Featured Neighborhood
The allure of Warner Bayou
By WENDY DAHLE
SPECIAL TO THE HERALD
Jay Travis fell in love with
Warner Bayou back in 2003
when he bought his first
house there. Warner Bayou is a Northwest Bradenton
neighborhood named after
the Warner family who settled there in 1868, and consists of two channels of water; Warner Bayou East and
West, that stream from the
Manatee River.
Travis admits the idea of
living on the bayou has always been enticing.
“I moved there because
I love boating and the water,” said Travis, who later bought a second, larger home in Warner Bayou.
“Warner Bayou is a great
place to raise a family, and
I have always been drawn
to it. The bayous are truly
Florida at its best!”
People like Travis love
Warner Bayou because of
the area’s history and its location. It is just minutes from
downtown Bradenton and
the Gulf islands; and offers
easy access to everything in
between.
“It is a great neighborhood,
convenient to schools, beaches, and shopping,” he said.
But the real attraction is
the protected waterways that
make it an amazing place to
live, said Travis. The east bayou offers a boat ramp that is
open to the public while Warner Bayou West offers many
homes bordered with sandy
shorelines, perfect for families with children.
“The bayous offer something for everyone who loves
the water,” he said. “On any
Photo courtesy of Travis & Drapala Group of the RE/MAX
Alliance Group
given weekend you will find
people cruising up and down
the bayous looking at the
houses, fishing near the docks,
or pulling their kids behind
the boat on a tube.”
“Each bayou offers different opportunities for living,
with various size homes, lot
sizes, and styles,” said Travis. The west bayou has a
Real Estate News
total of 111 existing single
family homes and 4 vacant
lots. The east bayou has 80
existing homes and 2 vacant lots.
“The houses on the bayou
vary greatly in size,” he said.
“You can find some homes
as small as 1,000 square feet
up to 6,000 square feet. The
average lot sizes also vary
depending on the part of the
bayou. Many areas range
from as small as 7,000 square
feet all the way up to over
1.5 acres.”
“The average list price of
homes in Warner Bayou currently is $577,168 while the
average sale price has been
$446,666,” added Travis.
“The values of these properties are greatly influenced
by location and are broken
up into three different areas;
the wide part of the bayou,
the narrow part with access but limited views, and
the very small part on Warner East that is subject to a
very low bridge which prevents major restrictions on
the types of boats that can
access,” he said.
“Currently there are nine
homes offered for sale, three
homes under contract, and

six properties that have
sold so far this year,” added
Travis. “A canal front home
on the popular Hillcrest Drive
listed at $499,000 features
two levels and more than
4,000 square feet of space.
This four-bedroom, threebath home sits on a large lot
just under a half acre, and
has a pool, an oversized garage, and a 10,000-pound
boat lift.”
One of the more unique
homes on Warner’s middle
bayou lends itself to entertaining, as it features a floor plan
that wraps around a heated
pool overlooking the water.
Upstairs is the master suite,
but the home also includes
a private retreat complete
with a kitchenette, a large
bath with spa tub, and a spiral staircase leading down
to the pool.

Real Estate News
Luxury on the rebound
I
t is often said that “all
real estate is local,” meaning that property values
are typically driven by variables that often differ neighborhood by neighborhood;
and town by town. However, real estate markets have
been anything but typical
during the past few years.
Consequently, their housing recoveries are contributing mightily to ours.
This is particularly true of
the nation’s luxury housing
markets, whose bourgeoning
recoveries are having a highly positive impact on our region. Luxury markets everywhere slowed considerably
in 2008 when much of the
discretionary wealth needed to purchase such properties receded from many
buyers’ balance sheets during the financial crisis. In
truth, most high net worth
individuals still had plenty
of capital on hand to purchase these properties, but
held off until they were certain that markets of interest
had bottomed.
Fast forward to 2013 and
the bottom everyone was
waiting for is suddenly in
the rearview mirror. Indeed, the most recent S&P/
Case Shiller Home Price Index-the leading measure of
U.S. home prices-shows that
prices rose by 9.3% in February from a year ago, the
largest such increase in the
20-city index in nearly seven years. The report also reveals across-the-board improvement, with all 20 cities
posting year-over-year price
increases.
Locally, closed sales in
Sarasota County’s luxury
housing market rose sharply again in April. With 45
properties over $1 million
sold last month, sales were
up 25% compared with last
April.
The bigger picture
In the meantime, having
at long last emerged from
the depths of the Great Recession, U.S. financial markets have since rocketed to
record levels, restoring virtually all of the $16 trillion
in personal wealth that was
lost during the Great Recession-and then some. “There
are now more billionaires
worldwide than before the
2008 financial crisis and 55
percent more millionaires
than in 2000,” says a new
report on the luxury market
just released by Christie’s International Real Estate.
Southwest Florida’s “feeder” markets-so called because
a disproportionate share of
our buyers hail from such
northern cities as Chicago,
New York, Toronto, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and
Atlanta-are back in business. Their economies on
the mend, luxury properties
in these markets are selling
again, freeing their former
owners to re-invest in primary or secondary homes
here. International buyers
are also making a significant dent in our inventory
of luxury properties.
The time is now
The timing couldn’t be
better, as many luxury
buyers have not only seen
their wealth and confidence
in the market restored, but are
also among the first waves
of retiring baby boomers
eyeing Southwest Florida as
their destination of choice.
Additionally, investors who
watched the value of their
paper assets plunge during
the recession have a new
appreciation for real estate,
which forever remains a tan-
gible asset to be used and enjoyed-even when the market
cycles through rough economic times.
As the Chicago Tribune
noted last week: “After a long,
dry spell, it’s almost-but not
quite-a seller’s market for
the nation’s pricier homes.”
This is tantamount to suggesting that the luxury market is-at least for now-in balance. Thus, the most astute
buyers should consider purchasing while the scales of
value are still tipped somewhat in their favor. Meanwhile if you’ve postponed
selling your luxury home
until the market improved,
now is the time to list it.
Why? Because luxury home
buyers are not only back in
numbers not seen in many
years, but are anxious to act
on several years of pent-up
demand quickly before the
best properties and values
slip away.

