uch talk is buzzing around<br />

the housing market this<br />

year. The Karl Miller Team<br />

has seen a number of houses sell<br />

in the first 30 days of going on the<br />

market and many buyers have<br />

experienced competing offers<br />

when trying to purchase a home.<br />

The dynamics controlling this is<br />

simple: supply and demand. Here<br />

are several quick statistics:<br />

The housing market in Greater<br />

buyers as they enter your house.<br />

If you get that, you are halfway<br />

there to a sale. Buyers buy for<br />

three reasons: Location, Architectural<br />

stye / condition of the<br />

home, and Price. Location & architectural<br />

style are unchangeable;<br />

however, condition and price<br />

are controllable. Get that right<br />

and the property will likely sell<br />

fairly quickly.<br />

We thank our loyal clients for the<br />

and growth as the market increases.<br />

Of the houses that<br />

closed, we were involved in just<br />

over three percent of those<br />

transactions, either representing<br />

the buyer or the seller of those<br />

homes.<br />

We would love to be a part of<br />

your move this year, too. Call us<br />

today to see how we can help<br />

you get to where you want to<br />

be. ⌂<br />

YTD to $169,250.<br />

If selling, make sure your home is<br />

in fantastic condition. Your goal is<br />

to get a “Wow!” from potential<br />

continued referrals and growth of<br />

market share. In honor of our<br />

clients, we hosted our 8 th Annual<br />

From the editors of CV Now<br />

aving small children in your<br />

life, whether they belong<br />

to you, a relative or they<br />

just happened to crawl through<br />

your door without knocking, can<br />

be a safety challenge. Thinking<br />

from a ‘baby-eye’ view of things<br />

will help you avoid mishaps before<br />

their happen. You know<br />

what Granddaddy Ben said…”an<br />

ounce of prevention is worth a<br />

pound of cure…”<br />

Here’s a quick checklist to look<br />

for before you answer that<br />

doorbell.<br />

Electrical outlets: these are<br />

easy ones to both see and<br />

prevent – plug ‘em up!<br />

Sharp corners: look for<br />

those on chairs, bookshelves,<br />

coffee tables, etc. –<br />

anything 36 inches and below.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Sharp hazards: anything fragile<br />

or breakable: time to move<br />

those higher up the bookshelf.<br />

Choking hazards: anything<br />

small enough to possibly fit<br />

into a tiny mouth. 'Nuff said.<br />

Don’t want them in a room?<br />

Buy some indoor baby fences.<br />

A little money can save a lot of<br />

stress!<br />

Last thing to do: get down and<br />

crawl around yourself for a good<br />

look at what baby sees. If nothing<br />

else, you’ll get a close-up perspective<br />

on shoes again!<br />

Finally, maybe update your homeowner's<br />

insurance policy??

