Our Green Historic Homes

From every media source we are challenged to find a way of living that will ensure the longevity and health of our environmental economic and social resources. We all want to do our part but the plethora of information about “green” living “green” technologies and “green” architecture can be overwhelming. Lucky for those of us with historic Florida homes our houses were built with many environmentally friendly assets that help us reduce energy consumption. Prior to the introduction of air conditioning Florida builders used techniques that “green” designers are now advocating such as deep covered porches and wide eaves window awnings and shutters and operable windows. While we Floridians may not be willing to turn off our air conditioners in August these features do allow us to make the most of Florida’s more temperate seasons while reducing our energy consumption.

Front and rear porches served dual heatrelated purposes for Florida homeowners prior to the introduction of air conditioning. First they sheltered the main building from the harsh sun reducing heat gain and protecting interior furnishings from fading. In addition porches provided an escape from the sweltering heat inside the home providing a sheltered space to sit out of the sun while enjoying cooling breezes.

A series of techniques were used in conjunction with windows and doors to increase cooling effects. Awnings were historically used to protect windows from direct sunlight thus helping to keep interior rooms cool. Popular from 1870 to 1930 fabric awnings were made of canvas attached to a fixed or retractable metal frame and came in several colors and patterns to accent the homes architecture. Metal awnings and Bahama shutters were common beginning in the 1940s and original versions are still seen shading many homes.

Windows in older homes were usually operable to allow cooling breezes to enter the home. They were almost always covered with fullheight screens to prevent pesky mosquito invasions. Screen doors were also installed on all exterior doors again allowing breezes to enter the home without inviting bugs. Doors typically had covered overhangs when not already sheltered by a porch protecting entrants from rain as well as sheltering the house from the sun.

In many early homes sleeping porches were constructed for relief on hot summer nights. Usually located on an upper floor these rooms typically either had rows of casement windows or screened openings to capture as much air movement as possible. As the name implies rows of cots were set out to provide easier sleeping conditions during hot nights.

These are only a few of the methods typically utilized in older homes that are still effective today. We have become so reliant on air conditioning and heating that we sometimes forget to take advantage of the inherent good design found in our historic homes. As the weather gets more pleasant this fall consider taking a few steps to operate your historic house more energy efficiently and save some money in the process.

Orlando Real Estate A Closer Look At Market Conditions

Uncertain economic conditions result in speculation. Every real estate expert is trying to share opinions and insight in the hope that the information can work to stabilize some of the more questionable real estate circumstances. This article will help to lay the groundwork for Orlandos current market. The information is not all positive but for smart homeowners and home sellers now could turn out to be an ideal time to make a move or strike a deal.

In an economic landscape that is unpredictable at best obtaining financing for multimilliondollar land/homes packages has become almost impossible feat for many luxury buyers seeking to build their dream home. The developer of Colorado’s luxury community Tessa Mesa outside Castle Rock is looking to change that with a rare financing package that lets buyers secure their estate site now and postpone the building process until market conditions improve.

Camp;A Companies Tessa Mesa’s developer also is offering buyers interestonly financing through its preferred lending relationships for up to four years thus allowing buyers time to sell their existing home and design their new home on a timeline that is comfortable for them. Buyers can build when the time is right for them whether that’s now or years from now.

The estate lots have level generous readytobuild envelopes that make them ideal horse properties or family estates” added Camp;A Companies. “Zoning allows for a primary residence up to two guest houses a barn and other outbuildings such as a sports pavilion.

With today’s market conditions enthusiastic and experienced borrowers are finding it increasingly challenging to gain financing in the time needed to accomplish their endeavors” added Ido Gerber Metro Funding Corp. MFC associate whose firm a private assetbased lender from Paramus NJ recently announced the funding of a 1400000 loan for the acquisition of a 13.5 acre parcel in York PA. MFC makes financing possible for borrowers who have strict timelines allowing them to complete their projects successfully.” After careful underwriting MFC was able to structure the transaction in a way that allowed the borrower to acquire the property from the local school district. With a 28000000 HUD loan the borrower plans to construct a residential complex which will include affordable housing for the retirement community in the area.

Another firm doing well in this challenging environment is the Program Solutions Group a Toledobased commercial construction company who has achieved growth prosperity and a high profile client list. In face in recent months they have been contracted for several of metropolitan Toledo’s most exciting and prominent development projects including the 500000 sq. ft. expansion for First Solar Perrysburg Ohio the new Health Care REIT headquarters on Dorr St. in Toledo and Dana Holding Corporation’s relocation to new headquarters at their Maumee Ohio Technology Campus.

A word of caution from Edward J. Sullivan PCA chief economist: “Without further government cash injections into the banking system tight lending standards could characterize the economy and mortgage lending through mid2011 dragging down home sales” he said. “Under such a scenario the housing recovery and overall economic recovery could be delayed significantly.” Whether it is delayed funding like that from the Camp;A Companies or the opening of credit markets fueled by government intervention the need for lending and money to be pumped back into the marketplace is the key to an economic and housing recovery. This story and others like it proves that industry players are doing their part to get lending moving forward.

So there you have it some of the news is good some is bad. But what matters more is how your personal situation fits into the mix. If you are ready to buy a home or sell property Orlandos real estate market has plenty of opportunities.
