Testimonial
"We always felt like there was a plan in place during our home selling process. There was a lot of communication with the Helgeson/Platzke group and they were very active all the way through. It was a real partnership!"

Welcome!
Every November, we step back and reflect on what we're most thankful for. This month begins the whirlwind holiday season, and that means time for family gatherings, friends, and feeling grateful for the many blessings in our lives.
Housing prices are stabilizing, and even increasing in some cases. The current market presents consistency, which makes it a great time to consider buying or selling a home.
If you or someone you know have a new home on your radar screen, give me a call.

Home Depot Profit Tops Estimates as Housing Market Heals
Home Depot Inc. (HD), the largest U.S. home-improvement retailer, posted third-quarter profit that topped analysts' estimates as the recovering U.S. housing market prompted customers to spend more on home repairs.
Net income climbed 1.4 percent to $947 million, or 63 cents a share, from $934 million, or 60 cents, a year earlier, the Atlanta-based company said today in a statement. Excluding some items, profit was 74 cents. The average estimate (HD) of 25 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg was 70 cents. Sales rose 4.6 percent to $18.1 billion, topping the $17.9 billion average estimate.
The U.S. housing market is healing, with new-home sales rising to the fastest pace in two years and construction starting at the fastest rate in four years. The rebound has helped sales at Home Depot locations open at least a year gain 4.2 percent, the sixth straight quarterly increase (HD), as customers visited more often and spent more per trip.

Ten Simple Thanksgiving Rituals
By: Nancy Schluntz
Thanksgiving today is a holiday when the table is not the only thing that is laden. There are also family expectations, history, interactions, housecleaning and decorating, a day (or days) spent in food preparation, followed often by overeating. It can be stressful. It also can mean hours of trading stories over a meal laced with fellowship.
Thanksgiving is a ritual re-enactment of part of our history, greatly sanitized. In 1621, Pilgrims were grateful for Native American help in surviving those first winters. The relationship between the two peoples went downhill from there, though, as the settler population expanded. Over two hundred years later, Abraham Lincoln set aside a national day of thanksgiving.
The reason for Thanksgiving remains the same-to give thanks for the blessings and abundance that surround us. The grains and vegetables were harvested. The main dish, whether turkey or ham or something else, was once alive and now nourishes you. There is a great deal to celebrate in thanksgiving.
