Real Estate Stats
Tacoma Real Estate to Seattle Real Estate home sales have picked up and so have surrounding cities within Pierce, King, and Thurston Counties.
Nationally, home sales were nearly 30 percent higher in March 2009 than in February, and that's the second month in a row that home sales shot upwards.
Median home prices have essentially returned to where they were in early 2003, which means that affordability is close to being as good as it's ever been.

Home Care Tips | Screen Doors | Tacoma Real Estate
Almost every sliding patio screen door in the world sticks, because few homeowners know they can adjust the rollers that run in the track. You still need to keep the track clean, but adjusting the rollers is the key. Look at the base of the door; you will see two small Phillips screw heads. They will be above the frame or in the side of the door, near the bottom. Tightening these screws lowers the rollers and lifts the door so the door rolls on the rollers without rubbing the frame. See Figure to the right.. Most doors have a similar roller adjustment for the top rollers. If the door is tight or bound in the frame, loosen these top screws to allow the door to be raised when lowering rollers and screws. Don't adjust the door to the point that it's squeezed between the top and bottom frame.

Home Care Tips | Light Bulbs | Tacoma Real Estate
Sometimes, especially on exterior light fixtures, the glass bulb breaks away from the metal base. There is no best way to remove the base from the fixture, but here are several options. Before replacing an exterior light, purchase a higher quality bulb with a brass- plated or copper-plated base that will not rust. You could coat the threads with a special dielectric grease available at automotive stores. Dry lubricant, Permatex Anti-Seize, and Vaseline will also work. To remove the broken base, first make sure the power is off. Wear eye protection. Protect the immediate area from broken glass that may remain on the base. I like to use a needle nose pliers to grab the metal rim of the bulb and twist it. You can also jam the nose of the pliers into the base of the bulb to get a grip. Sometimes opening the pliers inside the metal threads will give you a grip. If all else fails, use the needle nose pliers to collapse the metal threads until you can remove them.
