Reaching communities
Mark Lawrence travels to Birmingham to meet a medium-sized housing association providing a large amount of specialist services to residents. What can other organisations learn from its multifarious approach?
Smaller associations get little recognition when conversation around the good work of housing associations piques. But it is often these that pack the biggest punch.
One such organisation, that consists of a housing association, a registered charity and commercial arm, is Trident Group.
As a Group they provide services to around 8,000 people, with Trident Housing providing over 3,400 homes; and Trident Reach providing floating support to those who are homeless, those who suffer mental health problems, those who have suffered domestic abuse, and those who require specific support such as young people, older people, and minority groups.
Part of this offer is all about providing supported housing to "disadvantaged individuals who have multiple and complex needs", including those with mental health problems or those suffering or have suffered from domestic abuse.
The Group is especially proud of its homelessness offer. "We have adapted it to be flexible to the needs of the city," says Helen Litherland, the Group's Executive Lead for Housing, Care, and Support.
"Where we historically had a service where people came into it, were given a needs and risk assessment, a key worker and outcomes to achieve, it can be pretty overwhelming for someone coming into a hostel setting for the first time.
"So, we sectioned off a piece of the hostel which had its own entrance. It was very much 'come in and get a feel for the environment'. It was aimed at encouraging people to try it and then get them to try the main service."
It was this "light touch" approach that encouraged the group to introduce a couple's access to remove some of the barriers preventing people seeking help.
"People that formed friendships and became co-dependent could access hostel accommodation, but rarely at the same time dependent on bed space," says Litherland.
"What we offer is rooms for couples to encourage people to come in, but not lose their support network."
Though often overlooked, pets play a big role in supporting those forced to live on the street. Accommodating both owner and pet had helped increase the number of rough sleepers seeking access to Trident Reach.
"They have all gone through trauma, but this is about allowing them to put that to one side, come in with a partner or dog and help them come through that," says Jas Samra, Senior Community Safety Officer at Trident Group.
"Dealing with the trauma is then what we put out specialised support workers. That was the big chance for us, when we accepted them."
But Samra admits there are problems with the approach. As the pathway becomes increasingly sought after, there becomes less accommodation suitable for pets, and many staff show initial concerned about "scary looking" dogs being brought in.
It is the first time the word 'pathway' is used, but Housing and Reach services working closely together to give rise to these pathways forms a crucial part of the Trident Group Mantra.
"When transitioning into general needs housing, we ensure that we identify any ongoing support needs that are required," Litherland explains. "When you are in a supported environment, people are cocooned in a package of support.
"It is about being able to sustain that when they move into the general needs housing.
"One of the things with the interconnectedness is that people didn't have to retell their story when they move into the general need – it all filtered through."
This interconnectedness means the Group can work with tenants to increase or decrease support when needed. A lack of change also means there are fewer disruptions in the journey to getting back on track, but also that the support is always there should there be a relapse.
Litherland and Samra say this helps the two arms of the business "identify issues sooner and stop tenancy breakdowns or breaches".
Talk turns to some of the issues that comes with providing services to BME communities, including tackling female genital mutilation (FGM).
Samra says that while "we don't come across it often", the partnership working in the West Midlands is vital to combating the practice and ensuring all agencies work to stop it from happening.
"I tell our Locality Officers, 'get yourself known in your patch,' because should there be anything in an individual's path later on, housing will hold a key bit of the jigsaw.
"We hold a lot of information. We are not always necessarily needed now, but it might be key further down the line, and that is why those relationships are so important.
"We work with the local policing team, local mental health team, local partnership meetings with Bishops. It is definitely a fundamental part of what we do every day."
Litherland adds: "Achieving the needs of an individual is only going to be done through partnership working. Housing is the link to health, education or any support needs, and it is important that housing is around the table contributing to other people's agendas and strategies.
Trident Group's efforts are bearing fruit, with reduced numbers of rough sleepers, those with mental health conditions supported into secure tenancies, and domestic abuse survivors receiving the support they need.
But what needs to be done to ensure these services can, at worst, simply continue or, at best, make a more substantial impact?
For Trident Reach, the short-term contracts handed out to aid the delivery of services can sometimes fall victim to "changing landscapes", which increases uncertainty.
"The ability of other agencies and partners to commit to the partnerships is another challenge," says Samra.
"Other agencies have their resources limited so some of the add on value gets restricted. Partnership working is key, but the ability to really commit to that is important."
Samra says that the other partners around the table could do more so that "it doesn't all just sit with housing".
She adds: "It is just keeping on telling partners how to do it.
"Everyone has their own specialism – tap into them to help that individual. Don't try and do it all on your own.
"We have done the biggest part, taking them off the street, now let's get everyone to tap in and help sustain their tenancy."

