THE HOME

Bill Pierce www.pierce-builders.com 1424 Dodge Ave Helena, MT 59601 406.443.4637

Located in Helena’s upper west side, Westridge Heights, this 3,350-sqare-foot condominium at the base of Mt. Helena offers expansive panoramic views overlooking the city as well all of the walking trails nearby. This three bedroom, two-and-ahalf bath home offers functionality, comfort, and highquality detailing throughout that reflects the work of experienced craftsmen. As you enter through a handcrafted insulated alder entry door, you are greeted by the tile entry, hardwood floors, and large windows that overlook the city. A den/office near the front entry provides that much-needed space for conducting your household business or for that home-based business. The kitchen features dramatic granite countertops, a large center island, and painted cabinets with plenty of room for those who love to cook as well as entertain. The convenience of main level living with a full laundry, large master suite overlooking Helena, and a half bath for guests will be appreciated for years to come. Energy-conserving elements dominate the design, from a special insulation package and air sealing techniques, to an ultra-high efficiency sealed combustion furnace and air conditioning. Site orientation and low use of domestic and irrigation water all combine to make this a truly energy efficient living environment, as will the use of low-maintenance exterior products, such as fireproof shingles, metal, and fiber-cement siding. The lower level features a large family room with a wet bar for entertaining, and your overnight guests will have everything they need in the guest suite. See for yourself what this Pierce-designed home has to offer in terms of comfort, durability, and low cost of operation with long-term value that is represented by over 37 years experience in building custom homes for Helena area families.

Rarely does a unique opportunity come along to own and enjoy exceptional quality and unparalleled value. The developers have ingeniously integrated a living concept with fantastic views and an extensive array of style and benefits to compliment ownership. Ridgeview offers more than just an investment – it’s a gem to be discovered by a discerning few. Showing today is the elegant Gallatin model. This 2400-square-foot floor plan offers an easy, singlelevel living, with a large covered porch that opens to a spacious entry hall which features a powder room and coat closet, and leads straight to the openplan dining, kitchen, and sitting room. The kitchen is efficient and elegant with granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and solid wood cabinets. It has a large pantry, an island, and a hallway to the master suite which also cleverly encompasses a tech nook. The sitting room offers a customdesigned gas fireplace surround and timber accents in the tray ceiling. It is open to the covered deck via a nine-foot wide patio door. The covered deck offers arguably the best views in town – straight at the Sleeping Giant, but open from west of the Scratch Gravels and around far into the South Hills! Privacy railings offer shelter and intimacy. The deck also leads, by means of a French door, to the master suite with large, view-filled windows and an elegant bathroom and walk-in closet. A two car garage with owners’ entry leads to the kitchen, laundry room and stairs to the lower level. An optional

addition to all of the Ridgeview Condos, this level of the Gallatin offers a large and airy family room complete with a French door to the covered patio, two additional bedrooms, a bathroom and large storage/utility room.

Selling Tips for Home Buyers

hat if you have to sell your current home before you buy a new one? While the buyers’ market means when you buy your new house you will be able to get more for your money than a few years ago, it also means you will have to make sure your existing home is presented in its most attractive light in order to attract bids from potential buyers. Here are some tips to help you improve your chances of attracting a buyer.

Start with a realistic price.

Thoroughly research what homes comparable to yours have sold for in the past year, as well as what the asking price is for the homes that are currently for sale. If you are working with a Realtor, they can do this for you. A price that’s too high may keep your home on the market so long that buyers will assume there are problems.

Curb appeal is critical.

Some prospective buyers never get out of the car before deciding that a run-down house is

not for them. Keep your lawn neatly mowed and seed bare spots, mulch all the garden beds and plant colorful annuals, and paint or touch up fences, trim and the house itself, if it needs it. Fix anything sub-par that’s visible from the street.

Clean, clean, clean.

From the minute buyers arrive at your front door, make sure that everything they see is super clean. Put out a new welcome mat. Thoroughly clean carpets, floors, baseboards, curtains, windows, and especially all the surfaces and appliances in your bathrooms and kitchens. Repaint the walls if they are scuffed or stained.

Don’t forget odor.

The home should both look and smell clean and welcoming. Open windows in good weather to encourage fresh air to circulate. Use scented cleaners or air fresheners. Some sellers even pop a batch of cookies into the oven or simmer spiced cider on the stove if they know a potential buyer is coming.

Make sure everything works.

Fix everything from the merely cosmetic such as burned-out light bulbs, to things that could raise red flags with buyers such as broken sink disposals and leaky faucets. If you don’t fix it, their home inspector will find it.

Clutter kills sales.

Make sure beds are made, toys are put away, bookshelves are neatly organized, and counters are cleared of personal items. If your house is too full – and that includes attics and basements – prospective buyers will have trouble visualizing their furnishings and possessions fitting in the space. Consider temporarily moving some furniture or boxes to the homes of friends or family, rent a storage facility, or even have a yard sale. Prospective buyers can see that buying a house that’s already attractive and in good working order will make their lives easier – and could help you get into the home of your dreams that much sooner. §

They know they are buying a means of satisfying their lifestyle, which includes livability, value and luxury. Davis Homes, Inc. and their team of skilled subcontractors and suppliers work diligently to meet the individual needs of every client. Davis Homes is not the “cookie-cutter” home builder. We customize every floor plan to fit the need of every client and each client has the opportunity to pick out EVERYTHING that goes inside and outside of their home. It is important to John and Jahna to have a satisfied customer. It is Davis Homes’ pleasure to provide a home for the 2012 Parade of Homes and encourage you to “Wake up … in a DAVIS home.”

