New Toilets & Attic Ladders Do Not Increase Property Value (25 other examples) - 07/31/11 02:42 PM
Greg using Chris Rock as a start puts some humor in his post. he is right there are many thinks called home repair that do not add value, but if you don't do them, you value will drop!!!
Via Greg Nino Houston Texas (RE/MAX West Houston Professionals):
Chris Rock has a great skit where he pokes fun at parents who brag about feeding their children and buying them clothes. These two examples are basic requirements by parents and not even remotely an example of going above and beyond the call of duty. It's my job and expectation as a dad to provide food. … (1 comments)

Will Getting Rid of Realtors® Restore the Housing Market? - 07/30/11 11:18 AM

Via John Mulkey, Housing Guru (TheHousingGuru.com):
“Want to Jump-Start the Housing Market?  Get Rid of the Realtors®”  The waggish title of a recent post on “Freakonomics,” immediately caught my attention.  The website, which offers money-saving and investment advice, sometimes does so with clever and quick-witted banter.  And while the title did exactly as intended, driving me to click on the post, the content proved to be far short of particulars.  Worse, … (3 comments)

Is FHA Mortgage Better Than A Conforming One? - 07/27/11 08:29 PM
Great charts and good information in this blog post! Also a very good use of charts to show the difference in FHA vs conventional rates!
Via Gallegos Mortgage Team (Amerifirst):
The FHA is insuring a greater percentage of loans than during any time in recent history. In 2006, it insured roughly 5 percent of the purchase mortgage market. Today, it insures one-quarter. "Going FHA" is more common than ever before -- but is it better?
The answer -- like most things in mortgage -- depends on your circumstance.
Like its conforming counterpart, an FHA-insured mortgage is available as a fixed-rate loan and as an … (0 comments)

WAS THAT A DEPRESSION I JUST SAW???.....Just What Are The Current Housing Figures Telling Us? - 07/27/11 10:34 AM

Clintonville Ohio Market Report June 2011 - 07/14/11 01:53 PM
This past June in Clintonville Ohio saw 30 single family homes and condominiums sold. The average home sold was a 3BD 1BA 1,541 square foot home. This type of home sold for $182,150 after being on the market for 87 days.
In June 2010 we saw 37 homes get sold. The average was a 2BD 1BA 1,678 square foot home selling for $216,166 after 66 days on the market.
So in Clintonville, we're seeing fewer homes get sold, we're also seeing similar homes selling for less, and being on the market longer. What could this mean?

Low-Price Rain Barrels Help Homes Trickle into Green Status - 07/08/11 12:15 PM
Conservation-minded Columbus residents can buy rain barrels at one-third the normal price after registering their home as a GreenSpot and attend a workshop or pass a quiz taken online. Mayor Michael Coleman announced the Columbus GreenSpot Backyard Conservation Program at a press conference Wednesday, June 29.
A rain barrel is an easy way to get water to yards and gardens, and its free! Through the initiative, residents can buy a rain barrel for $45, 1/3 of the $139 retail price. Using a rain barral lowers the demand for treated water and saves on water bills, said an environmental steward for the mayor's office. … (2 comments)
