NOVEMBER 2009

Thinking of selling your property? With the high inventory levels in today’s housing market, anything a property owner can do to stand apart from the competition is crucial. You may be surprised by how many buyers are specifically looking for homes that are eco-friendly. So, go for the green and get more green… dollars, that is. According to a National Association of Realtors report, 46% of buyers would like to own a green home. Remodeling green and even just making green improvements will save you money and help sell your house. Ask your Realtor to research homes in your area built green or going green. Then, once you’ve made your green improvements, be sure your Realtor has documentation to show potential buyers why your property is superior to those that aren’t green.

GETTING STARTED It may seem like an overwhelming project, but think like our friends at Nike and “just do it.” Follow these top seven tips to help you green-up your residence for sale.

1. Go ENERGY STAR Anything using energy costs money in two ways: the purchase price of the appliance and the monthly energy bill. Show buyers that you have replaced appliances with ENERGY STAR-qualified products wherever possible (water heater, washer/dryer, A/C unit, refrigerator, and dishwasher). Replace incandescent light bulbs with ENERGY STAR compact fluorescent ones – CFLs – for further savings. Buyers should be able to expect a 10 – 50% energy savings with these products.

2. Beef up the Insulation Programmable thermostats can save an additional 10% off heating and cooling bills. Insulate ceilings to R-30 standards, wrap heating/cooling ducts with mastic sealant, caulk windows/doors, install heat-reflecting window tint and replace old windows with improved dual-pane windows.

3. Get Healthy Improve indoor air quality for those with allergies, asthma and chemical sensitivities and reduce exposure to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by repainting with low-VOC paints. Remove old carpets and get rid of other allergens and toxins. Either replace with hardwood floors certified by the Forest Stewardship Council or other eco-friendly materials such as bamboo, cork or concrete. There is even eco-friendly carpeting on the market now too.

4. Low-Flow – the Way to Go Install efficient low-flow showerheads, an inexpensive way (about $15 each) to show buyers how they can save on resources and keep the water pressure strong. Go low-flush with toilets too.

5. Tune up the HVAC Every year, professionally tune up your HVAC system and show another 5 – 10% savings. Clean and/or replace air filters every month.

6. Organic Cleaning Products Buyers will be looking in your cabinets. Show them you clean green. Switch to eco-friendly and organic cleaning products.

7. Appliances in Tip-Top ShapeEnsure that your refrigerator door is closing as tight as it should. If you can easily pull a piece of paper out of the closed door, it may need adjusting. Check that your oven door doesn’t have any small tears and that the seal is tight. Most buyers prefer gas stovetops, and gas costs less than half to use than an electronic stove. Consider replacing your stovetop with a gas stove equipped with an electronic pilotless ignition in lieu of a constantly burning pilot light.

Cervena Venison Loin organic vegetables, parsnip potato cake,

and balsamic chili glaze

Featuring elements 5700 E. McDonald Dr. • Paradise Valley

480.607.2300 or sanctuaryoncamelback.com

Ingredients:1 6 oz. cervena venison loin1/2 Tbs. ground tellicherry peppercorns1 sprig fresh rosemary1 Idaho potato (peeled & cleaned)1 parsnip (peeled & cleaned)4 oz. olive oil1 cup balsamic vinegar1/2 cup honey2 cloves garlic1 sprig thyme1/8 tsp. red pepper flakes2 cipollini onions2 baby carrots1 cup spinach

Procedure:1. Grind peppercorns and chop parsley. Season venison with salt, peppercorns and rosemary. Sear both sides of venison on high heat for one minute. Place venison in oven at 350 degrees for four minutes. Let rest.

2. Julienne potato and parsnip. Mix together in shallow eight-inch sauté pan. Add oil. Once oil begins to smoke add potato cake. Keep the pan moving so that the potato cake doesn’t stick. Cook for five minutes. Let potato cakes brown on each side. Remove from oil.

3. Combine balsamic vinegar, garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes in a shallow sauce pan. Reduce by two-thirds. Add honey. Reduce for two minutes, strain. Season with salt and pepper.

4. Reheat venison in oven for two minutes.

5. Sauté fresh baby carrots and cipollini onions. Add spinach.

6. Place potato cake in center of plate with vegetables. Slice venison thinly and place on top of vegetables. Drizzle balsamic chili glaze around plate. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Abundant with plants and wildlife, the beauty of the Sonoran Desert is as stunning as it is remarkable. Our surrounding desert is home to over 60 species of mammals, over 350 species of birds, nearly 20 amphibians, 100 different kinds of reptiles, 30 native fish species and over 2000 species of plants. The animals of the desert are not only able to survive the harsh elements, they are designed to thrive. The survival adaptations of desert animals are actually quite simple: they find ways to avoid the heat and sun and subsist with little water. Most desert animals are nocturnal; active at night and hunkering down in shade and shelter during the day. So as we wind down in the evenings, take a moment to think about the life that is teeming all around us. As the hot sun sets, creatures great and small begin to stir. Some say the true beauty of our desert can only be appreciated at night. Perhaps they’re right. Nocturnal animals have special adaptations that help them survive in the dark. Many nocturnal animals, such as owls and cats, have special eyes that see well in low light. Some nocturnal animals, like bats, use echolocation, in which the animal emits a high-pitched sound which bounces off objects. The sound is then received by the animal, giving it information about the object’s shape, direction, distance, and texture. Many

other animals such as rabbits have good hearing to compensate for the darkness. As night falls, so begins the hunt for food. Predators slink from their dens in search of their next meal; an easier task at night since their prey is also out searching for food. If you listen carefully you may hear the calls of a coyote pack closing in on a rabbit, the gruff snorts of a javelina herd foraging for roots, bulbs and cacti, or kangaroo rats scurrying to gather caches of seeds. What you most likely WON’T hear is the regal flight of an owl. With a silent but deadly swoop, owls descend upon their prey with soundless stealth. Even the creepiest of desert dwellers wait until nighttime to feed, create shelter and mate. Tarantulas surround their burrows with a silken “welcoming mat” which vibrates like guitar strings and alerts them of potential prey. Male scorpions perform “dances” to attract a mate and Gila monsters lumber from their homes in the cover of darkness. Most plants collect water through their pores during the day. Cacti and other desert plants, however, have adapted to desert life by conserving energy during daylight and waiting to open their pores in the cool of night. One of the most unusual desert plants is the Night-Blooming Cereus. It’s not a very attractive plant and probably wouldn’t gain the attention or admiring eyes of most. But those lucky enough to encounter it the one midsummer’s night each year when its flower opens at nightfall will be mesmerized by its beautiful scent. But take in the beauty quickly as it closes for another year with the approach of the morning sun.
