The most innovative feature of the Maryland house may be the indoor waterfall—a liquid desiccant wall system that’s used to control humidity. As far as the team knows, such a system has never been used for a home. A grey water system also helps the recycling, filtering, and storage of water.

Calgary luxury home sales surging in 2010
By Mario Toneguzzi,
Calgary Herald

CALGARY - Affluent purchasers moved in the first quarter to take advantage of low interest rates, pushing luxury home sales in Calgary to nearly double what they were a year ago.

Although the high-end market is not on fire like it was a couple of years ago during the real estate boom, it has picked up dramatically from the recession in 2009.

In Calgary, for the first quarter of this year, 67 upper-end properties valued at more than $1 million were sold compared with 35 during the same period last year.

"We felt it in the last quarter of last year with the surge of first-time buyers coming into the market and it creates a catalyst all the way through. It just took a matter of time before it hit the upper-end market really," said Christina Hagerty with Re/Max Realty Professionals.

"There's an overall confidence seen in the Calgary market again. Specializing in the inner city, surprisingly, a good 20 per cent of people I've been speaking with are coming in from other places," said Hagerty.

Those places include Toronto, Vancouver, London and South Africa.

Hagerty said the overall real estate market should experience moderate growth in the years to come, and most likely increases in both prices and in the number of sales by three to five per cent in 2010.

People looking to buy at the $800,000 to $1-million range are taking their time.

"We're not really having bidding wars. We're seeing corrections in the market as well. I think this is one of the last price ranges to make a correction. And now that they're correcting, the buyers are buying them," said Hagerty.

Many of today's luxury buyers are taking advantage of favour-able market conditions to trade up to larger homes or better neighbourhoods, said the Re/ Max Upper End Market Trends 2010 report.

The Re/Max report said older, established areas such as Mount Royal and Elbow Park are popular with upscale purchasers looking for easy access to downtown, while Bearspaw, Elbow Valley and Springbank offer high-end buyers "more bang for their buck -- with country homes typically situated on sprawling lot sizes."

In Calgary, sales of luxury homes still lag 2008, when 86 were sold; 2007, with 124; and 2006, with 86.

The most expensive sale on MLS this year in Calgary was for $5.75 million in Elbow Park.

Re/Max said homebuying activity has improved significantly in the city over the past 12 months, but "purchasers are still cautious, especially in the top end of the market."

The report said some overpriced homes continue to linger on the market with "many risking stagnation."

The recent strength in the local market is due to low interest rates, said Dan Sumner, economist with ATB Financial in Calgary.

"Now the world is looking a little bit more stable," he said. "A lot of these people who were maybe finding the market too expensive in 2007 and 2008, and also a little bit more competitive then, are now saying, 'Hey, we lock into a low interest rate, prices are down a little bit . . . and maybe we can move up from the mid-priced home to the high-end home."

The Re/Max report, which highlighted sales and trends in 13 major Canadian centres and five sub-markets, found that virtually all areas experienced double-and triple-digit increases between January and March of this year over 2009 figures for the same period.

Nine out of the 13 markets examined set all-time highs for first-quarter activity in the upper end.

"Recovery in the upper end has been nothing short of remarkable," said Elton Ash, regional executive vice-president at Re/Max of Western Canada.

Interior Design Ideas for Apartments

Interior Design Ideas

If you are staying in an apartment that needs some refurbishing then, this article will definitely help you. Apartments usually tend to be smaller and hence, designing them in the right way is essential. Remember that while you decide on the interior design ideas for apartments, you need to ensure that adding an element does not give a cluttered appearance. Giving a spacious feel to the apartment must be the primary aim while you work on its interiors. So go through these interior decorating ideas and have the place designed in a classic way.

Cool Interior Designing Ideas for Apartments

Create Maximum Space
Before you look at the various interior design ideas for apartments, start decluttering the area. Believe me, useless items occupy a lot of useful space in our house! So, make sure that you get all such items out of the apartment. Also make sure you make a list of big items you need to add to your apartment, which might occupy considerable amount of space. For instance, if you are opting for a new electronic appliance which needs to be placed on the floor, you need to ensure that certain area needs to be dedicated for this item in the new plan.

Consider Having More Storage
Well, in apartments where space is a concern, you need to get some more storage spaces. Let me tell you that this needs to be smart storage that will help you pack in the objects and add up to the decorations as well. One of the ideas for decorating apartments is to have decorative cabinets and other storage units. Having colorful wall cabinets on one of the walls of your bedroom is the best decorating tip for small bedrooms. You can give it a look of wood wall paneling, hence, hiding the storage idea.

In the kitchen if you have a kitchen island or planning to install one, this must be storage oriented. You can have a lot of drawers and closed shelves in this. In the living room you can have the floating wall shelves which will help place the decorative art pieces on these. You can also plan to have shelves for the entertainment center, hence releasing the floor space, which is one of the smart interior design ideas for apartments. You can also opt for a flat screen TV that can be mounted on the wall.



Arrangement and Decoration
Start with the flooring. It is best to expose the wooden flooring. If you have been covering it with rugs and carpets, get them off. The view of wood flooring gives an elegant and spacious look to the apartment. Opting for the right furniture arrangement is the primary element of interior design ideas for apartments. Go for the posh leather sofas and pick the style according to your living room. You can choose from the large variety in leather sofas and chairs available in the furniture stores.

You can just place a round or square rug in the center of the seating arrangement. Wall decorations should not be forgotten. For small walls you can have long rectangular frames to give the wall a stretched look. Also have the floating wall shelves on the larger wall, so that it doesn't give a cluttered look. You can display other artworks on the passage wall, which often gets left out. If your apartment has a large living area or a common, living and dining area you can opt for opaque partitions or translucent panels to divide the area and maintain the privacy element. These room dividers will also help you have defined spaces.

Best Choice of Colors
Another interior design ideas for apartments is to go for lighter shades, white being the best. While you might wonder that white is so common, let me tell you that this allows you best to play with colors. With white wall you can have any color of furniture, cabinets, shelves, wall paneling, flooring and mainly the furnishing.



The next decorating ideas for apartments is to get some bold colors for the furnishings. Check out the amazing appearance of your apartment. You can also have a red and white, violet and white, gray and white combo to spice up the home decorations. Get those vases and decorative items to match these wall colors and place in the corners.

Illumination is the Key
One of the contemporary interior design ideas for apartments is to focus on the sunlight. That is, get maximum sunlight to light up your area. Have the huge glass windows which welcome the sun rays and naturally illuminate the rooms. Of course don't forget to have the lovely window blinds which can be pulled down when required. Place the lamps in corners in various angles to create beautiful light patterns on the walls. You can go for decorative embedded lighting for the living and dining area. These come in large decorative patterns as well. Hanging a chandelier above the dining table or kitchen island and in the living area is a great idea. Don't forget to consider illumination for each wall art, shelves and passage area.
