[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Federal budget cuts will result in a significant loss of jobs in the area. The national economy will continue to improve, and interest rates will rise nationally. These two forces will pull down demand and increase the cost of buying, respectively. Housing prices will at minimum not go up as much as some may think and could actually go down locally.[/quote]

It will take a lot more than that to drain the swamp.[/quote]

What I find more disgusting than house prices is the cost of services in this area. I can do much more for 1/2 the price elsewhere, and get a better job done. $2,500 to have people come, cut the tops off of weeds and mulch, leaving me with the same darn issue in a month's time? Just no.

I am now hand-weeding every bed and hand-mulching with cedar. Got done with one side, only to have the mowers cut the grass and throw grass-clippings all over the newly mulched beds. GRRR.[/quote]

For a variety of reasons, we as homeowners are doing more ourselves too. Certainly on yard work, but also on interior maintenance like whole house hardwood floor refinishing, painting, minor plumbing, insulation etc. We started to when we found we were paying more for less quality.[/quote]
