This is a post I did over on Agent Genius earlier today.  I've been really struggling lately with feeling overwhelmed - too much to do, the list keeps growing, and then I start making mistakes.  I can be quick to beat myself up over it, but we all need to remember that the things we suck at give ...

I received this in an email from Progress Street Builders this afternoon, and I thought it might be good material for the blog.  The text is entitled "The Language of Building", and focuses on definitions of things that you might hear in construction of your new home.  As someone who just finish...

Continuing the theme from last month, movement in individual segments of the market but really no change in the market overall - despite MAJOR slowdowns in Dublin and Radford.  March moved 133 properties to closing, while April increased that number to 141 properties that closed, yet overall the ...
