What coatings on windows will help:luxury home has has high air conditioning costs and sun bleaches floor?

Living room 4 double rows of windows facing east and two facing north [each has 2 windows one above the other], metal frames,85" high 45" wide; dining room has 4 single window rows facing east. We have very high energy bills because of air conditioning and the sun bleaches the wooden windows. We do not want to replace the windows but we would consider a coating or even motorized storm windows that we could leave down during the day or half=way down.

Besides the films, you can re-screen your windows with denser material available at those big box stores. It isnt a difficult job and requires only an inexpensive spline tool, scissors and, perhaps, new splinning material. The link will give you an idea of the material:

Here's how to replace a window screen courtesy of Lowes:

Run a search under "solar screen fabric" and solar window screen" (without the quotes), youll get a ton of information about screens from my suggestion to full, motorized protection. Good luck.

How big is the luxury Second Home Market?

In a perfect world, we would like the following data for 2004, 2005 and YTD 2006:

# of second homes and condos sold in the US with values of $1 - $1.999m

# of second homes and condos sold in the US with values of $2 - $2.999m

# of second homes and condos sold in the US with values of $3 - $3.999m

# of second homes and condos sold in the US with values = or > $4m

If that data is further broken down by state or zip code that would be even better.

Finally, if available, we would also like information sorted by these price points and by the distance in miles or travel time between second homes and the purchasers primary home.

Try these sites for more information.

I would like to purchase a Luxury home in CA.?

Which areas in CA. have Luxury homes that are not in fire area,mudslide areas. I want to purchase and not have to worry about these natural disasters. I really like the great weather there.

I live in Central California...a great area since we really aren't affected by all the things you are asking about...there have been a few Wild-Fires that we have been slightly hit with the smoke making its way toward us...but none of the fires are close enough to cause any "real" damage...we don't get mud-slides since most of our homes are not perched on hills...every now and then we get a Trembler...but so far so good...the last BIG quake we FELT was centered in San Francisco 100 miles away in 1987...so I would say look in Central California.

If you have enough money to even THINK about purchasing a luxury home in CA, talk to a couple high-end realtors and explain what you are looking for.

They don't have a lot of fires/mudslides in Oakland, so you should move there. Definitely Oakland. In all of California, that's the place for you to go.

lol, not worry about natural disasters in CA...um hello!!!!!!!!!!!!! What about the earthquakes there??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hollywood Hills. No fires no landslides. You'll be fine.

Why would you waste your time here, if you have that kind of money? Just curious!

Why do luxury home makers or the rich build tennis courts into their house plans?

I understand maybe a pro tennis player doing this but is it that much of a coincidence that about a quarter of mansions have a tennis court? Is that prime piece of property really worth wasting over a tennis court? Are they THAT much of a tennis enthusiast that they just HAVE to have a court to play on taking up half of their backyards?

Well if you play tennis and find you like it you always want to play and having the convenience of your own court is nice. Also tennis considered a gentleman's sport. A sport for ladies and gentlemen.... hence rich people and mansions have tennis courts.... since many people believe tennis is a sport of the high class because of it being a gentleman's sport and the Etiquette.

Very many people play tennis as a form of exercise

Why 70 years old house in Britain cost the same money as new luxury home in Poland? for example £220.000 ?

Why not to invest in above home in Poland instead of in Britain?

Almost 100% of home value is in location. If you like the home and location in Poland then buy that home.

because of the main rule in real estate. location..location..location

Location, location, location.

Three words at the core of real estate.

Cos i don't wanna live in Poland!

it's to do with the economy.. why u think there are so male polish etc coming to london etc..

yer you might buy a nice house, but end of the of the day the economy is better in the UK.

off you go then, bye

cus the more old somn' is the mR valuble it is

To many zero's on the Poland version

Because there are now no people left in Poland. They are all here in England.

How much does it cost to build a luxury home?

I am willing to pay as much, i was thinking 7500 square foot, 7 bedrooms, library, home theater, fitness room, recreation room, nice kitchen, den, living room, and 5 bathrooms, family room, nice good size kitchen..study room and office, oh yea and of course a pool inside the house!

How could you get that thought, the money, when you talk like you are only 10 years old?

If you are willing to do some of the cosmetics yourself? I'd start at about 4 1/2 Mil. depending on how "picky" you are, you can add another 2-3 onto that.... "Diamond!"

Ok Well Email Me And I will Contact ,y Sister. She Is A realter..

Where can I find luxury home rentals that could accommodate a family reunion of 11 at Walt Disney World Resort?

My family is planning a family vacation (parents, sister and her kids, my family) at WDW over Christmas. We would like a nice (luxury) house or resort that would accomodate all of us without being too outrageously expensive. Does anyone know of a place or website that would help?

Grand Deluxe Villa at Old Key West or the Tree top villas at Saratoga Springs both located and owned by Disney will accommodate your family. Call 407-W-Disney to see if they are available. Another option may be to get a couple connecting rooms or maybe two cabins at Fort Wilderness.

I have stayed with a few different companies, but my favorite is http://www.allstarvacationhomes.com

I have had an absolutely wonderful experience every time I have stayed with them. You might like to browse through all their options, and if you have any questions, call them. They are super nice. If you are wanting it for this Christmas, you better call soon!

You might check the Disney Vacation Club Villas. That way you can accommodate your group and enjoy all of the benefits and conveniences of being on property.

I really hope its not for this Christmas because it might be a little late. Christmas is extremely busy for Disney. I would suggest checking out www.vacationrentals 411.com they have houses with 7+ bedrooms

We have stayed in the Windsor Hills subdivision many times. It is very nice and there are many homes for rent. It may be difficult to find anything for this holiday season at this late date.

you can try

http://www.disneyneighbor.com

www.waltdisneyworld.com has accommodations for grand gatherings for parties over 5 people for all budgets.hurry because they might run out of room very soon!!!
