QUESTION OF THE DAY:
Are property owners still doing 1031 tax deferred exchanges in Greater Seattle’s current real estate market? Yes, if they have adequate equity in their investment property.

Loan rates are super low. If you’re blessed with stable employment, a good credit score, have some money in the bank, don’t have a lot of debt, and have a downpayment this may be a ripe opportunity to start thinking about buying yourself a home or condo.

Have a blessed day.

GE’s new Two-Way Talking Touch Screen Security Panel – secure coolness

denice — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 21:00:18 +0000

GE just introduced their new 2-way Talking Touch Screen Security Panel which easily and effectively controls and manages your home’s security systems including lighting, HVAC units, and it even provides a 4-day weather forecast. Via functionality through Alarm.com homeowners can control and manage their home systems from their smart phone. The design is wireless so it installs quick and easy. The site is useful and provides pertinent information on all the panel features (home status, emergency, window/door sensor, alarm status, keypad, thermostat, lighting, weather).

If you need a GE dealer around Seattle I recommend Tim Burdick at Burdick’s Security.

Pantone selects Turquoise (aka 15-5519) as Color of the Year for 2010

denice — Thu, 03 Jun 2010 21:32:23 +0000

What a delicious description for the 2010 color of the year http://www.pantone.com/pages/pantone/pantone.aspx?pg=20705&ca=4 – ” combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green” “a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky” “a color of deep compassion and healing.” It certainly does inspire thoughts of escape, tropical goodness, and serenity for me and water always restores my sense of wellbeing. There’s a reason Calgon chose this color to “take me away.” I always notice Turquoise used well in a staging, and I notice it over used (so don’t do that.) Here are some tips http://www.realtor.org/rmohome_and_design/Articles/2010/1006_home_turquoisestaging from stagers in Realtor Mag.

It’s been my experience that both men and women do find Turquoise appealing in interiors and in fashion. Turquoise just seems to pep up everything around it. If you wake up feeling a little funky, slip on a sexy Turquoise tee and see how things shape up. Works for me.

If you’d like a color consultation with an excellent Interior Designer around Greater Seattle I can recommend Kelle Boyd of Landsview Interior Design.
