Chapter 1
I’m Neal Hanks of Beverly-Hanks & Associates.
I would like to bring you up to speed on the current state of
real estate in Buncombe County. There has been a significant
increase in activity over the last few months.
The number of units sold in January of 2012 increased by 41%
over the prior year. The sales volume increased by 51% over
January of 2011. The number of units sold in February of 2012
increased by 20% over the prior year. The sales volume
increased by 11% over February of 2011.
The total change in real estate sales for Buncombe County
through February of 2012 is 30% both in units sold and sales
volume.
The impressive results of January and February are a continua-
tion of a strong second half of 2011 and the momentum
appears to be gaining steam, all positive signs as we head into
spring, the beginning of our traditional selling season.

It is important to have a basicunderstanding of indoor air pol-lutants whether you are buyinga new home or just wanting toimprove your current home.Radon, mold, dust, lead base
paint, asbestos, Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs) and combustion gas are the mostcommon pollutants that are found inside ahouse.
Radon is an odorless gas. The EPA lists radonas the second-leading cause of lung cancer.It enters the home through cracks, drains andsumps. A simple test can determine whetherthe level of radon is dangerous. Mitigation isrelatively simple and inexpensive.
Mold is very common and occurs to somedegree in all homes. Depending of your levelof sensitivity this can be a serious problem.Mold grows where there is moisture. So ifyou find mold the first home
improvement is to find the water source andstop the moisture issue. There are severalenvironmentally friendly alterative to remov-ing and cleaning existing mold.
Dust is a complex mix of grit, pet hair, crumbsand tiny insects. Many people have allergiesto dust. It is important to keep your homeclean at all times. Removing shoes beforeentering and wiping pets feet are helpfulpractices. Utilizing a vacuum with a HEPA fil-ter can reduce the impact of dust blowingaround in your home.
Lead Base Paint is probably in homes builtbefore 1978. It becomes a problem when itchips and cracks. It is very important to fol-low the Environmental Protect Agency guide-lines when remolding an older home.
Asbestos was used in insulation and otherproducts during the 1970s. It becomes ahealth issue when it is removed and the dust
gets into lungs. If yoususpect your homehas asbestos youneed to contact a pro-fessional remediationexpert before you doany remodeling.
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) areingredients that may be carcinogen. Theyusually have that "new car smell" and cancause immediate physical systems. Commonproducts in homes are cabinetry, carpet andpaint. It is important that your home is airedcompletely before moving into a new orremodel house.
Combustion Gas is utilized in homes for heat-ing and cooking. It is critical to maintainproperly working equipment and to have car-bon monoxide detectors in your home.
Understanding these basic pollutants willhelp you when planning on creating ahealthy indoor air environment.
Every house can be more sustainable. Let us show you how.

(StatePoint) Whether your garden is a sourceof food for your family, a way to beautify yourhome‚ outdoor spaces, or a gathering placefor parties, you already know how beneficialyour outdoor hobby can be.
But a garden need not only be a human habi-tat. If you cultivate it right, you can encour-age beautiful wildlife to become regular visi-tors to your garden all season long.
Here are some tips to get started:
• Plant native flowers, shrubs and trees togive local wildlife the proper sustenance theyneed to survive. Skip flowers bred strictly forsize and color and opt for high-nectar yield-ing flowers instead.
• Incorporate birdfeeders into your garden.Not only will they look great, they are anexcellent supplemental food source for yourfeathered friends. And you can keep furryfriends at bay with a squirrel-proof feeder.
• If you build a water source, they will come(and stay). A pond or birdbath will help pre-vent birds from eating and going in search of
water.
• Birds need cover to protect themselves frompredators. Planting densely with a mix ofsmaller trees, shrubs and beds of annuals andperennials will do the trick.
• Avoid pesticides. These chemicals are poten-tially harmful to you and your family, and thesame goes for wildlife. Also, by killing gardenpests, you will eliminate a primary source ofprotein for birds in search of nourishment fortheir migration ahead.
Once you’ve invited all these creatures toshare your garden, you’re going to need totake some steps to make it safe for them.
While a garden might be a safe haven, yourhome can be a death trap According toWyoming-based Western EcoSystems Tech-nology, an estimated 98 million birds arekilled annually in the U.S. from colliding withglass windows. That is one bird fatality perhouse.
But you don’t need to be part of the problem.Applying static-cling decals to your windows
will prevent birds from mistaking your win-dows for thin air. And you can apply such adecal without affecting the appearance ofyour home.
For example, decals from WindowAlert relyon a special ultraviolet-reflecting coating thatis invisible to humans but looks like a brilliantglow to birds. You can learn more atwww.WindowAlert.com.
“Your home needn’t pose a danger to birds,”stresses Spencer Schock, founder of Win-dowAlert, Inc.
If you spot an injured bird in your garden,don’t rescue it. If it’s young, its parents arelikely nearby. If you want to take action, callyour wildlife office for information onlicensed rehabilitators.
With a few tweaks to your garden, you cancreate an eco-friendly habitat for the birdsand the bees and everything in between.After all, there’s nothing more beautiful thana garden that is not only good to you andyour family, but to wildlife, as well.

(StatePoint) Spring is in the air and formany it’s time for seasonal cleaning. Whileyou’re unlikely to forget your gutters orkitchen, there are many spots that are easyto overlook.
Don’t forget that your home electronics,
computers and smoke detectors needupkeep too -- and there’s no better time todo it than when you’ve got housework onthe mind.
Say ‘Goodbye’ to Dust
Many electronics sit in the open, and thisexposure means dust and grime. Butbecause these items are delicate, you can’tclean them as you would clean furniture orknick knacks.
Compressed air, found at any PC store,works to rid keyboards of dust between andbelow the keys. All those crumbs you dis-cover may convince you to eat your luncheselsewhere!
Never use paper-based cloth to dust speak-
ers, televisions and other electronics. Thewood fibers can scratch equipment. Instead,gently wipe these surfaces using amicrofiber or electrostatic cloth.
And don’t forget to look behind stereoequipment and televisions to ensure ventsand exhausts are free of dust and to cleanconnections of grime.
Bust PC Clutter
Internet browsing habits, application instal-
lations, and general daily use of your PC canclutter your machine, leaving it sluggish. Butrather than investing in a new computer,you can tweak your current PC to save timeand money in the long run.
