With models priced from $29 to $5,000 and up, outdoor gas grills offer convenience and ease-of-use to fit any budget.There may be no home cooking appliance with a wider price range than the outdoor gas grill. With models starting as low as $29 and climbing to $5,000 and higher, it is an understatement to say there’s is a model for every budget. When shopping for a gas grill, the motto “You get what you pay for” is especially fitting, explains Dan Marguerite, owner of Backyard Barbecue Store in Wilmette, Ill.

Evansville Walkway Moves Forward - 05/25/11 04:47 PM
The Evansville Redevelopment Commission has approved a $3 million walkway connecting a downtown casino and hotel. The walkway would let people visit Casino Aztar and Le Merigot Hotel without having to go outside.
According to our partners at the Evansville Courier-Press, the lease between the city and casino required that a walkway be built by 2012, but casino leaders have decided to start the project early. The casino’s general manager says the project would also create a safer walk to nearby restaurants.

How to Appeal the Property Tax Assessment On Your Home - 05/24/11 02:31 PM
With the housing market having taken a serious hit in the recent past, I am sure you all know that home values have been plummeting. Well, one thing that did not plummet along with that is the property taxes most people are paying on those homes. The taxes some of us have been paying on our homes have been inaccurate (or unfair) to say the least. Several months after the housing market was in a full-fledged decline, I started seeing a good bit of coverage on this topic. And at the top of the list was what could the average homeowner … (0 comments)

Most Americans Believe Their Home is a Good Investment - 05/23/11 03:42 PM
Americans expressed cautious optimism about the housing market and the value of home ownership in Fannie Mae’s first quarter 2011 National Housing Survey.
The survey uncovered newfound optimism about home prices, the economy, and personal finances balanced by concerns about rising household expenses, which may require Americans to remain cautions about the recovery.
Despite consumer caution, 57% of Americans still believe that buying a home has a lot of potential as an investment—ranking higher than other investments, such as buying stocks or putting money into an IRA or 401(k) plan.
“Despite moderate signs of improvement in the housing market and the … (0 comments)

Market Watch News Letter for May 2011 - 05/19/11 04:12 PM
Market Watch Residential closed transactions in April declined slightly from March but pended transactions increased from March to April. I expect closed transactions to increase slightly over the next few months and still believe that the second half of 2011 will be significantly better than the second half of 2010. The primary factors influencing sales over the next few months will be interest rates, shadow inventory and general economic conditions with particular emphasis on employment. Although I still believe interest rates will increase, I do not expect any significant increase for several months, maybe not until 2012. Shadow inventory, which consists … (0 comments)

Four Types of Insurance You MUST Have At All Times - 05/19/11 02:43 PM
Today, I was reading an article in USA Today about homeowners that lost a court case contesting the policy language of their homeowner’s policy about storm surge/flood waters regarding the devastation from Hurricane Katrina. The judge upheld the ruling that the policy language is clear about not covering damages caused by storm surge or flood waters whether it is caused by actual flooding or wind. Obviously, none of these people had flood insurance, because they believed they would never need it. It’s a tragic story, because now we’ll definitely be seeing the true fallout of the Katrina damages when foreclosures and … (2 comments)

Builders Rethink Housing Designs - 05/11/11 02:19 PM
With new-home sales down drastically the last few years, builders are scrambling to re-evaluate what buyers today want in new homes. Changing demographics and tighter lending standards are influencing buyers' purchasing decisions when home-shopping and changing their priorities, industry experts say. "There is a lot of pressure today to retool," says Steve Brooks, CEO of Grand Homes. "We have to redesign houses and figure out what kind of product people would want to buy."For example, more younger buyers are bypassing the typical suburban tract of homes and showing a stronger preference for urban-style homes closer to the city."Trying to keep doing … (0 comments)

4 Signals It Might be Time to Buy (vs. Rent) Your Home - 05/09/11 02:45 PM
To rent or to buy:  what used to be a given - that you would buy a home as soon as you could afford to - has become an agonizing conundrum for many a would-be homebuyer, in the face of the housing market's big bust and super-slow recovery.  Low prices seem to create a wide-open window of opportunity, but they also create the concern that prices will keep falling after closing. And that Catch-22 has hundreds of thousands of buyers-to-be stuck on the fence. Fortunately, there are handful of life, mortgage and local market signals which indicate that the time *might* be … (0 comments)
