I have found that the single biggest hurdle in Real Estate from a buying point of view is EXPECTATION!

What do I mean by that? Here is an example; a buyer wants to buy in Williamson County, wants great schools, large lot, hardwoods etc. In the area they want the homes are older but solidly built. The expectation problem? That for a great price the home will have newer roof, HVAC, Water heater as well as no other major problems. The price was negotiated down 10,000 and is a steal without the newer items. The buyer wants those items, the unrealistic expectation is that a home that fits these parameters can be found in this particular area in the price range desired.

There has to be give somewhere. Either you pay more and get newer(possibly less lot size however). Or if you are looking at "older" homes, you go into it with the knowledge that probably some of the components will be , gasp, "older". We all want everything our way and the best deal ever, but reasonable expectation is a must or you find yourself on the offer/rescind roller coaster, and that my friends is exhausting all the way around.

My advice? Sit down before hand and write out a list of things you MUST have in a home followed by things you would like and things that are no big deal. Really think about it, make sure your price range fits the desired amenities. Get your REALTOR involved ASAP, and be willing to compromise to get the most important items on your list. Don't let fear drive the bus, get experienced advice from contractors, inspectors and finance people versus your friends and well meaning family members. The experts do this all day long, listen to them.

That is my take, what's yours?!

What is the best way to clean a garbage disposal?

The garbage disposal is designed to pulverize food products which are then flushed away with water. The problem is that tiny food particles become trapped in the nooks and crannies of the garbage disposal, creating the perfect environment for bacteria and mold to grow.  

Cleaning the garbage disposal weekly will help reduce bacteria and mitigate unpleasant odors.

Pour one half cup of baking soda into the garbage disposal followed by one cup of white vinegar (do not pre-mix the two). Allow the mixture to work its magic for a few minutes while you boil water in a teakettle or similar size pot. The baking soda and vinegar will make "fizzing" noises. Once the water reaches a boil, carefully pour it into the disposal.

For sharpening the blades of your garbage disposal, fill it half way with ice cubes, run cold water into the unit at full pressure, and turn on the disposal to grind the ice. For a nice, fresh scent, put some peels from a lemon, orange, lime, or grapefruit in the drain with the ice cubes.*courtesy of NHI*

Personaly I like the lemon peel the best, smells so fresh and clean!

"HOPE IS INDEPENDENT OF THE APPARATUS OF LOGIC." Norman Cousins
Logic would say the financial news of the week should have put stock prices on the downslide. Industrial production was up just 0.2%, its weakest advance in 3 months, reflecting a 0.3% decline in output from U.S. factories. The week also saw record oil prices, closing above $80 a barrel for the first time on Thursday, then ending the week at $79.10. Friday, the Commerce Department announced that August Retail Sales, the most important indicator of the week, were up a less-than-anticipated 0.3%. Even worse, when strong August auto sales were excluded, the number was actually down 0.4%. Friday's trading was also colored by fresh concerns over the fallout from tight credit markets, when the Bank of England announced it would grant emergency funding to Northern Rock PLC, a lender facing a possible liquidity crisis.

So how did the markets react? The Dow rose to 13,442.52, an advance for the week of 2.5%--its best showing since April 22. In the broader indexes, the S&P 500 was up 2.2% and the NASDAQ up 1.4%-- their biggest weekly gains since mid-August.

Here's the logic, Wall Street style. The week's less-than-stellar economic and credit market news wasn't bad enough to spark recession worries, but should still push the Fed to cut its rate come Tuesday. That will ignite the markets, so now's the time to buy. Net result? The markets go up. An ordinary person relying merely on common sense might miss this play, of course.

On the bond side of the Street, Mortgage Bonds lost nearly 60 basis points, which worsened home loan rates. In the government bonds arena, the yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note fell to 4.46% on Friday.

>> This Week's Forecast

HERE COME THE FEDS.
There's a healthy roster of heavy happenings in the coming week, led by the biggest whopper of them all--Tuesday's FOMC (Federal Open Market Committee) meeting. Everyone expects the Fed to cut the funds rate by .25%, and many are looking for .50%. The central bank has left this benchmark rate unchanged at 5.25% for over a year following a string of monthly increases, and hasn't had a rate cut since 2003. A cut will make some borrowing less expensive, but not all costs will come down. Some ARMs (adjustable rate mortgages) are tied to benchmarks other than the Fed, such as the LIBOR (London Interbank Offered Rate), which last week hit multiyear highs. Bonds are aggressively priced for rate cuts and a disappointment by the Fed will only open up the ground beneath them.

In addition, this week three major investment banks will be reporting their quarterly results. This could give new spin to the credit situation, depending on their subprime exposure. Finally, our economic calendar features potentially enlightening PPI, CPI, and Housing Start reports.

>> The Week's Economic Indicator Calendar

Remember, in general, weaker than expected economic data is good for interest rates, while positive data causes rates to rise.

>> Federal Reserve Watch

Forecasting Federal Reserve policy changes in coming months. 

Consensus is building for the Fed to cut the fund rate on Tuesday, but it's holding to a .25% drop, not the .50% drop many experts are hoping for.
Current Fed Fund Rate: 5.25%

Odds of change from current policy:
