December's Housing Starts was the day's only relevant economic data. It showed that starts of new home construction fell much more than expected last month. That is good news for the bond market because it hints at a slowing housing sector. However, clouding the picture was a spike in new permits issued that gives us an indication of future home starts. Prior to construction beginning, builders must pull permits from local city and county offices. The unexpected increase in new permits tells us that more projects are about to get under way, making it likely that we will see an increase in January's Housing Starts data. Therefore, we can consider this data neutral towards mortgage rates. There are two monthly reports scheduled for release soon in addition to weekly unemployment figures that have carried a little more significance lately than they usually do. December's Existing Home Sales is the first and is considered to be moderately important. The National Association of REALTORS® gives us this housing report, which tracks home resales in the U.S. It is expected to show an increase in home sales last month, meaning that the housing sector strengthened. Ideally, the bond market would prefer to see a decline in sales, but a small increase should not negatively affect mortgage rates tomorrow. ...read more

RISMEDIA, July 1, 2010—The summer is officially upon us. And what that, comes weeds, bugs and, of course, more time needed to tend to your lawn. Here, learn how you can make the most of the season with these summer lawn care tips: Mansfield Lawn Care 1. Proper watering and water conservation is important at any time of year, but particularly when heat and a lack of rain lead to water deficits and drought. 2. Evaluate your lawn regularly for signs of irregular color and texture. These can be signs of damage that may result from pests or disease. 3. Proper year-round lawn care keeps a lawn healthy and prevents weeds, disease and pests. But sometimes, insects you may not notice can travel from the yard to your home. To stop them, hire pest control to keep the bugs on the outside. You can also reduce their outside presence by treating the lawn for insects such as fleas and ticks and fire ants. 4. While lawns are generally the focal point of most yards, don't forget about trees and shrubs. Well-maintained landscaping adds dimensionality to a home and increases its value. 5. In the heat of the summer, you may be tempted to mow your lawn in shorts and flip flops, but remember, you need to stay safe: wear long pants and closed-toed shoes. 6. Also, no matter what outdoor activity you're enjoying, be sure to stay hydrated with plenty of water. 7. The essentials of good summer lawn care are watering, fertilizing and proper mowing. However, sometimes an underlying problem (such as bare spots or severely damaged turf) requires additional measures. Have a great 4th of July and celebrate our great Nation and the freedoms we enjoy. God Bless America! ...read more
