Why should I buy a brick home?
Nothing else can match the classic beauty and elegance of a brick home. Building with brick says "You have arrived." But there's more to brick than just looks. Brick offers lasting value. It can enhance the resale value of your home by as much as 6 percent. Brick is virtually maintenance free. It doesn't rot, dent, or need to be painted and it won't be eaten by termites. Brick is also energy efficient, keeping you cool in the summer and warm in the winter. In short, brick offers you a combination of advantages not found in any other siding material.

Strong rebound seen for home sales:

With all the negativity about the economy and the housing market, not all the news is bad. According to a story by Alan Zibel on Yahoo! News, "Home resales rose far more than expected last month to the highest level in more than two years as buyers scrambled to complete their purchases before a tax credit for first-time owners expires."

Home Owner Tips For Weathering The Winter

One way to save energy and money this winter is to install an ENERGY STAR qualified programmable thermostat. When installed and used with the four pre-programmed temperature settings for weekend and weekdays, you can save about $100 each year while staying comfortable. Before leaving for vacation, turn down your thermostat, or use a programmable one, so that you don't waste natural resources by generating unneeded heat. Winter storms often cause power outages. Prevent waste by keeping rechargeable batteries rather than disposable ones stored throughout your house with your flashlights. If you do use disposable batteries, prevent hazardous waste by buying batteries with low mercury content. Be safe and warm this Winter.