f you like the idea of investing in something<br />

you can touch and feel, buying a<br />

rental property can be an attractive option.<br />

The key, experts say, is purchasing the<br />

right place up front. Here are some tips on<br />

locating a good rental and sizing it up.<br />

Buy in a desirable location. Good schools,<br />

low crime rates and nearby amenities like<br />

parks and shopping all matter in a real estate<br />

search. Some experts suggest limiting<br />

your search to properties near your home<br />

(say, a 20-minute drive) so you can keep<br />

ties with tenants and respond quickly in<br />

case of emergencies. Wherever you search,<br />

look into local vacancy rates and rental<br />

prices for comparable properties, and ask<br />

whether any new apartment buildings are<br />

in the works.<br />

By Joe Jauch, WestStar Mortgage<br />

Branch Manager nmls #315849<br />

434-258-3549<br />

Consider landlord laws. Being a landlord<br />

means being up to speed on all applicable<br />

laws, from federal fair housing laws to<br />

local ordinances that may dictate regulations<br />

like minimum square footage or<br />

ceiling height for bedrooms. If you're<br />

buying into an association, consider those<br />

rules as well. Many condos, for instance,<br />

cap the number of units that can<br />

be rented at any given time.<br />

Total your expenses. Think beyond the<br />

mortgage. Tally up real estate taxes, association<br />

fees, the cost of finding tenants,<br />

and your insurance and maintenance<br />

outlays. Save about one to three percent<br />

of the value of your rental property for<br />

upkeep each year. The goal, of course, is<br />

finding a property where the rent exceeds<br />

your costs, but you'll still need a<br />

plan for carrying the expenses yourself in<br />

the event of a vacancy.<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

We imported $227 million<br />

in fireworks in 2012?<br />

The most common patriotic-sounding<br />

word used<br />

within place names? It’s<br />

‘union’, 126 times.<br />

The most commonly used<br />

presidential name? Washington,<br />

127 times; Franklin,<br />

118 times.<br />

Guess how many times<br />

“patriot” is used? Yep, only<br />

once – Patriot, IN (pop. of<br />

209)<br />

How many times “liberty”<br />

<br />

was used within place names?<br />

59 times! Pennsylvania tops<br />

all of them with 11…maybe<br />

that is why the Liberty Bell is<br />

C Glass sophomore Libby Davis<br />

is, in the words of coach Van<br />

Porter, “a special girl.” Her accomplishments,<br />

for one so relatively<br />

young in her athletic career, are truly<br />

phenomenal. To date, she has 10<br />

state championships to her credit,<br />

including a mix of cross country, relay,<br />

and distance races—and we<br />

haven’t made it through the <strong>2015</strong><br />

outdoor season yet.<br />

Her accomplishments don’t stop<br />

with the state of <strong>Virginia</strong>, either.<br />

Davis is defending champion for the<br />

Taco Bell Classic 3200m for both her<br />

freshman and sophomore years, and<br />

has similar accomplishments at the<br />

Dogwood Track Classic, the Southern<br />

Track Classic, and the Penn Relays.<br />

She does all of this while playing tennis<br />

“for fun,” a sport in which she is<br />

ranked #4 in singles and #3 in doubles.<br />

Davis attributes her success to<br />

growing up in the environs of her<br />

parents own athleticism. ⌂<br />

electrician, which allows do-it-yourselfers<br />

over the lifetime of your deck. Unlike wood,<br />

composites do not need annual painting or<br />

and deck builders to more easily install the<br />

lights on their own. These lights not only look<br />

staining, and maintain a great appearance with<br />

a basic soap and water cleaning.<br />

Some boards are even specially designed to<br />

mimic the look of high-end hardwoods, offering<br />

the luxurious finishes of these exotic wood<br />

species without the upkeep. Innovative brands,<br />

like MoistureShield, pair these high-end looks<br />

with proven performance protected by a transferable<br />

lifetime warranty, making it easy to<br />

relax on deck.<br />

2. Create an unblemished deck surface<br />

great, they also help streamline the product<br />

selection and installation process by ensuring<br />

lights that perform well with the manufacturer's<br />

decking and railing.<br />

4. Accent with specialty railing<br />

One of the quickest ways to enhance your<br />

outdoor living design is by adding a contemporary<br />

deck railing. New railing options are<br />

designed to enhance the overall look of your<br />

deck, reduce maintenance of your space and<br />

improve your views. To accomplish this,<br />

Sometimes the most beautiful part of a deck is<br />

what you don't see. To help blend interior and<br />

exterior spaces, using hidden fasteners can<br />

create an unblemished deck surface similar to<br />

wood flooring. Hidden fasteners fit into grooves<br />

on the sides of the deck boards, which keeps<br />

