Housing Market bleak outlook....
Wednesday, 25 July 2007
Housing Market outlook…It looks like more trouble ahead for the National Housing Market.
“NAR reported that it’s main indicator of current activity – the pending sales index – fell in May to its lowest level since September 2001. Since May 2006, the index, which reflects contracts that are set to close in the proceeding two months, has dropped 13.5 percent.
At the SEBC regional housing conference, Zandi said the market won’t hit bottom until there is a significant combination of reduced production and price cuts. ….” learn more from Realty Times
Why Should I buy LIfe Insurance

Why Should I buy Life Insurance? ….This is a great question
Why should I buy life insurance? …
If people depend on your income, life insurance can replace that income for them if you die. The most commonly recognized case of this is parents with young children. However, it can also apply to couples in which the survivor would be financially stricken by the income lost through the death of a partner, and to dependent adults, such as parents, siblings or adult children who continue to rely on you financially. Insurance to replace your income can be especially useful if the government- or employer-sponsored benefits of your surviving spouse or domestic partner will be reduced after your death.
Life insurance can pay your funeral and burial costs, probate and other estate administration costs, debts and medical expenses not covered by health insurance.
Even if you have no other assets to pass to your heirs, you can create an inheritance by buying a life insurance policy and naming them as beneficiaries.
Life insurance benefits can pay estate taxes so that your heirs will not have to liquidate other assets or take a smaller inheritance. Changes in the federal “death” tax rules between now and January 1, 2011 will likely lessen the impact of this tax on some people, but some states are offsetting those federal decreases with increases in their state-level “death” taxes.

Best and Worst Home Improvements

Best and Worst Home Improvements. Which home improvements add value to your home for possible resale?…
“Before you install that custom wine cellar or bamboo flooring, it’s wise to make sure such upgrades won’t leave you in the red long-term. Fancy features such as these might not seem so essential to a buyer with different tastes.
Rather, in a market slump, sellers whose properties have the right add-ons get the highest rate of return on their investment, allowing them to move their homes faster and for more money than their neighbors…..” more Home Improvements

David Beckham's tattoos come to life for UNICEF campaign
Thursday, 12 July 2007
The former footballer - who has been a Goodwill Ambassador for the charity for 10 years - has shot a one-minute film in which tattoos on his body come to life as animated scenes of abuse against kids to raise awareness of the subject.
He said: "When I launched my 7 Fund with UNICEF, I made a commitment to do everything I can to make the world a safer place for children and to speak out on issues that are having a devastating impact on children's lives.
"One of those issues is violence. Every five minutes, somewhere in the world, a child dies from violence.
"Millions more are in danger of physical, emotional and sexual abuse that could destroy their childhoods forever."
The 41-year-old star - who has sons Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, and Cruz, 11, and five-year-old daughter Harper with wife Victoria Beckham - recalled hearing about horrific child abuse when he was in Cambodia last year.
He added: "I visited Cambodia with UNICEF where I met and listened to children tell me about terrible violence they have experienced.
"I was shocked by what I heard and I saw how violence can leave deep and lasting scars. No child should have to endure this.
"Yet in all corners of the world, in their homes, schools and on their streets, children are suffering similar violence.
"I hope this new project will draw attention to this urgent issue and inspire action. Violence against children is wrong and together we need to end it."
David launched 7: The David Beckham UNICEF Fund in February 2015 to campaign against child abuse.