Gough-Econ - Multi Axis Bucket Elevator
Australis Engineering has recently announced the availability in Australia of Elecon Multi-Axis Bucket Elevators/Conveyors.
It is the only conveyor available that can move bulk materials in all three directions; vertical, horizontal and even around corners. It truly is the "Go Anywhere conveyor".
The Elecon Multi-Axis Bucket Conveying System is ideal for handling loose fragile product, for example, pasta, cereal, biscuit, lollies, coffee, coconut, nuts, pet food, coins or any small metal component. As there is no need to transfer product between multiple conveying systems, the chances of damaging or spilling product is greatly reducedand the Elecon offers a very 'gentle' discharge of your product.
Besides the typical vertical and horizontal movement, the Elecon's buckets actually turn corners! No other conveying system in the world is as flexible as the Elecon. This three-axis capability is a result of its patented chain design and wedge-shaped buckets. Because it's so flexible, the Elecon system can handle virtually any circuit design you can imagine including multiple infeed and discharge points.Using a patented bi-axial chain, the Elecon is the world's only conveyor that can move materials in all three directions.
Watch YouTube video to see just how amazing this conveyor is!
Product can be inputted and discharged exactly where needed or even in multiple locations without using multiple elevator and conveyor combinations. Don't rearrange your equipment layout to suit the conveying system – use a flexible conveying system that allows you more options for plant layout!
The system can handle virtually any circuit layout you can imagine and with multiple inlet and discharge locations as required. The system is perfect where high level transfer of product from the production to the packaging area is needed.
Other benefits include:

Parking Passes for Visitors
Dear Dean's Office & Dept. Admins:
Due to the new parking permit system the university is implementing where vehicle license plates are the parking permit, this changes the way we help our guests with parking. Hanging passes will no longer be available for sale. (Any unused hanging passes will still be honored).
Day & week passes are now purchased online individually. Your Department must set up a vendor number with Commuter Services. You can then purchase a pass with your guest's license plate number, Dept. vendor # and your P-card.
In an effort to facilitate the process for our guests, please remember to kindly inform them of the new system and the need to provide their license plate number prior to their arrival.
1) Pre-register for a pass: You can call days ahead with your guests arrival & departure date, license plate number, Dept. vendor # and your P-Card.
2) You can call the day of the meeting with guest license plate number, Dept. vendor # and your P-card
3) After September 15 - (If their system is ready) you can go online and do pre-registration or same day purchases - again, with license plate number(s), Dept vendor # and your P-card.

Directions to MEB
Trying to send visitors to MEB?
Here's the text I created:
The Merrill Engineering Building is at:
50 S Central Campus Drive, Salt Lake City, UT 84112
Google maps: http://bit.ly/1kuJ7d1
There's a large parking lot in front of MEB.
The front office, third floor, room 3190, can distribute parking passes.
To reach MEB from downtown, take 100 South toward and into the University.
Eventually, 100 South makes a sharp left and turns directly into North Campus Drive.
North Campus Drive winds immediately around a large parking lot and a large, black, glass box-like building.
That building is MEB.
Without snow, it looks like this:
You can turn directly into the parking light from N Campus Drive.
If, instead, you reach the first stoplight on N Campus Drive, you can make a right onto Central Campus Drive, and another right to enter the parking lot.

Protein dynamics help explain protein behavior
The traditional approach for structural biology is to focus on static images. While these images capture the essence of their subject, they're lacking in relevant insight into the behavior of the subject in different environments. Our approach builds upon the static images by adding an additional dimension of protein dynamics, thereby giving insight into the process of an event rather than looking only at the outcome of an event. We can monitor dynamics by measuring how quickly proteins exchange protons with their environment. Stable, well-folded proteins take up fewer protons. Dynamic or unfolded proteins take up more protons To illustrate a simple use for this technique, We'll look at two model proteins which form a complex. The binding site is more flexible than the rest of the protein and these two segments must come together to create the binding site for protein 2, thus allowing the protein complex to form. Now let's expand our example to include a small-molecule X, which enhances the binding affinity between these proteins. The binding site for X was mapped and it's surprisingly distant from the binding site for protein 2. How does this work? When we look at the dynamics of this protein in the presence of X, we see that upon binding, X stabilizes the protein 2 binding site, thus shifting equilibrium toward complex formation. It's now clear why X enhances the binding affinity between these proteins. This is just one simple illustration of how studying protein dynamics can give us insight into protein behavior. Thanks for watching!

