Construction Spending is at the highest level since the recession began in 2007 Construction spending is on the rise and at the highest levels since 2007 all fueled by home building. The Commerce Department said last week publicly that our construction figures rose to an annually adjusted rate of 1.1 Trillion, and that is greater than any year since 2007. A lot more Americans are buying homes or renting which is lending to a push in residential construction. In addition a lot of Federal spending is on the rise along with state and local governments with the construction of schools, roads and public buildings. This is partially due to an increase in tax revenues, along with an increase in population growth. In the past 12 months, overall spending has increased 13%. The construction of single family homes rose 1% in October, and manufacturers spurred their building expenditures by 3%. A huge windfall was for Federal spending at a growth rate of a 19% increase which is the largest ...

Homes for a song: For sale for $30,000 or less By Christopher Solomon of MSN Real Estate Think you can't afford to buy a house? Think again. Thanks to the Great Recession and the titanic tanking of the real-estate market, some shockingly cheap property is up for sale. If you're willing to relocate – OK, sometimes really relocate – and to put in a lot of sweat equity, you can buy a home for as little as $30,000 in markets as diverse as Lansing, Mich., and Miami. At late October's national average 30-year fixed mortgage rate of 3.94%, a full loan on a $30,000 home would amount to just $173.44 per month. That's far cheaper than renting. With help from our partner Realtor.com, we've found a dozen properties around the nation. Admittedly, most aren't in the next hip neighborhood, and all need some TLC. But if you're looking for an investment or a starter home, this could be the ticket. NOTE: All descriptive information is courtesy of listing agents. Pr...

My daughter and I had been just disembarked from a cruise and decided to explore South Beach on our last day in Florida, hoping we could secure a room for the night.. Turned out it was Good Friday--uh oh! After hours of traipsing around with our luggage in the heat going from one booked hotel to another we found Laura's listing on the internet in what I now suspect was an act of Divine Intervention. It was a quiet oasis in the heart of the hip, pulsating South Beach. Laura responded to my on line query immediately and met us at the Studio within the half hour so that we could leave our bags and get on the beach. She was lovely, helpful, and gave us tips about inexpensive van services to the airport the next morning. I can not recommend her highly enough. Stephanie Laura was absolutely great, incredibly flexible, attentive, available and overall very welcoming. Her apartment is an oasis on South Beach. I very much recommend her studio for anyone wanting to stay on the...

I saw some very rude people today in action. A Hatian gentlemen got on the bus, and apparently did not have money on his pass. The bus driver was more or less giving him a really hard time, and others on the bus were chiming in. Before you act rude to another person, why don't you take a step back ... and walk in that person's shoes for a moment. You do not know if he just got off the phone to find out his mom and dad passed away. Get a grip. Get a life. If everybody would just pause one moment before showing your rude side, close your eyes and think for a second, we would have a lot better world. The strange thing is how people tend to escalate the hate process and their adrenaline begins working. Why don't you go out and get some meds? I surely hope that everybody can just be nice, a novel concept.
