Earth Day

Earth Day is April 22 this year - a week from today. So, we thought we would give you a list of some of the local nurseries around to help you add a little color (green included) to our yards and patios.

A little later this week we will give you some suggestions or activities to celebrate Earth Day, so watch for that.

We asked for some of your input when putting this list together so let us know how you liked them.
Most of these nurseries have coupons on specials on their websites so we are including a link to those.

Now get out there and get your hands in the dirt! We'd love to see some pictures of what you've all done of the yard too - send us some!

What are you waiting for?


Sellers Who Delay May Miss Out

Some would-be move-up home sellers are eyeing home prices carefully. They’re waiting to see how much home prices appreciate more before they consider selling their home. But they may be missing their perfect opportunity, some housing experts say. 
The best time to move may depend on when the home owner purchased their current residence, says Daren Blomquist, vice president of RealtyTrac. Blomquist says that home owners who purchased their home during the sluggish market the last two to three years may find moving up in 2013 may be their prime opportunity. 
"Because they bought near the bottom, these home owners should have built up some good equity that can go toward the purchase of a new home, and waiting longer to build more equity likely won’t provide much advantage given that other homes that they might want to move up to will also be appreciating at roughly the same pace," Blomquist told HousingWire.
Home owners who wait much longer to sell their home may miss out. 
"If you're selling one house just to move up to another, it does you no good to wait for prices to rise — the price of the move-up home will increase faster than the price of the place you're leaving behind," says Redfin CEO Glenn Kelman. 
Plus, mortgage rates are expected to come off the 3.5 percent range and reach 4.4 percent in the next year, according to the Mortgage Bankers Association. That will increase the costs of financing your next home.
