Living Green never tasted so good. The great thing about supporting our local farmers' market is that, since all produce, fruits, flowers and herbs are grown locally, it takes less gas to ship them in. It also supports the local economy by keeping money here in the community and giving the farmers a platform to sell their wares. Below is a sampling of the markets you'll find in our area. Enjoy!

Buying Power
30-year fixed interest rates at the end of December averaged 5.14%, slightly more than rates at the end of December 2008 - but well below year-end rates for the previous five years.
A $1,000 principal and interest payment supported a loan of $183,348 at the end of December 2009, roughly $20,000 more than December 2005 - 2007.
That increased buying power, combined with the homebuyer's tax credit, has brought a lot of folks off the sidelines and into the game.
