Do you have a house in Auburn or Opelika and are wondering how to prevent your pipes from freezing this winter?  Once the weather turns crisp, before homeowners cozy up to their fireplaces or under their goose-down duvets, there’s something critical they need to tend to first outside: their home’s pipes. Learning how to keep pipes from freezing is one of those essential homeowner skills you definitely don’t want to overlook.Why? Because when water freezes, it expands, which can cause pipes to burst—flooding your basement, ruining your drywall, and costing thousands of dollars in repairs. In fact, the Hartford Insurance Co. reports that the average claim for damage from a frozen pipe is a whopping $18,000, according to its analysis of five years of winter claims data.How to Keep Pipes Fr...

Another year is upon us, and that means out with the old and in with the new — for everything! New trends overtake the old ones for fashion, cars, interior design, and of course kitchen decorating. Last year saw a lot of Pinterest worthy trends that really dominated: lots of dark wood surfaces in the kitchen, copper toned accents throughout, and granite countertops for miles. But 2016 is almost over, and as we say goodbye to year, we also say goodbye to the farmhouse kitchen look, the wide open floor plan kitchen layout, and every single one of those glossy backsplash tiles that look as if they’d be more at home on the walls of a subway station in New York City. Goodbye to all of that!Five Kitchen Decorating Trends to Look for 2017For all of your real estate needs in the Auburn-Opelika ...

Do you own your home in Auburn or Opelika? Thanks to rising home prices, home owners are getting richer, a new study says. The amount of homeowner equity has doubled in the last five years, according to CoreLogic’s latest Home Price Index and HPI Forecast for September 2016."Home equity wealth has doubled during the last five years to $13 trillion, largely because of the recovery in home prices," says Frank Nothaft, chief economist for CoreLogic.