it’s time for a paint job:
• Chalking: A formation of
fine powder on paint surfaces that can cause color fading
if left unchecked.
• Scaling or cracking: Often caused by multiple layers
of old paint, the only remedy
is complete removal.
• Flaking: loosened peeling
paint chips.
• Alligatoring: Deep fissures
caused by long-term cracking.
Complete removal is the only
treatment.
• Lead threats: A health
hazard, immediately remove
lead paint.
• Discoloration
• Loose caulking: Avoid rotting and disrepair by checking window panes and doorframes.

Flooring
New flooring can give a
home an instant lift affordably. Get more for your buck
without compromising style
and quality with these tips
from Floor Coverings International, a leading shop-at-
home flooring retailer:
• Hardwood: A classic look
that complements almost any
style home, furniture or decor. Mix and match species
of wood, finishes and widths
for a unique look.
• Vinyl: Luxury vinyl flooring, or PVC, looks like wood
but is more durable and heavier
duty. Easily-maintained, PVC
makes a great choice for hightraffic households.
• Decorative inlays: Metals
like aluminum and stainless
and galvanized steel provide
striking, industrial looks, while
the translucent, gem-like surface of glass tiles reflects light.
Mixing these materials with
tile or wood can create subtle separations of space.
• Accent rugs: Tie the entire room together or inject
an unexpected burst of color into an otherwise neutral
palette.
• Go Green: For eco-friendly
flooring, try Shaw Industries
cradle-to-cradle carpeting,
which makes nylon carpets
that can be recycled into new
ones every five to seven years.

Home inspection
Because the industry is unregulated, be wary when hiring a home inspector. Protect yourself with these tips
from, Pillar To Post, the nation’s largest home inspection franchise:
• Get referrals from family,
friends, your real estate agent
and contractors. Interview everyone on your list.
• Ask for qualifications and
certification. Double check
credentials.
• Inquire about Errors and
Omissions insurance which can
protect you from mistakes.
• Avoid conflicts of interest.
Don’t hire someone who performs repairs or refers contractors.
• Are the inspector’s sample reports longer than a few
pages? Lengths of reports vary;
but most range from 20 to 50
pages.
• Ask how long your inspection will take. Most take at least
three hours. Lack of thoroughness and errors can result in
you losing the house.
• Does your home inspector
charge for re-inspection?
• Attend the inspection.
Ask questions about noted
problems.

F
encing serves many
purposes. Some homeowners erect a fence
for privacy, while others
do so to contain pets and
children. Because fencing
can be expensive, some
homeowners look for ways
to cut costs, which can be
relatively easy, especially
for those homeowners willing to consider various materials when erecting their
fence.
Traditional fences are available in materials ranging from
wood to vinyl to metal. Homeowners have other options
at their disposal if they prefer a more natural fence. Different shrubs, trees or grasses can be planted to create a
barrier between properties
or within the property.
When choosing a fencing
material, consider that even
17T
Cost-effective fencing options
a less expensive material
may prove more expensive
in the long run if it needs significant maintenance or has
to be replaced in just a few
years. Therefore, the most
cost-effective fencing material may not necessarily
be the least expensive one
at the store. Here are some
materials homeowners can
consider.
Found material: Repurposed wood or metal
can be crafted into a rustic,
one-of-a-kind fence. Materials can be found that are
no cost, requiring only the
cost of labor. Should you
build it yourself, this can be
next to nothing. Sometimes
existing fences on another
property can be disassembled and re-built on your
own property for little to no
cost as well.
Chainlink/chainwire:
Chainlink fencing is one of
the most economical types
of boundary fencing. The
fencing comes in a variety
of diamond sizes and is fixed
to galvanized pipes spaced
across the perimeter of the
property. Although it is some
of the least expensive fencing,
it does not offer much privacy on its own. But if you are
looking at fencing simply as
a barrier, chainlink could be
the way to go.
Picket fencing: A wooden picket fence is another inexpensive fencing material.
The pickets can be purchased
in various heights, and this
fence may be used as garden
border fencing or to mark a
property line between homes.
Spacing the pickets widely
apart may cut down on the
number that need to be pur-
chased, further keeping the
cost down.
Bamboo: Bamboo is a rapidly growing grass that produces a hard wood-like material that is used in many
building applications. Bamboo wood can be used to
build a fence, but the natural plant also can be planted to form a living fence for
privacy.
Stockade fencing: A stockade fence is one of the more
basic wood fencing options.
Wooden slats are placed alongside one another to form an
effective and affordable privacy fence. Stockade fencing
can be stained or painted
to preserve it. Many home
improvement retailers sell
panels of stockade fencing
so that you can make fence
installation a do-it-yourself
project.
Vinyl fencing: Although
vinyl fencing is one of the
more expensive fencing materials at the outset (it costs
about twice the price of a
wood fence), it does pay for
itself rather quickly thanks
to minimal maintenance.
Unlike some other materials, vinyl will not rot or discolor. You also won’t have
to purchase stain, paint and
expensive cleaners for a vinyl fence. That means once
you make the investment,
you will have years upon
years of maintenance-free
enjoyment.
There are many different fencing materials that
can coordinate with a variety of budgets.