Amy Livezey, Ron Bartsch, and Rebekka Cantrell www.sussexconstruction.com 3130 Saddle Dr, Ste 5 Helena, MT 59601 / 406.495.9663

Stunningly understated, set next to Canyon Ferry Lake, this 3200-square-foot home is the epitome of elegance. Designed for minimal maintenance and a worry-free lifestyle, geothermal heating and cooling along with other greenbuilding technologies make this home as efficient and comfortable as is modernly possible. Accented with stone, the timber frame structure embraces everything about its location; soaring east windows encompass the lake view either side of the double fireplace, an oversized deck wraps around three sides of the home and includes a covered portion and fireplace to extend seasonal use. Open railings provide the least obstruction of the magnificent views. The double front doors open to a spacious foyer with a custom built iron and live-edge timber staircase. The designer kitchen has a loose, modern feel and is open to the dining and great room – which rises up to the timbered structure and is anchored by a magnificent stone chimney complete with a gracefully hidden television. Designer lighting, art niches and a monochromatic color scheme only emphasize the sophistication of this home. The south wing comprises of the master suite – a spacious story-and-a-half bedroom with timber details, spa-style bathroom and walk-in closet. The guest suite is in the north wing. It, too, offers utter relaxation and comfort for its lucky inhabitants. The striking staircase leads to a media area and second guest suite within the lofty timbers. The landscaping is designed to gently moor the home

to the landscape and blends subtly with the natural surroundings. Two tiered ponds, fed by the geothermal heating system, flank a meandering pathway through the landscape, carefully designed and constructed by Sussex Construction, to the home’s private chapel.

Americans Still See Homeownership as TOP Priority

mericans still consider owning a home essential to the American Dream, and Washington policymakers would be wise to keep this in mind in the coming election season. Proof of this statement is evident in a May 2011 poll conducted on behalf of the National Association of Home Builders by Public Opinion Strategies of Alexandria, Va., and Lake Research Partners of Washington, D.C. The national poll reached two thousand likely voters and asked them about their attitude regarding homeownership and house policy. The results could not be clearer. Despite the ups and downs of the housing market – and whether or not they currently own a home – voters overwhelmingly indicated that they place a high value on homeownership as a core achievement in their lives. Of the poll respondents who are current home owners, nearly all of the – 95 percent – said they were happy with their decision to own a home and believe that owning their own home is important. Almost three-quarters of respondents who do

not now own a home said it is a goal of theirs to eventually buy one. Equally telling, voters rated the importance of homeownership just as highly as the importance of being successful at their job or being able to pay for a family member’s education. “The bottom line is, even after years of economic turmoil and unprecedented and prolonged downturn in the housing market, homeownership is still a central goal for most Americans,” said David Graham, Builder and Chairman of Southwest Montana Building Industry Association. “It’s an undeniably deep emotional attachment that can’t be ignored by the politicians who are looking to address budget issues by cutting housing incentives in the tax code such as the mortgage interest deduction.” Americans also feel strongly about the financial benefits – and challenges – of homeownerships. Poll respondents said they considered owning a home their best investment, more than their retirement savings program or stock market investments. And 75 percent said that owning a home is worth facing the potential ups and downs of the housing market.

Meanwhile, non-owners identified saving enough money for a down payment and closing costs as the number one barrier keeping them from homeownership, more than job uncertainty or concerns that the value of their home may drop below the purchase price. Yet exceedingly stringent mortgage lending requirements could make that barrier even tougher for the typical American family to overcome in the future. For example, according to estimate by both NAHB and the Center for Responsible Lending, it would take more than 12 years for a typical family to save enough money for a 20 percent down payment on a median-priced single-family home. “Lawmakers need to put themselves in the shoes of the average American, and see that excessive down payment requirements and a reduction in housing tax incentives will keep homeownership out of reach for most first-time home buyers and many middle-class households,” said Daid Graham, Graham Enterprises and SWIMBIA Chairman. “This would be a fatal blow to the American Dream for many, many families.” §

MARLENEE CONSTRUCTION

THE HOME

This 3470-square-foot

home (1735 finished) has a 360 degree view of everything from the South Hills out the back, to beautiful views of the Helena city lights reflecting off of Lake Helena out the front. You will find quality craftsmanship from the rustic style covered front porch to the stamped and colored back patio. Vaulted ceilings, custom hickory cabinets, and solid alder doors and trim are just some of the things that make this home stand out. You will find custom built-in cabinets in the walk in closets, as well as a custom tiled walk-in shower in the master bath. The rustic

town in North Eastern Montana where the luxury of sub-contractors does not exist. This gave him the know-how to learn each of the trades from concrete work, to trim-out. Now that he has been in the Helena area since 2006, he has teamed up with some of the finest subs in the area to build quality projects from start to finish. Gregg grew up around construction, and his father has been operating the branch in Scobey since 1972. Out of high school, he came to Helena and attended Helena College of Technology for construction, then it was off to the North Dakota State College of Science where he obtained a degree in architectural drafting and estimating.
