Despite all the recent issues with foreclosure and the dropping of property values, ninety-two percent of Americans believe, even now, that a house is still a good investment for the future, according to the results of a recent survey. Some of you may be wondering, "But how can this be? We're not selling for more than we bought anymore!"

The answer is simple. You can buy or you can rent. The money you spend renting is money that you will never see again. If you buy real estate, the money is going into something that you are working to own. The money is going to something of value and something that you can use for many years if you take care of it. In a rental situation, you know for certain that you are always taking a financial loss for temporary lodging. You get to use an accommodation for the months that you pay for it and that is the only value those dollars will get you.

You've done the big move between faraway places or at least somewhere nearby. Some of you have even moved overseas in the past. It's challenging and can be exhausting work. With that in mind, we've provided you with a few handy reminders to make the process much easier, specifically dealing with supplies.

Boxes, obviously are the first on the supply list in the minds of most people who are getting ready for a move, but don't neglect the trash bag! A supply of good, sturdy trash bags can be a great way to move unbreakable things like clothes or many items that won't fit easily into a box. You can even label them with stickers or by tying on a tag or color-coded ribbon to keep you organized.

Whalers Realty, Inc. was a proud sponsor of the Big Brothers Big Sisters Gingerbread Event held on Saturday December 15th at the Sheraton, Maui.

The annual event allows children in the program to spend the day creating castles from confections which are then displayed in the hotel over the holiday season.

It is a great way for everyone involved to share in the holiday spirit, and for the children to express their creativity. The event raises funds for the Maui branch of the Big Brothers Big Sister’s organization.

Big Brothers Big Sisters is taking donations in any amount and also accepts clothing and small household items for donation as well.