01 July 2013
I am pleased to announce a new stockist of Stone Hens Ceramics ceramic buttons, Hanks Yarn Shop in Anglesey, (see stockist page for address).
A lovely shop stocking beautiful yarn and from Friday 5th of July, my buttons too!
Last week, I had a very good meeting with FelinFach, a lovely company who specialise in making beautiful products from Welsh textiles. I designed buttons for them exclusively last year, and am thrilled to be designing for them again, as well as supplying a selection of stoneware and porcelain buttons from my present range. All very exciting!
I am looking forward to setting up my stall over the next two weekends, firstly at Cowbridge Comprehensive School, on Saturday, July 6th at their Summer Fair and then the next weekend at The Kymin, Penarth on Sunday, July 14th for the Town Treasure Hunt and Family Fun Day as part of Penarth Festival, and also, in aid of Asthma UK.
And finally, I've never been one for Pimms, but I held a little family party at the weekend with a Wimbledon theme. There was a ladder in the garden with an Umpire sign on, tennis racquets and towels and umpteen tennis balls, home made signs to Centre Court, No. 1 Court etc, a few cucumber sandwiches (just for effect), and welcoming jugs of Pimms! I played with the recipie and this was my favourite!
1 large measure of Pimms, 1 lg measure of sparkling wine, 2 lg measures of lemonade, a sprig of bruised Mint, a few slices of Cucumber, a few sliced and crushed strawberries, a few slices of Orange, and a squeeze of fresh Orange. Lots of ice and a good stir!!! Summer in a jug!

It is extremely important to make a good evaluation of student's previous knowledge at the start of every course. This is done with intake tests: a short preliminary conversation and written and oral tests. The student's level is determined on the basis of the preliminary conversation and the tests.
We use the CEFR (Common European Frame of Reference) for this. The results of the conversation and the tests give us information about the student's starting level in the language. The tests not only give us insight into a student's language skills, they are also important in determining the content of the course and the teaching method (some students learn better aurally and others visually). Based on the language level objectives are set and a lesson programme is developed with the student. Later in the learning process the student will be tested again and the knowledge acquired will be assessed using the CEFR
As the diagram above shows, there are six language levels.
A Proficient user
A1 Breakthrough
A2 Waystage
B Independent user
B1 Threshold
B2 Vantage
C Basic user
C1 Effective, Operational, Proficiency
C2 Mastery
For each level there are competences or skills (so-called "Can-do" statements) set for understanding, listening, reading, speaking (interaction and reproduction) and writing. We get a global view of students' language level and can situate them on a scale (level A, B or C) as described in the CEFR.

Focus Shifts to Balance Sheet Ahead of Fed Minutes
The biggest news expected today is from the Federal Reserve.
The bank will release the minutes of the February meeting during the US trading
session. This will be an important release that may lead to significant moves
in the markets.
In the previous meeting, the bank said that it was moving
from an increasing hawkish position to more dovish. Instead of more rate hikes
this year, the officials said that they will be patient. They argued that while
the US economy has shown some resilience, external factors like a slowdown in
the Chinese and global economy raised serious concerns. As a result, investors
are now pricing-in one or zero rate hike this year. This may be the year with
the least rate hikes after the Fed started tightening.
Another important thing that traders will look at is the
balance sheet statement. After the financial crisis, the bank moved to increase
its balance sheet. The goal was to make the financial system more
accommodative, with the goal of providing more growth. Since then, the balance sheet
has grown from under $1 trillion to more than $4 trillion. This happened during
the era of quantitative easing. This balance sheet is made up of bonds that the
central bank bought. The concern among the market participants is that the
shrinking of the balance sheet is happening at the same time as the Fed is
tightening. As such, the obvious question is this: 'if the Fed's easing was a
good thing for the market, why should tightening not be bad?'
In recent months, the Federal Reserve has struggled on how
to communicate with the market. In October, the Fed chair said that the Federal
Reserve was a 'long way' from the neutral rate. In December, he said that the
balance sheet operation was on autopilot. In December, he spooked the market by
his hawkish tone, which led to a sharp decrease in the stock market.
This year, he has started to correct his mistakes. In the
January meeting and in other speeches, the governor said that the Fed will be
careful about the pace of rate hikes. Other Fed officials too have talked about
the need for moving on slowly with the rate hikes.
The minutes will be released at a time when economic data
from the US shows that the economy is still healthy. In the past two months,
the economy has added more than 600K jobs. The PMIs are doing well and just
yesterday, Walmart released better-than-expected results. The results by
Walmart are a good representation of the health of the consumer. The housing
numbers too have been good. At the same time, the US is engaging with talks
with China, which could go on well. The stock market has also recovered, with
the main indices growing by double digits this year. The dollar too has
remained being resilient as shown below.

