Just read another article on this topic, seeing this more and more every year at inspections, etc.

A risk factor that is the second most likely cause of lung cancer, according to the CDC, is exposure to radon, which is an odorless, naturally occurring radioactive gas that can be found in rocks and dirt. It is estimated to cause 20,000 deaths per year. While there's always radon in the air, the issue occurs when radon builds up in a house, usually from seeping in through cracks. You can test for radon in your home using a kit from a hardware store, and should your home test positive, you can call upon a mitigation contractor to fix the issue.

Year over year numbers from 2020 to 2021. Sales are up and inventory has been very low. Keep in mind the inventory is slowly growing week to week over the past month. We are slowly trending having more and more inventory. This should help anyone looking to buy in the next 3-6 months.

| Mortgage interest rates have dropped considerably over the past year, and compared to what we’ve seen in recent decades, it’s a great time to buy a home. Locking in a low rate today could save you thousands of dollars over the lifetime of your home loan, but these low rates may not last forever.

Some of how homes are being shown to potential home buyers during these Covid 19 times. Overall market is very strong, offers typically need to be at asking price or higher in most newly listed homes for sale.

Winter is almost here! Here are a few tips to help prepare for the cold weather.

Inside:

Inspect your heating system. Make sure to replace your furnace’s dirty filters to prevent using unnecessary, costly energy and keep up with overall maintenance. Test the furnace’s thermostat for functionality.
Test smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors. This is especially important during winter months when fires are more common. Be sure to replace batteries at the start of the season.
Check your doors and windows for drafts. If drafts are present, proper weather stripping of these gaps are necessary.
Protect your hot water heater with an insulation blanket, your exterior outlets with foam-sealing gaskets, and your unused fireplace with fiberglass insulation.
Look in your attic and make sure there aren’t any rodents living there—winter is their favorite time to hole up in homes.
Switch your fans to rotate clockwise, allowing warm air to blow towards the floor to enhance energy efficiency.

Outside:

Caulk wood trim around exterior windows and doors. This will help insulate them and stop cold air and leaks from coming through.
Check outside drains so water doesn’t seep into your home. Dips around the foundation create water buildup, causing intrusion. Make sure that downspouts are pointing away from the house.
Protect pipes from freezing, then busting, by disconnecting your garden hose from the outside spigot and letting the water drain out of the line.
Clean your gutters to ensure no leaves or debris are present. This prevents water from pooling up and overflowing, causing water to run down the exterior of your home.
Have the chimney swept professionally if you have a fireplace. Clear obstructions within the chimney, check the damper for proper opening/closing function, and look for cracked mortar joints between bricks.
Seal masonry surfaces—asphalt driveways, patios, etc. to prevent expansion created by ice, which forms cracks. If cracks are present water intrusion could occur and cause damage.
Cover patio furniture or store it to prevent damage from snow, rain, wind, etc.
Get shovels, snowblowers and salt ready for the first snow.
