Comparing Schools When You Make A Move

When you are making a move you always want to consider location, the home itself, the school system, taxes, closing costs, your interest rate and your mortgage.

A good public school system can be an important consideration for home buyers, even if you don’t have school-aged children. Good schools can enhance the resale value of your home and make it more attractive to a broader range of potential buyers and tenants.

To check out school information, go to School Match, which offers school data services. Here you’ll find test scores, student-teacher ratios, spending, college bound information and more.

When you find that special home you look to be there for a long time. However if you have done your homework and do have to make a move sooner than expected, having done these things will help you get the best price for your property if you do have to sell.

Turkey Buzzards are commonly found in the Hudson Valley but usually when you see one, there are at least 10 to 15 more around close by. This was sitting in the tree right outside my deck. The picture probably doesn't do the size of the bird justice as this is probably at least 6 or 7 times the size of my dog. Now let me clarify that my dog is only 3 pounds. :-)

I was amazed when I saw this clip on the Ellen Show the other day. Then today I came across it quite by accident and decided to post it. I was very intrigued by the bird "sleigh riding" over and over again on a longer clip that was very bouncy and hard to watch so I have posted a shorter clip. Seeing the bird going up and down really makes you think about how just how smart they are. Enjoy! Would love to hear your comments also.
