2014 Real Estate Market - Buying can be More Affordable than Renting     In a recent press release, Zillow stated that the affordability of the nation’s rental inventory is currently much worse than affordability of the country’s home sale inventory.

FICO Scoring ChangesFICO, the nation’s most popular credit-scoring system, announced this week that it is changing some of the criteria used in calculating consumers’ scores. This, obviously could lead to consumers saving money when qualifying for mortgages and other types of loans. The changes include: ·         Reducing the toll that overdue medical bills can take on credit scores, as well as ·         Removing other past penalties from consumers who have paid off debts that had been assigned to collection agencies. ·         A consumer whose only major delinquency comes from an unpaid medical bill could see their credit score rise by 25 points due to the changes. The changes come after a recent Consumer Financial Protection Bureau study found that both paid and unpaid medical debts w...

Reduce, Reuse or Recycle ?? Recently I read a clever article that pointed out that the aphorism "reduce, reuse, recycle" is literally meant to be applied in that order. I hope I'm not alone when I admit that never dawned on me.In my household we have moved from paper napkins/towels to clothe, plastic bottles have been swapped out for reusable glass bottles and green food scraps now go to a small compost bin.  As an aside, the local squirrel population is a huge fan of the compost bin and seem to treat it like an all-you-can-eat buffet.As an active citizen in my neighborhood and a Green certified Realtor I take these subjects personally.  I regularly use my local forest preserves, enjoy farm-to-table restaurants and have begun moving my entire business towards being paperless.  I underst...
