People spend more time and thought buying a pair of Nike's than they do on their mortgage. I can understand consumer reluctance because it's a very confusing process that you don't go through all that often. But, just like any consumer product, you should do your due-diligence and home work as best as you can. The hardest part is comparison. Mortgages have so many different variables for their rates now you must be sure that you are able to compare apples to apples. Will it be confusing? Probably! But you owe it to yourself to take some time and do your best to figure out which mortgage plan is the best for you. You owe it to yourself as this will be a long term debt that you will have to live with an average of 10 years! I also do not recommend shopping for loans online as there are ju... 10/20/2013

What do homeowners want most in their kitchens?  I have to agree with this survey based on what buyers ask for when we are home shopping and how they want to utilize the kitchen itself. Stainless appliances and hardwood floors are the top 2 requests. I would also like to add that most homeowners would 'prefer' granite or marble counter tops UNTIL they check out the prices. There aren't very many mid-range homes that can actually recoup the costs involved. Hope you enjoy this post, survey and infographic all rolled into one from Houzz.