Tindall Top 3 – Micro Climates
You've probably heard of micro climates before but don't think twice about it. But, when we're talking real estate, it may be something you should consider. Find out below what exactly a micro climate is and why they are important when making your real estate decisions.
What Is A Micro Climate?
A micro climate, by definition, is a small-scale area that experiences a different climate than the surrounding area. The micro climate will have a small variation of temperature, snowfall, rainfall, wind or humidity. Although it's only a small variation, it is noticeably different. They will typically occur due to features in the landscape such as mountains, elevation, and bodies of water.
One example of a micro climate is a forest. Under the canopy of trees it is typically colder, wetter and has different soil compared to the area surrounding the forest. If it wasn't for this micro climate, many organisms wouldn't be able to survive. A second example is a large urban area. There are many factors that affect the micro climate in a city, it is typically warmer due to the building materials that absorb heat and the tall buildings alter the wind flow.
Micro climates are essential to support unique ecosystems all over the world. You have likely noticed a micro climate, even if you didn't know what it was, as you were walking through a mountain meadow, valley, or marsh. They all work together like patches on a quilt to create the climate on the continent and throughout the entire globe.
Do We Have Them?
We do, in fact, have micro climates all over North Idaho. Because we have a higher elevation, are surrounded by mountain & bodies of water and also have valleys, we have many micro climates in a small area. Back in 2005, 27 different micro climates were identified. The biggest and most noticeable micro climate is a snow belt. This is an area where that's consistently getting more snow than the surrounding area. We have many snow belts in Northern Idaho. Some are naturally occurring due to the higher elevation and proximity to mountain, whereas others are due to higher population in one area which cause the average temperate to rise.
Why It Matters In Real Estate?
Wouldn't you want to know if you were purchasing a property that will have consistently longer and colder winters. Or one that will have a higher average temperature? This is important and necessary information to have when deciding on a home purchase or the area you'd like to live. That's where we come in! We know the area and many of the micro climates, we can steer you in the direction you need to live based on the climate you'd like to live in.

Spring Home Maintenance
If you're like us, on the first day of spring you're still waiting for the snow to melt so you can get on with enjoying spring properly. We've provided for you a quick home maintenance checklist of things to look over after a long winter.
Fall loves to dump leaves all over your roof and winter likes to cement them in your gutters. In early spring the freezing and thawing can cause the watery leaf dam to expand and crack your gutters and down spouts. Keep this frost heaving in check by cleaning out leaves as soon as you can. If you didn't catch it in time, the spring is a great time to inspect for damage and get it replaced, if needed. Remember, water that isn't directed away from the house can permeate into your foundation causing loads of problems down the road, that is why it's important for gutters to work properly.
Chimneys stick out like a sore thumb on the top of your house. That means they're especially vulnerable to the wind and inclement weather of North Idaho winters. There are some chimney features that really need to be inspected after a winter. Check for obvious problems like bricks that look out of place or… if it's fallen down. That's a good indicator of a problem. Check the flashing at the base of your chimney. That's the thin sheet of metal that keeps the water from puddling and directs it down the roof. Furthermore, a periodic cleaning of the inside bits will make it firstly, more efficient. And secondly, safer.
After a damp fall and winter your siding will most likely accumulate mold, mildew and dirt. You can easily fix this with a pressure washer. If you don't own one, they cost maybe $30 to rent for a day. When you hose your house down, two magical things will happen: you will experience the oddly satisfying pleasure of pressure washing and your house will look brand new. Seriously.
Some of the worst areas are under eaves and near downspouts. Any stains and mold in these places definitely indicate that there is a problem with how your gutters are handling roof water.
Remember when we said that water can permeate into your foundation and cause problems? Ground water is no joke and can completely compromise your home's structural integrity. Concrete is porous and readily holds water and that water will cause the concrete to break down over time. If you live in areas that get cold, you also run the risk of frost heaving. Both of these scenarios will cause your foundation to crack, or your home to be unsettled and shift.
The spring is your first opportunity to check your foundation for any problem areas. We recommend checking near downspouts and areas that tend to be waterlogged.
Shingles, slate and other roofing materials are not indestructible. While you're already on the roof checking out the smokestack and gutters, give the roof a good look over. Look for out-of-place shingles, sagging spots or raised shingles. Water will get in any way it can. Your vigilance will keep your roof at the apex of its abilities.
Additionally, check for moss or other organic material. Moss holds water like a pro and the last thing you want is water perched on your roof waiting to find a way in.
We have tons of leafy beautiful deciduous trees in our yards. Every spring, without fail, we find clumps of leaves we missed before the snow fell. When the snow is gone, go clean them up. Debris that is left on turf for too long will suffocate and deprive grass of valuable sunlight. This is also a perfect opportunity to rake and fertilize your lawn and give it the best fighting chance for yard of the month.
Spring is a great time to get started on getting the flower beds ready for the months of upcoming growth. After winter, your soil will be dried and packed, best to revitalize it with some compost or manure. This will increase the health of the soil and in turn, your plants. Trim up your existing shrubs and plants to allow for new growth. It is best to wait until mid-April or May to do this. If it's still getting too cold for plants to survive overnight, start seeding indoors. Vegetables and annuals can be started indoors 6-8 weeks before planting them. Once soil temperatures have reached the optimal temperature for your plants, get them in your prepared soil outside. Some recommendations for good spring flowers/scrubs include the following:
Vegetables like lettuce, peas and arugula
Transplanting tomato plants from indoor pots to outside
Many pests and critters breed in spring. You can help keep them in check by cleaning the places they would typically habituate. That includes basements, window sills, under cabinets, behind appliances and ceiling corners, just to start. Prevent unchecked population growth by getting rid of the dust and debris that would typically provide shelter. Keeping your counters and trash bins clean will offer less food to the critters. If you're more concerned with poisonous spiders or the bugs are taking over, call the pest exterminators!
Energy Rating
This winter, we found tons of drafts and cold places throughout our house. This is not good. Remember, air is small and goes wherever it wants. Including your bathroom windows and under your front doors. You get the idea, and just think of all the dollars you are literally letting slip through the cracks. My dad always used to yell "Close the door! We're not heating the neighborhood!" Turns out that if you don't repair the seals and weather strips, you are- in fact, heating the neighborhood.
Also. Bugs are small, they too come through the cracks. See above.
Climate Control
Your furnace was crucial during the winter and fall. Your AC will probably be a close friend during the summer. Take care of your friend before its in the triple digits. There are some really easy preventative maintenance tasks that you can do, or if you don't feel confident- call an HVAC technician to service and inspect it.
Some easy things you can do: clean and/or replace your air filters, check hose connections for leaks, dust/blow off/ vacuum dirt from fans & electronics and check drip pans.

