What can be greater than actually buying your first house?  OK, that’s open to interpretation of course.  But in terms of life moves, it has to be up there as one of the best and happiest times.  It can also be stressful, if for no other reason, the lack of certainty.

Now a study shows that shopping local is not just good for the merchant, it’s also good for local homeowners! A thriving business district actually helps to raise the values of the homes in that area!  The study conducted by American Express OPEN indicates that home values in neighborhoods close to such active business districts wit... 06/19/2012
