 Perhaps when you picture Yorkville, iL you don't think of sushi, but after visiting Sushi Bay in the strip mall on the corner of Rt. 47 and Route 34 (Ogden) earler this year Yorkville and Sushi are no longer that far apart. With its great location minutes from down town Yorkville and centrally located from both the older sections of town and the newer subdivisions such as Grande Reserve, for sushi lovers that discover this place its definitely a find.  I have visited the local Panera Bread many tims before and really had not paid attention to this other restaurant but I am glad that some close friends asked me to meet them there and now I don't have to travel to Naperville or Batavia for sushi! Not as large as its Naperville location, the food is just as good or even better.  They were... 10/01/2011

  As I speeded (legal) down Rt. 47 several weeks ago, a sign caught my eye...and I made a quick decision to check it out.  I was heading towards Yorkville to do a couple of errands but did not have a time deadline.  The small strip mall like so many that cropped up during the heady days of the housing market was about 50% full.  Could it be an art gallery?  Or perhaps some sort of art therapy company?  I took my camera to document my visit.  As I entered the store I noticed that the location next to it was being worked on. What a pleasant surprise when I entered the Olive Gallery..rows upon rows of gourmet olive oil!  The ambiance was like a good Italian restaurant with warm earthy colors and diffused lighting.  I introduced myself to the owner and asked her about her business.  A shor... 04/26/2011

4 Renovations That Will Devalue Your Home Source: U.S. News & World Report | January 20, 2011 Most homeowners think that all renovations or home improvement project ideas will increase the value of their property. After all, who wouldn't love a super-deluxe kitchen, or a bathroom fancy enough to be in a five-star spa? Sure, we'd all love that. But the problem is that most people don't want to pay extra for someone else's pet project when it comes to buying a home. Homeowners should of course invest in renovations that are going to make them happy and improve quality of life. It is "home" after all! But if you're going to be putting your home on the market any time soon or are in the business of flipping houses, certain upgrades could end up doing you more harm than good. If you think yo... 01/30/2011

CNN Poll: Optimism On Economy Edges Up Source: CNN | January 21, 2011 Less than a quarter of all Americans say the economy is in good shape, according to a new national poll. But the 24 percent who give the economy a thumbs up in a CNN/Opinion Research Corporation survey released Friday is a six point jump since November. "Economic optimism has grown by leaps and bounds in the Western states. Fifty percent of westerners said the economy was in very poor shape in November, but only 28 percent feel that way today," says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted Jan. 14-16, with 1,014 adult Americans questioned by telephone. [Read this article] 01/30/2011

Why You Might Be Better Off Than You Think Source: U.S. News & World Report | January 20, 2011 There are plenty of things wrong with the U.S. economy, and practically everybody knows what they are. Yet America remains one of the most comfortable places in the world to live, and prosperity is still well within many people's reach. Longer-term gains in quality of life remain largely intact - including many improvements we tend to take for granted. "People care about more than GDP," says Michael Cox, a professor at Southern Methodist University and former chief economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas. "Living standards also involve leisure time and recreation, variety in choice of diet, working conditions, and safety and security. And most of those things are still getting better."... 01/30/2011

Housing's Future Looking Brighter Source: USA Today | January 20, 2011 housing industry is poised to gain strength this year after coming off one of its worst years ever in 2010, economic forecasts and new data released Wednesday show. One cause for optimism: Building permits for new single-family homes rose 5.5% last month, the third-consecutive monthly increase and the strongest showing since March, the Commerce Department said. That sets the stage for more home construction later this year as the economy improves, says Celia Chen, economist at Moody's Analytics. "The trend is up," Chen says. The key is job creation, says Lawrence Yun, chief economist with the National Association of Realtors. When more people are working, and earning higher incomes, home buying increases. IHS expects... 01/30/2011

They Did What To That House?! Remodel Horror Stories Source: CNN Money | January 24, 2011 You've heard of McMansions, but what about Frankenhouses? These are homes that have been "renovated" to feature things like pipes running through living rooms, bedrooms strung together like garlic cloves, and fluorescent floors. It's scary what people do to their homes. HomeVestors - famous for its "We Buy Ugly Homes" billboards - specializes in buying these homes that no one else would want. In fact, they're often so bad that they have to label listings as "for investors only" because they're not suited to ordinary buyers. For example, those pipes running through the living room? They would have to be completely redone before the house could even get inspected. "We get a lot of the houses after re... 01/30/2011

Better To Rent Or Buy? Check Out Trulia's City-By-City Index Source: Wallet Pop | January 24, 2011 Trulia.com, a popular website that covers the housing market, has calculated the affordability of renting vs. buying in America's 50 largest cities. Miami and Las Vegas top the list as ideal places to buy instead of paying a landlord. New York City, with its median unit price of $1.3 million to $1.4 million, occupies the bottom of the index, meaning that it can make more sense to rent. "In any market it is still possible to reap benefits from owning a house, but in the more expensive markets it will take longer to come out ahead," said Hanna Edwards, an associate broker for M. Woods & Associates. Trulia tabulated the ratios for its rankings by weighing the total costs of renting a two-bedr... 01/30/2011