nails and screws out of sight. This innovative<br />

option eliminates unsightly screw heads, not<br />

many decks are being built with mixed medium<br />

railings, such as cable infills or tempered<br />

glass panels. As these railing selections become<br />

more specialized, it's important to<br />

educate yourself about product warranties<br />

and installation recommendations to be sure<br />

you get the right product for your needs.<br />

Among the many choices, aluminum railing<br />

only creating a more beautiful deck but also a<br />

safer one. Some manufacturers even back their<br />

systems can provide a modern look at a more<br />

affordable price and are available in many<br />

deck clips with as much as a limited lifetime<br />

warranty against loose deck boards, which provides<br />

homeowners peace of mind on the quali-<br />

color options. These systems may also be<br />

available in easy-to-install kits and are typically<br />

designed to adapt to the mixed medium<br />

ty of their fasteners.<br />

3. Set the mood with deck lighting<br />

infills. They provide a wide range of sophisticated<br />

styles to complement the sleek, modern<br />

designs of composite decking and are<br />

ers value the higher performance and decreased<br />

maintenance requirements of compourning<br />

your backyard into an outdoor<br />

living oasis can be a tough project to<br />

start. Between product choices and<br />

design ideas, planning your ideal outdoor<br />

space can mean a lot of research and time<br />

at the local home improvement store.<br />

To simplify your project, many companies<br />

are integrating their outdoor living products,<br />

creating collections that are specifically designed<br />

to work together. Here are four ways<br />

you can take advantage of these bundled<br />

systems and create a beautiful and inviting<br />

space in your own backyard.<br />

1. Choose attractive, durable decking<br />

Where wood decking was once the only option,<br />

innovations in technology have allowed<br />

many advancements in the types of decking<br />

boards available. One of the fastest growing<br />

outdoor products is composite decking, which<br />

features boards made of recycled plastics and<br />

wood fibers. Such boards are eco-friendly and<br />

offer long-term durability.<br />

Although composite decking may cost more<br />

than wood decking upfront, many homeown-<br />

Lighting is one of the top two outdoor design<br />

elements that landscape architects say is popular<br />

this year, according to the American Society<br />

of Landscape Architects. Decking manufacturers<br />

have responded to this trend by expanding<br />

their decking collections to include lighting lines<br />

optimized for easy installation with their board<br />

and railing options.<br />

The new variety of lighting options, including<br />

recessed bullet lights, under rail strip lights,<br />

stair lights and post lights can seem overwhelming<br />

and difficult to install. With the<br />

emergence of energy-efficient LEDs, installation<br />

of these lights has become easier, and performance<br />

has improved, making design possibilities<br />

limitless. Some systems are even sold as<br />

plug-and-play to help eliminate the need for an<br />

available with longer warranties than other options<br />

like vinyl railing.<br />

Putting all the details together<br />

By offering a wider range of accessories,<br />

manufacturers are making it easier for builders<br />

and do-it-yourselfers to find products<br />

that work well together. "A family of products<br />

designed to work together helps simplify<br />

the building process and creates a<br />

beautiful, long-lasting deck," says Brent<br />

Gwatney, senior vice president of sales<br />

and marketing for MoistureShield composite<br />

decking. "Our goal is to align the<br />

warranties and performance on all of<br />

our decking and accessories, to create a<br />

package of consistent options."<br />

Pro Tips to Reclaim Your<br />

House & Your Time<br />

on’t you hate cleaning your<br />

house in the summertime,<br />

when you could be outside instead?<br />

Summer was made for enjoying<br />

fresh air, sunny-day activities,<br />

and fun. Instead of spending a lot of<br />

time on not-so-fun chores, grab hold<br />

of these tips to make your life a little<br />

easier this summer season.<br />

Kill two dust bunnies with one box of<br />

baking soda: Did you know that<br />

sprinkling baking soda on your sofa,<br />

10<br />

allowing it to sit for a while, and then<br />

returning to vacuum it will not only<br />

freshen your furniture but will also<br />

clean your vacuum?<br />

Harness the power of the lemon: Kill<br />

bathroom grime by slicing a lemon in<br />

half and rubbing the inside over your<br />

sink and shower heads. This will get<br />

rid of the funk and leave your bathroom<br />

smelling great.<br />

Stop vacuuming pet hair! (er…as<br />

much, anyway.) Instead, use a squeegee<br />

to dig up pet hair that has crept<br />

into crevices. You’ll be amazed. And<br />

possibly repulsed.<br />
