Why, oh why, do the summer weeks fly by so quickly? Seems just about the time we’re getting ready to shop for summer vacation supplies, store shelves are already being stocked with back-to-school supplies. What’s the rush? Speaking of rush, remember that hyperactive real estate market we had going earlier this year? When buyers were making full-price offers without even seeing the house in person and others were foregoing contingencies and offering well over the asking price? According to sources like Norada and Realtor.com, the housing market appears to be at a tipping point. The annual price growth rate has slowed for the second month and the average number of days on market has declined for the first time in four months - meaning newly listed properties aren’t being scooped up as quickly as they were earlier this year. The housing market isn’t back to what is was, but it does seem to be balancing out. “Market trends point to a positive development for buyers as we enter the crucial home buying season of 2021, “ reports Norada. While it remains a sellers’ market in most regions, there are still deals to be found. Enlist the help of an exerienced agent, present your best offer and get ready to make your move.

3 Ways To Get
The House
You Want
Over five million homes are sold in America every year, according to realtors. In a perfect world, you’d fall in love with a new home, submit an offer, and have the seller accept it. The world, however, is rarely perfect. So how can you make your offer stand out when there’s competition for the home you want? Here are three hints that can help. 1. Shorten the timeline: Sellers want to move on. Offering a quick close lets them get to their own new home sooner and alleviates worries about the transaction falling through. Removing contingencies is a strategy to fast-track the closing timeline. You can work with your agent to determine whether waiving contingencies is a good option in your situation.
2. Make a cash offer: Nothing appeals to sellers like cash. When you offer cash instead of getting a mortgage, you eliminate the time for the mortgage to close. You also remove the risk of the mortgage loan not going through. Don’t have the cash? There are still options. Companies such as Flyhomes make the cash offer on your behalf, close with the seller, then sell the home to you at the same price after your mortgage is finalized. That firm also supplies you with a Client Advisor who is your coach from start to finish. You’re supported by specialists for touring, research and more. Plus they’ll help you deal with title and escrow.
3. Find out why the seller is selling: A great real estate agent will tailor your offer to the seller’s goals. A seller who’s lived in a home for a long time is likely looking for a buyer who will cherish the home as much as they did. In that case, you might choose to write a letter to the seller to accompany your offer. On the other hand, the home may be owned by an investor, who will be most interested in selling to the buyer with the highest price and best terms. For further facts and tips on buying a home, go to: www.flyhomes.com. (NAPSI)
What To Know
About Mold
& Mildew
If you’re like a lot of homeowners, your domicile is in danger from an insidious, invisible growth—mold— and you don’t even know it. That’s because for many people, mold conjures up images of smelly, green and black growth that can cause serious respiratory issues. It is often found in a home after an intrusive water event, such as a flood or a severe rainstorm. The reality is, just about every home has mold, though it only becomes a concern when there are moist building materials and you begin to notice visible mold growth and can smell it. Mold and water damage can have a negative effect on your and your family’s health, as well
as on the safety and structure of your home. People with allergies to mold may experience sneezing, runny nose, red eyes, rash and upper respiratory problems. Homes in areas where there’s a potential for flooding, tornadoes, or hurricanes are especially at risk. Mold typically grows in damp places such as basements and crawlspaces. Apart from floods, the four major causes of mold and water damage in residences are: leaks in the building envelope (that is, around window frames, roof); unattended plumbing leaks; high humidity levels (particularly from unvented or improperly vented indoor moisture sources, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and clothes dryers); and condensation on cool surfaces (on kitchen and bathroom surfaces, on window frames, in basements). The good news is there are steps you can take to identify and remove mold, and prevent its re-occurrence by keeping the water out of the house. AIHA (formerly American Industrial Hygiene Association), the organization for scientists and professionals committed to preserving and ensuring occupational and environmental health and safety (OEHS) in the workplace and community, created free resources for consumers including: “Facts About Mold: A Consumer Focus,” a downloadable guide to the problems of mold growth and what you can do to prevent it; and a brief video, “What is mold? Who’s affected?”—a quick guide to the dangers of mold in your home. If mold damage is severe, it may be time to seek the help of an OEHS professional or Certified Industrial Hygienist with extensive mold investigation and remediation experience. You can find a list of OEHS experts at www.aiha.org/public-resources/consultants-listing. (NAPSI)

Make Your House Safer This Summer
Even though we try to make our homes as safe as possible for our children, accidents and injuries can still occur in the home. Preventable injuries, unfortunately, happen more often than they should, and some occur because of hazards we may not even think of. Keeping your family safe is a priority! Below are a few ideas to prevent accidents from occurring in your home. The tips on this list are easy, inexpensive and can make your home safer in as little as a day.
• Convert all corded window coverings to cordless alternatives: The Window Covering Safety Council (WCSC) recommends that parents and caregivers check for corded window coverings in all homes their child spends time in. Corded window coverings pose a risk to small children, who can become accidentally entangled in the cord. It is best to use a cordless window covering, or a window covering without an accessible cord. If you find your window coverings are corded and purchase replacements, look for the Best for Kids™ label on the box of the window coverings. This label is present on the box of window coverings that have been tested by an independent third-party and deemed safer for children than their corded counterparts.
• Purchase child safety locks for cabinets: Some of your cabinets are where you store your ingredients to make your next home-
cooked meal. Others are where you store potentially dangerous household cleaning objects. Do not let your child have access to either. Purchase child safety locks to prevent messes and hazardous situations from occurring. Remember to store items like prescriptions in places children cannot reach, like high cabinets.
• Cover all open electrical sockets: If your child can crawl, they may become curious about objects around the house. Remember to purchase covers for any unused electrical sockets so children cannot place their hands in them. Additionally, tie down any cords that connect to an electrical socket from a household item, like a television. Children may become curious about these cords and become accidentally entangled.
• Cover sharp objects and edges on furniture: You can prevent an unnecessary injury to a child by covering corners on furniture, like coffee tables. Soft objects, such as tennis balls or foam pads, can be placed over these pieces of furniture to make them safer for children. If you have the budget, you can also replace this furniture with new items that do not have sharp or pointed corners.
• Trash can safety: Young children can accidentally make their way into your trash can and ingest something they are not supposed to or cut themselves on a sharp object, such as glass. You can prevent this by keeping your trash in a location a child cannot get into, such as a locked cabinet, or by placing a locking lid that a child cannot open on the trash can.
• Consider using a toy box without a lid: A toy box is an easy way to make sure all your child’s favorite items are in one easy-to-find place. However, toy boxes with a lid can slam shut, potentially injuring your child’s hands, or even trapping a child inside. Remember to buy a toy box without a lid to prevent this. If your toy
box does have a lid, make sure the lid is springloaded, easy to open, and has holes in it. For more childproofing tips check out WCSC’s safety blog. (BPT)

The American Cancer Society’s Capital Region “Real Men Wear Pink” team is made up of a collection of local business and non-profit leaders who raised over $386,000, the most money of any metropolitan area in the country during October’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month in 2020!
WHY I WEAR PINK - Breast cancer affects everyone - it doesn’t matter if you’re a man or a woman. That’s why I’m stepping up to fight breast cancer with all I have. Since I’m in a position to make a difference within my community, I believe I have an obligation to do so. By raising money and awareness through Real Men Wear Pink, I’m helping to save more lives from breast cancer.
PLEASE DONATE TODAY AND JOIN ME IN THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER.
