avon lake homes for sale real estate in avon lake: What makes a home a condo?
- 07/11/10 05:44 PM
Condominium Property Characteristics Condominiums can take many forms structurally. They may be like regular apartments, or they may be townhouses. In fact, many are converted apartment houses or townhouse complexes. Some condominium communities actually offer individual standalone houses; these communities look like typical housing tracts, but again the residents own only the air space inside their homes. Even though each may have a fair amount of property, that property is managed by the association and not the individual owners. Condominiums, also known as "condos," offer many of the same amenities as home ownership, except that the development is managed by … (0 comments)

avon lake homes for sale real estate in avon lake: Water and Pool Safety for Kids
- 07/10/10 06:21 AM
Summer is all about enjoying the pool and a fun swim, but parents also need to be on the lookout for the real danger of young children drowning. Four-time Olympic gold medalist Janet Evans shares important and helpful advice to help parents protect their children and teach young ones to swim: Start early Once a child is potty trained, a child is old enough to take swim lessons. There are even classes for infants! If a parent wants to take a child in a pool to play before that, it’s fine, but it’s not really learning to swim until ages 2-3. … (5 comments)

avon lake homes for sale real estate in avon lake: Watching your kids enjoy sports is for the open hearted.
- 07/06/10 05:41 PM
As a coach and parent I have been notorious for taking the "go get them" approach to sports at times. It can be hard especially when you coach them and you feel parents look at the coach as if "what are doing with my kid out there". But I really feel I learned some thing this past season of coaching soccer. And that is parents love to see you be there for the kids for learning the fun of the sport, learning to team play, build friendships and lastly, pointed out to that child on the field or after the game for what they did … (3 comments)
avon lake homes for sale real estate in avon lake: Extreme Heat in the Cleveland area sure makes it hard to sell homes.
- 07/06/10 04:48 PM
The National Weather Service in Cleveland is calling for highs in the lower 90s throughout the week. And while the hot and dry weather may cause some to crank their air conditioning units, the heat is pretty bearable compared to temperatures lingering over mid-Atlantic states. But I would have to say it sure has been hard to work. Getting in and out of your car. Going to homes without AC or let alone a window open can be very unbearable. So my question to you is, " How have you been doing in this temperature? What methods have you taken to … (4 comments)

- 07/03/10 06:24 PM
Having struggled through what I thought would be an easy FHA inspection I thought I share these important points of what to look for in an FHA inspection. FHA Inspection Requirements In December 2005 HUD announced changes to the types of repairs and inspections it requires for residential properties. According to HUD: "In a continuing effort to reform and standardize its appraisal requirements, FHA has shifted from its historical emphasis on the repair of minor property deficiencies and now only requires repairs for those property conditions that rise above the level of cosmetic defects, minor defects or normal wear and tear. … (5 comments)
