Outdoor living space

With the arrival of the warmer months, homeowners have been enthusiastic about decorating their outdoor environment. As the Covid-19 pandemic continues to spread and with more time spent at home and fewer opportunities for inside socializing, our outdoor spaces are more important than ever and their value continues to grow across the country.

 

The year 2022 is shaping up to be one of the most significant in the history of outdoor living spaces. Outdoor space design is becoming increasingly engaging, focusing on all those aspects that fulfill the demands of individuals who use it daily. Furthermore, having a useful and peaceful outdoor setting promotes and allows us to spend more time outside, which not only benefits our mental and physical health but also strengthens family relationships as this provides the opportunity to spend time with our loved ones.

 

As a result, architects and interior designers are paying closer attention to the various techniques that can transform an outdoor space into a pleasant and stylish living space like these:

 

 

 

The colors of the year 2022 feature earth-toned hues that make any place feel warm and welcoming, and choosing a nature-inspired furniture shade may instantly add comfort to a room. Picking hues suggestive of the outdoors, from deep reds and tans to inviting calm grays and beige, creates a tranquil outdoor environment. An outdoor living room can be used for a variety of purposes, including home offices and garden rooms, which are common amongst sophisticated homeowners. However, there is another compelling incentive to incorporate an outside space into our home: ours and our family’s health. It can be used to unwind, enjoy nature, and entertain family and friends in a comfortable and stylish living environment.

 

In addition, the hanging chair is one of the top furniture picks to be added to your outdoor living space, this chair is popular because of its coziness, longevity, and eye-catching patterns. Due to this, the demand for this stunning piece of furniture shows no signs of slowing down.

 

 

The chair is typically made of wicker or rattan and accented with a comfortable cushion, all of which is supported by a solid metal frame. Wicker adds an artisanal touch and aesthetic appeal without costing a fortune. Its neutral color blends perfectly with practically any existing design concept in your outdoor environment. The hanging chair is an excellent choice for unwinding.

 

Outdoor living space may improve our lifestyle in different ways, whether it’s for some quiet personal time to meditate or read a book, or entertainment purposes for family and friends; this concept will certainly help reduce stress levels and allows focusing on having both happier and healthier mind. If you have been looking for some ideas for an outdoor living space design, hopefully, this article would have been a help.

Trendy Green walls and new floorplans

The new year is upon us, signifying a time of change and new beginnings. As we enter our third year of the Covid-19 pandemic, the role our homes play in our lives continues to evolve along with the pandemic. Where our homes were simply once a place for sleeping and relaxation, they have now morphed into living spaces, home offices, classrooms, and gyms, all in one house. 

 

This has naturally sparked a change in the desired layout of our homes that can effectively meet all these needs. Spending more time in our homes has led to a quest to make each space multifunctional to maximize what the house is capable of offering. Gone are the days of the open floor plan. It has been replaced with dining rooms that double as offices, and guest units equipped with at-home gyms. Wide-open living rooms have been converted to smaller rooms in an effort to find privacy in a busy house. In an effort to avoid exposure, going out to bars and restaurants has become rare, so why not bring the bar to the safety of your own home? Interior designers are in high demand for design at home bars, built to personal preference. 

 

Even with so much time spent at home, our lives are still hectic and it can be nice to find a place for peaceful refuge. Quiet spaces for reading or meditation have become very popular. Not only are the shapes of the spaces being reimagined, the decor and feeling of design have also begun to change.

 

 

Amidst the upheaval and uncertainty of the past two years, we crave a space that is warm and welcoming. The stark edges and all-white Scandinavian look that has been oh so popular has lost its appeal to the ideas of color and soft rounded edges. Design experts anticipate that the white walls will be painted over with dark browns and caramels, accented with the greens and blues of nature. While the color palette will mostly stay near the earth tones, the presence of color will bring so much more life to a room than white. The boxy couches will be replaced with soft curves and ruffles that evoke a feeling of comfort. To enhance this feeling of comfort there is a push to make the space feel lived in and welcoming. Designers are remarking that their clients are craving the old-world charm of antique furniture, reclaimed wood, and the plush comfort of armchair couches. 