How To Stage Your Home To Sell
Should I stage my home? This may be one of the most frequently asked questions when a person is putting their house on the market. This question is often followed by, How? There are many things to consider and we're here to help! Check out some tips below to get your home staged to sell.
1. Clean and Repair
Starting with the most obvious first, you want to make sure your home is sparkly clean with nothing damaged. Put your home's best foot forward with a good cleaning. If your home is large or you don't have enough time, you could always hire a pro. Also, be sure the outside of the home is cleaned in both the back and front yards. When a home is clean, it suggests to the potential buyer that the previous tenants took care of the home and property. Alongside cleaning, you should also patch and repair anything that could be a sign of neglect. Use a melamine foam eraser pad to remove any scuffs from the walls. If there are any holes in the walls, be sure to spackle, caulk and paint that area. Additionally, apply paint to any areas where it seems to have chipped. And once again, this goes for the yard too. The overall goal of this step is to make the home look well taken care of.
2. De-Clutter and De-Personalize
When it comes to clutter, the less you have, the larger your space looks… and space sells! You may need to find a spot to temporarily store your belongings. Do not store them in your garage or closets because often times those get looked in. Alongside de-cluttering is to de-personalize. Remove pictures, personal knickknacks and anything that could identify the space as yours. It may be difficult to remove all the things that make your home feel like you, but it'll be worth it.
3. Work On Curb Appeal
First impressions are everything. Often times potential home buyers will drive by the property first to make sure it's worth their time. Make sure it'll lure them in and make them feel like they could be walking into their home. Blooming flowers are always a nice way to add a bit of color and flare to the front of your home. Be sure everything is clean: siding, sidewalks, windows, and porch. Keep your lawn watered, mowed and overall put together. Your porch should have a clean doormat and neat porch furniture if there's room. Be sure your number is easily readable and even keep your lights on during the evening in case there are drive by's at night.
4. Brighten Things Up
Use the natural light to your advantage. Pull back curtains or open blinds, this will make the rooms feel bigger. Turn on all the lights, even during the day. This will help make your home look more inviting and save perspective buyers from fumbling around trying to find the switch. Also be sure your light fixtures are clean and appealing, even dusting your light bulb if needed. There are also different color temperatures on light bulbs, you could play with your options to find the one that works the best.
5. Rearrange Furniture
First, remove any damaged or large pieces of furniture or anything that doesn't match the rest of your decor. With what you have left, decide if there's still too many pieces or if you need more. You can always rent furniture if the home is too empty. Once your furniture is picked, you want to arrange it in a way that allows for plenty of open and walkable space. Additionally, there is a design technique called "floating" which positions your couches, chairs, and tables away from your walls. Add an area rug to make it feel more cozy, even if the room is carpeted.
6. Be Neutral
Bright colored walls can be a major turn off for buyers. Although it expresses individuality, it signifies the home's past, not future. Not to mention, bold colors distract from a rooms assets and can be all somebody sees. When picking the new paint for the wall, you do not have to go straight white. There are plenty of sophisticated neutral colors to choose from and they will help make everything look cleaner and put together. Additionally, when decorating the master bedroom specifically, remain neutral. You want to appeal to all types of people, including single or married.
7. Use Every Space
If you have a room that is used as storage or junk dumping area, clean it up. Each room should have a clearly defined purpose. Identify what a buyer could see, maybe it's an office, a spare bedroom, or a kids room and decorate accordingly. This goes for any awkward areas too. Whether that's a small nook or space under the stairs, decorate it in a way that can show off the potential. You could set up a small workstation, put up a bulletin board or build some shelves. Even if this means you need to rent or borrow additional furniture to make this happen.
Staging a home requires much time, effort and often times, money. It may not seem like it would be worth it. But let us assure you, it is! According the the National Association of Realtors, in March of 2019, 83% of buyers said that a staged home made it easier for them to visualize the property as a future home. 1/4 of the buyer's agents said that staging a home increased the dollar value offered between 1%-5% compared to homes that weren't staged. Often times, staging a home will provide you with the result you're looking for.

