Two New, One Newer

I just listed two great homes. Both of them can close quickly, which is important to anyone who intends to use the $8000 Tax Credit.
The Hampton Home is a solid block home built in 1953 and recently remodeled. Centrally located, this home is close to everything.

The floor plan is open, great room style, so the living areas, dining and kitchen are all together. Great for family and entertaining. It also has 3br, 2ba, an Arizona room and an extra room that would make a great den or office.

The Railview House is like new. Built in 2006, this home looks and feels like a storybook home with every modern feature. There are 3 bedrooms, 2baths and a reading nook upstairs. Plus, there is a guest quarters with a full bath separate from the main house.

Located in the historic district of Willcox, Arizona, the home can be used for some business purposes as well. It would also make a great quick get-away vacation home.

Are You Throwing Money Out The Window?

Each month, one single action always brings me to switch my focus to how much energy I am wasting. Once again, I have opened the gas or electric bill.

If you have read my other blogs here or on my blog at MyGreenTucson.com, you know that I have written about saving energy and lowering my bills before. If you haven’t read them, do so after this and maybe you can save some more money.

My focus this month is windows. Not installing new ones, working with what you have. You can reduce your energy bills by following some or all of the tips I have listed below.

• Caulk cracks and holes in your windows or install weather stripping to ensure that no cold or hot air escapes. Be careful, do not seal up weep holes. They are there to let water, rain or snow out of the outer trough of the window sill.

• During the summer, close shades and blinds that get direct sunlight to keep hot air out.

• In the winter, open shades and blinds that get direct sunlight to let warm air in.

• If you really want to block sun and it’s UV rays, you may want to consider a UV protective tinting on some or all of your windows. I had this done on my last home and it helped a lot. The tinting is almost clear so you can enjoy looking outside. I always refer Clint at The Specialists on Broadway for car or home windows.

• Maybe it’s time to spruce up your windows. Check out the new Hunter Douglas window coverings, Duette Architella honeycomb shades. Somehow they have found away to create a blind that not only has great functionality and looks, but that can also reduce energy loss up to 50%.

If you want to look into the window coverings, I highly recommend Del at the Window Covering Company. Many of my clients have worked with him. He has almost every manufacturer available, his prices are lower then Home Depot and Lowes and he does all of the measuring and installation!

Doesn’t get better than that.
