Early summer serves hope with a side of nostalgia

Summer is almost here… my garden is finally fully planted. My house continues to look like no one’s interested in cleaning it, but who wants to spend any time inside now that the weather beckons us outside? One could argue that I’ll latch onto any excuse not to clean the house and the house didn’t look so clean even when the weather kept me inside, but one would be so rude, don’t you think? My calendar is gloriously void of concrete plans for the summer but ...

Are we in a buyer’s or seller’s market?

Q: When it comes to home buying and selling, what is a “seller’s market” and what is a “buyer’s market?  How do I know which one we are in? A: These terms describe different kinds of housing market conditions. Simply put, when the number of houses available for purchase (called inventory) in an area is high, then buyers will have an advantage. Sellers may be concerned about their competition and might be willing to come down in price, accept conditions on ...

Housing inventory limited in Northwest, but development continues

The northwest area is an unusual combination of industrial and commercial areas, along with hundreds of small acreage properties north of Interstate 70.

Can this old dog learn a new trick?

As much as I’ve enjoyed spending every weekend working in my yard this spring, getting my garden ready, planting seeds, seedlings and anything that didn’t move fast enough to get out of my reach, I think I’m ready to reclaim my life. I mean seriously, if the only hobby I’m going to pursue in my spare time is gardening, I should just pack it up and move to Iowa.

An existing home may come with baggage – dirty carpets, an evaporative cooler that ...
