It's that time of year when Spring cleaning is in the air - literally!  There are a plethora of cleaning products available these days for a variety of purposes and outcomes.  Some claim to improve the "smell" of your air, while others claim to "reduce" items that make your home smell.  But one thing almost ALL of them have in common is a laundry list of chemicals.    Cleaning products can also be very bad for those with breathing difficulties, COPD and asthma are a couple of afflictions.  But there are also items that you might never guess are harmful to those suffering from asthma.  The obvious irritant is a pet due to their dander and what they bring into a home with thme, but irritants can also include dust mites and bugs! For a complete resource of irritants and issues related to i... 04/20/2025

 My comments, "While the talking heads are expressing gloom, doom, and recession with the activation of tariffs a simple search on government (.gov sites), and news outlets that report unbiased news demonstrates progress. Does this affect the pocketbook of U.S. citizens, the simple answer is yes with caveats. Examples: For perishable items like fresh produce (e.g., bananas from Guatemala, avocados from Mexico, or shrimp from Vietnam), price hikes could appear relatively quickly—within days to a couple of weeks. However, Vietnam has requested reciprocal 0 (zero) tariffs that will neuter any tariff with this country. This is progress. For non-perishable goods (e.g., coffee, sugar, electronics, or clothing), the timeline is slightly longer—likely weeks to a few months. For durable goods li... 04/05/2025

Townhomes: A Smart Solution  Buying your first home in today’s market can feel tough. Between high home prices and mortgage rates, affordability is still a big challenge.

You can usually find a smaller footprint (and sometimes better affordability) in townhomes.Why Townhomes Are Gaining PopularityTownhomes typically cost less than single-family homes due to their more limited size. And that’s a big plus for today’s budget-conscious buyer. As Realtor.com says: "In today's market, affordability remains a key priority for homebuyers, making t... 04/02/2025

Recently, I was tagged in a comment on a Facebook page for NAR GREEN Designees that posed the question - "Are solar panels less efficient when they are dusty?"  Several agents commented without a definitive answer. One agent who is continually searching for correct answers and articles tagged me in that feed.   Being asked questions is a great way to share knowledge, but also to catch up on research.  As with any real estate related question, accurate answers backed with research is the only way we should be answering.   Energy related information is constantly evolving and staying up on this topic is a constant effort.  With real estate being the primary focus for my business, energy efficiency research can sometimes take a backseat.  But not today! As a solar homeowner, I can testify ... 03/20/2025
