Is It Getting More Affordable To Buy a Home?Over the past year or so, a lot of people have been talking about how tough it is to buy a home. And while there’s no arguing affordability is still tight, there are signs it’s starting to get a bit better and may improve even more throughout the year. Elijah de la Campa, Senior Economist at Redfin, says:“We’re slowly climbing our way out of an affordability hole, but we have a long way to go. Rates have come down from their peak and are expected to fall again by the end of the year, which should make homebuying a little more affordable and incentivize buyers to come off the sidelines.”1. Mortgage RatesMortgage rates have been volatile this year – bouncing around in the upper 6% to low 7% range. That’s still quite a bit higher than where they ...

Firstly, let me express to you that I am not a developer. I don't intend to design any applications for the web, nor do I intend to contribute to the open source movement which has just received a shot in the arm by Google's new browser: Chrome. Today is the first day that I've had the pleasure, yes the pleasure of using it. In fact, I'm writing this post inside of Chrome now. History of the Browser The reason you may not know anything about the history of the browser is because you entered the internet arena too late.

John Lupypciw, President of Continental Group, is frustrated by the interference and micromanagement by Scottsdale City Planners in respect to his $22 million development of the northwest corner of Miller Road and Osborn into one hundred condominiums. The funny thing is that often times its the developer who fights for permission to build taller buildings but in this case its the city pushing for greater height.  Not suprisingly, the taller buildings that Scottsdale wants would result in higher priced condominiums. Hey, we at WeKnowUrban are all for cool, edgy, lofts and high rises but we also believe economic diversity adds to the viability and vibrancy of the urban landscape.  Less expensive residents will allow a wider demographic to enjoy the area than would otherwise be possible wi...

Home Builder Taylor Morrison Home builder Taylor Morrison has shifted its North American headquarters westward, moving its base of operations from Florida to Arizona. The home builder relocated its corporate offices to Scottsdale, Arizona., at the end of July to better align the company’s headquarters with its strongest home building markets, said Taylor Morrison President and Chief Executive Officer Sheryl Palmer. “We see our relocation to Arizona as being beneficial for Taylor Morrison as a whole,” Palmer said. “Our biggest markets are located in the western United States and they will provide significant growth for the company in years to come.” Taylor Morrison currently operates more than 200 communities across the United States.

Let's face it, more than a few foreigners come to Costa Rica with the idea that true love might be found here, far from the home shores. Heaven knows it's easy enough to spot desirable potential candidates in a country where human pulchritude more than matches the beauty and drama of the lush tropical setting. But what happens when the passion points to something more permanent, when the magic leads to marriage? Experts agree that even in this hyperglobal age, many are the challenges to bicultural couples. The cultural and linguistic setting into which one is born structures that person's very perception of reality, meaning that it's more than mere words that can get lost in translation. The inimitably named "bi-cultural couples coach," Gudrun Kitten-Thong, identifies gender roles, the ...

Pure Sushi & Bar located in the North Scottsdale community of Grayhawk, is a very welcome relatively-recent addition to the neighborhood. The interior design of Pure is very contemporary and elegant- all white décor, somewhat stark and very modern, without being cold. There is also comfortable seating under a shaded patio outside if you prefer to dine al fresco. Overall, it gives off a chic "lounge" feel. Complementing the beautiful design of the restaurant is spectacular sushi and other Japanese specialties. You can find traditional rolls, sushi and sashimi on the menu or you can order off a more traditional dinner menu. Some highlights are the tuna carpaccio and snow crab sunimono starters as well as the yakisoba noodle entrée. The sashimi and sushi samplers are also a great way to ta...

In the US, the average car insurance deductible is between $200 and $500. The increase in insurance premium can cost hundreds of dollars annually. Considering these factors, consumers should determine whether the rise in insurance premium is worth making an insurance claim for small dents, scratches, and other damages. Often, using a local repair shop and paying the repair bill without making an insurance claim is cheaper and faster than going through the red tape and hoop jumping of the insurance claims process.   Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) is one common form of repair for minor dents. PDR is an acceptable form of repair in some cases. However, in many cases, PDR leaves the vehicle with visible damage or areas that will show visible damage during weathering and aging processes. There ...

Every day I have the opportunity to meet people, to present my ideas, and to be successful. Every day I also have the opportunity to fall victim to what many of us do when we have a vision for something great. We wait for perfection. A perfect website, a perfect presentation, a perfect, a perfect, a perfect. Not going to happen. The word perfect has been defined in many ways, but for the most part, the common understanding of perfect indicates absolute conformity with a standard or ideal, unimprovable, accurate or correct in every detail, etc. It's just impossible to be perfect. I supposed one can expect to be perfectly imperfect in everything they do, which is why waiting around for that perfect performance, the perfect document, the perfect way to say something is only going to keep y...
