There’s a Reason for Differences in Price - 12/19/10 06:25 PM
By Oscar Wei, senior research analyst & Robert Kleinhenz, Ph.D. deputy chief economist Dec 10, 2010
Housing prices vary from city to city, but even within your neighborhood or community, there may be distressed and non-distressed sub-markets with significant price differences. To illustrate, the overall median sale price of a detached existing home has been just over $300,000 throughout 2010. By comparison, the median price of a conventional non-distressed sale was about a third higher at roughly $400,000. At the other extreme, REO properties sold by banks were about a third lower than the overall median at roughly $200,000. Short sales, … (2 comments)

AFD released the following recommendations for tree safety and to protect your home from other fire dangers during the winter:
Have a certified chimney sweep clean and inspect your chimney and fireplace annually for creosote build-up, cracks, crumbling bricks and obstructions. Place fireplace or wood stove ashes outdoors in a covered metal container at least 3 feet away from anything that can burn. Don't burn trash including gift wrapping.

Home Prices Defy Predictions, Remain Stable
In recent months, the real estate market has been impacted by several outside forces that have resulted in some uncertainty. While the Tax Credit has expired and some lenders are still working their way out of a foreclosure moratorium the market is struggling to find secure footing. A monthly survey of 54 metropolitan areas indicates that sales were 4.9% below those in September and 25.9% below sales in November 2009.