Should I Sell In Winter?
We get asked that question frequently. Or if a property is already on the market, sellers often ask if they should take it off. There are arguments as well as pros and cons for both schools of thought. We'll break down each side to help you make the decision on if you should list your home in the winter.
1. Less Competition
It's as simple as supply and demand. If there are fewer homes to choose from, your home will get more activity and showings, in turn, more offers for more money. Additionally, when there are fewer options, buyers tend to be less picky.
2. Buyers Are Serious
Although there are typically more buyers in the spring and summer, the serious buyers continue looking in the winter. If a buyer is truly serious, it doesn't matter the time of year. During the warmer months, people go to open houses just for fun, but in winter only the serious ones are out. And typically they have a pressing matter that is requiring them to find and close on a house quickly.
3. Online House Hunting Is Year Round
The internet has made house hunting from the warmth of your own home easier than ever. People are constantly looking at listings online. In fact, 93% of people use the internet in their home search and that's how most begin. The only time they have to deal with the cold is to see the shortlist of their absolute favorites.
4. Agents Are Up To The Challenge & Motivated
Since the winter months are a bit slower, most real estate agents are also slow. If you choose to sell during the winter, your agent will be able to focus more on you. But, you want to be sure you get a good agent that's up to the challenge. There are hurdles that need to be jumped when selling in winter and a good agent will know how to adapt to the current season and market the listings accordingly. They'll know the current market in the area and be able to provide you with tips and suggestions.
5. More From Out Of Town Are Looking
During the holiday season, many family members come from out of town to visit. So, if they are considering relocating, they would look at homes when they're in town. This often means they need to find a home fast and have a bit more financial flexibility. Additionally, people have more time off work and they take advantage of that by looking for their next home. Lastly, more people relocate for work in the first quarter of the year.
1. Curb Appeal Is Difficult
In the spring and summer months, it's easier to show off the curb appeal of your home with flowers, landscaping, and daylight until 9pm. Winter poses a problem since everything is covered by snow, and typically not fresh snow. Homes listed in winter are often viewed with things looking drab and worn because everything is brown and gray. You could decorate for the holidays, which will make it more appealing. On the plus side, you won't have to spend as much time meticulously working on your yard.
2. Weather Can Be Inconvenient
House hunting in winter can be a chore for the buyers. They'll need to bundle up and endure the cold temperatures. Fresh snow can also be a traveling hazards for potential buyers, so they may choose to stay home for the day. Also, you'll need to make sure your driveway and walkways aren't slick or snow covered. Those who do come to look at your home can track in salt and possibility mud, which you will then need to take extra time to clean after each showing.
3. Buyers Have Limited Budgets
Near the end of the year, many people have their money tied up in other financial obligations such as buying holiday gifts, traveling, setting aside money to pay taxes, or making sure their own home and car are winter ready. With such a tight budget, more people may not be willing to invest in a new home.
4. Buyers Have The Negotiating Power
Most sellers will get multiple offers in spring and summer because there are more buyers. When there are less, some buyers may drive a hard bargain. They may even think that a seller is desperate for any offer and so they low ball them. And often times, the seller accepts because they are worried they won't get another offer until spring.
If you have any additional questions or concerns about selling your home, in winter or otherwise, contact us! We're here to help, know the market, and can list your home appropriately.

Tindall Top 3 – Snow
North Idaho is B-E-A-U-tiful and its known for its mountains, lakes and abundant beauty. Its also known for it's snow! There is plenty to know about snow and here are some resources to tap into that will keep you informed and prepared.
The Statistics
In Coeur d'Alene the average amount of snow that falls is 42 inches, comparing that to the rest of the country with only 28 inches. Keeping in mind, the farther North you go, the more snow you will see. With Spirit Lake receiving approximately 52 inches a year and Sandpoint with 61 inches. December is typically the heaviest snowfall month with an average of 11.7 inches, and second heaviest is January with 10.4 inches.
But when?? You might hear horror stories of winters in North Idaho lasting half the year, and that's not exactly wrong. Snow in our area can start as early as November. Unless you were here the record breaking year of 2019 when we received 1.1 inches of snow on September 29th, the most in September's history. Before that, the last time the snow fell in September was in 1926 with 1 inch of snow. But, on average, you will typically see snow in November and it could last through April.
This is all just averages, there's no telling exactly what the North Idaho winters will do! That means we need to be ready for everything.
The Coeur d'Alene Police Department offers FREE winter driving classes. They typically begin in October and go through early December. If you're new to driving in the snow or would like a refresher, check on the specific dates when the time comes next year.
Knowing how to drive in the snow is just part of it, you want to be sure your vehicle is ready for the snow as well. Check out our blog North Winter Driving Preparation for detailed information.
Our home is another thing we need to prepare when winter comes. Our website is always a great resource for this. Check out our Fall & Winter Home Maintenance page to prepare for winter and our blog 6 Overlooked Winterizing Tasks.

