  In many places, home prices are heading up and more buyers are hitting the market. If you're selling, you obviously want to get the best price, but don't want to spend a lot on renovations. Fair enough! However, studies show there are five issues you really should address, because they turn off home buyers right away. Fix these and you have your best shot at selling your home in less time for more money. Best of all, you can tackle these issues yourself for not very much money. 1. Paint problems. Peeling paint on siding and trim makes a house look uncared for and results in lower offers from buyers. Inside, walls painted colors that are dark, like navy, or unusual, like hot pink, are a complete buyer turnoff. But painting is an easy and inexpensive do-it-yourself fix. 2. Unkempt lands... 06/12/2013

  10 danger zones that could threaten your home PLUS 6 misconceptions about remodeling costs Tornadoes, hurricanes, and floods grab all the headlines, but your home is way more vulnerable to house fires (which occur in the U.S. every 82 seconds) and water damage. Of course, if you live in a hurricane, flood, or tornado prone area, do take special precautions. But here are 10 areas everyone should look at to avoid serious damage from fire and water.  1. Roof. In northern climates, a roof that gets too warm in winter will melt the snow, creating runoff that freezes where it meets the gutter. The result is an ice dam that forces water up under the shingles. The fix is to add attic insulation and venting to keep the roof cool. 2. Gutters. Clogged gutters can cause major water damage when th... 03/13/2013

  Stronger than expected economic news from Europe last week caused a noticeable bump up in interest rates and we see that continuing today with stronger than expected economic data this morning adding to Friday's large losses. December Durable Orders rose 4.6% from November, above the consensus of 2.0%. Excluding volatile aircraft orders, they increased 1.3%, compared to a consensus of just 0.7%. Bonds sold off after the news, with 10-yr Treasury yields reaching 2.0% for the first time since April. Reports that European banks will pay back EU bailout aid sooner than expected, reflecting strength, added to the global move from bonds to riskier assets. We still see interest rates in the 3's for most buyers as of today, but more good news will continue the upward climb for rates. A few mo... 01/28/2013
