Here are 11 to-dos to get your home and yard in the spring spirit.

Home Sales: Are They Increasing or Decreasing?
|
|
by The KCM Crew
 There has been a lot of chatter about the last few Existing Home Sales Reports from the National Association of Realtors(NAR). Year-over-year sales have been down four of the last five months. Experts are asking whether or not the housing recovery is beginning to stall. Let's take a closer look at the data.
It is true that last month's annualized sales rate of 4.62M was less than the 4.87M reported last January. However, after further scrutiny, the report reveals an interesting situation: sales of non-distressed properties are actually up. In January 2013, 23% of the 4.87M sales were distressed properties (foreclosures and short sales) meaning 3.75M non-distressed properties were sold. In January 2014, 15% of the 4.62M sales were distressed properties. That means 3.93M non-distressed properties sold - an increase of 180,000 sales.