Idaho's Top Industries
When one thinks of Idaho's top industries, they will likely automatically go to potatoes. Although we do supply around 1/3 of the country's potatoes, that's not all Idaho has to offer. If you're thinking about moving over to the great state of Idaho, but wonder if you will find a job in your industry, check out the list of top industries below.
Advanced Manufacturing
This industry is defined by highly technical & cutting edge processes as well as the employment of skilled & higher paid employees. As it continues to grow in Idaho, it's encompassing more and more industries and occupations within itself. Advanced Manufacturing employs 6% of the entire state's workforce, which is more than 40,000 jobs, and contributes $7.3 billion to the state's GDP. In the next 10 years, this industry is expected to grow at least 10%.
North Idaho is currently home to more than 6 dozen aerospace companies which perform work such as aircraft operations, maintenance, parts manufacturing and aircraft assembly. But why Idaho? We're actually unique in a few ways which makes this industry thrive. We're close to many large international airports, as well as Boeing production facilities & operations, the vast airspace Idaho has to offer and our technological capabilities. In the next 10 years, the aerospace industry is expected to grow 41%.
Technology & Innovation
This industry is a strong driver of Idaho's economy, in fact, over the last decade the number of high-tech companies in the state grew 61%. Idaho is the location of the only U.S. based memory chip maker company, Micron Technology. Not to mention that we're the center of Hewlett-Packard's imaging and printing group. And we're home to The Idaho National Laboratory, who both designed and construction the first nuclear reactor to generate usable amounts of electricity. As this industry continues to push boundaries, promote start-ups and fuel growth and discovery, it's no wonder it's forecasted to grow 20% over the next 10 years.
Food Production
Idaho is more than just potatoes! In fact, in the nation we are first in trout production, second in Alfalfa hay and third in cheese. Other items produced in Idaho include dairy, beef, wool, sugar beets, wheat, barley, hops, onions, seeds and several kinds of fruit. Idaho has a lot to offer. Idaho's power costs are the lowest in the country, industrial rates are are 40% less than the national average and we have a pro-business climate, so it's no wonder companies come here to produce their goods. Food production is expected to grow 8% in the next 10 years.
Healthcare has always been a steady and consistent industry in Idaho. But, as more and more people move to Idaho, it increases the need for medical workers. Also, our population seems to be growing older at a faster pace than the rest of the country. Elderly individuals tend to need additional health care works than the average young person. Over the last 10 years, healthcare companies have added 46% more jobs and it's only going to grow in the future.
Outdoor Recreation
Idaho is best known for it's outdoor activities. So if you are an outdoor recreational company, or thinking of starting one, there is no better location than one you could test your products right outside your door. Our business environment allows for a low cost operation and a multitude of experts in this field. The outdoor recreation industry is expected to grow 18% over the next 10 years.
Back Office/Shared Services
In today's world, the location of your back office services such as accounting, human resources, sales and customer service can be just about anywhere. Idaho is a great location for this industry since you can serve your customers fully but avoid the high costs of a metro area. To add to it, people love living in Idaho so they are less likely to be unhappy or complacent at work. In the next 10 years, back office/shared services is expected to grow 25%.
For many, Idaho is one of the top places to visit. This, in turn, is causing the tourism industry to grow. This industry supports business that offer outdoor recreation, lodging, fine dining and more. The Idaho Dept of Commerce says that the tourism industry brought in $3.7 billion in 2017, including $475 million in local, state and federal tax revenues. What a huge boom to our state economy! As Idaho continues to draw is tourist, this industry is only going to grow.
As mentioned in the technology & innovation industry, we're home to The Idaho National Laboratory (INL). INL is the nation's lead nuclear research facility that has a science-based approach. Their research yields technically achievable, economically competitive and environmentally sustainable options. To add to it, Idaho's population is growing which creates the need for new homes and business. These new homes and business require electrical services which increases the number of jobs needed in the utilities industry. The Energy/Utility industry is expected to grow 19% in the next 10 years.

