We are swimming in data these days In real estate, you can find statistics, trends, and numerical predictions on home sales prices, foreclosure rates, housing inventory, commercial real estate absorption rates, mortgage activity, prices per square foot, the value of remodeling projects, and more. But what do you do
with all this information? Are the sources reliable and up-todate? If the numbers are for your region (or state, city, or ZIP code), do they translate to your neighborhood, that street in that neighborhood, and that exact property on that street in that neighborhood? Most important
of all, what do all those statistics mean to you if you’re getting ready to buy, sell, or lease a home or commercial property? It’s one thing to look at numbers on a website—quite another to do business in the actual world of real estate. A Texas REALTOR®
lives those numbers day in and day out and knows how the data relate to actual properties and real world negotiations. So digest all the real estate data you can find. Then hire a Texas REALTOR® to help you sort it all out and achieve your goals.
Home improvement tips to prepare for the summer storm season (BPT) - Summer storm season will soon be upon us - and some of those storms can be severe.
Water and storm damage to your home can quickly add up and potentially leave your family in danger, which is why it’s a good idea to conduct a spring checkup of your home. Ed Del Grande is a master contractor and nationally syndicated home improvement expert. He recommends that all homeowners follow these five tips to make sure their homes and yards are ready for wet and stormy weather: 1. Gutters and downspouts - If a gutter fails, it can cause problems with the foundation of your home. Be sure you attach extensions at the base of all downspouts to carry the water away from your home’s foundation. Del Grande recommends a minimum of four feet. 2. Sump pumps Across much of the country, basements
will have sump pumps installed to remove excessive ground water. Get this system checked before the storm season starts. A failed system in the middle of heavy rains could result in a flooded basement, causing damage to the floor, walls and any items stored in the room.
3. Roofing and shingles - Hire a professional roofing contractor to inspect the shingles and roof gutters for any damage that might cause leaks during heavy rains. If heavy or large hail hits your area, ask the inspector to come back to reevaluate the shingles. 4. Standby generator - Summer storms can cause the most damage if you lose electricity. Weather-related power outages have doubled since 2003, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Without electricity, your sump pump will stop, your refrigerator won’t be able to keep your food chilled and your home security system won’t work. To
keep your home secured and operating without power, Del Grande recommends installing a permanent standby generator system. A standby generator like those from Kohler is a backup electrical system located on the outside of your home that turns on automatically when power is lost. Standby generators run on propane or natural gas, so they don’t need to be refueled, and they provide quality power that won’t damage appliances or electronics. They can keep all the essentials running - like the sump pump, your heating or air-conditioning, large appliances, lights and the security system, making it possible to protect your home from additional storm damage. Having backup power is critical for homes with children, the elderly or anyone with special medical needs. If you lose power for a short period of time or several days due to severe storms this summer, a Kohler standby
generator will turn your home into an energy oasis in your neighborhood. To learn more about standby power and to determine what size generator best suits your needs, visit KohlerGenerators.com.
5. Landscaping - Trees provide beautiful shade and backyard homes for birds and squirrels, but they can also cause great damage to a home during a storm. Hire an arborist to trim back limbs that hang over the house, or to remove trees completely if they are too close to the home. Broken branches or toppled trees frequently cause power outages and property damage during and following storms. Severe weather can strike any area of the country, sometimes with little or no warning. If your home is vulnerable to tornados, thunderstorms, hurricanes or heavy rain, use these tips from Del Grande to best prepare your home for whatever Mother Nature sends your way.

5. Safety and security - Trucks are taller, wider, heavier and require more stopping distance than the vehicle you are used to driving. Take extra precaution, especially when the truck is loaded. Watch out for low-hanging tree branches and building overhangs, and use extra caution when cornering. To protect your belongings, park in well-lit areas and padlock the rear door. To make sure you’ve got everything you need on moving day, create a travel bag for keeping important paperwork, credit cards, identification, a change of clothes, drinks and snacks close at hand. For a complete list of moving tips, visit www.PenskeTruckRental. com. As you cross days off on the calendar and the big day approaches, these tips will help you sail through the event with few conflicts. Before you know it, you’ll be settled in your new home.

2. Stock up on supplies - Big boxes might seem like a great idea because they can hold so much stuff, but what happens when you try to lift one and carry it down a flight of steps? Stock up on boxes of multiple sizes, but keep in mind that smaller is much easier to carry. Also stock up on foam and bubble wrap to protect your fragile items, a good supply of packing tape and bold markers for labeling boxes. You’ll also want to have moving blankets and hand trucks to make it
4. Pack smart - Load the heaviest items on the truck first. When you’ve got a sturdy base of the heaviest items, you can start stacking on top. This is when it’s handy to list a box’s contents on its side. If you have friends and family helping, they’ll know not to set books on top of your china.

1. Less is better - The less you have to move, the easier your move will be on your body and your wallet. It will also be easier to fit everything into your new house. While packing, create three piles. The first is your “mustgo” pile. The second is your “mustsell” pile, which includes anything you haven’t used in the last year, anything you have multiples of and anything you just don’t want any more. The third is the “mustthrow” pile, and it contains anything that can’t be sold at a garage sale or donated. Start creating these piles now, and it will make moving day much easier.
3. Rent a truck - One trip makes the big move simple, even if you’re just moving across town. Penske Truck Rental guarantees a truck for every reservation. Most movers find the 12- or 16-foot truck perfect for moving a few large items or the contents of a small condo or apartment. For guidance with larger moves or with your truck selection, visit www.

Don’t think of the extra checks as “bonuses,” but rather as practical investments into your mortgage.

Three expert tips for starting a successful vegetable garden Anyone can have a successful home garden no matter where they live by following a few steps from professional gardeners. Consider these three important tips for starting your garden right so you can enjoy fresh produce faster, thanks to the experts at Outdoor Essentials – makers of garden beds, compost bins and other gardening necessities. Step 1: Research appropriate early plantings Springtime is ideal garden time thanks to milder weather, and a good place to start is by researching proper plants for your region’s early season. If you have questions, consult your local nursery or call your local extension office for specialized advice.
Step 2: Prepare garden spaces for accelerated growth People who live in smaller homes, a townhouse or condo might prefer to use raised garden beds. Stylish and functional, raised garden planters from Outdoor Essentials eliminate the need to bend over to tend garden, a benefit that has made them vastly popular. Step 3: Tend daily and enjoy the fruits of your labor For best results, tend your garden on a daily basis. Check for soil moisture and water as necessary. Make sure to pluck weeds and watch for pest infestations. If done daily, it should only take a few minutes to verify the health of your garden, plus it’s fun to watch plants grow and flower.
