Affordable and effi cientWelcome to the Solar

World/Live Light Energy 2011 Street of A� ordable Homes – a showcase of � ne energy ef-� cient homes located on Bull Mountain in Tigard.

This year’s show features � ve solar-powered homes, all built to Earth Advantage Silver standard levels. We are proud to present the � rst all-solar home show in the region, and look forward to showing the show attendees that solar is a great option and value, with long-term energy savings for the buyer.

Located at Arlington Heights III in Tigard, these homes are � ve minutes from Bridgeport Village for shop-ping and dining, ten minutes from Washington square, close to downtown, and 20 minutes to Intel’s Ronler Acres. Tigard is a great com-

munity in which to locate. Excellent schools and a devel-oping parks system make the Tigard community, a special place to live.

In this year’ show, all of the homes are � tted with photo-voltaic solar panels, built local-ly in Hillsboro by Solar World, one of the oldest and largest solar companies in the world. These solar panels are a great value. A home � tted with a two KW system, as showcased in all of show homes, will save the average homeowner be-tween 15% to 20% on their monthly electrical bills. All of the solar systems in this year’s show have been installed by another local company, one of the largest installers of pho-tovoltaic systems: Live Light Energy.

In addition to adding solar systems, all of the builders in

the show built their homes to Earth Advantage Silver stan-dards. Earth Advantage sets strict energy savings guide-lines, and inspects each and every home during the con-struction process to verify that the Silver standards have been met. Some of the Silver stan-dard speci� cations are: higher value insulated windows; better indoor air quality thru increased fresh air exchang-es; lower heat loss/gain by a sealed building wrap system; high e� ciency light bulbs; low-� ow plumbing � xtures that save on monthly water bills; Energy Star rated appli-ances that save on electric bills; high e� ciency furnaces; and high e� ciency water heaters. All of the above items ensure the buyer that this home will reduce all monthly utility bills for years to come.

Joining us again this year are JT Roth Construction Inc. a lo-cal builder, and past President of the Metro area HBA; Sky-line Homes and Design, win-ner of last year’s “Best of Show” award; Timberland Homes, another past President of the Metro area HBA; and my com-pany Stone Bridge Homes NW, building homes number one and number four.

Thank you for visiting our show. Enjoy touring these beautiful homes and experi-encing all of their many energy saving features.

Many shades of greenSolar energy is not only a way to ”go green” — it also helps you save some green

By Kevin Curry

With benefits to both the monthly home budget and the environment, it’s easy to see why solar energy is fast becoming one of the most popular ways for people to “go green” at home.

“Solar electric power makes sense for the pocketbook as well as the planet,” said Kev-in Keene of SolarWorld.

“People grasp solar’s sim-ple logic of harvesting en-ergy from the sun at the very site where the power is used — on their rooftops — with-out any need for fuels, noise, moving parts, maintenance or exhaust,” Keene said.

Financially, a solar photo-voltaic system in a new home does more than just reduce your monthly electric bill.

“Solar adds value to a home in terms of long-term energy savings and resale value,” said Keith Knowles of Live-

Light Energy.Helping drive the afford-

ability of a solar system in the home are various incentives from both private and pub-lic sources. These incentives include ones from the State of Oregon as well as from EcoTrust of Oregon. in addi-tion, buyers can take a feder-al tax credit based on the full cost of the system.

“The great news is that Street of Affordable Homes buyers can take advantage of all tax credits,” Knowles said.

As part of the show, the or-ganizer, Stone Bridge Homes NW, purchased Business en-ergy Tax Credit applications, which were approved by the Oregon Department of Ener-gy. Show builders are passing these along to homebuyers.

After these Business energy Tax Credits and the EcoTrust of Oregon incentives, the

net price of the system drops from the base price of $13,000 to just $3,500. in addi-tion, buyers get a Federal Tax Credit on the full $13,000 base price, which amounts to $4,330.

“The cost for a new Street of Af-fordable Home system is built into the mortgage and costs the buyer about $35 per month,” Knowles said. “With average energy savings on electric utility bills of at least $25 per month, it is easy to see the motivations for creating a new home com-plete with a solar photovoltaic system in place.”

