For "Golden Oldies" It's Real Estate, Asheville-style!  “Boomers” are turning into “Golden Oldies” and I am one member of that illustrious cohort.  As such,  an article in  Forbes Magazine that focused on Dream Homes-  a fantasy wish list (money no object)—a grand kitchen (of course) with two islands, a designer-inspired laundry room, (with a tiled dog wash station), an outdoor oasis with two sunken pools, an incredible dressing room— intrigued me... That  could be what many people see as AGING IN P A L A C E  !  janeAnne, "Golden Oldie"   Is a DREAM HOME IN YOUR FUTURE, Golden Oldie?  More and more these days I’ve seen VERY PRACTICAL Dream Home Wish Lists composed by my "Golden Oldies" clients  in search of  “the Right For-Ever Home.”  Here’s a look at a typical list. POPULAR Home Wish...

 Asheville Real Estate Journal You may find this series of interest . It's dedicated to Post50 People and "Boomer" Family and Friends - Your  "For Ever"  Home –Accessibility and Small Home Spaces. ( You can fast track to the video below.)As I noted in Part 1, Sage and John, a smart couple were beginning their Post-50 adventure with their choice to  create a sanctuary – their “dream place”. And, it was clear to them that they wanted to build something small.Their ultimate dream home would be far from  huge. In fact, this goes along with a concept that is getting more and more popular it seems these days. “Boomer” consumer influence  has tremendous buying power today and this points to a number of alternative solutions. And, there  are affordable solutions for those who are looking for ac...

Asheville Autumn- The Season to Discover LAND and Our Fall Color Tour  As I looked at the photo (above) I took on our ASHEVILLE 2015 Color Tour, one of my favorite passages from John Crowley’s book, Little Big came to mind. If you are looking for land and finding the “right” place , this may be helpful for you as it has been for many of our clients:  “…on brave luminous mornings walking expectant and watchful, waiting to be led and feeling (at once, at the same moment) the turning [you] must take that would lead to a place that took your hand and said, “We’re here….” ~ John Crowley

    Need we reiterate? Asheville is synonymous with quality of life! The town, nestled in the mountains and with rivers and lakes gracing it (see photo of the December at Beaver lake) offers homes and land that suit many  lifestyles. THIS is the time of year Land Investors come to the area. It is easier to see how the land lies when the leaves are off the trees. Plan this "land excursion" in the next couple of months. We are happy to refer you to general contractors we know and trust. You can make this your home place.

"Where the weather is okay this year the Democrats won't necessarily get a bump -- they just won't have to deal with the drag on turnout," said , business weather expert at The Weather Channel...”   (weather.com) Interestingly, the good news seems to be that “bad weather's impact on the electorate's mood favors the safe choice of incumbents, not necessarily candidates from one party, and doesn't necessarily suppress turnout.” Here’s a view from our Asheville cabin this morning. Wonder if the melting “powdered sugar” on the slippery upper regions might impact North Carolina’s Senate race? I doubt it. In fact,  I’m heading down the wet-leafed slope real soon ... .((*:*))

It's THAT time!!!! And we are excited about gathering heirloom–tomatoes, holy basil, parsley, and pole beans, at the North Asheville farmer's market. (Organic,of course.)     Do YOU remember the delight of harvesting  as a child?  We do, so we also have our own specialty garden. A  kind touch from a caring gardener even in a small space, can result in bounty!  These beauties, fresh-picked and still warm from the sun, are sure to taste like nothing you buy in a store ... .       We grew our harvest from seeds from Sow True Seeds  headquartered right here in beautiful Asheville, N.C.    Sow True specializes in open-pollinated, non-hybrid and GMO-free vegetable, herb, flower and cover crop seed as well as seasonal plant starts, sweet potato slips, asparagus crowns, seed potatoes and garlic...

      In Parts 1, 2 and 3 (links are below) of this series we took a look at the Costs of  Up-Fitting an older home, and asked if you thought it advisable -for both Buyers and Sellers - to sit down to talk with local professionals –such as the Rehab Experts we are happy to recommend here in Asheville. As opposed to  relying on data from an online source, you might think that setting aside some time to meet with local experts makes sense.If you do- then we agree-  taking that important step can save you time and money. Here's a link to an eBooklet: you can use for a quick start...
