"Housing Market is Muddled Duddled Fuddled Wuddled" 
Do you feel like you are listening to Dr. Seuss on the national news? Give yourself a break and turn it off. We live in one of the top 10 areas of the country for housing stability and affordability being in line with our cost of living. I won't muddle your mind with stats but consider this.
Buyers have incentives with mortgage rates still low and the home buyers tax credit now available not only to first timers but also to those who have lived in their primary residence for 5 of the last 8 years. We have buyers!
Houses are selling! Ways to make this happen include: yes, pricing it right to start with; however, take it a couple steps further to get the most dollars the quickest way. Clean, clean, clean, organize, and stage. Sellers are spending money to stage as much as possible and this often means the difference between selling and not selling. Choose an agent who will not only give you a couple hours of staging consultation but will roll up her sleeves and cut your costs by actually assisting with the staging process.

Helpful Plumbing Tips That Save You $$$$$
Plumbing is something we use every day and which most of us know little about. As long as everything is running smoothly, we don't much care about our plumbing or bother to contact a plumber for a periodic "health check". But once it acts up we're very frustrated and usually a bit lost. Here are 5 plumbing tips that every homeowner should remember.
1. Flush out your water heater annually to extend the life.
2. Use an Enzyme for drain maintenance, NO DRAINO.
3. Disconnect your water hoses from the faucets in the winter to help prevent freezing.
4. Have your gas system tested annually for leaks.
5. Avoid using bleach tablets in your toilet tank.