With fi nancial incentives helping to drive interest in so-lar, governments, non-profi ts and even local businesses

are all getting involved in the promotion. Keene points

to programs by cities like Beaverton, Portland

and Pendleton as examples of

local jurisdic-tions helping both new and existing h o m e o w n -ers. in addi-

tion, home builders are be-

ginning to make solar a standard option

in new homes. Finally, some businesses have organized group-buy programs for their employees to help cut costs even further.

So, don’t let the popular per-ception of Oregon’s weather – the clouds and rain – deter you from considering solar for your next new home.

“Solar works better in cloudy Oregon than it does in the leading world market, Germany,” said Keene

“With average energy savings on electric utility bills of at least $25 per month, it is easy to see the motivations for creating a new home complete with a solar photovoltaic system in place.”

A modern approach to old world designMerging centuries-old craftsman techniques with modern materials is “in” at the 2011 Street of Affordable Homes

By Kevin Curry

Soothing colors, quality materials and new features in the kitchen top the list of new design trends visitors will see at the 2011 Street of Afford-able Homes. Whether you’re looking for ideas and fea-tures in a new home, or ideas to reinvigorate your current home, you’ll find them here.

Tammy Lefever of Interi-or Motives Accents and De-signs has found her clients interested in design ideas that bring tranquility and harmony to their lives. “At this time our desires seem to be focusing on emotional value, quality, purpose, craftsman-ship, vintage items and redis-covery,” Lefever says. “Clients seem focused on a slower paced lifestyle with an inter-est in science, health, harmo-ny and spiritual identity.”

She sees that reflected in the colors they choose, like shades of blue, green, aqua

and earth tones. She expects splashes of color, however, to become more prominent over the next year, as well as how different textures interact.

“Additional color trends emerging next year seem to be shades of grape, berry and amethyst, to contrast with citron, pistachio and orange,” she says. “But don’t forget, there will be lots of juxtapos-ing play between textures, metallics and bright contrast-ing colors.”

Anissa Crane of Cascadia Consulting and Interiors, who works for Stonebridge Homes, sees home design continuing to focus on qual-ity natural materials. She points to the lovely strand bamboo floors in the vista home at this year’s show. This hardwood floor is durable and long lasting, in addition to being beautiful.

Crane also sees more exam-ples of home design allowing homeowners to enjoy the

outside environment – even when they are inside.

“in the vista, visitors will see the new double sided fireplace that is open to both inside the house and outside,” she says. “This creates living space on a covered veranda and families can enjoy the fire inside the home or outside.”

Both designers say there are ways homeowners can add new style and design to their existing home on a affordable budget. Simple fixes to pulls, new pillows or artwork and lighting can be done without breaking the bank.

“Don’t forget the jewelry!” Crane says. “if you are tired of your current cabinets, but cannot afford to change them or paint them, consid-er adding new hardware to them. Knobs come in differ-ent colors, sizes and textures. They can help to add a new dimension to the kitchen,

much like jewelry can change up an outfit.”

Lefever enjoys the flexibili-ty and affordability that other simple items bring to jazzing up a home. “Home accents such as rugs, pillows and throws, art and florals, can al-ways create a new look at an affordable price,” she says.

Finally, light fixtures are an easy an affordable way to add new style to your home.

“new light fixtures that are energy efficient but are proportionate to the space can make a huge difference and add new glamour to any space,” Lefever says.

Crane agrees. “it is not hard to do and what a difference good lighting can make in a home and you get instant im-pact because not only does it change the look of your fix-tures, it also can light up a dark room or soften a relax-ing space.”

The 2011 Street of Afford-able Homes features homes with high-efficiency indoor natural gas appliances in-cluding gas furnaces, water heaters, fireplaces and rang-es. All terrific, making your new home comfy and cozy year round.

But when you think about living in your new home, don’t just think about your indoor ap-pliances — meet the new kid on the block. The newest trend is all about outdoor living. For-

merly known as the backyard, it’s really an extra room.

Outdoor rooms are an ex-tension of living space and provide an opportunity for social interaction and a con-nection with nature. People live in these spaces now in-stead of just looking at them. They give us a reason to get outside, recharge, and relax.

Whether it’s an outdoor kitchen, a pizza oven, or a simple gas grill and prep area, people are drawn to the

tantalizing aromas and tastes of outdoor cooking.

everyone who likes to cook will love grilling with natu-ral gas. natural gas grills are the secret sauce to gourmet cooking. natural gas pro-vides complete control of the flame, from low heat for slow smoking and grilling, to high heat for braising and searing.

natural gas grills are conve-nient, safe, and easy to use. ever run out of propane in the middle of your barbeque?

