How to Reduce Noise in an Open-Plan Design

Thumb_reducenoise2

Posted in Houzz.com by Houzz.com


Open-plan living spaces have many advantages for family life and entertaining, and they increase the opportunity to bring lots of natural light into your home. But they can end up being quite noisy. You may be surprised, however, at how easy it is to reduce sound travel with a few key additions to your furnishings. There are also structural changes you can make if you’re after a more robust fix.

Keeping Up with the Joneses: The Great Paint Debate

Thumb_newhome-1024x757

Posted in Living by Tyler Davis Jones


The vinyl siding of the 1942 Seattle Cape Cod fixer we purchased nine months ago had been sun bleached to the point of resembling a kind of soft lemon chiffon yellow you’d see on a cake your grandmother baked.

#YourStoryIsOurStory: Kicking off the School Year Right

Thumb_denise_coe_photo_2

Posted in #YourStoryIsOurStory, Community, and Windermere Foundation by Tara Sharp


Starting the school year can be nerve wracking; new friends, new classroom, and for some, a new school all together. Imagine starting the new year already behind, with shoes that don’t fit, clothes that are stained or too small, and inadequate school supplies. Many Windermere offices work very hard at the start of the school year to ensure this doesn’t happen for kids in our communities...

First Day of Autumn

Thumb_14334767_1742413509357137_6790207866067222528_n

Posted in Living by Pattie O'Loughlin


Even though it happens year after year, the arrival of autumn is always a little surprising. Almost as if on a switch, one day late in the summer you feel it – a subtle crispness in the air. And before you know it, it’s pumpkin-spice-everything everywhere. We are suddenly swathed in sweaters, wearing boots, and bombarded by shades of orange, often even before the thermometer warrants it.

U.S. Government $10,000 Short Sale Incentive Expires December 30, 2016

Thumb_dreamstime_m_31853529

Posted in Short Sales by Richard Eastern


The federal government’s Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives (HAFA) Program is set to expire December 30, 2016. The program pays homeowners $10,000 to complete a short sale rather than go through the foreclosure process. Since the application deadline for HAFA is only a few months away, it is important for homeowners to apply as soon as possible.

Great Design Element: Why Awnings Are Making a Comeback

Thumb_awnings2

Posted in Houzz.com and Living by Houzz.com


Awnings are a valuable home design element that our grandparents knew all about. In the days before air conditioning, they were used to shade interiors and help keep homes cool. With the focus on sustainable design today, there’s renewed interest in the power of awnings.

Do You Have ‘Average’ Credit? If so, Getting a Mortgage May Be Tough

Thumb_content_matthewgardner_color

Posted in Inman News and Market News by Matthew Gardner, Chief Economist, Windermere Real Estate


Today, lenders require nothing short of pristine credit to obtain a mortgage. We can never return to the reckless lending policies of the past, but I believe they’ve gone too far, and it concerns me.