 

Being confined to the walls of our houses throughout the pandemic has led to a large amount of time spent walking through nature. This affinity for the outdoors is bound to weave its way into the designs of our homes. Not only will the colors of nature inspire color schemes, but natural materials will find their way into design. Walls will be graced with wallpapers inspired by nature’s botanical beauty. Countertops will be graced with reclaimed wood, terracotta, and stone. Even before the pandemic, plants had begun to appear along walls or in hanging pots as decoration. Not only do they add a natural touch to a room, but studies have shown that plants can improve air quality and reduce stress levels. 

 

 

Design trends come in waves and now feels like the perfect time for a change. The overall takeaway from what design experts anticipate will emerge in the next year is a functional, inviting, natural, colorful, and comfortable space. If you’re looking for inspiration for a new kitchen or living room remodel hopefully this may give you a few ideas.

Deja Vu

woman standing in front of real estate brochures

Real estate is not unlike life. We experience pockets of time full of high-energy activity, coupled with slower, more quiet periods where we can reflect and regroup, followed by time frames of equality and balance and very little drama. Real estate is no different.

 

Once again, we are experiencing a frenzy of activity in the real estate market. Homes are selling before making it to the MLS; bidding wars, combined with higher prices and low inventory, are making buyers and sellers tense. Randy and I have experienced this type of extreme market before and are well versed in navigating both buyers and sellers through the experience.

 

For many reasons, people are moving all over the country, not just Sonoma County. Some are moving to level up their lifestyle. Some are downsizing, some have experienced a divorce or significant life change, and some want to live in an area more conducive to staying home for long stretches. The pandemic caused the market to skyrocket. Real estate is booming all across the United States; Sonoma County is not alone.

 

Our advice to both buyers and sellers is to stay calm, be prepared, and align yourself with a professional realtor to look out for your best interest throughout your transaction.

 

Buyers need to be prepared to overbid and not lose heart. Have an open mind and a realistic picture of what their must-haves are in a home. Ensure you are working with a Realtor who knows the area well and is experienced working with the other local agents, and is willing to be patient and go that extra mile with you.

 

Even in a seller’s market, sellers need to price at fair market value and have their property show-ready. Buyers are not interested in overpriced homes that are not well maintained.

 

One of the biggest challenges sellers face right now is scheduling inspections- well, septic and appraisals. Professionals all over the area are booking 3-4 weeks out. We suggest sellers get most of these types of inspections completed before even going on the market if possible. We see many properties under contract before they even come on the market, making the sellers who completed their inspections and property clean-up before listing their homes much better suited to having an easy transfer of ownership.

 

We recommend taking a deep breath and have confidence; no matter which side of the transaction you are on, you will get through it and enjoy whatever lies on the other side for you.

Level Up Your Home

 

Home decorating and remodeling trends are alluring to us all. Residential improvement fills our minds with enticing projects and grandiose ideas of what we can do ourselves in our spare lockdown time! Luckily the start of a new year is one of the most popular times for every magazine and news outlet to share what’s trending! Here is a summary of what we found this month.

Social Front Yards
Social Distance catch-ups are much more pleasant if an “In an effort to maximize your property and feel more connected to neighbors, social front yards will continue to be a priority,” Tilly Design’s forecast notes. Look out for porch swings, more oversized porches, and bistro-style seating in your neighbors front yard!

Amped-up Indoor-Outdoor living spaces.
Highlighting a more natural flow between inside and outside living continues to trend high on homeowners’ wish lists. Large sliding or folding glass doors, drop-down screens on the porch, outdoor heating lamps, and outdoor fire pits are all likely must have’s in 2021.

 

Multi-Seasonal View

Intensifying seasonal views.
There is nothing like looking outside, only to see a few leaves on a tree. Homeowners are improving their views year-round by adding outside focal points that combine evergreens, perennials, and ornamental grasses to showcase greenery all year round.

