Who are “they” you ask? They are the buyers. The #1 upgrades that “they”
want.

By: Sheri Karp

If you are living in a home that still has cottage cheese ceilings then get
rid of it! Yes, it is messy. Yes, you might have to leave the house for
a few days. Yes, I know that you have lived with it for all these years and
you are okay with it. And Yes, the buyer could do it when you move out.
BUT they won’t buy your home….not unless the price reflects it 10 times
over! The cottage cheese ceilings age your home. Buyer’s don’t comment
when you don’t have it but when you do, they have a lot to say.

And PINK. I hear buyer’s saying, “all these Morrison Ranch homes are pink, Asbestos_popcorn_ceiling_texture
what’s that about?” So if you have an opportunity to take your home out of
the 80′s then that’s the next step. What are the “newest” neutrals, you
ask. The experts are saying, taupe’s and grays and golds.

And gold. The buyer’s do not like gold (yes, they liked it in paint but not
on the metals). They want all the fixtures and fittings in our homes to be
silver or black or nickel. You can have all the gold dipped, I hear.

Now saying all this, I worry that next year I will be putting out a
newsletter saying that PINK is the new neutral and gold fixtures are
back! I can bet on it though that cottage cheese ceilings are not coming
back!

Phase I Completed

By: Sheri Karp

Lindero Canyon Middle School

Lindero Canyon Middle School is completing phase I of a $30million capital construction project. Phase I is schedule to be completed by June 2010. The New Media Center and Science Building is underway as well as a new administration building. There’s a disproportionate investment into the science classrooms and the media centers, intentionally. The classrooms are a bit bigger than before but they are fairly vanilla. The 2 story building housing the state of the art science classrooms along with dozens of new classrooms and an exceptional library media center.

The construction project is scheduled to be completed in 2011. The Lindero Canyon Middle School campus was the last school in Las Virgenes that hasn’t been renovated. It is a 40 year old campus and was in dire need of expansions and renovation. They have been an award winning school before these renovations now there will be a new sense of pride from parents, teachers and students.
