UGH. The garage is the classic place to put random stuff that you can't find a designated spot for - at least for me and my family. LOL. A lot of people use their garage more as a free storage unit instead of a place to park your cars. With that being said, it's...

Mortgage Rates Hit 4-Year Highs
Sellers should pay heed to the mortgage-rate gods......and do a little better on price, just in case. Rates will be pushing 5% before long. From the MND: Mortgage rates moved markedly higher today, officially leaving them at new 4-year highs. The only other time...
