2011 Home Decor Trends - A Spectrum of Colors
Color trends will carry over from 2010 to 2011 with the soothing aqua and green hues that draw their inspiration from the verdigris deposits found on weathered copper statues, predicts design expert, TV host/spokesperson and best-selling author Kathy Peterson.
For outdoor furniture and accessories, she sees sassy colors like lime green, bold orange and Caribbean blue, along with more subdued hues such as sage green, barn red and mocha brown.

Villages Italian Club presents "The Genius of Michelangelo"
Michelangelo is universally recognized to be among the dominant artists of all time. Michelangelo Buonarroti's career spanned the glories of the Italian Renaissance, a period of one of the greatest explosions of creative energy. His genius is apparent in every medium in which he worked and with every tool he used. During his 89 years he witnessed the pontificates of 13 popes and worked for nine of them. His works include such cultural icons as The Last Judgement, the Pieta, the David and the Sistine Chapel ceiling.
Michael Rogers will provide an overview of the man and his many accomplishments. Join us at Foothill Center on Feb. 17th to hear (and see) the myriad of Michelangelo's sublime accomplishments. All are welcomed. Light refreshments will be served. The lecture begins at 7:00, but come early because seating is limited.

Homebuyer Tax Credit Extended! Signed Into Law November 6, 2009
President Obama has signed legislation to extend the Homebuyer Tax Credit. Passage of the bill was widely anticipated to further spur economic recovery in the housing sector, as more buyers are now eligible for tax breaks under the new law. The $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit was originally set to expire on November 30.
In addition to offering the $8,000 first-time homebuyer tax credit, the new law also allows a $6,500 credit for repeat or move-up homebuyers who have lived in their primary residence for five years or more.
The tax credits are available to buyers who sign purchase agreements on a new or existing primary residence between December 1, 2009, and April 30, 2010. Buyers would have until June 30 to close on their new homes.

Notification of Assessed Value
The County Assessor recently sent you a postcard with the January l, 2009 assessed value of your home. This value will be used to calculate your property tax due in December, 2009 and April, 2010.
Please look carefully at this assessed value and ask yourself if you could have sold your home last January for this amount. Because of the provisions of Proposition 13, most people will think they could have sold their home for more than the current assessed value. If you are among this majority, you need to take no further action.
If you think you would have had to accept less than the assessed value to sell your home last January, you should request an Assessor’s valuation review by August 15. You may request a review online at www.sccassessor.org/prop8.
You must have support for your valuation adjustment request. The usual support is a list of the sales prices of comparable properties during the three months before and after January l. An appraisal by a realtor familiar with your area can also be helpful. Carla Griffin does these appraisals for residents in The Villages.
Please remember that fair market value is always a range and there is no single correct valuation. Also, remember that the tax rate is a little over one percent (1%) of the valuation. Consequently, a $10,000 change in assessment will only reduce your taxes by a little over $100 for the year.
Would you like a property valuation? If you live in The Villages and would like an appraisal, please call 408.274.8766 before August 1 for your FREE property valuation.