Gardening spots.
Similar to the wave of sourdough starters during the pandemic, many people are returning to the simple life and growing gardens for enjoyment and food production. “Even in small areas, vertical outdoor gardens can not only serve as a great hobby but also as a statement piece, Tilly Design’s report notes. Veggies, fruit, and herb gardens are in high demand.”

Video conferencing living rooms.
Modern times have created the need for dedicated zoom space! With so many meetings, classes, weddings, showers, and even funerals happening virtually, seeing and hearing everyone on a small screen is challenging. Homeowners are now adjusting their home entertainment centers to double as a home video conferencing hub.

Warmer color palettes.
We always like to keep up-to-date on the latest paint colors; 2021 is no different! Homeowners are moving away from grays to a warmer, cleaner palette such as Sherwin-Williams’ “Shoji White,” “Sea Salt,” “Breathless,” or “Unfussy Beige.”

Finishing up our trendy home tour, you must check out the latest in custom appliance trends and high-end finishes making their way into 2021 homes. These can be found in Barbara Ballinger from Realtor Magazine’s latest article, A Myriad of Home Trends to Gain Momentum in 2021.

A New Normal. A New Home.

Heidi and I continue to see a robust real estate market in Sonoma County, particularly in Sebastopol. A noticeable lack of inventory has increased demand, and homes’ reduced time spent on the market. Overall, even under the extreme circumstances, we are all facing daily, the market is trending upward.

Sonoma County Real Estate June 2020

Sonoma County, as a whole between May 2020 and June 2020, shows the number of homes on the market to be down and an increase in sales by 128% and a 43% increase in pending transactions. Due to the mandated shelter in place, these statistics make sense. Comparing these numbers to last year gives us the idea that inventory is still an issue no matter what has happened recently. Inventory is down 22% to June 2019. Compared to last June, sales are up by 4%, and pending purchases are up by 47%. 

Sebastopol Real Estate Market June 2020

Sebastopol is a similar picture. Compared to last month, inventory has decreased even more by 11% and by 30% to the previous year. Sebastopol is up 145% to last month and 12% to the same time last year. Pending sales are up 116% to last month and 6% to the same time last year.

Heidi and I feel the uptick in the market directly correlates to the pandemic and the global changes it has made to how people live. “Home” now conjures a different set of rules and expectations. A home is now a place that functions on all levels of life and living. Vast numbers of people are currently working from home, schooling from home, sheltering in place for long periods, and even staycations. We are seeing that most people wish to upgrade their current circumstances, and if they are able, they are doing so by moving into a dwelling that avails itself to all these additional special requirements. 

An article recently published in The Press Democrat by Meg McConahey How Covid-19 is forcing homeowners to rethink design mimics what we are witnessing with buyers. What people are looking for in a home has changed. Buyers are looking for more flexibility in a house and the spaces within. It gives a whole new meaning to the phrase “home sanctuary.”

Does your home make you happy? Give us a call. We would love to help you find your unique sanctuary here in Sonoma County.

Sebastopol Real Estate At A Glance

Our new office in the heart of downtown Sebastopol gives us a unique perspective on the overall activity in our thriving town. We watch the consistent pedestrian traffic of shoppers, workers, and tourists, coming in and out of various places of business; children playing on the plaza square, and bicyclists riding along our newly dedicated bike lane. There is a gentle hum of activity throughout the day that is pleasant to witness and be a part of. Our real estate market mimics this buzz of activity.

Sebastopol Real Estate MarketThe Sebastopol real estate market has always been competitive and seems to hover around a slight Seller advantage. The current market is no different. While the Market Action Index shows some strengthening in the last few weeks. Even though average prices have settled into a bit of a plateau, we anticipate things to start increasing shortly due to being in a Seller’s market. When the advantage is to the seller, however slight, prices are likely to resume their climb. Current trends show the median list price for a Sebastopol home is $960,000 with a price per square foot of $529.

