Jane Heiss-Armitage Associate Broker Homes in the Great Lakes Bay Region

On my way to work this morning my car said -2F. Every year the week of the Dow Corning Tennis Classic it is freezing. There is limited heat in the building so the warm bodies keep it warm. The play has been very exciting to watch and I sneak away from my desk and go watch it when I have a free moment. I love watching the young girls hit the ball so very hard. Raquets and strings have really changed since I began playing and teaching tennis. Its absolutely amazing. Go watch is you can !

Are you dug out of the snow yet ? After two days of doing work from home, I was able to get out on the road again, I enjoyed my couple of days (got caught up) and was able to answer all my emails and telephone calls from the comfort of my home. I was feeling sad for the birds and went thru 4' drifts to give them something to eat, which was alot of work on my part. I'm sure is was appreciated. My question to you is do you spend time at a work from home job? I think it has some possibilities, I'm from the old school where you go to the office every day. Now I think it might be time to revisit this issue.

Its that time of year again the Dow Corning Tennis Classic in Midland, Michigan, the only professional tournament in the State of Michigan. Beginings with Qualifying Matches on Sunday the 6th, followed by Main Draw matches on Tuesday, lots of great seats left and lots of great fun. If you haven't seen a professional tournament before this is a great one to be your first. See you out there !

Home Prices Decline for Fourth Straight Month
U.S. home prices, including distressed sales, fell 5.07 percent in November from the previous year. This is a smaller drop then before, in some area's it seems to have leveled out a little. But it is a great time to be a new home purchaser, with interest rates still on the low side and some of the banks have dropped the credit score down a little. All good signs for a new purchase!
