider Kaleidoscope or Confetti abelia. I love the colorful foliage of these, plus their small, white flowers. There are many planted along the walls of Oakland Cemetery. Then there’s Pugster Blue butterfly bush, Diamond Spire gardenia, and loropetalum- Purple Daydream or Dwarf Crimson Fire. Purple Pixie dwarf loropetalum has a weeping form, which is neat. Soft Touch hollies offer soft foliage and resist common pests and diseases.

ARE YOU SUFFERING from an

abundance of mosquitoes in your yard this wet, humid summer?

Y

ou know skeeters can breed in any sized pool of standing water in your yard. In a bucket or pail, in an old tire used for a tire swing or a sandbox, in your gutters, in your yard itself. Anywhere you have standing water, even the smallest of drops, you have a skeeter breeding ground.

And guess what we’ve had an abundance of lately. Right. Water.

Therefore the first step is to keep standing water out of your yard.

To help aid in getting rid of them permanently you will have to enlist the help of a pest control company. They can do a monthly spray (the spray is only effective for about 30 days) during peak skeeter season which will help keep down the population.

You want to make sure that the skeeter folks use a spray that won’t harm the little pollinators in your yard, the bees, the butterflies etc.

(It is also good to go with a company that offers monthly service. Frees you and your checkbook up a little, although a good skeeter company is worth their weight in bat poo...)

The spray will help keep the skeeter population down, but you may not ever be totally skeeter free.

What should you use if you are trying to enjoy your deck or patio?

Do mosquito candles work? Ehhhh. Bug zappers? Not really.

Smoke? Doubt it.

The best thing for keeping skeeters away from you on the patio or deck is a good old-fashioned oscillating fan.

That’s right – a plain old oscillating house fan is probably your best bet. Skeeters are notoriously weak fliers so the breeze of the fan will help blow them away from you.

Extra info.

You never feel the mosquito biting you. You don’t feel them until after they have already had their fill of your blood, which is another reason why they are such a pain in the rear. Or arm. Or leg. Or neck…

One more thing.

Know what keeps mosquito population down?

Bats.

Look into building a bat house and maybe attracting some of those up-side-down sleeping, mosquito eating, guano pooping creatures. Might be just what you are looking for.

WEATHER BY CHRISTINA

Summer Pop Up Storms Can Bring Some of the Worst Weather of the Year

A

fternoon “pop up” thunderstorms are common this time of year, courtesy of our area’s warm and humid conditions.

But sometimes, these pop up storms can be strong enough to produce wind damage -including downed trees and powerlines. Some of the worst weather of the year can occur in the late spring and summer months as these storms produce torrential downpours as well as frequent lightning, and winds strong enough to topple trees.

But what makes a storm strong enough to be considered “severe”?

SEVERE STORM CRITERIA A “bad storm” can be rather intense to drive through, and the thunder can be rather loud, but a thunderstorm is considered “severe” if it produces any of the following: Ƚ Wind gusts 58 mph or greater (Why 58 mph? Because the traditional wind speed unit is knots, and 50 knots converts to 58 mph.) Ƚ Hail that is 1 inch in diameter or greater (the size of a U.S. quarter) Ƚ Tornado(es) 24 The Polo Newsletter // August 2023

What are the main impacts from severe thunderstorms?

Lightning: While lightning is not a criterion for classifying a storm as severe, a “lightning jump” or large increase of lightning strikes in a short amount of time can signify a rapidly strengthening thunderstorm. These thunderstorms contain strong updrafts, or upward moving winds, that push water droplets and ice crystals higher in the atmosphere. Along the way, friction between the rain drops and ice crystals produce different static charges in the cloud, and lightning discharges the static electrical build up within the storm cloud. The more lightning strikes within a storm, the stronger the updrafts and more than likely the stronger the winds associated with the storm.

Wind Damage: High winds are the main impacts from severe thunderstorms.

Wind gusts as high as 58 mph or greater have the potential to knock down and uproot trees, down power lines, and cause structural damage to homes and buildings.

Often, in the late spring and summer, damaging winds within a thunderstorm are due to downbursts, which are rapidly-moving downward columns of raincooled air.
