Consumers are busy buying houses, according to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), which announced this week that its Pending Home Sales Index rose 6.4 percent in August to its highest level since March 2007.

A forward-looking indicator based on contracts signed to purchase a home, the Pending Home Sales Index in the Northeast jumped 8.2 percent from July and is 12 percent higher than August 2008. Conditions remain ideal for purchasing a home.

 Homebuyers are more interested than ever in purchasing an energy-efficient home. With the warm weather months upon us, buyers will be looking at a home's cooling costs and energy-saving features with a more critical eye. Get started by making some of these simple improvements to your home to help lower monthly utility bills, increase your property's overall appeal and reduce the impact on the environment: Contact your utility company to arrange for an energy audit that will show where the home is energy inefficient. Caulk and use weather stripping to fill air leaks around doors and windows. This will minimize the amount of air conditioning that is required to keep the house cool. It will also help keep the house warm during the winter months. If you will be purchasing any new appliance...

 Implementing timeless home design trends can transform a house into a home, and help it appeal to a variety of buyers when it comes time to sell. Katherine Salant, a nationally syndicated columnist for The Washington Post, reveals that the most popular home design trends are those that fit the needs of all age groups. According to Salant, one such example is having both a master and second bedroom on the first floor. This arrangement allows homeowners to utilize the second bedroom in a number of ways: nursery, child's bedroom, guest bedroom, home office, etc. Other enduring home design trends include: Separating Your Office Space: As more people telecommute, using a hallway or a breezeway to completely separate the home office space from the home can help with work-life balance.   Cook...

Many first-time buyers purchase a condominium residence. Those buyers hoping to get under contract on a condo in the next several weeks so they can take advantage of the $8,000 tax credit, should make time for thorough research prior to making an offer. When you buy a condo, you are also buying into a homeowners association and the related maintenance and repairs. As a result, would-be condo buyers should consider the following: Review the homeowners association's reserve study, which outlines the minimum level of funds to keep in reserve for repairs. Make sure to understand the condo's plan for maintenance and how it will be paid for.  Find out if there have been any special assessments and/or if any are planned. Special assessments are levied for unbudgeted expenses, and all homeowner...