By measuring the rate of sales versus the inventory we can see there is a slight Seller’s advantage. With the Market Action Index (real estate supply and demand) at 34, it is showing an increase over last week of 32, indicating an increase in market activity.

Sebastopol Real Estate Market

There are a variety of homes, land, and business opportunities on the market right now. Currently, Heidi and I have listed an amazing wine country property on Harrison Grade Road in Sebastopol. Situated on a quintessential Sebastopol road of gentle curves and picturesque landscapes of vineyards, apple orchards, and homes, this listing does not disappoint.

 

We have a number of exciting listings in Sebastopol. Cotati, Healdsburg, Petaluma, Willow Creek, and Camp Meeker as well. From a fabulous retreat style home, an equestrian property, a 400+ acre property, to a commercial development opportunity and a legal/permitted cannabis grow site, there is never a shortage of unique and inspiring real estate in Sonoma County.

It is exciting to see the growth in our community from year to year. We can always count on this market to keep things lively. We welcome all your questions about the market. We also offer a no strings attached, free estimate on any property’s value. It is always interesting to see where your property might fall in our diverse and growing market.

Renovated Estate Genuinely Rooted in Sonoma Wine Country

Randy and I have been very fortunate over the years to represent some pretty amazing homes and estates throughout Sonoma county. Some have been filled with history, or architecturally significant. Some have been sprawling wonders of luxury, and some just made us feel good upon entering. Our newest listing on Harrison Grade Road in Sebastopol is one of those homes that evokes a warm and inviting atmosphere, along with a tie to an old wine country family and offers many modern luxuries buyers have come to expect in a home.

3760 Harrison Grade Road Sebastopol

This Craftsman home offers a comfortable and relaxed environment while holding on to its original roots established by an esteemed wine family from the 1920s. The four-bedroom, three-bath home provides present, and future generations with all the modern comforts found in a luxurious home without compromising its history.

Built to last and encapsulate the cherished memories of all its inhabitants this timeless home features hardwood plank floors, large picture windows that bring the natural light inside and beautiful views in every room. Renovations to the original house were designed up by the current homeowners alongside Sebastopol architect, Lars Langberg. Hand-hewn redwood logs span its circumference as part of the foundation, ensuring the roots of this home are healthy.

Entertaining is a breeze in the chef’s kitchen featuring granite and quartz countertops, a 6 burner Electrolux gas range, stainless steel appliances, pantry, wine and beverage refrigerator and easy access to the outdoor spaces. The great room with open floor plan and wood burning fireplace offers cozy comfort for many or just one.

Awaken to cheerful sunlight in the master suite. Ample storage space and a spa-like ensuite celebrate the modern amenities we all enjoy. You will find views from every room in the home to enjoy until your heart’s content, and mind is at ease.

“We bought this house to free ourselves from the city. We wanted to raise our family in the country.” Both family and house received a full restoration.

“We will miss the moonlight through the palm tree, grand skyscapes ever-changing, geese flying by, foxes trotting along our footpaths, the occasional coyote chorus and echoing owls. Juicy peaches from the two spindly trees, the cool fog that rolls in after a hot day and how surprisingly good the water tastes. We will remember the outdoor kitchen, the gardens, the fireplace, and bocci ball. The sound of 100 frogs in our pond every spring, the masses of Robins and Starlings gathered high atop the redwood trees and how free our children lived here and how they grew into adults. Our local Occidental community has also provided us with so much nourishment over the years, like Howards for breakfast, coffee at the Union Hotel, and drinks at Joe’s Bar. We take with us a lifetime of happy memories, full bellies, and light hearts.”

The best way to see the home is through the eyes of those that have lived here before. They can suggest the best parts that you cannot see or feel on your first tour. Things like: the southwest corner of the kitchen is the best window to read the morning paper in the sunshine or to watch the birds drinking from the fountain.

Retreat to an estate that is saturated with wine country roots.
Come and see for yourself where your true wine country lifestyle fits right in.