Home Features Every Buyer Wants
Whether you're buying, selling, building or remodeling – it's good to know the home features that every buyer is looking for. Especially if you're remodeling or building and plan to resale, some of these items may make or break your real estate transaction.
What Not To Do
Let's first start with a quick list of no-no's. Although the idea and everyday use of some of these items may work for you, they could severely hurt you if you plan to sell you home since they're not practical for the average buyer:
- Removing closets
- Combining two rooms
- Adding a sunroom
- A garage converted to a living space
- Adding a pool or hot rub
- Any feature that is too personalized such as wall color/texture, too much wallpaper, or lavish lighting that may look dated overtime
What To Do
Below are some home features that will increase the resale value of your home and what most all buyers are looking for.
Hardwood Floors
Since they are much easier to clean, durable, long lasting, and have a contemporary look, hardwood floors are one of the top features a buyer wants. Engineered wood flooring is a good option if you're on a budget, although it may not last as long it's still just as easy to clean and has the same look.
Modern Kitchen
Kitchens are where we spend a lot of our time, whether we're entertaining or cooking. So this feature is obviously going to make the list. A buyer will likely be looking for a modern kitchen with an open floor plan. Specific features that are of importance is a large pantry, an area to eat separate from the dining room (either an eat-in kitchen or island with a breakfast bar), new appliances that are stainless steel & energy efficient, ample counter space & storage, and quartz or granite countertops all with a modern design.
Energy Efficiency
Who wouldn't want to save money? Buyers look for and are more likely to be interested in a home when it's outfitted with energy efficient appliances, windows, lighting and HVAC. These items help save money in utilities each month but don't take away from the buyer's comfort level.
Laundry Room
Having a dedicated laundry room is increasing in importance with buyers. Especially one large enough to sort, iron, fold and stack the laundry until it finally gets put away. The placement of the laundry room in a home is also important. Having the laundry room near bedrooms, just off the kitchen, as a laundry room/mud room combination or even a laundry chute if it's downstairs are all considered to be good locations
Walk-in Closet
Many older homes do not have the luxury of a walk in closet, but the feature is quickly gaining popularity. Although closet space in general is very important, walk in closets off the master are considered essential for most buyers when purchasing a home. Depending on how large the closet is, it provides a space to showcase your wardrobe & accessories, keeps your clothes organized, and allows for enough room for a couple to store all of their clothes & accessories.
Large Garage
A large 2 car or 3 car garage allows for the buyer to park their vehicle indoors plus adds storage space. Unlike an attic or basement, the garage is much more accessible to store belongings. The space could also be used as a workshop or mudroom with space to build shelves and cabinets. The possibility with a large garage is endless.
Outdoor patios are a simple way to extend the living space of your home. It's really easy for buyers to see themselves sitting outside playing with their children or entertaining when the backyard is really nice. This is typically an easy and cheaper way to increase the value of your home.

COVINGTON — Covington may be the next local municipality to oppose provisions in Gov. John Kasich's proposed 2018-19 budget.
Covington Council heard the first reading of a resolution voicing their opposition to a provision within the governor's state budget proposal that would require businesses to file municipal income tax with the state. The state would then redistribute the funds with a 1 percent administration fee.
"The governor is trying to pass that in the budget, and there's quite a bit of opposition," Mayor Ed McCord said.
The proposal would mandate businesses to file their net profit return through the Ohio Business Gateway. The Ohio Business Gateway is controlled by the Ohio Department of Taxation and the funds would be filed without auditing services.
The village is concerned that this could lead to additional loss of revenue and slowing the delivery of services to residents. The council's resolution calls this provision an "assault on Home Rule Authority" or municipalities' power to govern locally and collect local income taxes. The resolution also states that this provision "appears to be a plan to redistribute municipal revenue for non-municipal purposes."
The council is expected to waive their third reading and vote on this resolution at their next meeting on March 20.
The council also heard an update on their improvement project for the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The village received five bids for the project, and the low bid was from Jutte Excavating from Fort Recovery for an amount of $1,108,892. The engineer's estimate for the total cost of this project is approximately $1.3 million. The project will be funded by a grant for $375,000 from the Ohio Public Works Commission (OPWC); a zero-percent interest OPWC loan for $375,000; and a low-interest loan for $500,000 that is currently pending.
The council also approved the purchase a 2017 police cruiser. The village will finance it through a $34,000 loan with Covington Savings and Loan. The interest rate would be 3.09 percent for a total cost of approximately $36,060.
They also approved the purchase of speed trailer through MPH Industries at a cost of $6,791. The village previously received a donation of $3,500 from the Covington Community Chest and a donation of $1,500 from the Covington Noon Optimists to go toward this purchase.
The council also approved the budget for the fiscal year 2017 and the tax rates as determined by the Miami County Budget Commission for 2017. The tax rates included the anticipated revenue from the fire and emergency medical services levy.
The council then heard the first reading of a resolution to award the contract for 2017 sidewalk program project to J&J Stampworks at a cost of approximately $19,309. Village Administrator Mike Busse's report noted that the owner of J&J Stampworks is the son-in-law of the village's fiscal officer Brenda Carroll, who had no involvement in the bid process for this project, Busse noted.
The council also heard the first reading of a resolution to enter the village into an agreement with Official Payments that would allow residents to pay their utility bills online.
The council then heard the first reading of a resolution to enter the village into an agreement with the Miami County Commissioners for emergency management services.
Residents taking part in the village's electric aggregation program are also expected to see savings. Busse's report noted that Dynery Corporation was the winning bidder for the program with a bid of 5.29 cents per kwh. According to Busse, this is a savings of more than 20 percent from the current DP&L standard choice price. This rate will be available to residents sometimes in April or May.
McCord reminded residents about village income tax assistance. Staff from the St. Mary's Department of Taxation will be at the government center, 1 S. High St., to assist Covington residents with questions on March 21, from 1-4 p.m.; April 4, from 6-8 p.m.; and April 8, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Residents who attend one of those sessions should bring their W-2s and a copy of their federal tax return, the 1040 form.
