Prescription Prices Like Everything Else Can Be Out Of Sight!

If you have had to purchase prescriptions lately you know how expensive they can be!  Prescriptions, like everything else, have gone up in price.  Until recently we were able to order our prescriptions via mail order at reduced prices.  But that for us has stopped...I recently learn about WAL*MART is offering a "$4 Prescription Program" with no insurance required.  After doing some research I found out that between my husband and myself we have eight prescriptions....at the mail-order average of $25 each it was costing a hefty amount each month. WAL*MART offers four of these eight prescriptions on their "$4 Prescription Program"!  That's a HUGE savings a month....$16 instead of $100 (for four prescriptions)!  Nicer is the fact that we can order a three month supply for $10, a savings of another $2.00.  Everything from penicillin to predisone, asthma meds to cholesterol meds are on the list....the list is five pages and is broken down by what the medication is being used to treat, making for easy reading.  The majority of the items are generic.  Do some price comparison before ordering your meds, it's amazing the difference in prices between the different drug stores.

This is not just in Nevada but is offered at most WAL*MART Pharmacies. There is a disclaimer at the bottom that several states may have higher prices and it names those states.

NV, Las Vegas: Stagnant Pools and Mosquitoes

NV, Las Vegas: Everlyse Cabrera

On June 10, 2006 two-year-old Everlyse Cabrera disappeared from the home of her foster parents in North Las Vegas.  Although the case drew nationwide coverage by the news media and was aired on America's Most Wanted nary a sign of her had been found until today, April 30, 2008.  At the top of the 6pm news tonight it was announced that Everlyse may have been found in Green Bay WI during a drug bust.  

All of Las Veges is praying tonight that this finding in Green Bay will put this case to an end...what a hard, short life this little 4 year old has had...to be taken from her biological parents and put with foster parents...then to disappear from foster care and be gone for two years, and then to be possibly found during a drug raid.   DNA tests are being done and police in WI are saying that there are 'striking similarities' between the little girl and Everlyse.

My prayers are with you Everlyse Cabrera where ever you are.

NV, Las Vegas: Check Out What's Happening with the R.E. Maket

Total inventory is WAY down over November 2007 by almost 5,000 listings!  Closings are climbing as the market in Vegas starts a turn around.  Check the number of closings since April 1, 2008 compared to the month of December 2007!  According to these stats things are looking positive!

Short Sales and Foreclosures still abound...but when checking the MLS things are a lot more positive than I had thought.  Only a little over 50% of homes for sale are in some form of repossession.

As the sun shines down on Las Vegas and the days warm up there is certainly no better time for buyers to make their move here!  It is definitely a buyers market.  And priced correctly it's still a perfect time for homeowners to think about selling. 

 Call or e-mail me for all your Clark County NV real estate needs.

These figures do not include new homes (not in the MLS) or For Sale By Owners, nor do they include those bank owned properties not in the MLS.  All figures are per the GLVAR MLS system and are deemed to be correct but not guaranteed.

Cracks In Your Driveway or Patio?

When a client spots cracks in a concrete driveway or other concrete areas outside a home they are viewing, it is not time to panic. Cracks can be repaired quickly and relatively easily and needn’t be costly or hold up a home sale. Share these tips with your homeowner to help them understand their options and to help your home sales go smoothly!

Concrete has a tendency to crack during settling or changes in the weather. However, when cracks start to spread, it’s time to go into repair mode. In winter, water can seep into an untreated crack, freeze, and make the crack larger as the water expands. Having concrete repoured can cost upwards of $1,000, so it is important to take immediate action.

Narrow Cracks: Clean the crack and surrounding area thoroughly with a wire brush and broom. Fill with a masonry crack filler that comes in a cartridge designed to be used in a caulking gun, or use a vinyl concrete patching compound applied and smoothed with a putty knife. Vinyl concrete patching compound is ideal since it does not require a bonding agent.

Wide Cracks: Use a small hammer and chisel to widen the base of the crack. This technique will make it wider at the base than at the surface, keeping the patch in place for a more secure and permanent repair. Clean the area in and around the crack with a wire brush and broom. Wash with a stream of water. Mix vinyl patching compound and trowel the compound into the cracks. Pack the mixture tightly to remove air pockets. Smooth the mixture with the trowel. When the patch has set, smooth or brush the surface to match the surrounding area.

Personalized License Plates and Christianity

Vehicle owners in most states have a wide variety of specialty  license plates to choose from...Nevada has MANY to choose from.....University plates, firefighter plates, animal appreciation, missing and exploited children as well as dozens of others.  Nevada still does not have plates for REALTOR® although I know that the REALTOR® organization has tried to get them.  Does your state have REALTOR® license plates?

The Florida Legislature is considering a specialty license plates with a design that includes a Christian cross, a stained-glass window and the words 'I Believe'."  Click here for the full story.  Of course, there will be the usual 'balk' over something like this....but I personally think it would be an awesome idea.
