Excited about the New Home, Adjusting to a New School
Post Your Comments Published by Patrick Warholic on September 15, 2007 at 12:31 AM.
You are excited about your new home but just as important is your children settling into their new environment. A new school is important both academically and socially. The best way to help children start well is to register before school starts, if possible, to be sure any curriculum problems can be ironed out ahead of time
Check with your Realtor for your local schools and also neighborhood after school programs to meet other children.

- Before school starts. Communication with the school administration should start as early as possible by mail or while visiting the destination area on a house-hunting trip. Take the child by the school and walk around, check in the classrooms and where the restrooms are located. Those coming from gifted or other special programs or magnet schools, check with the school secretary on extracurricular activities.
- During the school year. If the move is during the school year, parents should check back with the school and monitor their children’s work to be sure they are adjusting well and are in the correct levels or classes. But don’t expect disaster. Often "new kids" are a popular novelty during the year, and nothing beats the bus for making new friends.
- Making friends is important. A good social adjustment at the start is just as important as academic adjustment – especially for junior high or middle school students. While a teacher may assign a buddy for the new child for the first few days in elementary school, junior high students are often left to fend for themselves. Parents can help by making a point of finding at least one schoolmate for their child and arranging a meeting before starting school.
Check with your Realtor for your local schools and also neighborhood after school programs to meet other children.

The Emerging Market of Condominiums
Post Your Comments Published by Patrick Warholic on at 12:24 AM.
Condominiums are designed to provide multi-family housing and are good solutions for many homebuyers.
Indicators for a Strong Market in Multi-Family Housing Units
If condos are such a good investment - why are there so may for sale?
The supply outweighs the demands. When a single home is offered, that is one home on the market but when a developer sells a project, it is usually 500 plus homes to the market. An oversupply doesn’t always mean the product is deficient. When affordable housing is available, why would you pass it up? Ask your realtor about the great Condominiums or Townhomes in your area. Your Realtor has the connections for exactly what you are looking for.

Indicators for a Strong Market in Multi-Family Housing Units
- Single and Non-Traditional households represent the majority of housing consumers.
- Single Women make up nearly a quarter of the homebuyer market and they prefer Multi-family Housing.
- Condos are also gaining interest among first time home buyers, empty nesters and retirees.
- Condos are great second homes
- And usually they are owner occupied instead of renters.

The claim always seemed too good to be true: park your infant in front of a video and, in no time, he or she will be talking and getting smarter than the neighbor's kid.
Researchers find that these products may be doing more harm than good. Forty Percent of babies are regular viewers of DVDs, videos or television; by the time they are two years old, almost 90% are spending two to three hours each day in front of a screen. We know that watching television delays language development while children who got daily reading or storytelling time with their parents showed an increase in language skills.
Keep in mind though, the popular baby videos and DVDs were designed to stimulate infants' brains, not necessarily to promote language development the one thing that babies need in the first months of life — face time with human beings. "Every interaction with your child is meaningful, time is precious in those early years, and the newborn is watching you, and learning from everything you do." So just talk to them; they're listening.
