The U.S. housing market has experienced significant changes in recent years, with mortgage interest rates reaching record lows in 2020 and 2021, and then surging to 20-year highs in the last quarter of 2022 before settling in the 6% range. Learn what this means for home prices!
Repaint the Vinyl Shutters on Your Home
Due to their economical cost and low maintenance, many homes are equipped with vinyl shutters rather than traditional wood. While vinyl shutters have many advantages, their color can fade over time with sun exposure. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars to replace them, why not repaint them for a fresh, new look? Follow these tips to make repainting your vinyl shutters a breeze!
Plant an Herb Garden for Your Home
A great way to add flavor to your cooking and fragrance to your home is to grow an herb garden. Herbs are easy to care for, carry many health benefits and attract pollinators, which can benefit your other plants. Herb gardens can be grown in containers, raised bed gardens or directly in the ground. These herbs are easy to grow and used most often in recipes!
