WHY DO NEW HOMES COST SO MUCH? - 04/29/12 01:46 AM

Via Webster, Ma Conrad Allen, Realtor (Re/Max Professional Asociates):
Why is that?  The cost of new construction continues to increase.  Why does that happen?  Government studies show that 25% of the cost of a new home has to do with government regulations, permits, planning … (4 comments)

Home Staging is the Remedy to a Price Reduction - 04/28/12 04:39 AM

Huntingtown Methodist Ham and Oyster Spring Time Church Supper a HIT! - 04/15/12 06:08 PM
Huntingtown Methodist Ham and Oyster Spring Time Church Supper a HIT!
The only thing disappointing was that it will be another half year before the ame Fall Church Supper they routinely host.
There was the regular ham and deep fried oysters plus corn pudding, green beans, cole sale, apple sauce, desert, iced tea, bake sale items and more.
Pinch me because it  is over but I would go back for until I was sore. Chuckle!