Forget about it. natural gas grills tap directly into your home’s natural gas supply.

natural gas grills can be mounted on a permanent post, built into a brick base or put on a cart with a quick-disconnect so the grill can be easily moved. Today’s quick disconnect valves and fit-tings and flexible natural gas supply hoses make it easy to change the location of your outdoor appliances.

So get out there and grill!

The hottest new technology

if you’d like to save energy and increase flavor, consider switching to the latest in outdoor cooking technol-ogy – infrared. The heat from the burner of an infrared grill heats the food and not the surrounding air.

This intense heat sears the outside of your food, locks the moisture and flavor inside, and cooks food faster. you save en-ergy, eliminate pre-heating the grill and shorten your cooking time. infrared grilling gives you the flavor of a hot charcoal fire with the control of a natural gas flame. Available for sev-eral years only on expensive high-end grills, infrared is now available in a variety of mod-erately priced grills. if it’s time for a new grill in your backyard, check out energy saving, flavor enhancing infrared!

The Hampton

The Hampton home is a cross between the prim

white farmhouse meets the beach community. Designed exclusively for the unique property set on a green space with wild landscapes and a free flowing creek through the rear yard. The phrase “form fol-lows function” wasn’t coined by an American farmer—but it might have been. It is an

idea that clearly had a hand in shaping our rural architec-ture. This three bedroom great room home is about the open spaces and simplicity in archi-tecture. Where the outdoors become one with the indoors. An outdoor fireplace creates an all year round outdoor liv-ing area that will be a place for all the family to be. The Coun-try Kitchen setup is perfect for

the whole family to enjoy with one another. Our den will be a great office space for the home working person or just a great space for home research area. A large master suite with an exterior veranda overlooking a creek will make for a great eve-ning getaway. This is a home that will make vacation a part of your everyday living.

Information is key when purchasing your new home

you’re excited to buy a new home, but a little afraid of navigating the financial as-pects of the process. Where do i start? Can i qualify for a loan? if so, how much will i qualify for?

if you’re already thinking about these questions, then you’re on the right track. edu-cating yourself and gathering information before you start the process is the best thing to do.

“The most important thing

a potential home buyer can do,” says David Churchill of Bank of Ameri-ca, “is to enter the home buying pro-cess as informed and prepared as possible.”

Bank of America offers a se-ries of online tools at www.BankOfAmerica.com/My-Home that are an excellent place to start. Whether you’re purchasing your first home or

your next home, the site walks you through questions and helps you gather information you’ll need to be prepared.

understanding your per-sonal financial situation is also one of the top things a buyer can do early in the pro-cess, says Theresa Springer, a senior mortgage banker with Directors Mortgage. Having that information early allows you to not only understand what you can afford, but also to take steps to fix any finan-cial issues you may face.

“Whether you think you are ready or not, always sit down with a professional licensed mortgage loan officer and see where you stand finan-cially,” Springer says.

“That way we can take care of any issues that may poten-tially hurt your capability to purchase, and help guide you with advice as to mortgage in-surance, down payment needs and types etcetera, so you can make an informed decision.”

One of the biggest fears Springer hears from potential home buyers is that they won’t qualify for a loan in these chal-lenging financial times. She says that while qualifying is tougher, it isn’t impossible.

“Loans are definitely harder to qualify for but not as hard as the media and others make it out to be,” Springer says. “you must be a good borrow-er with moderate to excellent credit, have some reserves and show credit intelligence.”

She says lenders have re-turned to the “old fashioned way of the four Cs: credit quality; cash reserves; char-acter; and collateral.”

To help you make the pur-chase work, Churchill recom-mends talking to a lender about what down payment and closing cost assistance programs a buyer might qualify for.

“Many local and state hous-ing agencies, municipalities and nonprofit organizations provide down payment and closing cost assistance to qualified borrowers,” he says.

Finally, Churchill says to know what you can comfort-ably afford to buy. Subtract the projected monthly pay-ment, property taxes, insur-ance and home upkeep costs from your monthly income.

“A good target is to spend less than about one-third of your income on housing.”
