Existing-Home Sales Bouncing Back

According to the National Association of Realtors®, existing-home sales bounced back strongly in September with first-time buyers driving much of the activity -- marking five gains in the past six months.

Existing-home sales - including single-family, townhomes, condominiums and coops - jumped 9.4 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.57 million units in September from a level of 5.10 million in August, and are 9.2 percent higher than the 5.10 million-unit pace in September 2008. Sales activity is at the highest level in over two years.

NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun said favorable conditions matched with a tax credit are boosting home sales. "Much of the momentum is from people responding to the first-time buyer tax credit, which is freeing many sellers to make a trade and buy another home," Yun said. "We are hopeful the tax credit will be extended and possibly expanded to more buyers, at least through the middle of next year, because the rising sales momentum needs to continue for a few additional quarters until we reach a point of a self-sustaining recovery."

Total housing inventory at the end of September fell 7.5 percent to 3.63 million existing homes available for sale, which represents a 7.8-month supply at the current sales pace, down from an 9.3-month supply in August. Unsold inventory totals are 15 percent below a year ago.

The national average commitment rate for a 30-year, conventional, fixed-rate mortgage fell to 5.06 percent in September from 5.19 percent in August; the rate was 6.04 percent in September 2008, according to Freddie Mac.

5 Tips to Staging Your Home Like a Professional

Are you considering putting your house up for sale, but not sure where to start? Afraid it will take too long to sell, or that you won't get the price you want? If this is the case, you should definitely think about "staging" your home -- or in other words -- setting the scene for immediate buyer interest. Following are five tips to get you started:

  1. De-clutter -- This is one of the most important things you can do. It might be easier to think of de-cluttering like this: You're moving anyway, so why not start packing now?
  2. Storage -- Pack up everything you don't need and store the boxes out of sight in the garage, or better yet, an offsite storage facility.
  3. Organize Your Closets -- Put similar colors together, pants together, skirts together, shirts together, etc. Why? Because an organized closet looks bigger, and you want your closets to look as spacious as possible.
  4. Make It Look Like a Model -- You want to de-personalize as much as possible so potential buyers can imagine themselves and their own belongings occupying the space in your house. That means minimizing - putting away everything you don't need or use. Clear off the kitchen counter and stash all appliances you don't use on a daily basis.
  5. Your the Buyer -- Imagine yourself as a potential buyer looking at the property for the very first time. What impressions are you getting? Would you buy the house? What would you like to see changed before you put an offer on it?

Don't worry about spending a few hundred, even thousands, of dollars to get your house ready to sell - you'll likely get it all back, even more, when your home sells. Proper staging helps you sell your house in a shorter time and at the price you want.

4 Easy Steps to Installing Weather Stripping

Applying weather stripping around doors and windows is a low-cost way to stop drafts and cut down on heating and cooling costs. Here's what you do:

  1. Learn the different kinds of stripping -- adhesive-backed V strips that can be cut with scissors or a utility knife; compression strips; tubular gaskets; magnetic stripping for metal- or steel-clad doors.
  2. Measure the length of all seams to be weather-stripped, add a couple of inches for each seam and add the numbers together to determine how much you need.
  3. Cut the weather stripping to fit each seam. Apply the stripping all the way around a window by using adhesive, nails or screws. Attach the stripping to the jamb or the stop.
  4. Apply the stripping to the sides and the tops of doors. Use a weather-tight threshold or door sweep to seal the bottom. (A door sweep is a metal or wood bracket with a plastic or vinyl flap that hangs to the floor to stop airflow.)

Other Tips

  • Choose the weather stripping best suited to your needs. Ask store personnel for recommendations.
  • Clean the surface to which you're going to apply adhesive-backed weather stripping (if it's dirty or damp, the adhesive won't stick for long).
  • Foam and felt varieties of weather stripping don't apply easily and don't seem to last nearly as long as alternatives.

Understanding Antioxidants and Free Radicals

You hear the terms "antioxidants" and "free radicals" thrown around pretty frequently nowadays, leaving many people wondering, "What are they and why should I care?"

There is no simple answer, but here's a general explanation: The body forms unstable oxygen molecules called free radicals; every cell produces tens of thousands of them every day. A free radical is basically an atom with an odd number of electrons in its outer ring. Since electrons have a strong tendency to exist in a paired -- rather than an unpaired state -- free radicals indiscriminately pick up electrons from other atoms, which in turn convert those other atoms into secondary free radicals, thus setting up a chain reaction, which can cause substantial biological damage.

This, in short, is bad. There are also many kinds of free radicals, which we are exposed to every day, for example, pollution, radiation, smoke and herbicides.

And this is where antioxidants come into play; antioxidants are thought to neutralize and stabilize these free radicals. You should note there are many antioxidants found in natural foods, and it is thought the best way to take antioxidants is naturally, through fresh, vibrant food. Also, some antioxidants are only needed in small amounts, so be sure to check on recommened amounts.

5 Tips for Traveling By Car

For some trips, taking a car is the way to go. Following are five tips about traveling by car.

  1. Maximize gas mileage and efficiency. A well-maintained vehicle will go a long way to ensure carefree driving. Obviously, economy cars get better gas mileage than bigger vehicles, so, in some cases, it may make sense to rent. Minivans and SUVs are only practical if you have to transport a large family and lots of luggage.
  2. Keep yourself entertained. Music or books on tape can be a lifesaver. Solo driving can become extremely boring, especially if everyone else has fallen asleep. However, if you are actively listening to music or an audio book, time can pass quite quickly.
  3. Pack your own snacks and refreshments. Gas stations and restaurants are expensive, so avoid them if possible. Instead, pack a cooler with sodas, water, fruit, granola bars and a sandwich. You'll save money, eat better and make better time.
  4. Gas fill-ups. Don' wait until the last minute to get gas as it will likely be more expensive in remote locations. If you miscalculated and the light on the dashboard indicates that you really need gas, just put enough in to get to the next station where gas might be cheaper.
  5. Travel necessities. Travel with a cell phone and first aid kit. Both can prove to be essential in emergencies. Buy a disposable phone if you don't have one.
