Hello neighbors,

As mentioned in last week's post, "Getting To Know Your Neighbors, How To Welcome New Comers To the Neighborhood", we mentioned that with new incentives to buying homes and lower home cost, many are gaining new neighbors in their neighborhoods. If you have gained a new neighbor or two recently check out the rest of our list on getting to know your neighbors.

Be Appreciative - If your neighbor does something to their home, lawn, or etc. tell them thank you especially if it improves the look of the home or neighborhood. Remember, each individual home and lawn makes up the neighborhood and you would like for your neighborhood to look appealing.

Assume the Best - If your new neighbor does something annoying do not assume that he or she knows that their action or actions are annoying to you. When or if you confront them remember to approach the situation in a calm manor.

Be Calm - If your neighbor happens to approach you regarding an annoyance on your part remember to be calm and hear them out. By staying calm, you are keeping the lines of communications open between yourself and them as well as a possible resolution to the issue.

The Golden Rule - And last but not least, we all should remember the golden rule, treat others the way you would like to be treated. If we all live by this rule the world would be a better place.

Greetings neighbors,

With housing prices looking pretty good and incentives such as the extension of the tax credit, you or someone you know may have gained a few new neighbors in the neighborhood. With that being said, do you know how to meet and greet new neighbors in your neighborhood? Here are a few things you can do to establish a relationship with new comers to the neighborhood.

Meet Your New Neighbor - Of course this would be the most obvious courtesy. If you're walking to the mailbox or walking your dog take a few seconds out of your task and approach your new neighbor. A simple "Good Morning" or "How's it going", can easily break the ice.

Keep Them Informed - If you plan on doing something that may affect your neighbor have the courtesy of letting them now. If you plan to throw a party or gathering, put up a fence, or cut a tree that's hanging over in their yard, make them aware. This shows a sense of neighborly respect.

Be Aware and Respect Differences - Factors such as age, race, religion, sexual orientation, or marital status all have an affect on lifestyle. Recognizing and showing mutual respect for one's differences will go a long way.

Finding Out What You Have In Common - You both may like to roller blade or run, take notice of something your neighbor does on a regular and if you enjoy doing the same thing strike up a conversation. Maybe you will have a new running partner.

Keep in mind, a neighbor can be temporarily or permanent, wouldn't it be great to have a respectful/peaceful relationship either way?

Stay tuned for more ways to meet and greet new neighbors.

Greetings neighbors,

How many of you have heard of "America's Living Room"? Well, for those of you who have never heard of the 18th century estate, it was the largest remaining privately held estate in Georgetown until recently.

It has been announced that the 13,000 square foot home has been placed on the market.

The 8 bedroom, 6 bath home sits on at least three and one-half acres and contains amenities such as: a dining room suitable to seat 40 people, a ballroom, pine-paneled drawing room, and a 2,300 square-foot gate keeper's house.

Also, for those who want to know the asking price, it's only being sold for a "cool" $39.5 million.

Long & Foster Realtors have since created a website devoted to the historic mansion.

Greetings neighbors,

Wondering if you can afford a home these days? Well according to a recent joint report from the National Association of Home Builders and Wells Fargo, over 70% of U.S. homes are affordable right now.

During the last quarter of 2009, 70.8 percent of new and existing homes sold were said to be affordable to American families earning the national medium income of $64,000 according to the Housing Opportunity Index (HOI). This number is slightly higher when compared to the previous quarter, however close to the record number of 72.5 percent during the first quarter of last year.

Decreased housing prices in conjunction with lower mortgage rates have contributed to this record year of housing affordability. As for the most affordable metro cities, the report named: Detroit-Livonia-Dearborn, Mich.; Dayton, Ohio; Youngstown-Warren-Boardman, Ohio-Pa.; and Akron, Ohio.

As for the least affordable Metro cities, the report named: San Francisco; Honolulu; Santa Ana-Anaheim-Irvine, Calif.; Los Angeles-Long Beach-Redwood City, and New York-White Plains-Wayne, N.Y.-N.J. coming in at number one.
