Image
Colorado’s hot, dry summer’s weather may mean another round of water shortages. With water restrictions in place, keeping your family’s backyard flower and vegetable gardens moist and viable could be a serious challenge. Consider purchasing a rain barrel. These heavy-duty plastic or wood barrels catch rainwater and store it until you need it. A rain barrel allows for the practical reuse of water that otherwise would run down your driveway into a street drain, form puddles in your yard or feed into area streams. Reusing rainwater doesn’t just help the environment; it can lower your water bill and teach your kids about the importance of water preservation. The federal Environmental Protection Agency estimates that lawn and garden watering comprise nearly 40 percent of household water use during the summer, and that a rain barrel can save most homeowners about 1,300 gallons of water during peak summer months.

Even as more homes come on the market for this popular sales season, they're flying off fast. Home prices have now surpassed their last peak, and at the entry level, where demand is highest, sellers are in the driver's seat." Spring home buyers are pounding the pavement at a furious pace, but the pickings are getting ever slimmer.

For those of you that have seen "The Money Pit" with Tom Hanks and Shelley Long, everything went wrong for the aspiring homeowners, but how would you like to be the poor folks featured in this story ?

The Willow Creek picnic was a hit. Some of the neighbors were there early and most helped with the set up and the pickup after the party. The storm gave us a scare for a while, but overall it was not bad; it rained for about 15 minutes, but we had plenty of shelter and tents.

Absorption Rate Definition

The rate at which a market can absorb additional units of supply without causing market saturation and severe price distortions. For example, during a recessionary period, many homeowners may list their house for sale. Since the supply of homes entering the home resale market increased without a corresponding increase in demand, the market absorption rate has been exceeded, and the market price of the resale homes declines. A simple definition is the number of months it takes to sell the current inventory at the present rate of sales.
